Volume 2 speculations

[Saibot2840]

Personally i believe it will be the following:

-MGS4: they have to do it a lot of people want this game to get out of the ps3 and they will get a lot of money just with this one

-MGS Portable ops: This game really needs an upgrade with better controls and hd.

-MGS peace walker

I don't know for mgs V and metal gear rising, i highly doubt they will be on the collection because they are still available.

For the rest:

Acid 1 and 2
Portable ops +
Ghost of Babel

Leaker who managed to successfully predict mgs delta and volume 1 said that volume 2 is portable ops, peace walker and metal gear rising. No MGS4.

Got a link to this claim?

MGS4, MGS PW, MGS GZ+TPP
Why MGSV again? The Nintendo Switch.
I would love for Portable Ops to be included as well, but I am not holding my breath. Maybe as a bonus like how Snakes Revenge/ MG1 NES is included this time.

Let's pray that Twin Snakes will be in there as well. Not that I like TS or anything, but I equally believe in preservation for the good AND the bad, and also because I just want people to finally shut up about it. Putting MGS1 and a remake of MGS1 in the same collection just doesn't make sense to me.

Metal Gear Ghost Babel, Metal Gear Acid, Metal Gear Acid 2, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops (including Portable Ops Plus), Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and maybe Metal Gear Solid 4.

That would be 6-7 games similiar to the 7 games included in Vol. 1 with Metal Gear, Metal Gear NES, Snakes Revenge, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid (including VR Missions), Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.

Metal Gear Rising is likely, because it isn`t available on NS, PS4/PS5 and only backwards compatible on xbox series x/s and they could port the pc version which runs at 1080p instead of 720p and also added things like the option to re-watch cutscenes and play codec calls, option to just do boss battles and the ability to modify the amount of cuts the player can make during gameplay. On steam they could just include the current version in a Vol. 2 bundle, and give owners a discount.

They are likely going in release order with what they include with the exception being Ghost Babel which is likely included in Vol. 2 instead of Vol. 1, because it is a portable game and was directed by the same person behind Acid 1+2.

I personally think they will put portable ops because there is a reference to it like if it was a canon game in mgs4 and I also find this on the Wikipedia page of portable ops: "Kojima also claimed that MPO was a necessary component to the story of MGS4, to the extent that he refused to finalize the story for MGS4 until after the story for MPO was finalized"
Even if later he changed his mind MPO still have a lot of interesting things like Big boss saying no to America for the 1st time when CIA told him to go in the chooper, relation with Grey Fox and Gene giving the idea and money for outer heaven (I know peace Walker acts like he didn't get the money but I believe Big Boss refused to use his money but then later changed his mind and used it for Zanzibar after ground zeros)

yeah well i personally don't care what you think

Unlikely MGS4 will be there. This port requires hell of a work and Konami tries to release these games cheap as possible with minimal efforts.
A HIDEO KONAMI GAME.

I don't think it will be that hard because the reason why it was only on the ps3 was because of the fact the xbox 360 didn't have a blueray disk reader and blueray have more memory mgs4 runed well on the 360 but it needed multiple disk because a regular DVD disk only stored 8.3gb a bluray 54gb which means 7 disks would have been neded to run the game.

So unless there is something i am unaware it will very likely be on the next collection

Keep in mind PS3 and Xbox 360 are not x86 platforms, like current gen consoles. Do you aware how many years it took to make PS3\Xbox 360 era games to work with PC emulators? And still, these games require a good PC, despite the fact they still have performance issues and graphical artifact or glithes which emulators devs always fixing and succeded in this not so long ago, to be honest. My point is - in MGS4 case they can't simply use PC raw power like with Vol 1. very old games. They have to make full production game port or make some kind of build in working emulator (which is good enough for commercial use). I'm not even sure if Konami even have PS3 porting specialists anymore or any of them around at all.

P.S. And nobody will be surprised if I tell you Konami it's a very greedy company.

The hope is always for sure Twin Snakes HD and MGS4 finally free of its PS3 prison. Anything else to me is a bonus. Itd be nice to include stuff like the AC!D games and Ghost Babel to though. 4 and Twin Snakes are the only must haves for volume 2.

Portable Ops was always canon. Its just a non essential game really. Also wasnt written or directed by Kojima.

Yes but that version is likely lost media now, they would only have the PS3 version and that is a piece of ♥♥♥♥ to work with. We can only hope Konami would take the effort to properly port it instead of forgetting about the only game that is inaccessible (without really PS3 emulation which can be a nightmare)
