I'm over here in the corner enjoying the metal gear collection on my PS3

Why oh why is MGS4 the only one not on any other system? It can't even be streamed on PS4 or 5. 😩

iirc it's a "fault" of the PS3 architecture which makes it practically impossible to emulate. We'll have to see if the second part of the remastered MSG collection will eventually port it.

Well I don’t see why you couldn’t emulate it on a ps5. People are doing it on pc so I guess it’s more that Sony doesn’t care and don’t want to invest in it.

It’s one side where Microsoft is better than Sony, retrocompatinility.

I’m still playing a lot of ps4 and ps3 games, so I hope my ps3 is gonna stay fit for purpose in the long term 🤞
