"The original PC port of MGS can be upscaled with fan fixes, I managed to get it to 4K.

While the latest release of MGS in the Master Collection only renders at 240p."

If comparing is "dumb" What do u call the inaction of spending a few hours to apply some aliasing in the surfaces, putting resolution options, or even slightly better rendered textures?

It took mere hours to modders do that to MGS3, imagine how easier would be to a older game like MGS1.

Well most negative reviews talk about the lousy emulation and lack of options. It is about personal preference, but I'm sure most people would take the left image.

I'm not saying no to options, I'm just saying this comparison to me is dumb because original looks better as it captures the feel of the game as it's supposed to. Smooth=/=better in my eyes.

Twin Snakes failed because of many variables such as the cringe cutscenes and the more modern gameplay making the game too easy.

A simple upscale is just that, people should have options. They did just patch in widescreen and screen filtering options in their official emulator. There's no excuse for there to not be any upscaling setting.

Personally removing the pixelation makes the game worse looking, as it's still low texture, just smooth, it's what Twin Snakes did and failed with.

You got the big upscale

That Master collection is a joke.
