Hopefully they hire someone compitent this time who can reverse engineer the original PS1/PS2 code. The SH HD Collection and the recent Metal Gear Solid Master Collection both turned out terribly.
Konami famously lost the original source code for the original Silent Hill games, which is a big reason why the HD Collection turned out so terribly, along with hiring Hijinx, who was an unproven development company.
Historically, Konami has shown that they care more about money rather than art. I don’t trust their efforts are going to be any better this time around.
Also, I’m pretty sure PS4 and PS5 both have PS1 and PS2 emulators included in their OS, so they could just release the original versions on those consoles if they so chose. It would leave out Xbox and PC users, though (although PC users can already play these games in HD with emulation and/or fan-made mods to the PC versions).
It includes a shitty PS1 emulator compared to unofficial PS1 emulation, and they took the Bluepoint HD Collection and directly ported it without any new options, not even the option to render at a higher resolution.
Just lazy, more than anything else. With the PC version specifically, fans made quite a few improvements to it with mods very shortly after it was released. The fact that Konami couldn’t implement these same improvements to begin with is just sad.

I’m OOTL, what’s wrong with the new MGS re-release? I played MGS3 a couple of years ago on Xbox1, and it was okay.
