On October 24, a compilation bringing together the first five main episodes of the Metal Gear series — Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 : Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty et Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater — will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. Although there will be no noticeable improvement, one change has been spotted. And it should not please the historical creator of the license, Hideo Kojima.

The great return of a cult saga
While this is a simple port — you’ll be able to play these titles in their original rendering — that doesn’t stop fans of the series from expressing their excitement at the prospect of being able to play the game once more. these classic video games. Behind these titles, we obviously find the touch of their creator Hideo Kojima, who never failed to let it be known, right down to the jacket (with the famous “A Hideo Kojima Game“).
However, Konami – the publisher who owns the rights to the license and with whom Kojima got seriously angry – is he ready to assume what represents, whatever people say, a tribute to the creator of the saga? Apparently not completely!
Konami not tender with Kojima
According to information from GamesRadareach time you launch one of the games present on this compilation entitled Metal Gear Solid : Master Collection Vol. 1the following warning message is displayed:
This game contains expressions and themes that may be considered outdated. However, these elements have been included without modification to preserve the historical context in which the game was created and the creator’s original vision. We call for the vigilance of the players.
That is what is said. And even if the author’s vision will be well respected, since no element of the games will be deleted or altered, the presence of this word leaves no room for doubt: Konami is not really comfortable with the writing by Hideo Kojima.
By looking at certain dialogues, in particular those of Metal Gear Solidit must be recognized that the author of Death Stranding (who is now at the helm of Death Stranding 2 planned on PS5) hasn’t really done in subtlety, especially when it comes to depicting the female characters. We particularly remember Naomi Hunter’s advances to our dear Solid Snake (“If you come back in one piece, maybe I’ll let you search me to the bone…“), or even several suggestive and somewhat clumsy comments. We can also come back to thepositive cigarette usewhich solves certain puzzles.
Still, the existence of this message should do nothing to appease relations between Hideo Kojima and his former house.
