We do not love the Steel Gear Strong: Grasp Assortment round these components, however when you do not need to run your unique PlayStation copies via an emulator, it is the one recreation on the town on PC. Fortunately, modders have come to the rescue.
We beforehand reported on how Sergeanur cranked out their MGSResolution patch a mere 10 hours after the Grasp Assortment unlocked on Steam. On October 29, Sergeanur mounted the UI and codec bugs their mod launched in MGS2, resolving one in every of our main preliminary points with it.
If you wish to play the Grasp Assortment in ultrawide or different customized resolutions, you are in luck. As reported by GamingOnLinux, the MGSHDFix by Lyall, emoose, ShizCalev, and yoyossef affords ultrawide assist (with the minimal compromise of some UI stretching). In whole, MGSHDFix affords:
- Customized decision/ultrawide assist.
- Experimental 16:9 HUD choice that resizes HUD/films (MGS2/MGS3).
- Borderless/windowed mode.
- Mouse cursor toggle.
- Mouse sensitivity adjustment (MGS3).
- Appropriate gameplay/cutscene facet ratio (MGS2/MGS3).
- Skip intro logos (MGS2/MGS3).
- Adjustable anisotropic filtering (MGS2/MGS3).
- Elevated texture dimension limits. (MG1/MG2/MGS3)
Steel Gear Strong 1, in the meantime, stays caught in its unique PS1 4:3 facet ratio and 240p decision, because it appears to run via PS1 emulation, versus natively like MGS2 and three within the assortment. MGS1 solely will get worse when you use a non-US or Japanese language pack, which is able to bafflingly lock the sport to the 50hz, 25fps PAL normal—absolute loss of life on a 60hz show.
You by no means need to devolve into the mockingly lazy behavior of “lazy devs” finger wagging, however I completely query writer Konami’s determination making and useful resource allocation on the Grasp Assortment if modders are fixing it this shortly. It additionally makes it tough to drum up pleasure for Steel Gear Strong Delta: Snake Eater, the MGS3 full remake. My colleague, Wealthy Stanton, dug the preliminary footage, however I simply have a pit in my abdomen over the entire deal.
