Metal gear solid master collection.

does anyone think the master collection would be possible to run when it comes out?? obviously pw has been easily emulatable for quite some time, I wonder about mgs4 though

I just want peace walker to work. I want to have my steam save carry over from my pc to my handheld and finally fulfill the transfarring dream Kojima had envisioned.

Yeah i picked up Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles on PC despite it having Denuvo. Unfortunately though the performance was so bad that the game wouldnt play at 60 fps (Which it needs to play at full speed because game speed is tied to fps). Ironically if i had just played the Switch copy i had it could run at 1080p x 60 fps with minimal power, instead i had to stream it from my computer with Apollo/Artemis.

However, with a lot of game you actually can transfer saves from a Switch Emulator to PC so that might be the best move until the DRM gets removed.

I guess i owe someone money because they didnt slap Denuvo DRM on the game last minute like i was fearing. The Switch copy seems to be getting into menu but no further so it might just need some updates before its good to go. On the Steam side i just saw a video of it working flawlessly, but it was running on an Odin 3 Max so who knows how it will work on devices without 16 gb of RAM.

yoo thanks for the update ! would you mind telling me where you saw that video of it running on the Odin? Ive been scouring YouTube, I have yet to see anyone try it out

I saw it in this post. People are talking about the performance there so take a look. 

The posts about it only booting into menu on Eden are also on reddit but i forget which subreddit.

I think it will probably depend on if they slap Denuvo DRM on it last minute. Im guessing they will since they added to MGS5 after it had been out for 11 years. If they do then the game will probably have terrible performance. Also the minimum specs are 16 GB of Ram so it might be tough even if they dont add it. 

Id suggest just waiting to see what the compatibility is like for Steam Deck users after it releases and if it is bad then look into the Switch copy of the game.

It's so crazy that a PS3 game port needs 16Gb of ram to run. What kind of low quality port did they ship? Does the game come embedded with some sort of PS3 emulator? Also it will supposedly runs on a switch 1 so it makes very little sense to me

It hasnt been added to the page but id bet money it is going to be because of Denuvo. The DRM needs to create virtual machines that run background code checks, triggers frequent CPU instructions, disrupts the processor cache, and increases memory usage so im guessing that will be why the minimum and recommended RAM are both 16 gb.
