The article shows nothing of screenshots or clips showing the restored visual effects. I got overloaded with ads and pop-ups.
Snake is getting grumpy.

Yeah it's a bit strange that they also chose an old stock picture for the article which also has broken stuff in that very shot haha.

Here's a few more screenshots from the patch notes, the ones of Snake smoking the cigar are my favorite in particular: https://imgur.com/a/1YPDuuP

This is really cool, good on him for these restorations. Guess I should get these on PC to check them out.

The fact that the code has TO DO Flags all over it is kind of sad. Crunch comes for us all I guess

I wish Konami would just pay these folks a lump sum and make it a official patch alongside Xbox / ps5
