Description:
It only took around ten hours for a community modder to create an

on PC.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

We were big fans of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 in our 
review , mainly thanks to the enduring excellence of the included games. Its 
no surprise that packing the brilliant Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty 
and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (alongside Metal Gear Solid and the 
original NES Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake ) into a single package 
is a recipe for success. 

Even so, we were a little underwhelmed by the collections barebones 
presentation, which does very little to improve on the games aging visuals. 
Despite Konamis insistence that several of the included games run at 1080p , 
players have recently discovered that both MGS 2 and MGS 3 are actually 
displayed at a pretty blurry 720p resolution. Worse still, there appears to 
be absolutely no option to change it in the games' settings. 

While this isnt particularly noticeable on smaller displays, the loss of 
quality is quite stark when you are playing on a larger screen or gaming TV . 
While there might be an official patch to rectify this in future, the modding 
community has come to the rescue, and it only took around ten hours for 
Github user Sergeanur to create an experimental resolution mod for PC. 

Dubbed the MGSResolutionPatch, this mod allows the Steam versions of MGS 2 
and MGS 3 to be played not only at 1080p, but a variety of resolutions that 
can be wholly customized through a new config file. This includes support for 
2160p (4K), helping the games look extra crisp and clean on larger displays. 

You can currently download the mod via the modders Github page but, as is the 
case with all unofficial mods, be aware that you are doing so at your own 
risk.

series first true stealth game . For more general recommendations, check out
