Yesterday, Konami announced that Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will release on PC on October 24th. However, it appears that this collection requires a controller, and it won’t officially support keyboard and mouse.
Konami launched – and then took down – the official Steam store page of the collection. And as the Steam page states.
“Notice: METAL GEAR SOLID – Master Collection Version requires a controller in order to play. Playing with a keyboard and mouse isn’t supported.”
My guess is that the first two games will still be playable with a keyboard and mouse. I mean, both of the original versions of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 support K&M. So yeah, I don’t think Konami has completely removed support for it. Or I could be wrong. Anyway, K&M players will have to rely on mods in order to enjoy the game (if the collection is friendly to modders). That, or they’ll have to get a controller.
To Konami’s credit, they did list this on the Steam page. Other companies have not done this, so kudos to them for at least letting PC gamers know about it.
This collection will feature the first three main parts of the MGS franchise (as well as Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and the NES versions of Metal Gear and 1990’s Snake’s Revenge).
Stay tuned for more!
