I ran a bunch of graphics comparisons - they are almost identical in appearance, although PS5 apparently runs high rez that doesn't really make much difference. The portability of the Switch 2 version seems like a no brainer. Thoughts?

same. I watched detailed graphical comparisons of Switch 2 and PS5 and the original PS3 version and the PS5 version looks virtually the same to the Switch 2.
Just imagine playing MGS2 at the Beach (in view of a distant oil rig!), or playing the MGS3 final fight on a subway (with quick resume/sleep mode whenever you need to pause.

My PS3 is hooked up to the same TV as my Switch 2. There’s basically no reason to get this. Unless they give us some deep cuts like The Document of MGS2 or arsenal gear running into manhattan, I see no reason to get it.
Btw certain aspects of MGS4 are underrated because of the sheer amount of cinematic content and sleep-inducing Plane scenes drown them out. Like the B&B Corps are awesome af.
The world record speed run is like 1 hour longer than MGS1. Sooooo little gameplay imo
PS5 version if it comes down to it would have Trophies but I already got that Boss emblem iirc

LMAO I have the exact same setup and still own MGS4 and the original MGS HD Collection that came out years ago (with MGS2, 3, and Peace Walker. Plus a copy of MGS1 which can be played on the PS3 (which was backward compatible with PS1 discs).
MGS4 is the least replayable by far, even if its controls are "better" than MGS1. It's just a long fucking movie and the plot is utterly insane, even for Metal Gear.

If you skip the cutscenes of MGS4 and just play it, it’s ridiculous. It’s like a Tiny Island of Gameplay. Act 1 is decent. Act 2-4 get so short when you know what you’re doing. Act 5 is One Room.
But the premise of War doesn’t really work either… like you can’t just be One Guy sneaking around when there also happens to be a Shooting War happening. Like how and why would that ever be possible? Even if you’re good at Crawling you’d just get hit with artillery or Shrapnel lol
