We got some new details on the upcoming remaster of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in Master Collection Vol. 2
Here are the highlights:
- Targets 4K 60FPS on PS5
- Textures have all been upscaled and look way clearer, especially text. The HUD is also in 4K now rather than 720p
- the iPod and PlayBoy magazines both make a return, and keep their original functionality
- New control scheme, uses triggers now for aiming and shooting
- Since original MGS4 relied heavily on the PS3 controller’s pressure sensitive buttons, the control scheme has had a significant overhaul to make the game work without this
- There’s a new load save menu as its no longer tied to the PS3 hardware menu
- Loading seems to be near instant now
- There’s a new “Back to Main Menu” option in the menu, likely taking you back to the launcher to pick between MGS4 and Peacewalker
- There may be new dialogue to explain the new control scheme, fingers crossed the OG voice actors returned for this and hopefully even remade the “We are on a PS3!” Otacon call to work with all the new platforms
MGS Master Collection Vol 2 is just around the corner, releasing on August 29th
Still feels hard to believe that MGS4 will be freed from the PS3 and playable everywhere, they seem to be making all the right changes and updates so fingers crossed it ends up the definitive version of MGS4
California State Assembly passes the 'Protect Our Games Act'

To make 100% sure full stop you are ready for savage raiding in FFXIV now is the best time.
All 7 extremes that lead up to the Dawntrail EX series mount are in game now and can be farmed by drop rate or 99 currency from the fight.
I say this because the fights themselves are still kinda "current" meaning you cant unsync them but you can out gear some of them. IE: skip some mechanics and eat damage without too much mitigation.
You can challange yourself with the fight's dfficulty to build your mettle and temperment while also allowing yourself to get rewarded for it.
You will learn farming, markers, party communication, how to study guides, what guides to study, co-healing co-tanking, optimization, enrage, player skill dispairity, party finder dynamics, personal responsibility, and most important: get a good feel for when to shut your brain off or turn it on.
If you get the Wings of Legacy you will be ready.
Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
Did y’all know Drake’s find your love was originally for Rihanna… Written by Kanye West, Rih & No I.D (Kanye’s earliest mentors) Drake heard Rihanna’s version that she recorded & wanted it for himself so he got it.
Same in Atlanta.
For example: MJQ (our fave rave spot for decades) had this huge relocation to Underground. A big goodbye party and all-a that. We thought the old place was being torn down or something but they literally just ended up replacing it with another…club? Like wtf😂
