Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on Gamecube: Part 4 (RetroTINK 5x-Pro + mClassic 1440p)
0I had mixed feelings about this one.... was it good in a technical sense? Yes, it was very well made. It looks good, plays smooth and brings the original up to par with MGS2's gameplay mechanics which are my favorite of the series. But I agree with the sentiment that they should have played it more straight, been more faithful to the source material. Its essentially the same game but its wayyy oversaturated and the original soundtrack was perfect, why ruin it with crappy and derivative generic techno. The voice acting is also markedly worse. All of the resources are here to make this a classic version of a masterpiece but they diverted away from what made the original so great: the atmosphere and style. It was an interesting trip, but most of the time it made me just want to play the original...
All original games, no emulators. Please like, subscribe and thanks for watching!
Watch in 1440p for true quality!
Note: I know my longplays are longer than many on Youtube. This is because I play most of these games blind or have not played them in many years. This channel is more of a tech demo channel and not to be seen as the cleanest way to play through a game.
