Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 is out today on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch2, and Switch. The set carries Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the 2008 PS3 game that finally leaves its original hardware, alongside Peace Walker HD Edition and the Game Boy Color title Metal Gear Ghost Babel.
4Gamer.net marked the release by reading Snake's OctoCamo suit as fashion. The tech captures the surrounding environment and blends the wearer into the scenery, and the piece walks through captured patterns: grassland, leaves, tree bark, and ground surface. Each pattern shifts with the capture location, so the same category can read differently. The note on Old Snake, whose rapid aging shows in his physique, is that the contrast between the worn soldier and the latest techwear is exactly what brings out his appeal.
- Grassland: the iconic camouflage design that changes expression with the shape of the captured plants
- Leaves: a dense leaf print from city hedges that softens Snake's visible muscles
- Tree bark: a scaly, three-dimensional texture from tropical plant trunks that pairs well with the suit
- Ground surface: a subdued pattern where gravel and sandy roads give sand beige tones
