This texture pack for the 2023 PC Master Collection version of Metal Gear Solid 2 fully restores all the game's textures back to their pre-2011 HD Collection / 2003 Substance versions, reverting Bluepoint's "remastering", which in many cases was simply Bluepoint lazily running the game's textures through Sony PCL's Real Scaling for HD anime upscaler and calling it a day. (Source on Bluepoint's upscaler)

A Sons of Liberty version will be released at a later date! (Some areas, such as the Shell 1 Core B2 Computer Room, were fairly heavily retextured between 2001 Sons of Liberty -> 2002/2003 Substance.)


Optional AI Upscaled versions are also available, in some cases the results actually come out better than Bluepoint's upscaling, funnily enough.



PS2 UI elements, and actual in-world textures are seperated into different downloads for people who want to selectively demaster their game elements. ♥
