The three RE games have been spectacular releases on GOG. And for 1 and 3 they are now my default go-to versions to play. But RE2 has an issue that will keep me playing the PSX version (for now at least) When RE2 was released on Gamecube, the background images were higher quality than one the original PSX with less compression artifacting. These Gamecube backgrounds are the ones used in the GOG release. The problem with them is that every one of them has been brightenedand colorshifted towards red hues. If you start a game and run over to the gun shop exterior to can see it clear as day. The sky in the top right should be black, but instead is red. I screencaptured all three versions and made this comparison to show what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/xkOT9SI If this doesn't bug you, then this port will just as solid as 1 & 3 and you'll have a great time. Personally I'm hoping they'll swap the PSX backgrounds into the game.
Thankfully, this isn't the NES version of Metal Gear. It appears to be built based on the properly translated version of the original MSX game. There are a couple of issues that need a little TLC, however. There are issues with sound effects that will be very jarring to people who have played the original version (even the NES port) And this is despite the correct sound effects being in .WAV form among the game install files. There is also no built-in way to map movement to the D-pad of a controller. Playing 2D games like this with an analog stick just kills any sense of responsiveness, requiring far too much travel to get the same results as a d-pad.
