MGS2 HD source code leaked

I don't think this will amount to anything more than a novelty. There are already ports (2) for PC and practically every console released since the PS2. Besides, creating a port based on leaked code would be illegal.
 
Finally got the thing working, lots of build scripts needed work, region hacking, windows stubs which needed conversion / implementation, proper code pages used for execution charset. Works pretty well although it needs some love to make it a better experience on PC. Not sure why they didn't make a PC port of the HD collection seeing as its ready right here to go.

Look at what just got restored



Edit: Fake


Heh, yeah, funny way to fake people out.

What was actually restored was the "flooding water" effect seen in the E3 trailer but frustratingly not included in the real game, in either playable or cutscene form.



What we all imagined was going to be a really cool sequence of escaping the flooding tanker, with a wall of water and a rapidly descending play field sinking into the ocean (and maybe if they had time Kojima's team might have intended to do it?) was actually just a splashing effect repeated from different angles to hint at the rushing water which never came. There wasn't even sound effects attached to the effects of this triggered event, it was apparently just a trailer moment which never got fully developed into a gameplay or cinematic experience.

Still though, cool to see in realtime all these years later.
