Our Master Collection playthrough notes and a clarification on Rocket Studio

After finishing MGS3 in Master Collection Vol. 1 and starting a full MGS1 playthrough, we shared an early note on the studios involved and the questions we still had about ongoing updates.

Crazy busy weekend, but I managed to complete MGS3 MCV1, and I started a complete play through into MGS1 MCV1. From what we can tell, two specific devs were involved in the ports of these games. Rocket Studio, and M2. M2 having done the MGS(1) port. I'm not familiar with either of these studio's, furthermore I'm not sure if they are in fact doing the updates to these games or if Konami have taken over. Hopefully we get more information soon.

A clarification from the follow-up discussion

The discussion distinguished the Japanese Rocket Studio, Inc. from another similarly named studio. Our original wording used a shortened name; it was not intended to identify a different company.

After looking at the company’s client listing, we added:

Ah I see. Yeah they even list Konami as one of their clients on their web site.

Our uncertainty about who was handling updates is preserved as part of the original discussion, rather than a confirmed statement about the support arrangements.
