Pressure Sensitivity restored to Master Collection?

I cannot confirm this personally, please do not download without doing due diligence with antivirus and so on.  




But if so, this is a monumental achievement!

Honestly, with how long ago I played the OGs. I completely forgot there was pressure sensitivity. Beat through the collection with no issues however, but it is nice there is a solution for people who want the sensitivity back.

I've mainly played the games on PS2 so it has always felt weird to not have it when I try to play any of the ports. Why have no consoles since that generation really done pressure sensitivity? Was it seen as a fad or something?

It does seem strange that the PS3 was the last (and even then, I suspect it was retained mostly for the sake of PS2 backwards compatibility before it got removed).  Both the PS2 and XBOX had pressure-sensitive everything.  The Gamecube settled for just two of the shoulder buttons.  Subsequent generations followed the 'cube's setup in that way and I really don't know why. That said... how many non-MGS games made use of pressure sensitive face buttons?  Some driving games (GTA included) used it for acceleration... I want to say Spider-Man 2's jump button also worked that way.  

It's a super cool feature, but I'm not sure if many developers, if any, took advantage of it.  I still think it feels wrong for driving games to use right triggers for acceleration.  It's supposed to be A/X, darn it.  Anyway, I'd rather have more pressure sensitivity and less motion controls.  I like the feeling of empowering my thumbs rather than being asked to flail around.

IIRC few games used the pressure sensitivy with the face buttons, so Sony decided to cut costs* by removing it from the DualShock 4 / Dual Sense.

*It works with small rubber elements under the buttons.
