The question at hand really shouldn't be what happened to MGS, but rather what happened to Konami?
Konami released jack and shit for about a decade. Who ever was in charge was sitting on their ass just spinning their wheels. I'm pretty sure whoever is in charge at Konami had to have been replaced relatively recently, because Konami actually hasn't been doing that bad as of recent years.
They might not be doing the most impressive things right now, but they have been re-releasing games people actually like.
Vol.1 of the MGS collection released in a subpar state, but they've actually fixed it and improved it. That's more than could be said for a ton of collections released over the years. Silent Hill 2 and the MGS3 Remake might be Incredibly safe bets, but they are actually things some people want to buy. Contra Operation Galuga is actually a solid enough Contra game, even if it being a Re-imagining of Contra 1 is also a safe bet.
The Konami of 6-7 years ago released Metal Gear Survive, and Contra Rouge Corps, two games were it should have been obivous from their Inception that they were gonna flop simply based on the premise of. And I say that someone who kind of likes Survive, you got to be a moron to think that was a smart game to release after Kojima left Konami, there is nothing that says Cash grab more then Zombie Survival game. I think whoever is running the show at Konami now, has to be less retarded then whoever was there 10 years ago.

The majority of the work on Peace Walker HD was already done in 2011, all they have to do is do a few touch ups like increasing the resolution, so that's going to be in Vol.2 for sure.
Metal Gear Solid 4 HAS to be in Vol.2 otherwise they don't have any reason for people to buy it, nobody is going to buy that collection just for Peace Walker. The only real question is if MGS4 will have MG Online up and running. I think there is a fair chance that it will, given that's about half of MGS4's content, and Peace Walker also heavily relies on online play.
