Steve of GAMElitist.com - "Jet Set Radio. Shadow of the Colossus. ICO. Metal Gear Solid. All of these games are unmistakably excellent titles. Most were released to spectacular reception, and remembered by many as fantastic experiences. And that is the key word here; remembered. Past tense. One of the main gripes I have with HD remakes/collections, whatever you want to name them, is that they are re-releases of games that were enjoyed years ago."
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launched in 2011, and is still the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ahead of the remake.
Can’t wait to one day break that game out of the collection vault
Currently playing Snake Eater HD on CRT 16:9, via Scart RGB. Game looks great but not as clean as MGS2, but thats due to the setting. Can't wait for the remake + the next HD collection on PS5.
Months after they were removed from sale, a number of Metal Gear Solid games have yet to return to the PlayStation and Xbox stores.
Konami's too busy with their Pachinko machines to worry over silly little things like this.
Konami will temporarily remove Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 from digital storefronts starting November 8 as it works to renew the licenses for select historical archive footage used in each game, the company announced.
To be honest, I’m surprised Konami are even considering re-listing this given how they’ve abandoned their franchises and fans.
Maybe temporarily will become permanently.
Just started MGS 3 over the weekend.
Wouldn't have affected me since I bought the collection a long time ago.
I'm more interested in the fact that they have to re-license historical footage constantly. At what point is it not worth it anymore? I can't imagine a lot of people are buying MGS Collection.
How to get engaged with 2s story ? , can't get through the ship without quiting the game literally since forever.
I don't see how.
They don't just "re-release" them, they have updated visuals, trophies and a discounted price, how is this even remotely a bad thing?
I love the idea. If you don't, go play the original on the ps2 and shut up about it.
Not everyone had a ps2 . These HD remakes are great for those of us that never played them.
I only get the ones on disc. The ones for download don't really matter to me.
Enough with Remakes Plz
I just wish were mastered in 1080p, not 720p.
