I never touched a MGS game until MGS4 idk how the others was but MGS4 was 1 of the most unique and top games out on the PS3. If i had to make a top 5 list MGS4 would be in there somewhere.
Just having MGS in HD would be incredible. Hands down my favorite part of MGS4 was the return to Shadow Moses. It's the best game in the series and I would love to go through it again with an updated engine and sound. Hopefully they'll make them all 3rd person instead of being stuck to the overhead camera.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
True, even though Metal Gear Solid 2 gets alot of hate, I thought it was pretty good, especially with all of the funny easter eggs (Solid Snake locker room poster message with Hal, Olga after the first fight, Fission Mailed lol ).
Agreed. And who knows - if this becomes true, and they do release Subsistence, maybe Konami will re-open the servers for MGO (the original). I hated when they shut down the servers at that time.
Yep, they're the best version. Though in Subsistence The End was easier to kill since you can see the foot prints, the lens flare, the parrot, the ZZZ, etc so much easier.
mgs 2 is the best in the series i loved that game and the detail they went into was amazing i remember u could knock over an ice bucket and watch the ice melt i would pay for an hd version and this year i really want a halo ce remake.
This would actually be good for me. My 60GB PS3 just YLOD'ed for the second time. Enough's enough, getting a Slim PS3. But my favorite game ever's MGS3 so I won't be able to play it. But if this happens then it won't really be a problem.
“The God of War Collection had reached almost a million copies sold just after the holiday. Shortly aftter that Activision, EA , UbiSoft, Konami, and SquareEnix were all on board to issue ReMastered Edition of their best Playstation 2 Games.”
“The industry's best developers are ReMastering their best games. Prince of Persia, Shadow of Colossus, and ICO are just the beginning. When fans see what Konami's doing to the Metal Gear series, and what Square's doing with Final Fantasy, they're going to be very happy.”
Can't wait for all the remastered games! First god of war then Ico and sotc and now MGS, hope they announce remastered editions of FF and other good oldies!
i loved MGS1 back in the day, but i find it pretty much unplayable now with those ugly graphics, i can only hope they update the graphics like the gamecube version.
i have the original for ps2 and i am a huge HD collection fan so this will be a day one but maybe 2012. 2011 is already gonna take a lot of money but i will happily pay to have this in HD
kojima how about a surprise MGS4 trophy update too
Oh my.. If this is another 2011 release, well lets just say Ms are gonna sigh loudly with this announcement.. Another great set of exclusives to the PS brand. MS does Halo remake and Sony does MGS remake. That's gonna be a HOT, HOT battle.
I think MGS3 subsistence had a behind the shoulder view, but it would be nice to have for MGS1 and 2. Or at least have a first person view for MGS1 for all weapons.
MGS3 didn't have the over the shoulder view, but it was the first to have a fully 3D camera (introduced in the expansion, Subsistence). Implementing it would be a bad idea, because they're not designed for it. Just look at The Twin Snakes, a remake of the original using MGS2's new gameplay mechanics. Some boss fights, like The Revolver Ocelot one, became piss easy due to the gameplay not being adjusted to accomodate the new mechanics.
I say this because, as it has been mentioned in earlier comments, the over the shoulder view in Twin Snakes diluted some of the challenge for MGS1 because the original game was designed with over head perspective in mind. Meaning I was only referring to the viewpoint/perspective of Twin Snakes vs MGS1 in my previous comment. The graphics for Twin Snakes, on the other hand, I'm perfectly fine with Konami giving an HD makeover.
I missed a number of MGS titles from being in the military and deploying a lot. Did get to play the original on NES and the first one to come to the original PS1. Would love to pick up the collection if true.
Will this be the first of the metal gears with trophy support? Hope so, because I am still waiting to justify beating the game( mgs4) on big boss somehow.
Does twin snakes stack up well with the playstation original? Because if so, I think I would want that in HD instead of the old one. Just asking.
I hope this is true, the reason I never got MGS4 is that I've never played the other games before. The story seems to confusing to just read it off the internet
Of course it is coming... now that backwards compatibility is gone they can sell you the old games and make it feel "worthwhile" up doing an HD upgrade...
I love the HD remakes. I hope to see more in the future. I also have a fully backward compatible PS3. They don't have to make anything "seem" worthwhile. They are worthwhile, at least for me.
Wouldn't it be just the PS2 MGS games? If so then wouldn't that eliminate Metal Gear Solid? I doubt this is true at all and more a case of wishful thinking.
I guess they could do that Thom. Wonder if porting Gamecube code to PS3 code would be harder, easier or the same as porting PS2 coding. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
@Ocelot525 Why would that make it easier? The PS3 architecture is about as far from a PC you can get while the PS2 and PS3 actually share slightly similar design in their CPU's.
the PS3's vector processors are very different from PC CPU's but the main proccessing unit is not so special(powerPC architecture, same basic instruction set as the GC,wii,360 and PowerPC based macs). Also the GPU is just the same as one of a PC(based on the nvidia G7900/7800)
It's very likely they won't use the vector processors(aka SPU's) in the MGS collection. The main processor(without SPU's) + GPU is sufficient to run MGS trilogy HD in 1080p@60FPS,4xAA,4xAF with updated textures and better mipmapping. The orange box which had much better graphics than the mgs games also didn't use the SPU's(the framedrops are due to memory leaks, and generally bad and quick coding)
The difficulty of porting is also largely based on the code itself. Games completely written in assembler are VERY difficult to port, this is why some PS2 games will prob. never have a second life on the PS3. Games completely written in C however are much easier to port(cf. GoW collection)
This would be very interesting if it proves to be true. I say this because if you look back about two months or so ago, there was an article posted on a site that was claiming they had an interview with a Sony associate, and in the article where they were discussing backward compatibility and issues pertaining to that (which ultimately lead to the discussion of the HD collections), the Sony rep mentioned something along the lines of "...fans will be really interested in what they're working with for the Metal Gear and Final Fantasy franchises". So provided that this turns true, it may very well give reason to believe that the article was indeed legitimate, and that there should be a Final Fantasy HD Collection in the works as well. That would be quite interesting to see.
PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE !
Edit: You really are missing out by the way!
MGS1 and MGS3 are the best in the series
http://i53.tinypic.com/bh6p...
on a single disc? I have twin snakes on GC, substance on xbox and never played #3. Be nice to get them all on one bluray.
until MGS4 idk how the others was but MGS4 was 1 of the most unique and top games out on the PS3. If i had to make a top 5 list MGS4 would be in there somewhere.
Its the type of game that requires a lot of time investment and once you get it its the best there is.
and is begging for MGS4 tropy patch too much?
Well I own a GBC, Snes, N64, and a GC but never played a Kirby game and never played a Zelda game longer than 5 minutes.
.
And next one is...
[Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII Collection].
And
[Devil May Cry Trilogy Collection]
With
[Onimusha Trilogy & Dawn Of Dreams Collection].
(Actually, I've only played MGS1...On PC...)
You hear me Konami?
On topic:
I just want the first MGS reworked and I'm good. The other three are just icing on the cake for me.
Hopefully the price is right though....
Now if they could only patch in Trophies into MGS4!
...faint...is it here yet??
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater WOOOO!
So WOOOO indeed.

FF X, X-2 and XII.
hope it becomes a reality in the near future
Yes they were multi-console releases but everyone knows they became legendary on PS. I only speak the truth. Plus the xbox versions were sub par.
Now I dont have to buy 3DS to replay MGS 3!
And now THIS, awesome, definitely the PS3 version !
An unforgettable classic.
i loved that game and the detail they went into was amazing i remember u could knock over an ice bucket and watch the ice melt i would pay for an hd version and this year i really want a halo ce remake.
Pity me guys, I just started LBP2 too.

kojima how about a surprise MGS4 trophy update too
I bought so many metal gears.
Please let go of me already.
Please.
Pretty please.
°_°
MORE IMPORTANTLY: all i and everyone else ask is MGS4 TROPHIES!
I hope they would leave MGS1 in its current view. We don't need an HD version of Twin Snakes.
i'd pay 201.00 for that.
kojima: deal
*chops of hands, receives mgs collection
I get home, boot up PS3, and realizes I can't play without hands... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
!
Does twin snakes stack up well with the playstation original? Because if so, I think I would want that in HD instead of the old one. Just asking.
I am talking a full blown big budget remake with ps3 graphics and the works.
It was out of that money or the Evil Money from family guy :)
I'd pay x cash for it.
Still i'd settle with the solid trilogy in hd .
But Peace Walker on the other hand was game that every MGS fan should get to play.
Epic action even for a PSP title...
Snake Eater in HD <3
PS2 games look like garbage on PS3 anyway. Even when upscaled, they're still a jaggy, low-res mess.
HD collections are great and there should be more.
I AM GOING TO BUY THIS!!!!BOUGHT GOW COLLECTION AND WILL ALSO BUY ICO/SOTC BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT

easier, the camecube was(altough more powerful) much closer to PC hardware than the PS2
