PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE !

Kurisu4837d ago

Is it bad that I've owned a PS1, 2, 3 and PSP but never touched an MGS title? If this is true I think I may take a dive...

RedDead4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

Yes...yes that is quite bad. Some of the best games around.

zootang4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

Not bad but very strange?! I've been hoping for this for a while now, this and MGS4 trophy support.

Edit: You really are missing out by the way!

captain-obvious4837d ago

count me in
MGS1 and MGS3 are the best in the series

UnwanteDreamz4837d ago

This would almost make up for no trophy support in part 4. My trophy list is missing a MGS title. Please be true!

ksense4837d ago

O god cannot wait to play 1 and 3 in high def!!!!

darthv724837d ago

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.

solidt124837d ago

yep real bad. I already have the old MGS collection with the first three. I guess Ill be getting this one too.

gaffyh4837d ago

This would be an amazing collection to get, even though I've played all the games. Would love to replay them.

thehitman4837d ago

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.

NateCole4837d ago

It depends on the time of gamer you are. If you like a complex spy/thriller action drama story then you owe it to yourself to invest time in MGS.

Its the type of game that requires a lot of time investment and once you get it its the best there is.

I_find_it_funny4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

i'm crying now

and is begging for MGS4 tropy patch too much?

IcarusOne4837d ago

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.

AntoineDcoolette4837d ago

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.

Cloudberry4837d ago

.
And next one is...

[Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII Collection].

And

[Devil May Cry Trilogy Collection]

With

[Onimusha Trilogy & Dawn Of Dreams Collection].

TheDeadMetalhead4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

It's bad and you should feel bad.

(Actually, I've only played MGS1...On PC...)

rockleex4837d ago

They could just use the Shadow Moses from MGS4 for MGS1 in this HD collection!!! :D

DORMIN4837d ago

Lets put it this way, IF THEY DONT MAKE ONE THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!!!

You hear me Konami?

ThanatosDMC4837d ago

I dont care about the first two but MGS3 HD would be awesome!

Natsu894837d ago

I want a quadrologie with all 4 games in FULL HD and trophies! This would be a ULTIMATE MEGA EDITION and of course day ONE!

BattleAxe4837d ago

I bought MGS 1,2 and 3 for PS2, and I'll buy them again for PS3 no questions asked!

Ares84PS34837d ago

That's pretty bad Kurisu!

On topic:

I just want the first MGS reworked and I'm good. The other three are just icing on the cake for me.

gamingdroid4836d ago (Edited 4836d ago )

I'm really looking forward to A MGS Trilogy HD for the PS3!

Hopefully the price is right though....

Now if they could only patch in Trophies into MGS4!

This is the Real Treat for fans. One of Console war ending moves by sony.

Dante1124837d ago

Metal Gear Solid: WOOOO!

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater WOOOO!

galgor4837d ago

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Dante1124837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

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 ).

So WOOOO indeed.

Man In Black4837d ago

If they do, I hope it's the expansion versions (So Substance with all the extra stuff instead of Sons Of Liberty, Subsistence instead of Snake Eater).

DaReapa4837d ago

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.

TheDeadMetalhead4837d ago

Then it would come with the MSX Metal Gear games as well, right? Awesome.

ThanatosDMC4837d ago

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.

princejb1344837d ago

*cums on the computer screen*

smashman984836d ago

lol lovin the enthusiasm

Eyeco4837d ago

my reaction to reading this

trancefreak4837d ago

Just remastered or reworked to appear like mgs4?

XANDEO4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

i'd be more shocked if they didn''t, i mean its a license to print money same goes with a FF collection, and those are the two i'd want most.

Hozi894837d ago

Agreed! Now all I want to see is a final Fantasy HD collection

FF X, X-2 and XII.

princejb1344836d ago

still waiting on final fantasy 7 remake my brother
hope it becomes a reality in the near future

VenomProject4837d ago

I NEED IT, I WANT IT. I GOTTA HAVE IT.

tehpees34837d ago

lmao and the bots only get rising? HAHA! lolz 360 getting fake MGS. MGS is Solid Snake

UnwanteDreamz4837d ago

Thank you for stirring the shit. We don't have enough of that around here. /s

Man In Black4837d ago

You do realise that the first two games, which had Solid Snake, were multi-plat?

MysticStrummer4837d ago

There always has to be one of these types, from either side, to stir shit up for some reason.

YogiBear4837d ago

@ Man In Black

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.

DarkBlood4837d ago

thebudgetgamer thats still a ps exclusive till it comes out on the 3DS that is lol

Soldierone4837d ago

Saying MGS3 on 3DS is like saying COD or other titles on Wii....lol

Going to buy a PS3 as soon as this get announced :O

Now I dont have to buy 3DS to replay MGS 3!

Natsu894837d ago

TRUE haha, i was in a twist, should i buy a 3DS for MGS 3?
And now THIS, awesome, definitely the PS3 version !

Leio4837d ago

MGS 1 still gives me goosebumps every time I play it :)
An unforgettable classic.

rockleex4837d ago

Gives me even more goosebumps when I go through Shadow Moses in MGS4!

Natsu894837d ago

@rockleex true, the music at that part of the games is pretty awesome too

hennessey864837d ago

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.

ryan_s4837d ago

omg i dont want to die before MGS HD is released

Kurisu4837d ago

I think you've all decided for me then --- if a collection is indeed true then it will be a definite purchase! :D

ReservoirDog3164837d ago

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.

Pity me guys, I just started LBP2 too.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

Sony EU in an interview (2010):

“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.”

Natsu894837d ago

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!

solidsnake2224837d ago

This is all I've ever wanted!!!

ape0074837d ago

oh my god, just imagine the tanker part of mgs 2 in HD

sobekflakmonkey4837d ago

@pedrami91 lol im definitely on the same page as you about this, it would be wicked awesome to see them re-released in HD, i love mgs.

NewZealander4837d ago

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.

showtimefolks4837d ago

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

MechaGear4836d ago (Edited 4836d ago )

Oh no, please don't!
I bought so many metal gears.
Please let go of me already.
Please.
Pretty please.
°_°

Vherostar4836d ago

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.

mega BIG time4836d ago

Dont care already finished em!

MORE IMPORTANTLY: all i and everyone else ask is MGS4 TROPHIES!

ELite_Ghost4837d ago

omg imagine them running on the mgs4 engine!!!

TooTall194837d ago

I hope they give the first 3 a behind-the-shoulder view instead of the original top-down view.

Finalfantasykid4837d ago

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.

Man In Black4837d ago

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.

DaReapa4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

@ TooTall19
I hope they would leave MGS1 in its current view. We don't need an HD version of Twin Snakes.

Natsu894837d ago

Why not? Thats the reason behind a remastering a game! Upgrading the visuals.

DaReapa4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

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.

Der_Kommandant4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

I'll pay $200 bucks for that

Ocelot5254837d ago

I would give my hands 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

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle31d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Raiden Didn't Deserve The Backlash The Character Received

Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.

-Foxtrot76d ago

He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.

Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.

Cacabunga76d ago

i also has mixed feelings about Raiden.. First reason was because I didn't even know he was the main character in the game (I only bought gaming magazines once in a while) and I had a MGS 2 demo in the bunker which was starring Snake.
Second reason I won't say he is uninteresting but just overshadowed by Snake.. the gameplay in the end of the game with the double analog sticks saber slicing was nice and I liked Raiden for that reason (improved in MGS Rising).

Playing with Solid Snake was just a wow moment every time in comparison.. Only Naked Snake could stand against Solid Snake for me..

raWfodog75d ago

He definitely grew on me as the game progressed but I was initially pissed because I was expecting to play as Snake. It was the old bait-and-switch lol.

Becuzisaid76d ago

Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.

shinoff218376d ago

I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days

Juancho5176d ago

I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
