Slight correction, it's no longer PS3 exclusive and is now listed for 360 as well....

Honestly, while the additional contents are a lot better now, it's a shame they lifted the download code and MGS4 out (probably because of the 360 version) because it would have been a great way to get all the main, Kojima directed, games in the series in one pack.

I also no longer think it's going to be as limited as the original version, sadly.

gamingdroid4530d ago

The PS3 version of MGS HD Collection in the US includes MSG1 download via PSN and the Xbox 360 version does not, is that because of the Xbox 360 too?

It's definitely MS fault! D@mn you!!! /s

PirateThom4530d ago (Edited 4530d ago )

Eh.... where did I say it was Microsoft's fault? I was just speculating that's maybe the reasoning because they've changed the whole package and made it multiplatform and probably didn't want to include two extra games in one version...

Wow, you people are getting more insane by the day, I swear.

I had a feeling someone was going to link that movie. :p

MasterCornholio4530d ago

That's because Kojima expects Microsoft to pay for it.

Lol just kidding.

So the Ultimate Edition is no longer the Ultimate Edition basically, but still at the Ultimate Edition price. Go for it if you're into the t-shirt and art book, don't want MGS1, and want an ugly yellow MGS4 Platinum Hits edition.

No ones forcing you to buy it

DarkBlood4530d ago (Edited 4530d ago )

what you do you mean its included i never got any voucher in the my HD collection game

unless im missing something here?

damn i didnt see lashes2ashes comment there lol

seinfan4530d ago

The Japanese version includes MGS1 without Peacewalker. The US has Peacewalker, but no MGS1.

Christopher4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

@gamingdroid:

US version does not include a download via PSN of MGS1...

gamingdroid4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

My apologies, I thought the US version also included it, but it turns out it was only the Japanese version. Obviously it was also intended on the limited European release.

My point still holds, there is different content on different platform versions. Lack of promised content doesn't mean the other caused it. That's speculation at best.

Urgh, gonna cancel this now. Having all the MGS games in one nice case (plus the MGS download) was worth the extra cash over the normal HD collection. This, not so much.

Omar1st4530d ago

I got an Email from Zavvi today and as I ordered the MGS Ultimate HD collection which was limited to 4000 units and exclusive to the PS3, they will ship out MGS4 along with it. Ive queried about shipping me a voucher code for MGS1 too as it was advertised when I placed the order. It dont really bother me if they turn around and say thay cant, but it'd be nice if they do. All in all, I think this updated collection of contents is better.

The old contents of the Ultimate HD Collection
•MGS HD Collection
•Metal Gear Solid 4
•Metal Gear Solid 1 (PSN Voucher Code)
•5 Art Cards
All exclusively in a steelbook case.

The new collection for those who pre-oredered before.

•Metal Gear Solid HD Game
•Variant Metal Gear Solid Steel Book
•Exclusive Metal Gear Solid T-Shirt
•Exclusive 250 Page Premium Art Book showcasing the Artwork of Yoshi Shinkawa
•Metal Gear Solid 4
(hopefully, if they are generous and im lucky a psn voucher code for MGS1)
All in exclusive steelbook casing.

I'd prefer the artbook than the 5 cards any day!

InactiveUser4530d ago

"•Metal Gear Solid 4" yellow Platinum Hits box art.

Omar1st4530d ago (Edited 4530d ago )

Lol yeah but it dont really matter. I bought MGS4 on launch so its cool. But I feel you, hate those platinum box art's.

torchic4530d ago

soooo ugly :(

please Sony, stop with those hideous yellow/silver casings...

RustInPeace4529d ago

Did I miss something? Weren't the PS3 G.Hits in red boxes? When did this change (or at the very least why is this the ONLY game I've heard of being put in a yellow case?)

InactiveUser4527d ago (Edited 4527d ago )

Zavvi is a UK/Euro site.. it's called "Platinum Range" there instead of "Greatest Hits" and they're an ugly yellow, compared to the still not so great red ones we have here in the US.

Some info on Platinum Range:

I can't believe these guys its Yoji Shinkawa not Yoshi!

Omar1st4530d ago

Lol haha yeah. I just copy and pasted from Zavvi :P

stu8884530d ago

did they say there's still only 4000 copies. and will the case be numbered? that's why I bought it for god's sake.

FAGOL4530d ago

Well it is still sold out. I think if there was more than 4000 then you would be able to buy it now.

Anyway I bought it for the same reason. I hope they don't screw us over.

NBT914530d ago

When you listed it as "Metal Gear Solid HD Game" I almost thought you meant the original MGS in HD.

But that does look like a much nicer set, I mean if you really want to get MGS, you can download it off the store anyway and it costs very little if you can afford the ultimate edition anyway. The artbook is actually an exclusive thing, I would rather have that over the original MGS in itself.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218322d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel22d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia21d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken80d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7107d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop107d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

Edit: compare this to what we got yes capcom uplifted the looks but you can see were the work came from

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
