MGS: The Legacy Collection has “Over 60hrs of Epic Gameplay,” Kojima Explains the Missing Games

Thanks to Hideo Kojima and the Konami website, a couple more details for the Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection have popped up, though the elusive final price point (I’m guessing $60) still remains a mystery. - PSLS

Best way for newcomers to catch up, certainly

Kevin ButIer4007d ago

I really hate they don't include MGS Portable OPS. Even if it's not a HKojima game, it is canonical.

xHeavYx4006d ago

I feel the word EPIC is not good enough to describe Metal Gear

Soldierone4006d ago

I liked Portable Ops, but Kojima openly doesn't like it and is trying to rewrite that part of the story.

irepbtown4006d ago

If it's $60 (£40 here) then it just makes it that much better. I played MGS1/2 here and there never properly went through them. This will give me a chance to.

Quick question, I read through the Article, it doesn't include MGS3 right?
Slightly confused :l

RBlue_Desire4006d ago

Its Metal Gear Solid 1 with alot of VR Missions and extra content.

Irishguy954006d ago

Redone MGS1 with a few different things + MGS VR missions(yes the one where you can play as grey fox for a while) in one package

showtimefolks4006d ago

Even though I own all game it's a buy lol MGS my favorite series

TrendyGamers4007d ago

60 hours of gameplay, 120 hours of cutscenes.

Sandmano4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

Lool they did over do it in MGS 4

jaymart2k4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

Thats cause it was a movie 1st then they added some gameplay at end of development.

TrendyGamers4007d ago

Wasn't meant as a low blow, just that there's a lot of cutscenes.

Timesplitter144007d ago

Seriously though I think the gameplay/cutscene ratio in MGS games ranges from 2:1 in MGS1 to 4:5 in MGS4.

It depends on how you play, of course.

TheOneEyedHound4006d ago

3:5 MGS4, just saying.

Still MGS4 is my top 3 game this Gen.

Qrphe4007d ago

That's not a problem at all

CEOSteveBallmer4006d ago

Yeah cutscenes is not a problem, you can skip it but I think you already know that? and Honestly I love cutscenes. A game with so little cutscene is somehow boring for me. cutscenes tells the story and enriches gameplay experience. Hideo knows whats good for his games.

Wedge194006d ago

A few cutscenes are fine, but MGS4 had too many that were too long. I would finish up one section, expecting to be able to save and head out (oft times running late), and I would be required to sit through up to 50 minutes of cutscenes in which I could not save and there was no gameplay at all. That's excessive. I loved the game, still do, but there are more cutscenes than time spent actually controlling Snake.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4006d ago

Dark Souls isn't boring. Far from it, actually.

Bobby Kotex4006d ago

I've played Skyrim alone for over 60 hrs.

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4006d ago

60 very epic hours. 80-90 if you play on Boss extreme (Like me) @_@ I actually drooled while reading this article. :b,,,,,,,,,,,

Honestly read that as "Over 60hrs of epic cutscenes" I kid you not.

ftwrthtx4007d ago

That is an epic collection

Good. Maybe then you can work on your English skills.

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.

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.

Cacabunga75d 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.

Becuzisaid75d 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.

shinoff218375d 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

Juancho5175d 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.

How are Solid Snake and Naked Snake Different in the Metal Gear Series?

Though similar in name, the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid Delta, Naked Snake, is different from the more iconic character of the series Solid Snake.

Dirty_Lemons323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

They looked the same, acted the same, and we're both voiced by David Hayter. During the classic period of MGS, there was no difference (someone correct me but I don't recall if in Snake Eater NS was already determined to create his private militia?)

Side note - still a fantastic series of games with a plot so bonkers but still somehow works.

Name Last Name323d ago

The seeds of rebellion are planted after The Boss’ sacrifice in MGS3 but he starts his militia in Peace Walker.

Dirty_Lemons323d ago

Thanks NLN. That's what I seemed to think was the case, but for a series that retcons its own story multiple times throughout the decades it's hard to be 100% after a few years off.

PhillyDillyDee323d ago

They are different people for one. Naked snake becomes big boss of the original metal gear games. Solid and liquid are his clones.
