Just because MGS4 included !

nick3094002d ago

Mgs 1 is a psn code in the collection.

Perjoss4002d ago

MGS1 was also a PC game.

Gazondaily4002d ago

MGS1 came out on the Gamecube as well iirc.

raiden-494002d ago

Too all the people diliking there is a PC MGS and then there is the "remake" for the gamecube so its mainly just MGS4.

Why o why4002d ago

@ Majin Vageta below

harsh...but i do remember metal gear being dissed for....'being a movie', 'having too much cut scenes'
What happened.....lmao, rinse and repeat, smh

I remember a month ago I was hit with pm's because I stated that the playstation brand has made MGS what it is today even though metal gears and mgs's had appeared on other platforms. He wasn't familiar with idioms or the meaning and pm'd my ass until he blocked me because of my retorts I guess.. Chick flick *cough* omni *cough*

Im not surprised this collection is ps only, at least for now anyway

yoshiroaka4002d ago

So what does this mean for Metal Gear solid V? Isnt that coming to 360? :S

irepbtown4002d ago

I thought the next 2 MGS, MGS5 and Ground Zeroes would be next gen. So yoshiroaka, I think these two may end up on the next Xbox.

On-topic:

This collection is great for piecing the story together. I only played the old MGS (1/2) here 'n' there, so if I can get my hands on this it will be great.

It would have been too expensive to manufacture something with 6-8 discs with the extremely old DVD format.

I thought Otacon explained it already.

"Kojima stated that the Legacy Collection would require half a dozen discs on the 360."

Fact stated.

DatNJDom814001d ago

But I thought all u xbox guys said MGS4 was just a movie. Why would you want that on your xbox? LOL you guys are hilarious.

also kojima MGS4 being a ps3 exclusive wouldn't make sense for xbox360 owners getting the Legacy collection without MGS4

not having Bluray held many games back MS, you better not screw up this time around

_-EDMIX-_4001d ago

Buddy, I'm 100% with you! MS not using a larger format pretty much held back this entire generation!

Next gen when more games start using Bluray, I don't want to hear crap from people going nuts over the increase in quality over the games. Um...we could have had that THIS GEN! 720 having Bluray is a long overdue choice.

Tr10wn4001d ago

I wonder whats holding back the "next" generation since PC is ahead of the PS4 already by far.

Lame excuse next please.

Gaming_Guru4001d ago

Microsoft didn't hold back this generation, if you want the full advantage of blu-ray, get a PS3.

Did the Wii hold back this generation too since the Wii cannot produce the same kind of graphics as the Xbox 360 / PS3? You just buy an Xbox 360 or PS3 if you want the full advantage of the better processors.

"Did the Wii hold back this generation too since the Wii cannot produce the same kind of graphics as the Xbox 360 / PS3?"

Ummm... last time I checked Wii didn't get a copy of the multiplat games that are on x360 and PS3. And if they are on Wii the game is dumbed down seriously.

Since PS3 and x360 are so close to one another devs needed to launch games for both of them so they needed to either make the game fit on one disc or pay MS dearly for more discs not to mention if the game was even able to be chopped down to more than one disc. Wouldn't be ok to swap discs in GTA4 or 5 now would it?

Not much of a guru are you?

jcnba284001d ago

PSN has been broken since 2006, you better not screw up this time around.

Gaming_Guru4001d ago

You failed to miss the point, if you take in the whole comment, I also stated if you want to take full advantage of the better processors buy an Xbox 360 or PS3. I also stated if you want blu-ray, buy a PS3 so the generation isn't held back if something else out that is taking advantage of better technology.

In the end, my point was buy the technology with the tech you want to take advantage of.

For example the smart phones aren't holding back gaming since dedicated handhelds gaming exist, dedicated handhelds gaming don't hold gaming back since consoles exist, and consoles do not hold gaming back since computers exist.

Not much of a reader are you?

PS2 and XB used DVD (5 to 8 gigs)

PS3 uses Bluray (25 to 50gigs depending on type)

360 uses.....DVD (5 to 8 gigs)

STAND BACK GUYS DVD9 WAVE OF THE FUTURE! LOL!

Many need to understand. Making games using 7 to 8 gigs isn't the norm, they are making games using this size because its the 360's limit. If you see games like GT5, MGS4, Killzone 2 and 3, Uncharted, Last Of Us etc, these are all TRUE current gen games in the respect they are not making a game with 8 gigs in mind like they did LAST GEN! They are free to make a game the way they wanted to, not limiting, hindering, shortening etc to FIT 8gigs.

This is why many didn't want MGS4 as a multiplatform game, I could careless who's playing it, but I don't want my version hindered because of MS's stupid decisions when it comes to designing a system.

Ever wonder why GTAIV is so small, lacks many features that the older GTAIV's had? Ever wonder why FFXIII isn't open world with airships? Just saying, there is a reason why FFVII was never on N64 and if you understand that much, you know why this gen was gimped by the 360's inferior format. Cause they didn't go the route Kojima did with there games, they gambled and lost.

GTAV I'm calling it now is a install! I'm extremely happy they fixed there issue with the 360's DVD9! Its the only way to explain why its so big and...well a GTA game again!

While where talking about installs, MGSV is most likely going to be one too! The damn game isn't coming on 8 disk! LMFAO!

Knuxxx4001d ago

all the wars going on about better format, swapping discs, exclusive games, ect... Really guys? Are we STILL trying to justify buying our consoles when new ones will be coming out at the end of the year?? C'mon...

Chard4001d ago

That's kinda lame that MGS1 is not on the disc. Since I already have MGS4 I'm leaning back towards getting the previous HD collection that is pretty cheap now.

LOL

Kojima said it would require half a dozen discs on Xbox.
I'm sure not many people would want to pay over $ 300 for a game collection, even though this is THE ultimate collection :)

Simple solution, get a PS3 :D

Godmars2904002d ago

More likely because the fee MS charges for extra discs is still in place.

They probably would have to charge $300 to make up for it.

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.

Cacabunga73d 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..

raWfodog72d 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.

Becuzisaid73d 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.

shinoff218373d 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

Juancho5173d 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_Lemons321d ago (Edited 321d 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 Name321d ago

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

Dirty_Lemons321d 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.

PhillyDillyDee321d ago

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