My birthday is next week. I'm hoping my boyfriend gets the hint and gets me a Vita lol

Hhahahhaha, unless you leave an "accidental text message" most of us will not notice,lol.
Happy birthday in advance :]

[Piggus]

After reading that both games run at 60 fps and at native resolution, I jumped in. I have played through MGS2 and MGS3 more times than I can count. Probably more than 15 times each, and I STILL discover something new every time... I just can't get enough of this series. It's unfortunate that such an awesome story is so hard to explain to people who have not/will not play these games. You truly have to play them to understand the emotions that they try to instill.

Does he post here? If not how else are you hinting?

[Hero_of_the_Day]

@_@ I was in Urbana/Champaign for 4 years decades ago.

I'm actually from Charleston, which is a fairly small town like 40 minutes south of Champaign. Just in Peoria for a few years while my wife goes to PT school.

Champaign is our closest real city with a real mall, best buy, and what not.

So can anyone confirm or deny native resolution? What about 30 vs 60 fps?

Looks like 60FPS on both games on my Vita. Back of the case says: The resolution of this title is qHD (960pixels x 544pixels).

I'm on the fence on which version I should get. Digital or Physical. Does the physical version have reversible cover?

No?

[Returners]

Awesome. Digital it is if there's a price difference.

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Awesome. Digital it is if there's a price difference.

What were you wanting a reverse cover of?

[JohngPR]

Blame Sony for wrapping up everything to do with an app/game into its single Vita bubble. Or rather, blame PSP hackers.

I know, so lame.

:(

[Returners]

What were you wanting a reverse cover of?

Idk. Portable Ops had a cool reversible cover I remember the most. Forgot if Peace Walker had one, but still, was hoping it would have one.

[IMACOMPUTA]

Woah. I can't believe there's another gaffer from Illinois that doesn't live in Chicago! I thought we were a rare breed.

Add me to the list of non-chicago illinois gaffers.

I'm gonna check out my BB tomorrow!

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I'm on disc 2 now. Is it shorter than disc 1?

Edit - oops! I should have clarified; I'm talking about mgs1.

[Vyse The Legend]

I'm on disc 2 now. Is it shorter than disc 1? Edit - oops! I should have clarified; I'm talking about mgs1.

Disc 2 is basically the last "level." So, yes, very short.

As for the Vita collection, I saw it on sale yesterday, but I don't know if I can justify yet another copy of this game.

[mrklaw]

any confirmation of size yet? If its huge I'll probably get the card

[Letep]

Anyone know if tomorrow's the ship date or release date?

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Idk. Portable Ops had a cool reversible cover I remember the most. Forgot if Peace Walker had one, but still, was hoping it would have one.

Peace Walker didn't have a reverse artwork on its package insert. I doubt MGS HD will either since PSVita game cases are an opaque blue rather than transparent blue.

[icespide]

my amazon copy is shipping soon =)

[Steve McQueen]

Why are there no reviews? Another embargo?

[Shadow2222]

Newegg shipped my copy this morning. Does it speak more about the quality of the games or about us gamers when we get just as excited for every MGS re-release as we do new release haha?

[Skilletor]

my amazon copy is shipping soon =)

Mine too. Why didn't they have release date shipping? :(

[Chesskid1]

i jumped in.


should have it tomorrow.


plays mgs1 like 10 years ago, mgs2 when it first came out and mgs4 when it first came out. never played any other in the series, and those i played was a hella long time ago so i'll have no idea of the story.

hope i'm not too confused playing mgs2, lol. i was hoping to replay mgs1 on ps classic but i guess not, don't want to wait.

i ordered it at 3:53 am last night on amazon, it shipped at 1pm, and scheduled for tomorow (no RDD)

what shipping option did you get?

[Hispanicguy]

Random pics I just took lol.

[Shadow2222]

I am extremely jealous of those getting to play through these games for the first time. Possibly the best moments of my gaming history. I know there is a LTTP thread for the MGS games, but either in this thread or that thread, please leave your opinions. It amazes me how well these games are still received (usually anyways).

[AkuMifune]

Any chance this'll go up early on PSN? (cue lols).

Just sad that physical copies will be in Vita's for half a day before we even get the chance to buy it from the PSN store.

[BruceLeeRoy]

Alright gaf stopped being biatches and buy this collection right now so we can guarantee Z.O.E portable awesomeness.

[Chesskid1]

i have prime so 2day. not bad.

Yep, just finished mgs1 for the first time. It is an incredibly engrossing experience. I love the story and all the tension. It was a pretty hard game though. I can't believe how hard it would be without the radar. Anyway, I cannot wait to play mgs2 tomorrow. Already played mgs4, which is my favorite game of all time.

Edit - yep, I haven't played mgs3 either.

Assuming you havent played MGS3 yet, your opinion will change very soon.

I thought it was already confirmed for Vita? But yeah, I'm so pumped for this collection.

[SpaceBridge]

I just cant believe were getting two Vita games in one day.

[Takao]

I thought it was already confirmed for Vita? But yeah, I'm so pumped for this collection.

It was completely missing from the unveiling, and Transfarring is absent on the PS3 version's box.

[Live Free or Die]

i have prime so 2day. not bad.

oh ok cool. i dont have prime but, i got the two day shipping option and mine just says shipping soon and the delivery estimate is Friday June 15, 2012 :(

[x3n05]

As an Australian I have to wait another month for this game to come out and thought I should finally finish mgs1 before it does.

What's the best way to play mgs1?

On a ps1/2 on a CRT, ps3, psp, emulator?

[A Twisty Fluken]

Blame Sony for wrapping up everything to do with an app/game into its single Vita bubble. Or rather, blame PSP hackers.

No, I'll still blame Sony or Konami. PSP hackers made my PSP experience better.

I would imagine it would be best on a crt if you have one laying around.

[Shalashaska161]

I won't jump in right away but I'll certainly buy this once it's 20 bucks or so. Would love to replay these again.

Is it native res??? I MUST KNOW TO TRANSFARR

[metalshade]

I am sure the back of the box says rez is 960x544, so yeah it should be full rez.

[Y2Kev]

I am sure the back of the box says rez is 960x544, so yeah it should be full rez.

I think it only says that because "HD collection" would be otherwise false advertising. The Vita's res is that.

other people clairifed better than me (referring to posts below me)

[inner-G]

Yeah, much like PS3/360 games never say 540p or whatever if theyre sub-HD, they always just say 720p or whatever it is internally scaled to.

We needs some pixel counters up in here.

The screens that people have been posting from the game look very similar to the ones that KojiPro had been showing, so it's safe to say that it's still sub-native.

[metalshade]

Sorry, did I so something wrong?
If so, my bad.

[Eusis]

Blame Sony for wrapping up everything to do with an app/game into its single Vita bubble. Or rather, blame PSP hackers.

That doesn't work here, PSP save data remains distinct and I continue to doubt the benefit to anti-hacking there simply because there's still the block of data that retail games use. That, and it's the same stupid trend we're seeing with iOS and I believe Android devices, even the DSi does it. Basically the whole tech industry's gone collectively stupid about how to handle mobile programs and setting/save data.

[backbreaker65]

Questions

1. How large is the download file for each game?

2. Can they be bought separately?

[C-Jo]

I'm really disappointed this doesn't include Peace Walker. I'm playing it for the first time right now and it sure would be nice to transfarr my progress to my Vita.

[mrklaw]

Disappointing. Not so much for MGS3, but for the VR missions. All those straight lines and angles could look really bad at non-native res and then scaled up

[Cyntec]

I can't believe this. On the (German) product page Konami write the games will be "reworked in high definition". So you are saying they lie to me? Don't make me sad :(

[famousmortimer]

I've never played either game so i feel like i'm going to be listening to Nirvana: Nevermind for the first time or something.


I expect to be wowed :)

[GoncaloCCastro]

Is it native res??? I MUST KNOW TO TRANSFARR

I'd like to know exactly how transfar works. Is there an option on the Vita HD Collection? Is there going to be patch to add the option to the PS3 HD Collection or is it there already?
