GODDAMMIT. I JUST bought MGS:GZ (new, physical) on the PS4 last week cause I wanted to see what the Fox Engine looked like on current gen consoles.

Fuck.

Should've just downloaded PT.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Tempting (Does MGS HD Collection PS3 include Peace Walker? I ask because PW is listed separately too. I know they were all three together at retail but dunno about digital) but gotta save this week's game money for Smash Bros.

I went all digital on my PS3 when it stopped reading discs of any sort last year, so these sales are a good way to restock my library.

 

[scitek]

How much can you routinely find the MGS HD collection at retail? Less than $20?

 

[Menaged]

I was hoping to see MGR for 5$.
Yeah, I'm cheap, but I'm broke as well...

 

[SirPainsalot]

Oh shit Symphony of the Night is on sale I'm all for that.

Also, is Silent Hill 1 a good starting point? Don't want to buy the infreior version of the game if a better one exists.

Yup. Shattered Memories is a remake in the absolute loosest definition of the word, if you're looking to get into the series proper you still need to play the PS1 original. Definitely dated but still not a bad romp.

 

[FlashFlooder]

I would recommend waiting til Wedensday before buying anything as there might be a buy for $100 get $10 back offer
Even if there won't be it wouldn't hurt to wait.

Can I get some more info on this?

 

[Luke_Wal]

No PSP Peace Walker? I want it on my Vita..... Bummer.

 

[MillionStabs]

Getting that HD Vita collection and SotN.

 

[tskeeve]

As someone who loved the original game, I really hate what they did to the Vita version.

They just sucked nearly all of the charm right out of it. The cute art-style was swapped for an incredibly generic anime one (Im not saying anime is bad, this specific art-style is just generic), they changed all of the princesses into extremely pandering waifus (I mean, gosh, they even made one of them a vocaloid singer. Why.), and they changed a lot of the humour/writing to suit a very generic 'anime' template.

They also changed the more unique battles in the original game into pretty generic ones. Most of the cool boss gimmicks were just taken right out of the game.

It's not an outright bad game if it's your only option, but I'd highly recommend the Wii version instead.

Thanks for the impressions. I may end up picking it up, actually, as I don't have strong opinions on anime either way, I don't think the conventions of the genre would bother me as much.

Where is Castlevania X Chronicles PSP? That one completely gets missed again. Did Konami not have anything to do with that game? Wow its been $15 for the longest time. Shit needs to be $5 right now. Gonna pass on all the other Castlevania games and maybe buy the PS1 games.

 

[paolo11]

I got MGS HD Collection even though I have the Physical retail disc,

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Symphony of the Night is by far the best game of that list.

Also, obligatory best OST ever:

How is the PS3 version of Ground Zeroes?

 

[mullet2000]

How is the PS3 version of Ground Zeroes?

The framerate is pretty bad.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I've always been intrigued by the Metal Gear series and, despite three failed attempts to play the HD version of MGS2, I still want to get into the series. Is Ground Zeros an okay place to start? I realize it's random, but it's on sale so...

 

[zruben]

guys, I only have a PS3, is MGS:GZ worthy at 9 bucks?
or should I wait till I get a PS4? (probably this holiday season)

 

[Tizoc]

Suikoden 1 is Vita compatible but may require transfering from PS3 to Vita
Don't make me make a new thread just for it, buy it you heathens

 

[SerTapTap]

It looks way better on PS4. I'd say it's worth the wait and literally couple extra bucks since it's not like TPP is going to be out by then anyway.

 

[Glorified G]

Hilarious how PES 2014 is on sale ($14.99) yet it's not even advertised at the link. You also cannot download PES 2015 demo from the PSN store on PS4 while FIFA 15 demo is splashed everywhere. You have to go SEN store in order to download it.

 

[Tomodachi]

I love when they discount PSOne Classics: just got MGS, Silent Hill and SotN to play on my Vita.

Now if they only discounted PS2 Classics... I'd really like to play Lament of Innocence again, I have fond memories of it for some reasons.

 

[sikkinixx]

MG Rising at $10? Shiiiiiiet

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

You could just buy it on sale now so you have a game waiting for you when you get your new system.

 

[THEAnderson21]

Is Little King's Story any good? I was always interested in it.

 

[shwimpy]

how's the ps1 version of SOTN? also, what's regarded as the best version of the game?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Suikoden 1 is Vita compatible but may require transfering from PS3 to Vita
Don't make me make a new thread just for it, buy it you heathens

Thank you. I'll definitely be picking this one up. Never played Suikoden, but Suikoden II is one of my all-time favorites.

 

[Karkador]

how's the ps1 version of SOTN? also, what's regarded as the best version of the game?

it has the best (cheesiest) localization and voice acting, but slowdown at some parts. IMO, it's still the definitive version.

 

[Tizoc]

Well Dracula X Chronicles has the game but also features the JP dub and an improved translation. The former means Norio Wakamoto as Dracula.

 

[Sora_N]

Time to buy Suikoden and SOTN. I'll wait for the next sale for MGshd vita or just play my PS3 ones.

 

[Living Proof]

I've been waiting on the MGS: HD Collection to go on sale for what feels like forever now. EU seemed to get some great prices on it (and a giveaway via Plus), so I figured I'd wait... and this price kills it for me. I just grabbed a "like new" used copy from Amazon for less than the digital price on sale.

At least if they give it away on Plus in the future, I won't feel badly about buying it on sale because I own a physical copy. I'd consider buying other games if I didn't own everything I'm interested in already-- aside from the Castlevania HD game, which I'm surprised still goes for that much seeing how old it is and how mixed reception was. I might bite if I think I'll ever touch it.

It's funny that I grabbed the HD collection today, though. I found a copy of Twin Snakes in excellent condition at a small video rental place while driving for work earlier this afternoon. They were going out of business, and I saw it sitting amongst a bunch of sports games for what I assume is a pretty fair $15. It's the only one I've never played all the way through, so I'll be content to play through the whole series again before V launches.

 

[sense]

Can I get some more info on this?

well they had sales the last two years around october so we might get news tomorrow.

buy 100 get 20 in 2012 or get 10 for every 50 in 2013

[Creaking]

Tempted by Ground Zeroes, but I feel like it'll go lower or be a PS+ title in the future. Still not willing to pay that much.

I'd personally feel comfortable at around that price (especially PS3), and I bought it for $25 at launch. If you're a big fan of the series, I would say it's a nice price to bite at, but then again your assumptions are likely correct. I'd think someone over at Sony or Konami would already be rubbing their hands at the prospect of giving Ground Zeroes away for free a month or two before MGSV launches.

 

[jadjei]

I think I'm gonna pick up MGS HD. Too bad I don't have a ps3 to transfer MGS 1 to my Vita, I would have bought that game also. >_>

 

[Living Proof]

Is Little King's Story any good? I was always interested in it.

It's pretty solid on the Vita. Definitely worth the price, at any rate.

 

[HykCraft]

I LOVE METAL GEAR SOLD!

 

[netguy503]

GODDAMMIT. I JUST bought MGS:GZ (new, physical) on the PS4 last week cause I wanted to see what the Fox Engine looked like on current gen consoles.

Fuck.

PT is a free download that uses the Fox Engine.

 

[kick51]

how's the ps1 version of SOTN? also, what's regarded as the best version of the game?

360 version is the best overall. PS1 still has PS1 load times on PS3. Dracula X version is a blurry mess and iirc, some boxed in resolution

 

[Tabris]

EVERYONE BUY SUIKODEN. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN REPLAYING. CONSIDER IT A KICKSTARTER FOR SUIKODEN.

I bought it!

however, i've lost faith in Suikoden 2 coming over.

I know your feel bro, i bought it digitally after TGS because i just couldn't wait


Edit: Suikoden, MGR and SOTN are really tempting

Do I need a ps3 to transfer the game to Vita?

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Looks like I'll be picking up Suikoden and Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Splash Wave]

Will Silent Hill transfer to Vita?

 

[Shun]

PSN Store please update, I've been waiting for Hard Corps Uprising to be on sale forever D: DLC Sale too.

Based Konami.

 

[RyanPierre]

I would get Ground Zeroes, but I've already borrowed and beaten it, and I have trouble believing it won't end up as a PS Plus title sooner rather than later.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

I was thinking of buying Suikoden the other day but knew I should wait for a sale. Glad I waited!

 

[ricki42]

Well, if you consider April 'forever'. I bought the HD collection for PS3 back then for $12.

 

[kick51]

Will Silent Hill transfer to Vita?

yep

 

[Zeyphersan]

So is Hard Corps: Uprising not actually on sale?
