Still no twin snakes...

This collection only features games directed by Kojima.

 

[King of the Potato People]

So tempted to have yet another Metal Gear collection, these games never get old for me.

 

[Mobius 1]

Will buy.

It will probably be my 24523434th copy of MGS3, but thats fine.

 

[Ridley327]

shouldn't they wait for PS4 to release a version that works on PS4 instead?

Did you see the sales of Castlevania 3DS? They need money quick!

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

!

Given Kojima's position, I think you mean "i"

 

[bideogamer]

Yeah ok Ill bite for 80.

 

[Radec]

Man, id pay for that poster on my wall.

 

[LiquidSolid]

probably give us the US version like with spyro and resident evil

Who knows. Konami Europe did give us the US version of Castlevania: SOTN but that took years.

Still no twin snakes...

No NES version of Metal Gear 1 or Snake's Revenge either...

 

[Noisepurge]

Oh no, not skateboarding.

I know, no-one cares. I just used it as an example, they are not 100% Subsistance versions!

 

[black_13]

If MGS1 was Twin Snakes version or at least some higher-res HD version I'd jump on it in a second. I borrowed my friends Gamecube just for Twin Snakes. It's way more playable than the classic version despite minor changes.

Still I might just buy this anyway as I didn't buy the HD collection and just played my friends copy.

 

[Noisepurge]

Will buy.

It will probably be my 24523434th copy of MGS3, but thats fine.

MGS2 in my case

 

[Naked Snake]

Snake's head in the top-left corner behind the M E letters, is that new art? He looks younger with a shorter mullet (ala Solid Snake, not Big Boss). Same with the one in the top-right corner. But I don't think I've seen these particular artworks/character models before.

 

[Chittagong]

Lock if old!

Anyone know if MGS2 will include the VR missions?

 

[Ridley327]

Anyone know if MGS2 will include the VR missions?

It's the same MGS2 included with the HD Collection, so yes.

 

[Sponge]

I need this.

 

[RionaaM]

MGS2 in my case

I take it you're not a great fan of Kojima's games, right?

Spoiler

I'm impressed! Though it seems you're lacking the 3DS port of MGS3 and the MSX games.

 

[Sinople]

$80 for an HD collection that goes for $30, a PS1 classic that goes for $10, and a 5 year old game that goes for $20. Where are the other $20 going to?

￥8,000 is the usual MRP for a PS3 game in Japan.
If you buy them separately, it's actually ￥4,000 (MGS4) + ￥4,000 (2&3 HD) + ￥3,500 (PW HD) + ￥1,200 (MGS) = ￥12,700 (well, actually around ￥10,000 as they're usually cheaper in shops).
Besides, the collection is already available for preorder for far less (￥6,500 on amazon).

 

[aristotle]

Man I'm really tempted to get this. Of course I also have 1 day to purchase the PSN versions right now before they end the sale. Decisions, decisions.

 

[fvng]

This collection will fail if

* they don't add a ton of supplemental material (making ofs, trailers, international commercials, interviews, etc)

* they don't include an art book of some sort [nailed that]

* super sexy packaging [nailed that]

* MGS1 NOT as a download code. New PS1 discs pressed for this edition [they fucked this up]

It has to be a true anthology of MGS

If it's too barebones then there is no appeal to the metal gear fan that already has all these games most likely

 

[Boke1879]

Gotta purchase this. I'm a Metal Gear Solid nut and no matter how many versions and collections they make I'll most likely buy them.

Konami are banking on the diehards to pick this up, and then hoping a few people who were trying to get into the series bite on this.

 

[olympia]

* include an art book of some sort [they already fucked this up]

Do you read? There's an 100 page art book included.

 

[wenis]

I have like 2-3 copies of each game in the series already...



goddammit, guess I'll have 3-4 copies of each game in the series now.

 

[Alienous]

Snake's head in the top-left corner behind the M E letters, is that new art? He looks younger with a shorter mullet (ala Solid Snake, not Big Boss). Same with the one in the top-right corner. But I don't think I've seen these particular artworks/character models before.

Top left is MGS2 Snake, rendered as he would be today. 'Top right' is MGS1 Snake, rendered similarly. They both appear to be new art.

Raiden's had a similar treatment.

 

[Chase Bones]

Do you read? There's an 100 page art book included.

Only confirmed for the Japanese release right?

Sure hope it's not $80 here.

I missed that, RELAX. It happens. don't get your knickers in a twist.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Edit: Beaten

 

[Roubjon]

I'd buy a print of that in a second.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

What is up with their order in that poster?
MGS2, MGS1, PW, MGS3, MGS4
and the other
MGS3, MGS2, MGS1, PW, MGS4

 

[Jawmuncher]

Dat Ghost Babel

In box and mint. So sexy.
Same with the PC and NES games.
I need them.

 

[fvng]

The recent super deluxe Final Fantasy Anthology had brand new PS1 discs pressed for that edition. This collection feels incomplete since some of the games are download vouchers. So close

 

[CambriaRising]

Damn, MGS1 Snake looks awesome with modern textures.

Except that he is holding the wrong gun. >_>

 

[Noisepurge]

Though it seems you're lacking the 3DS port of MGS3 and the MSX games.

yeah 3DS port is in the works as soon as i spot it on a game shop for cheapsies. No hurry there.

MSX games are just way too expensive, +300$ a piece. Same goes for the RED edition of Subsistance. Need to find these at a garage sale for 5$ like some lucky bastards have done

• 92+ Average Metacritic Rating for all games

[Bobadababy]

How many times do I have to purchase these games?

 

[DigitalOp]

Perfect. Now I can play through the entire saga uninterrupted. Thank you Ko(jima)nami!! Lol

 

[jsnepo]

So is MGS and VR Missions going to be just a code to download from PSN? If not then sold.

 

[lucius]

So someone that owns the MGS HD Collection and MGS4 has not much reason to buy this unless your a collector. They should have included that extra Blu-ray from limited edition of MGS4 that had like 4 hours of good behind the scenes stuff, I kind of regret giving that away should have been selfish and kept it.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

So no portable ops?

 

[mattp]

meh no thanks

the only way konami is getting me to buy these games again is with a totally comprehensive boxset

each game on it's own disc. document of mgs2, no download codes, a big nice box to store the games in not just a double thick bluray case, big art book with all concept art from every game, etc

 

[witness]

Since I dont have any of my metal gear games anymore, and my bday is on the july 20th, now I know what my wife can get me! The only question is, do I leave it sealed?

 

[90TilInfinity]

Konami could've at least sprung for a digipack or something. Or even just a cardboard sleeve, damn.

 

[Biker19]

This collection can be very good for someone like myself that hasn't picked up any of the MGS games at all.

Though MGS 1 should've also been on the disc too.

Also, what difference does it make if it's disc-based or downloadable?

Because people like us may want to play that game years down the road for nostalgia? It's guaranteed with a physical copy. The same can't be said for a digital copy.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Wow, $50? I can just buy MGS 1 on PSX and call this complete. Great price.
