Didn't realize you get a $10 credit for pre-ordering this at Amazon.
That'll go nicely with Gravity Rush.

Awesome. Preordered.

 

[KillGore]

Looks smooth, bought the PS3 version and will be buying this as well, transfarring <3

 

[Branson]

Portable Ops is compatible with the vita.

Wait really?

Also I think I'll get this. Even though I already have it on ps3. I just bought mgs1 off of psn to put it on my vita when the time comes.

 

[Rush2thestart]

Yeah I think I'll pass on this one. Already have the HD collection on PS3, and the MGS3 with better game mechanics on 3DS.

 

[Strike]

Framerate looks good. I will be triple dipping on this (bought the originals twice on PS2).

 

[DSmalls84]

It's on the EU vita store so it's compatible.
Don't know in other regions.

Yeah I have a US Vita so that probably explains it. Pretty strange that it runs in one region and not the other though.

 

[Raine]

Oh c'mon. I can't afford Gravity Rush and this

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

This honestly looks to be the definitive way of playing these games, the control method looks THAT good.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I need this so bad!!

I'll be damn, the touch controls make sense.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Gravity Rush and this! It's all I need from the Vita in June!

 

[lantus]

Technicalities aside, still very excited for this, even after just buying the PS3 version a few months ago! June is an all Vita month for me!

 

[Salaadin]

Do we know how the trophies work on this? Are they shared between the PS3 and Vita versions or do they each get their own?

I want to pick this up on Vita but dont want to re-earn the trophies I got on PS3.

Done. Thanks for the headsup.

They get separate lists, but they have the same trophies and transfarring your PS3 save file should unlock the ones you've already received.

 

[dallow_bg]

Done. Thanks for the headsup.

I just realized though that GR and MGS are same day.
Can't used the credit on GR or else I'd miss out on the pre-order DLC.

Guess I'll use it on something else.

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

I feel like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory. Every time I see a MSG game, I have to buy it. So I guess that means I'm probably going to get this.

Ahhhh. Was just gonna post about "Cool stuff, but $40 is too much".

 

[spats]

Looks buttery smooth. SOLD.

 

[Infinite Justice]

another to the list.

Woot! Thanks for this dallow. The game looks friggin amazing on Vita. Saluted right into the preorder.

 

[Coolwhip]

Compared to playing it on a huge HD screen? Or are you talking handhelds only here.

 

[kinggroin]

*sigh* I know it's technically not the same res as the PS2 version. My point is that 16:9 versions of a 4:3 ratio i.e 720x448 versus 512x448 or 1920x1080 versus 1440x1080 will have exactly the same quality since one version is literally like the other one but with two parts from either side cut off, i.e. same pixel density, same res etc. If you have a 1080p TV and a PC try playing a game at 1920x1080 and at 1440x1080, aside from aspect ratio differences, they will look exactly the same even though the former obviously has a much higher res. Playing the PS2 version of the game would literally be like playing the Vita version but with two black cardboard pieces on either side of the screen.

You're basically saying, 1080p but cropped on the sides (or in this case, simply not rendered) to give us the 4:3 image with the same picture quality of a full 1920x1080 one.

I get ya.

 

[Liquid_015]

Pre-ordered. Aw yeah, now I can use the 10$ credit on Gravity Rush! Win-Win!

 

[chickdigger802]

"We want to bring HD quality games to the handheld."

With... a ps2 collection?

This guy needs to go back to Media training class.

Sounds like he is saying "NSX" instead of "MSX" too

 

[Rahxephon91]

The definite way to play incredibly movie like games is on a handheld because of pretty cheap touch controls?


hahahahahahaha

 

[Alligatorjandro]

This looks awesome.Can't wait for June 12th.

 

[theBishop]

The touch controls for inventory look better than any other solution KojiPro has cooked up.

Backtouch interrogation looks gimmicky.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Backtouch interrogation looks gimmicky.

Yeah, not feeling that at all. I mean, holding up dudes makes sense since there's no R3, but tapping for punching was just kinda dumb

 

[dark10x]

I get ya.

The problem is that he attempting to apply square pixel logic to the PS2 image. 512x448 is not a 4:3 resolution if displayed with square pixels. The PS2 game is basically stretched to fill the 4:3 aspect ratio resulting in rectangular pixels which degrades image quality. There is also no native way to output a proper progressive image from the PS2 itself.

So to suggest that the Vita version offers the same image quality as the PS2 version with additional pixels simply expanding the view is incorrect in this case.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

MGS4 is really the only game that would be missing, but I don't think we'll see that happen (nor do I think it's well suited to the Vita).

You'd drain the battery in one cutscene.

 

[Rahxephon91]

You'd drain the battery in one cutscene.

Or break your Vita.

Yeah, the inventory input is good but, backtouch is meh.

[Vyse The Legend]

I really, really shouldn't buy this game. This would be the third time that I purchase MGS3 in the past YEAR!

1. HD Collection on PS3, which I barely touched.
2. Snake Eater 3DS, which I absolutely destroyed and sunk nearly 30 hours into.
3. Then, this...

I must not... I should not.

But yet, I feel compelled.

 

[Audioboxer]

Really wanted to get Peace Walker trophies (In response to PSP version works on Vita).

Will most likely just get the PS3 collection.

The 3DS version was pretty bad, but it probably would've been a lot better if I was able find a damn CPP around here <_<

 

[yankee666]

Looks incredible!!!. Im gonna pick it up once its $19 or less than Y2200. I have alredy play those games to death so i can wait a little longer to have them in my Vita

 

[Mr Swine]

Looks very good but my only complaint is why does it take 7 seconds to load the next cutscenes and then 8 seconds from the radio chat to play the game :/

 

[Carl]

I'd like to play Metal Gear 1 on that thing.

 

[Akainu]

PROTIP: watch this without sound.

I think I need to take your temperature.

 

[Skilletor]

Maybe the cutscenes mask loading?

 

[Raitosaito]

How many times do I have to buy this game...

 

[Rootbeer]

never played a metal gear game in my life. going to pick this up and see what i have been missing.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Looks quite fine.

Then again, I wouldn't expect it to look bad considering these are enhanced PS2 games. If they couldn't get these to run smoothly, Konami would have taken shit for it and rightly so.

 

[BigTnaples]

You should play MGS1 first. Game is all about the story and already by 2 the story is hard to follow even if you did play MGS1.


That said enjoy them, they're amazing.

I disagree. I think both 1-3 are self contained entries with stories that stand alone. There are references throughout, but I don't think you'd be particularly lost if you hadn't played any of the previous games.

4, though, is fanboy service and assumes you have played the previous games.

 

[TenaciousNorth]

Well I isn't realise this was coming out next month, I just bought the HD collection for PS3 and Peacewalker on the PSN store for my Vita. Transfarring is still a feature so I can swap my saves over between both versions right?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

The 3DS version was pretty bad, but it probably would've been a lot better if I was able find a damn CPP around here <_<

3DS version was serviceable, but I did use a CPP.
