Yep... and take out MG1 and 2. They're more supplementary than not.

I might agree with you on MG1, but MG2 is really good. MGS was, in a lot of ways, a direct clone of MG2 in terms of gameplay, plus the story is pretty good and it expands on Grey Fox's character.

Doubtful, but I really hope the team fixes the bullshit button-mashing sequence against Solidus at the end of MGS2. On European Extreme it is downright impossible by mortal hands to survive that sequence and has always been the primary stumbling block for me not completing that mode. You cannot even use a turbo controller as the game is designed to recognize that as cheating. Uncanny how that sequence scales the button mashing requirement to difficulty level. I didn't ask for this!

MGS2 is one of the best-aged, visually, games on the PS2. All it really needed was to become 16:9. Up-res'ing it just a bonus.

The entire Big Shell environment looks so good. The Tanker too, of course.

But it's doable. It just takes a LOT of patience and practice.

Regarding the Artbook, Kojima said on his twitter that it has about 400 pages, but the Amazon US product item says it has about 200 pages... I hope that the western release doesn't get a cut in the book material. :/

Gamestop has it listed with 250 pages.

I tried so hard, read weird internet reports/rumors that the sequence is somehow easier if you tilt the camera to be looking directly at the moon(which I think is pure BS). Biggest roadblock I've ever faced in gaming, a shame because I adored the journey of dogtag collecting on Euro-Extreme. Felt like a fucking Big-Boss. I'll make another attempt on this collection...and probably hate life all over again at that sequence.

MGS really needs to bring back dogtags...and VR missions. Substance got it right.

I still cannot believe that they did not flip the HUD in Peace Walker to a horizontal position.

We already knew this; they likely cut any MGS1 content in the US release.
