What was the final word on transfarring? Restricted to Japan only?

So anyone think the Collectors editon is worth it, or should I not get it?

METAL...GEAR?!?!?!?!

Well...the pc version of mgs1 was in hd, and it looked rather great. Wayyy better than the ps1 version. Why not release it?

Can't wait to play PeaceWalker at long last, wasn't gonna buy a PSP just to play it.

A bit bummed that the European release is delayed but at the same time glad. November is a bad time in gaming released and it's a good thing for this to be delayed for a bit.

Downloadable????

What kind of collection misses out the first game...

Pass cause of that.

Will pick it up when it drops in price.

I have all of those already, and while the PS2 versions look crappy upscaled via 60GB PS3 on an HDTV, it looks just fine on a CRT with component cables.  If it was less money, it would be more of a deal for me, but for those without these fine titles it sounds great.

Time to fall in love with Metal Gear Solid 2 all over again.

Can. Not. Wait.

This news just made my day.

At last I can play MGS3 and move on to my copy of MGS4 I've had for almost 2 years now.

Screw call of duty I'm getting Metal Gear Solid HD collection on November 8th.

So, the release date wasn't already announced? I saw it up on Gamestop and Amazon last week. Either way, cool. Totally getting it.

OH BY THE WAY THIS IS OUT IN TWO WEEKS KTHX.

Ok awesome, but is thie original MGS on PSN going to be a remade HD version or just the original?

I'm pretty sure it is a PS1 Classics, so just the original PS1 Version. Surprised they don't give you a voucher to download MGS1 when you buy the collection, even if it is the original PS1 Version.

and here in the uk we get it in february :(

@wackyphill: It's not very good. Its gameplay is worse than Peace Walker's and its story is a mess and non canon.

This is such a disappointment! What the hell is with the delay in the UK? Fuck sake.

Glad Patrick didn't forget that Silicon Knights-developed MGS: Twin Snakes remake. Considering all other games in the compilation run on modified MGS2 tech, they REALLY should've included Twin Snakes alongside 'em. It's a fantastic game. I'm assuming it's Nintendo's fault somehow; they seem to be doing a good job of screwing up everything these days anyway ;)

It's not smart of them to drop this during the holiday season though. Should've held off until January or February. With games like those stupid, disposable, unbelievably overhyped, nearly identical-looking military shooters coming out, as well as Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Batman, etc. there's no way the traditional MGS demographic will have this on their radars before snatching up any of those other games.

considering what Kojima has said in the past, shouldn't Peace Walker be renamed MGS5, since it fits all of the prerequsites he said beforehand?

Likewise. I haven't been too excited lately in regards to new releases (minus Skyrim) but I'm really stoked for this HD collection.

So I get a week to play Uncharted 3? Nice! And nobody cares for the Silcon Knights remake.

Wait. Metal Gear?

Second floor basement?

Haven't played a Metal Gear game since MGS for PS1. Still debating if I should pick this up.

i kiiiiinda really want this.

same here. I'm thinking about buying the collectors edition with the credit I have for Amazon.

I'll buy it and the original on PSN I think. Snake Eater was fantastic.

I've had this pre-ordered from GameStop for at least two months now, with them claiming the release day was November 8th the whole time. I didn't even know it was in question.

I got the PS3 version because I have no clue how the 360 is going to handle the pressure-sensitive buttons in a way that doesn't change the controls completely, and I don't like change associated with my HD makeovers of old favorites.

Too bad Patrick, Peace Walker is one of the best MGS games. The experience was great regardless of a second analog stick. Still, I'll be getting this HD Collection because I want to play MGS2 and MGS 3 in HD.

This is actually an incredibly astute observation. I totally forgot about the whole "let go of square slowly to put the gun down without firing" bit of those games.

I remember Twin Snakes on the GameCube had you do some convoluted series of button presses to lower a firearm without shooting. Ugh. I don't want to go through that again, but I also don't have much of a choice!

I already have MGS 1-3, so that means the only thing I don't have is Peace Walker. At this point, I might as well purchase a PSP for dirt cheap, buy all the games I'd want to play for dirt cheap, then flash the firmware so I can run emulators 'n stuff. Foolproof!

Definitely looking forward to this. Maybe I'll just go through a marathon and play MGS 1 - 4 all over again >_>;;;

I never played Snake Eater (gasp) so if they fix its controls and make it widescreen, I'll be happy lolcat.

There is already a remake of Metal Gear Solid, "Twin Snakes" for the Game Cube. Why didn't they include it in the package? Some copyright issues might be behind this omission I'm afraid. Or some other cheap profit reason anyway.

Gutted Europe doesn't get it till February. =[  I'm tempted to import for my PS3 but when the 360 version came out over here I'd props get it anyways.

Hope they remembered to remove the Playstation references in the 360 version.

*Crotch Thrust*

No MGS or MGS: Twin Snakes? No sale

Suckers ain't got Twin Snakes? Suckers need to try again.

I didn't know they were putting the MSX games on here too, that's cool. Glad it's coming out soon, might even put off Uncharted 3 for these. My PS3 collection is comprised of more PS2 upressed games than actual PS3 games, so good.

All I care about is MGS3. That game is truly epic. Wasn't good till Subsistence due to camera issues, however. MGS1 is a milestone but the third game is simply amazing. I love all the talk about VHS tapes, Godzilla, CQC, crazy bees, that sniper boss, and most of all...snake eating. Can't. Freaking. Wait.

@BBQBram: I feel you on that one dude. I still have my copy of Twin Snakes. So I will still be picking up this collection.

I'd really love to play Twin Snakes - always heard great things about it, never got around to playing it. I'd even settle for a Virtual Console version, which may be the only way it's released.

I played all four games for the first time back-to-back and was really bummed out when MGS4 didn't have any eating mechanics in it. Seriously!

I want to collect all my enemies in peace walker, and be given a trophy for it. That's how I roll, when I'm not rage quitting.

I'm hoping heheh

Can't wait to play MGS2 and MGS3 again; MGS2's being played first most definitely.

Is there going to be a trophy for beating MG and MG2? Because there had better be!
