Perhaps it would have been better to have someone play who isn't shit at the game. That was supposed to pique my interest?

Is this only available on the ps3 in the MGS HD collection I wonder, or can you get it separately? Doesn't matter too much I guess; I'll gladly get the entire MGS HD collection just for Peace Walker. But if the option is available I'd rather get this on its own. 
 
Also was the person playing this with his eyes closed? What the hell.

Here's a better video of the E3 demo. It's the 360 version. Kessler should of posted this one instead.

Not really much they've done for the game other than upping the resolution. Also, what a terrible way to present the game.

The larger issue with Peace Walker HD isn't the graphics. It's that the game was tuned specifically for clunky PSP controls, so the enemy AI competence and overall game difficulty were greatly scaled back from past MGS games. In combat, enemies rarely move and Snake takes a TON of hits to compensate for not being able to aim anywhere near as well. In stealth mode the enemies give you a bunch of time after they first spot you (much longer than in other MGS games) to give you time to wrestle with the camera in an escape attempt or to let you line up a tranq headshot.

Unless the gameplay is drastically rebalanced as well for better controllers, it is inevitable that Peace Walker will have the most unsatisfying gameplay of any MGS console game.

Yep, the shooting still looks pretty clunky, and the game looks like a PSP title...in glorious HD!

Its a shame that Konami didn't decide to spend the money to upgrade the in-game assets in this game to be HD quality. It probably would've taken an extra 6 months, but they could've justified that by selling this for $40 standalone game titled as MGS5. 
 
Don't let the graphics fool you though, its a great game, and to top it off its 4 player co-op. Its going to be a great game to go through with your friends over Xbox Live. 
 
And yes, Konami has said they'll be releasing all 3 titles from the HD Collection seperately on PSN/XBLA. 
 
I think people will be absolutely floored when they see MGS3 in HD. For a PS2 game, it holds up *surprisingly* well.

Judging by the comments, this is no representative, however boy did that look like a bad game.

Why release that? It seems unplayable...

This video was badly encoded. Its a 1080i video (interlaced), resized to 720p and re-encoded onto youtube. I would hold judgement until we see a proper 720p@60FPS capture of this game.

Its definitely playable. The person who was playing was horrific. And the video itself is bad quality. Konami's PR did a bad job here.

MGS2 and 3 HD are being made by Bluepoint Games, who did God of War HD and Ico/SOTC HD. They should be fine.
 
Peace Walker HD is being made internally at Kojima Productions, and according to them the E3 demo was an "early" version, so it could still improve.
