Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection Sneaks Into Stores Soon

David Hayter!!!

I have all the Metal Gear Games except Peace Walker... I want this. I want this bad.

I wonder if it's all the updated, + versions (like subsistence and stuff). I'm glad the original MGS is there instead of Twin Snakes, also.

Hell yes feinitely picking this up. I wish more publishers would do this with their series that span multiple console generations.

Hmmm...So there like 3 hours of game play and 200 hours of cut scenes with this set?

I'm gonna guess that its gonna either be a code for the psn version or install that version off the disc. Also Twin Snakes would have to be ported from the GameCube.

More importantly, no Acid 1/2!

I'm pretty sure everyone asking for Portable Ops has never played Portable Ops. If you had you wouldn't be asking for it.

Should have Twin Snakes but I guess the Nintendo specific bits in it mean its never gonna happen

Aww, no Twin Snakes? Not sure if that is considered part of the saga, it's so hard to follow it anyway..

Great, now I can get my dose of convoluted fiction in one convenient package. (slightly kidding!)

Pretty weird that they didn't announce this during E3.

And as others mentioned, this is missing the two Acid games and Portable Ops. Let's not forget the Game Boy one, heh.

Konami can't commit the resources to port a five year old game to another platform. At this stage in the life of the Xbox 360 it just doesn't make business sense.

DAmmit! I've got the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection sitting here, unstarted staring me in the face and they pull this shit?

Guys, these are classic games.

I agree with Twin Snakes not being all that crazy in comparison. Yeah, the missile jump and the spinning backflip before the Sniper Wolf fight are crazy, but I played MGS3, then Twin Snakes, then 2 and 4, and didn't realize until after all of that that Twin Snakes was any different than the original in those crazy scenes. You mention Grey Fox holding up the REX leg, but don't forget Raiden holding back an entire fucking Arsenal Gear in MGS4.

I kinda wish it it came with portable ops, but I can understand why since the game uses one analog stick which made it weird to play.

Oh that is gross. I JUST bought the stupid HD collection. F you guys, Konami. F you long, F you hard.

I think it's also worth noting that in Twin Snakes, they removed Mei Ling's Chinese accent (which never made sense given that she was American), a change that was ALSO in MGS4, meaning that it is the canonical version of her voice.

Also, who cares? I played Twin Snakes first, thus Twin Snakes is always going to be how I view that game. Other people didn't, and that's fine. We shouldn't be arguing over which is better, instead we should all just agree that Metal Gear (the franchise) is rad.

Is this version of Metal Gear going to have the Fuck Me code?

I am a huge MGS fan and I thought about pulling the trigger on this when I saw it came with an Art Book even though I already own all the games. However instead I decided to put that 50 bucks towards a more significant actual standalone Art Book. Looking forward to some Yoji Shinkawa goodness.

I own most of these games in different forms already and im STILL getting this. thats how good these games are. and how deranged I am. but mostly... yeah its the games

I don't have the time nor the patience

No, just... no. I defended Kojima to the last, and liked MGS2 a great deal, and even I was recently shocked how stupid Guns of Patriots was.

Okay kids, your summer holiday homework is to play through the entire Metal Gear franchise and prepare a 20 page report on the overarching story, how you feel about it and conclude with what are your expectations for Metal Gear Solid V.

I really wish this was coming to the UK/Europe. Doesn't look like it will.

Oh wow, me and a buddy literally bought a copy each of the HD collection yesterday. Bad timing!

Still bummed about the lack of portable ops. It's Almost all of metal gear... Wish they could've just got the last piece of the puzzle. Do I need to buy a PSP go so I can Bluetooth sync PS3 controller to it and play on my TV?

Where's my Metal Gear Acid collection available for play on PS3 from the Playstation Store? Get on it, Konami!

Order. Placed.

I've already bought the Limited Edition HD collection and MGS 4. I still have my copies of: MGS, VR Missions, MGS 2 Substance, Documents of MGS 2 and MGS 3 Subsistence. There is no reason for me to buy the Legacy collection. Its disappointing that Xbox 360 users don't get the chance to play all the other games not included in the HD collection.

I just want to buy the art book. I wished that Portable Ops or the Acid games were available on PSN and not just for PSP/Vita. I liked to play Twin Snakes but Nintendo owns the rights to that game. I wonder if the voice cast gets royalties for all the re-releases that have been put out.

Totally pointless if you already have MGS4, I guess unless you're enough of a MGS collector to want the graphic novels (I, for one, couldn't care less).

It's otherwise the same thing as the already-existing HD Collection, aside from the vouchers for MGS1 and VR Missions (important: they are NOT physical discs). Once this is released, I'm sure you'll be able to find the HD Collection for super cheap, so if you do have MGS4, something I imagine true of lots of PS3 owners, you'd probably be better off just buying that and then the two downloadable titles separately if need be.

I guess if you're new to the series though, this is for you. Shame MGS3 doesn't have Snake vs. Monkey.

I would jump on this instantly if MGS was a disc release. Instead it's a download, so screw that.

Kojima never really acknowledges the Acid games or Twin Snakes a lot. I loved the first Acid but never played the sequel which I heard was a bit of a mess.

I don't know why people complain about new collections, if you already own the games in HD you don't need to buy this; you will miss nothing. Otherwise this is a great intro for newcomers and for people who want to play the HD versions. I just wish all of games were on discs.

I will buy this. Also, Metal Gear Solid is the best.

No one man should have all that Metal Gear.

why.... are they using a pretend version of The Rock theme song for the trailer

Man that is weird

@ajayraz: Kojima stated Portable Ops won't be in this because he wasn't involved in it's development in any direct way

This edition feels rather pointless to me since I already own the HD collection.

man this just twists the knife, on top of getting an inferior hd collection on the 360 i don't think i'm gonna be playing 4 any time soon without dropping serious dough for a sony console

that's fine though, i don't need to see old people crying

Aww why is the 360 version inferior? I just had an urge to play MGS2 and 3 but my PS2 won't turn on so I was going to buy the 360 HD version... What's wrong with it?

So the original Metal Gear Solid in this collection is just a PSN download code? I already own that. I was hoping for trophies to be added in it at least.

You're not gonna see Portable Ops in this collection because it wasn't directed by Kojima.

Epic. Only played MGS3 and MGS4. no ps3 though...so we'll see if I ever get around to these.

@gregoryc: I came here to ask that, but I could have sworn I saw some Twin Snakes cinematics in this trailer. Maybe I'm wrong.

Go Metal Gear Go!

I'm going to play through MGS4 again ( haven't played it through since 2009). MGS3 was my favorite so far.

Does anyone remember the massive machine gun at the end of MGS3? If you fire it for long enough, Snakes gives a war cry!

No kidding! I even own Portable Ops on PSN but the Vita can't run it for some reason...where's the love, Kojima?

ONLY 20 PAGES? I can't possibly fit it all in there!

No, you hope it's priced cheaply. If it were priced fairly it'd be about $150.

does it have MGS 2 Substance's VR Missions and MGS 3 Substinance camera options?

@doppelgamer: that happen, it was on the gamecube. It was called the twin snakes
