Also, MGS is available on PSN so Nintendo can't stop Konami from rereleasing that build of the game as many times as they want.

Nintendo has rights to Twin Snakes, but not standard MGS.

Personally, I think Kojima should remake Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 with current gen hardware.

It would actually be nice to play as Solid Snake again, in the missions that made him the famous commando he's respected as in the MG universe.

MGS-Solid Snake, but poisoned and living on borrowed time.

MGS 2-Only half the game. I have NO problem with Raiden whatsoever, and am looking forward to Rising, but still wanted to keep playing as Snake.

MGS 3-Naked Snake.

MGS 4-Old Snake.

Now, I understand that it's an evolving world and in terms of gameplay, it's all the same. But Kojima emphasizes game narrative and storytelling as a part of the MG core experience.

That being the case, as he wants me to appreciate the characters and events, I feel I'm entitled to my desire, as a fan, to be able to play as Solid Snake more when he was in his prime.

Also, I've never heard Kojima state he hates Twin Snakes. I've heard he hates the NES versions of MG and Snake's Revenge. It may be true. He may, in fact, hate Twin Snakes. I've just never heard about it.

I knew this would be coming along and I'll definitely pick it up once I see it on sale during the Black Friday X-Mas rush. It would have been nice for the OG MGS to be included, even if they bump up the price slightly like the did for the original release of the Metal Gear Solid PS2 Collection. I'm glad I sold that one in time.

Sly Cooper is on clearance for 15 bucks at Target if anyone wants to check it out. Now just gotta wait for Splinter Cell HD to drop and for Jak & Daxter to have a remaster.

I'm buying this to get a home console version of PEACE WALKER.

Holy.Fucking.Shit.

I'm so happy and ecstatic.

Online play via Adhoc Party should be pretty sweet.

anyone who has never played ZOE2 should definitely look into this collection when it comes out. the 2nd runner is WAYYYY better than the first one. easily one of my all-time favorite games, and i think it's one of the best games of that generation. so many awesome/epic moments. you have to try it out if you've never played it.

god i wish they would make a third one.

What is an Ender? And why is there a videogame dedicated to their allocated area?

I'm glad they put a little thought into the achievements, unlike Capcom with the RE4 rerelease.

This is out in just over a week. I'm debating if I want to spend the extra 20 bucks on the collectors edition, it only has an art book. I'm not sure its worth the extra money.

Yeah hell Capcom could have at least shot for 60fps and made the definitive RE4 experience. Cheap bastards. I'm grateful that Kojima is going the extra mile on his projects.

Oh, damn. If that one for dog tags means all dog tags across all difficulties in both the Tanker and the Big Shell, that's gonna be a grind and a half.

I think that will be easy enough, it will just take a while. Beating every VR Mission is going to be hard.

EDIT: Referring to gathering all the dog tags.

Me too. It'll be worth it for Peace Walker alone -- that game is amazing.

Hell it'll be worth it to actually play it on a controller that makes it, well, playable! Don't get me wrong, Peace Walker was as playable as it could be on the limited PSP controls. Sadly it played horribly. Thank you second analog stick.

PS3 for me too. Playing a MGS game with a 360 controller just sounds unnatural.

As others have said, PS3 all the way. MGS feels right on a Dualshock. That and if I can help it I like playing 3D games with a Dualshock style controller.

As odd as it would be to play an MGS game on the 360 pad, it'd be a hell of a lot better than playing MGS2 with the old Xbox pad. Christ, that sucked.

And without the slowdown when you were on the tanker in the rain. That was always a WTF moment for me.

Some of those Peace Walker achievements are going to be very rough, by the way. Getting S ranks is hard, and even unlocking all the extra ops takes a long time. I logged almost 100 hours on that game and I was nowhere near that rank in every mission.

Getting the platinum will be time consuming and difficult. Crazy.

At least there's no co-op nonsense though. I hate multiplayer achievements.
