Sounds good. I loved MGS2 back in the day. I'm really excited for the Zone of the Enders HD stuffs as well. Never played the second one.

Actually if anyone has seen the Konami pre E3 video @ Game Trailers, it pretty clear that MGS5 will be multiplat. I just died a little inside when he chose the X360 controller to demo its new game engine that will power their next games... he just hovered over the PS3 and picked the X360 controller! What a sad day for PS gamers. Never will we see what Kojima could truly do with the Black Beast...

I definitely will get it, cause I never played either of the three games. There were rumors that Peace Walker will be coming to PS3 when it was launched on PSP, I didn't even bother buying it and waited for it instead.

They more than certainly strong armed him into doing this for pure revenue. It's sad really. I would have rather these games stayed on their respective systems on the brand they belong, then be sold out to M$ for a quick buck. No doubt why Kojima was so depressed. At least we can keep the sanctity of MGS1 to ourselves and without it they are still missing a large piece of the MGS puzzle HAHA!!!

Is actually a smart move, MGS isn't actually very well know by the general 360 owner, so they need to put this to hype the release of Rising.

Thinking the same thing I could understand if they was doing it for the Nintendo cuz a MGS title did appear on the GC. I guess since the 360 is getting Metal Gear solid rising as well and they feel the xbots need something other than one MGS title.

This is still a problem to you guys? Come on. The Playstation is in a much different position now than it was last gen. Last gen it took up a huge part of the market, mainly because it didn't have any competition at one point of it's lifetime and that paved way for more titles (and making exclusives for it became the norm). Now it seems that Microsoft learned from last gen and has a larger part of the market. The 360 is still the preference to American gamers. Times have changed guys; pretty soon they'll be no more 3rd party exclusives left

Then just sit there and dawdle, complaining about a change that's going to happen regardless. If your not going to accept the fact things are different than go ahead, but it really don't make you look good. I don't approve of this myself, because it shows that developers are more more into profit than about providing good quality titles *cough* Call of Duty *cough*. It's sad to see the industry go towards the path of hollywood, but it's well on it's way there.

They're considering the fact the 360 does better in sales in the US than the PS3. Looking at it's numbers, they're not going to just let go of a lot of potential consumers. They will think only focusing on the PS3 will keep them from earning more sales. Why else has there been so many multiplats this gen? Yes, the 360 is inferior compared to the PS3, but so is the Wii...and look at progress it make after about 5 years.

As I said, go ahead and do it and clearly you're not alone (given this site's preference) so that doesn't concern me. And by "not making you look good" I mean to say "it makes you seem immature-ish", especially over something that was more than likely to happen. I apologize if that offends you, but that's just how I look at it.

Once again a flawed argument as the MGS series has always sold better in Japan than in the US where you so say the 360 holds a stronger position (though I'm pretty sure the shift has been going in favour of SONY globally for months now). Even then it's more then one market and obviously more PS3 fans enjoy the MGS series than say the 360 fan base so another point against it. Overall the PS3 consumer demographic should be of higher priority than a Multi-system approach to an exclusive series, The fans should be treated to any remakes of their classic games that they enjoyed by being a loyal customer in the PS1 days and should be getting the HD remakes exclusively without hesitation. But in the corporate world greed overpowers loyalty and Kojima is ashamed of Konami I am sure.

What's this about 'flawed logic'? I'm saying it as it is. Yes, the PS3 is stronger globally, but it's a still a fact that the xbox still outsells it in the US. I'm not an Xbot or a fan boy but it's hard to argue against something so painfully obvious. There's no doubt that the MGS sells well in Japan, but I'm saying the company was actively looking at the 360's American fanbase and took it into consideration. That's one of the reasons why it's multiplatform. It would've been better as an exclusive imo, but they already made up their minds.

The series by and large is over anyway. There's no point in getting upset in previous titles coming to new audiences now. The journey of Snake is over now. Why not let as many people enjoy these games? Besides people there isn't just Metal Gear Solid missing but before then too. As with other series it usually ends up being opened up on other platforms after a certain point usually like this eventually no matter what. I for one am fine with it because it means people who never bothered to by a specific system for this series might actually get a chance for the first time, albeit a really incomplete way of experiencing the story. Playing ME without ME2 has nothing on this comparison.

Don't talk to me about Rising, no that is not a continuation of the series proper.

The 360 is getting it because every single MGS game other than mgs4 and the psp games have already been on a microsoft product guys. It's not like they were all exclusives before people. They all eventually came out on the original xbox, pc, as well as a gc one.

This thread became pretty unreadable quickly. Instead of rejoicing over the fact that we could play ZoE and Peace Walker in HD it turns into how mad everyone is that the games will be on 360.

This isn't MGS5 being announced multiplatform. These are 5-10 year old games being re-released for a quick buck on current consoles. The 360 versions will in no-way shape or form make the PS3 versions inferior or "dumbed down". If anything, it just means the 360 versions will have multiple discs. Not to mention MGS2: Substinence was already on the orginal Xbox. This isn't anything new, really.

Zone of the Enders was one of my favorite games on the PS2, as was MGS2. I never had a chance to play ZoE2 or MGS3 so this announcement is sweet.

Be happy you will get to play these games if you haven't. TGIF, people.

@Ishkur,
You don't know me very well do you? I'd personally be just as irritated that it was going to PC. the franchise really belongs on PlayStation, and the singular aberration on the Xbox does not alter that.

@Jimmy,
I don't know how unreadable it became, opinionated perhaps, but not unreadable. The day we see a re-mastered Halo 1 & 2 coming to the PS3 is the day I will start believing that platform exclusivity no longer matters. Until then, forgive me for thinking that platform exclusivity does in fact matter.

@ Highlander

Your posts are never unreadable. They're very thought out, articulate, and well, opinionated, ha.

Like I said I understand the argument against multiplatform titles vs. exclusive titles for this generation (see: LA Noire losing content once it was made to fit on 360), but for HD remastered titles from previous generations of consoles? For better or worse, 3rd party exclusivity is dying (or dead) and HD "collections" are a quick way to make money without putting in all the time and money into making a brand new game.

It makes sense for Konami and I don't really get why it angers so many people. I can look over at MGS2 for my PS2 on my shelf and not think it has diminished in value because it will now be on Xbox 360.

Love the fact that Konami is introducing their 2 best series (in my opinion) of yesteryear to a broader audience. I don't know why its believed that 360 owners are less deserving of playing these games.

EXACTLY and don't forgot on Gamecube too. MGS was never exclusive to Playstation other than the titles you just mentioned. Just because the best in the series have been on Playstation doesn't make it 'Sony owned'. In fact it really started with Nintendo, but you wouldn't call it a Nintendo franchise, right?
Unless the words and symbol of Sony Computer Entertainment are on the front box, the developers can move to whatever platform they want.

@TheHighlander
How can Halo ever make it to the PS3 if it's a first party game? That's like saying Uncharted could go multiplat

yes, the series has appeared on other consoles, but how far did that take it? where did the series get its recognition? where did it get the most support? what kept pushing it forward? certainly not Nintendo and it damn sure wasn't Microsoft.

At all the MS hate stems from them (probably literally) throwing money get games. It happened with Castlevania, it happened with Resident Evil, it happened with Devil may Cry, it happened with Final Fantasy. Need i go on? But the point is, once those games went to Xbox, the quality AND content both suffered greatly. Microsoft doesn't seem to care about the affect they are having on the industry, all they care about is how much money they can make off it it.

Also, I wonder why MGS is included in the package??

I don't care what price is put on this collection, it is mine!

November is a good, very good month.

But one more thing... Why the hell would you put it on the 360!? I've read the comments above but I'm still un-happy about it. The MGS 2 and 3 don't bother me all that much but Peace walker? Come on! This is a joke right!? These games have nothing to do with the "MGS" Rising any ways. Snake isn't in it. I hate Rising!!!

But I'll forgive you once I get this MGS HD collection running on my PS3 this November.. maybe..

Well...MSG2,3, and peacewalker have never seen the PS3 or xbox 360 prior anyway so I doubt they're going to be 'dumbed down'. FFXIII is a good example of a game that suffers from being dumbs down, but remembering how Square put in a lot of effort in defending the cuts, I don't think developers who are likely to try dumbing down titles for other systems will even care.

Kojima-san should leave Konami and make his own game studio, a Sony first party studio even. I'm sure Sony won't think twice before buying his studio. He may not be able to make MGS anymore but at least he will be free to do whatever he wants and achieve his goals that is only possible on the PlayStation.

If anything there's a slight chance that MGS5 might be a PS3 exclusive. I say 'slight' because adding their previous games to the xbox 360's library can be seen as a way of 'migrating' the series to it. That's a really big deal, because it can impact future titles. But if Kojima really want his next game to surpass MGS4, he knows he needs to use every amount of technological power he can (something that can't be done with multiplatform restrictions).

You do know that Kojima is now VP of Konami. He ain't leaving anytime soon. And Kojima Productions is actually a separate studio within Konami, so a buyout isn't outside the realm of possibility. It won't happen though, due to Kojima's high standing within the parent company.
Peace.

If the final fantasy remake rumour turns out to be true, I'm half expecting the announcement to be made during the 360 conference, subsequent to which that square enix CEO will march out with a broad smile on his face, as if to say "see, look how westernised we are; we are still relevant in todays gaming world".

Ironically, their increasing irrelevance has been largely self inflicted.

So now that Konami want everything to go multi-plat, I sure hope Kojima puts his foot down & absolutely "REFUSES" to dumb-down any of his future MGS's just because of any other console of less disc-abilities.

Well I don't think that's going to happen. Kojima just showed off his new game engine, that was built from the ground up to be multiplat.

I was watching the interview and there is a DS3, mouse, and 360 controller. He moves his hand over all three, then picks the 360 controller. I can honestly say I felt a little sad inside when he did that.

I had figured that he would pick up the DS3 to show that he still supports his fans...but no... He picked up the controller that every time I see I picture COD, Halo, and screaming fanboys...

Oh and finding out that Peace Walker is going to be on 360 almost made me cry.

So true. I don't understand all the rage, IMHO it's unjustified.
KONAMI wants and needs a quick buck and that's why they are doing this. Besides, Metal Gear hasn't been a PS exclusive. Son's of Liberty was on xbox. The Twin Snakes was on the Game Cube (and you could argue Nintendo is Metal Gear's home because the original series launches on the NES).
The PS3 alone doesn't cut it by itself, if a developer leaves the xbox out, they will leave lots of $$$ on the table for lost game sales.
Even INSOMNIAC (2nd Party) realized this and they have begun making games for the PS3/360.

Even though I own all 3 games, I'll still buy this. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a die hard fanboy for MGS, nor the fact that I really want to play though them all again. It also has nothing to do with how this is one of 3 game franchises that I've played and beat every single canon game either. Ok... I lied a little. But the fact that this collection, if its anything like the others, will have trophy support which will finally give me more than enough reason to play through them all again is just perfect. I sank over 100 hours into Peace Walker. And probably around the same combined for the other 2. The only way this would be any better is if it had the first game, and the rest of the canon games would be a nice bonus. I'd also be mad about it all going to 360, but honestly, people just need to accept that by now. Yeah, it sucks, we lost a major exlusive. But really, who cares? Does this make this game any less awesome? Does this even have any effect on you? I used to hate Xbox too, then I actually thought about it and realized it was dumb.

I will say that it isn't the 360 I have a disgust for but rather Microsoft's influence/practices that have stained the sanctity of the gaming industry this gen.

I like "gaming systems" and 360 fall into that category but I've always been a firm believer that all gaming systems should all be unique and have the majority of their library filled with exclusives. The 360 is becoming nothing more than a PS3 clone.

Everytime I a PS3 exclusive I say to myself, "man, the PS3 hasn't even begun".

Also for anyone interested, Peace Walker is by far the most fun I've ever had with any MGS game. If you're anything like me, you'll be a little iffy with the story, but trust me when I say that gameplay was easily the best portable experience I've ever had and honestly, it even tops some current console games. The only draw back was the lack of a crawl ability... and unfortunately I'm serious. But trust me, this games amazing.

EDIT: I can agree with what you're saying there. Microsoft have been negatively impactful during this generation. I don't mind some of the exclusive they've taken, but when it comes to stuff like them buying exclusivity for things like DLC, that's where I get annoyed.

Lesson learned: The only exclusive games that would forever remain exclusive are those made by Sony's own studios. At least Sony had the foresight to invest on their own development studios instead of buying (timed) exclusivity from third-party devs. And better yet, there's no shortage of awesome first-party titles on the horizon!

I already own the MGS Essential Collection, but I'll be damned if I don't pick this up for Peace Walker alone! Excited to see ZoE also, since I haven't gotten around to playing them yet.

Oh, and yeah I'm disappointed about it going to the 360, but look at it this way. How many years have 2 and 3 been exclusive to Playstation? Also, these games are too good to not be experienced by many more. I just hope the Xbots can appreciate these...

I can see what the fuss is about, but I also believe in an eye for an eye.

360 got Final Fantasy, so PS3 got Bioshock

PS3 got Mass Effect, so 360 got Metal Gear Solid

Also, aside from all the Xbot fans boasting the demise of PS3 exclusivity, I think it's great that 360 players will finally get a taste of some great games that they've been missing out on. Plus, some may want to try MGS4 after playing these and therefore wind up buying a PS3, finding that free online is cool and Blu-ray is pretty cool, play Uncharted 2 to see what the fuss is about and HEY PRESTO!! A new PS3 fan is born.

I'm not too sure about that.

Something tells me that ta vast majority of the 360 getting the MGS collection, still won't get them motivated enough to purchase a PS3.

And believe me, we can do well enough without most of the whining, racist, sexually perverted rug rats, pre-tween ankle biters & older but still-immature post-juvenile delinquent smack-talkers bombarding the PS3.

Great, there goes my wallet. First God of War Collection, then Sly Collection, then Team ICO Collection, then Splinter Cell Collection, now a Metal Gear Solid, Zone of the Enders AND Silent Hill Collection?!?!?!

Only collections missing are Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. If they're announced this E3, my dream collection will be complete. :D

Hi:

Well, these are EXCELLENT news. I don't know why there isn't Metal Gear Solid in this "HD Collection". I would prefer Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence instead of MGS3 - Snake Eater. About the 1080p, I REALLY hope it will be on Full HD (1920x1080 at 60fps) and not that crappy resolution of MGS4.

Its a shame the 1st title in the original trilogy couldn't make it though(I'm sure it has nothing to do with being multi-platform :p).

After wading through the fanboy butt pain & pathetic crocodile tears responses in this hard-to-read thread, i truly cannot understand the logic behind fanboys. It's actually kinda cute :)

I mean if this was a new next gen ready MGS going multiplat, then maybe you would have a reason to sob & whimper in the corner, but this is an HD remake of Sons of Liberty & Snake Eater, two games which are old now, excluding Peace Walker which isn't exactly fresh anymore. Are we really stressing over 5+ year old games going multiplat now!? Freakin' wow!

True MGS fans will appreciate this game reaching a wider audience & enhancing it's fanbase. I'm personally glad 360 are getting this even though i will be buying it on PS3 myself.

I mean hell, the PoP trilogy stayed PS3 exclusive & those games were on the original Xbox, but hey that's fine huh!?

The problem is how some people forget that MGS never was really a Sony exclusive franchise. MG1 & 2 started on MSX computers but later ported on Nintendo and updated on Playstation 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 was on Playstation 2 and Substance was released early on Xbox. MGS3 was already announced for the 3DS. Heck, even the original MGS1 which became popular after starting on Playstation got ported to PC, Dreamcast, but was only updated graphically for the Gamecube. Also, they are having MGS: Rising on the Xbox 360 as well, so they probably also brought over the HD remakes to give Xbox players a chance to experience Metal Gear before trying it out. So only MGS4 is Sony exclusive. It's too bad though that Twin Snakes won't be added to the collection. Maybe if they ever consider doing another update for the original Metal Gears?

Alright, haven't read any of the comments yet, so if anyone else has said this, don't sue me. HELLZ YAH! Now, I've already got all three of these games for their respective systems, but that doesn't mean that I'm not getting this day 1. That being said, I have a couple of issues.
1) Clearly Konami are putting pressure on Kojima. He seemingly wanted to keep the MGS series off the 360, and yet both Rising and this new set are coming. What are the odds that MGS4 does eventually get the port treatment?
2) I know that it's already available on the Store, but why not include the original MGS in this set, or even Twin Snakes? I'm sure you all know my reasoning for this desire by now, and I would be happy even if it was little more than an up-res version of the original PS1 game. It's not as if there'd be any difficulty to it, I mean it's already been ported FFS.
3) This also makes it seem as though Kojima is having difficulty breaking away from MGS. It's clearly the money maker franchise, but they just keep getting churned out, and I find that saddening. I want to see the master do something different.

On the other hand, a ZoE Classics HD set makes me wonder if perhaps a third game is coming. There hasn't yet been a compilation without a new game on the way, as Sly had the teaser for 4, PoP was basically filling in around The Forgotten Sands for people that may have missed the originals, and there are rumblings of a PS3 port of SC:Conviction, as well as the unofficial announcement of SC:Retribution.
Peace.

This is excellent news for me. I've not played any of the MGS prior to mgs4, and quite frankly that was just like seeing the last few minutes of a film: I did not understand jackshit of why it received such rave reviews. An old man about to die? Some clown monkey? Jokes about farting and puking inside your face mask? It was all just ridiculous, and not in a good way.

Now I get a chance to put it all into perspective and quite frankly, I've missed that!

Well if it is at all relevent, it was people that supported Microsofts xbox 360 that , out of nowhere, began claiming the destruction of the PS3 and bashed it any chance they got in the very beginning. So "this hatred" wasn't initiated by Playstation fans, I would like to think.

I honestly think that one of the main reasons Playstation loyalist have a problem with former exclusives going to the 360 is that it usually means the PS3 version/set isn't going to get or be what it could have solely for the sake of being "identical" to the inferior console.

Indeed ShadowScorpio, had fans of another console not spent the last 5 years boasting and bragging about every franchise that lost it's PlayStation exclusivity and proclaiming the 'pwnage' and death of Sony I might be less inclined to be annoyed. That fanboy BS is in my mind the genesis for the tidal wave of hatred aimed at Sony - PARTICULARLY - in North America. Odd how the company behind the other console is very specifically US based and it is the US that harbors the most baseless disregard and outright hate for Playstation and Sony in general. This console generation has been notable for one thing in my mind - other than the exceptional exclusive games we've seen on each platform. That thing is the outright hatred sown and cultivated against Sony. Part of that has been the dump trucks of slush fund spent by another console maker wooing away former exclusive franchises to timed or complete exclusivity on another platform. The polarization, rivalry and hatred engendered is tearing parts of the industry to pieces.

I here ya Highlander.

I understand people's argument about how the PS2 didn't have competition on the same level as PS2 las gen. Having competition is fine but MS has really used some dishonerable tactics. Nintendo has more money than Sony and Microsoft combined but you never saw them do what Ms did this gen. Which is ironic because Nintendo and Sony have had a rocky relationship in the past.

My point here can also be expressed by the fact that you don't see nearly as much distain for Nintendo on this site as you see for Microsoft. Nintendo is , as I see it, more respected here than MS. I know I respect them more. If Apple can into the game industry with a new console, I'm inclined to believe that would go the route of Sony and Nintendo -Inspiring quality and ingenuity, actually doing honest good for the game industry.

So, yeah the only good that MS has done for this industry is helping Sony become stronger and helping Sony realize how important keeping the Playstation brand in the gaming industry really is.

I doubt that it's the 360's markets share so much, as it's probably more probable that M$ probably just did another one of their now-patented, middle-of-the-night, loaded armored truck convoy drive-by's, right in front of Konami's favorite bank of choice.

With all the great games with new adventures coming out around that time frame, this collection will have to wait.

It's very ironic how things turned out here. About two months ago, everyone on here was hoping for remakes of past MGS games for the PS3. Instead of being happy about it, there's nothing but anger and frustration over the fact the xbox is getting it too. All this talk of 'holding back because of an inferior console' is irrelevant, due to the fact the games are based on last-gen games. And the series were NEVER owned by Sony, yet some folks are saying it is. After all the times I visited this site, I did not expect to see this kind of reaction. It really doesn't make you seem better than the Xbots that made those MGS remarks. I'll just let the Soldier express my thoughts for me...

Don't blow things out of proportion.

All I see are a ton of posts from people who want both collections, and no more than one or two people complaining that it went to the 360. THEN I see a whole lot MORE posts from the unbiased police attacking them with a holier than thou attitude...which you are now currently expressing.

There appear to be just as many people willing to come out of the woodworks screaming, "I'm not a fanboy" than anyone insulting the 360 or MS for any reason. So you can all just stop now.

Sonic, be a little objective here.

You don't think every single MGS fan here isn't excited for this collection?! Come on. This is a site where we can express our excitement and our frustrations, hence your post being an example.

People are entitled to not agree with the decision of these collections going to 360 as much as they are entitled to not have a problem with it.

It's actually the people on here saying things like, "Instead of being happy that we are getting the MGS collection, people are upset that 360 is getting too", that is kind of starting to irritate me.

I believe if the PS3 has caught on day one and not year two or three many of these game series that were exclusives or a year exclusives on the PS2 would remain exclusives to the PS3. I don't blame these companies for hedging their bets by making these series available to the 360 due to the PS3 coming out of the gate slow.

Now I think the MGS remakes won't get much play on the 360 cuz it doesn't have a Call of Duty in the title or it doesn't have guns that have chainsaws built in them.

I think M$ just want these games on their system just for them and their fans can say ha ha we have this game too. What I say to that keep saying that because it seems anytime Xbots crow about the PS3 losing an exclusive they lose an exclusive.

Not sure if this question was already asked or not, but does anyone know if the control scheme for MGS2 and 3 will be updated? I sure hope there's an option.

They will NEVER get Metal Gear Solid 1 (still my favorite MGS)

But yes Peace Walker will be nice.

MGS 3 = one of the very best games EVER. Also pumped for Peace Walker on PS3. I honest to god tried to play it on PSP, and enjoyed it, but MGS NEEDS dual thumb sticks. Also, finding other players to team up with for some missions and bosses is a central component of the game and getting PSP to go online for this was such a pain in the butt I gave up.

I actually played MGS 2 again for the first time in like 10 years last year -- every bit as terrible as I remember, a serious misstep for the franchise in my opinion. Staggering how well they rebounded with MGS 3 and, of course, 4.

Oh yes all my dreams have come at once for the MGS series that is at least ZOE can come or go but MGS is where it's at. Who cares if the 360 gets the game or not ? I sure as hell don't. And I do own both consoles but I'd rather it came on the PS3 as I love the controller simples :)

Were getting it on the PS3 guys be greatfull that it's coming to the console at all!

Im pretty confident Kojima was peed off with the fact that he had spent ages remaking Mgs1 for ps3 with the mgs4 engine, but had to scrap it due to Konami's wish for the collection to be released on xbox.

Wrote that like an idiot, but hope you get the jist.

Question... why no inclusion of the first game? I would've LOVED to have seen The Twin Snakes in HD as part of this collection. I know it was exclusive to the GameCube back then but exclusivity obviously means nothing when MGS3 and Peace Walker are now showing up on the 360. I'm psyched for this collection but it just seems incomplete without the first title. I personally would've had MGS 1-3 in the collection and then a digital release of Peace Walker instead.

I would've liked to have seen the whole MG/MGS series, along with Twin Snakes, the 2 Acids & 2 Ops, plus the MGS Database & graphical novel(oh hell, even add Rising in too), all done up as a one complete boxed set.

IMO, that alone would be the #1 biggest monster of any collection in the history of gaming.

Hmm.. I'm not sure what to make of this.. Sony had a pretty novel idea with these HD collections. They took older games , cranked them up to HD, ironed out all their technical flaws and generally made them better than they used to be.

I'm not sure if multiplat developers will put as much care into their HD collections as Sony does. Look at what happened with the Prince of Persia collection.. They basically just cranked up the resolution of the ingame graphics and called it a day.. All the game's technical flaws were still present and the CG cutscenes were still in blurry SD..

I sincerely hope that Konami does a better job than Ubisoft did.
