Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy also coming to PS3?

mgs1 HD-remastered trilogies seem to be big right now for Sony. This trend, it seems, will not stop with Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, or Team Ico. Rumor has it that war will change yet again because Sony is giving Solid Snake and Metal Gear Solid the same treatment.

According to "insider whispers" picked up by UK's Official PlayStation Magazine, the first three Metal Gear Solid games are now in the "facelift queue" and that they will be re-released in a high-definition trilogy collection. There's no word on whether this collection will be released in physical copies, digital PSN downloads, or both, but the idea is a tempting prospect however Sony decides to release it.

There's also no word on which versions of the games will be remastered.

The only game in the series to hit the PS3 is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which was released way back in June 2008. Since Metal Gear Solid: Rising isn't due until 2012, it'd make a lot of sense to have Snake making noise in 2011.

It's funny you say that because I was hoping it WOULD be Twin Snakes. MGS is already on PSN and it's already upscaled. I think Twin Snakes is much closer to an HD MSG.

On a Side note, why Glenn, isn't it obvious that the trilogy should include MGS, MGS2: Sons of Liberty (or Substance) and MGS3: Snake Eater (or Subsistence)? MGS4: Guns of the Patriots is already in HD. Unless Kojima and Konami wanted to do a "MGS Retro: Big Boss" Trilogy and include the 2 PSP ones in HD along with Snake Eater, I think the selections should be obvious.

(/My three cents)

I wouldn't mind a remake of Metal Gear.

Quoting Glenn M.:

i'd love to play the first MGS in HD! still one of my favorite games to this day

Well there is the gamecube twin snakes game. Not in HD, but much better graphics than the original PS1 game.

I don't know about this game, remakes are great and all but I already played this game too much.

Guaranteed purchase right here. I will pay $60 for this if they sell it for that price.

Sony give back our PS2 backwards compatibility by releasing a small piece of hardware whcih will emulate PS2 games!

if you bought one of the early cech models, there is other ways to play those games, you just have to research.

-1 # DAMN ! OMG ! — john 2011-01-22 19:10

Team Ico and MGS are the best, Prince of Persia is for teens, and Tomb Raider is just a shame that those games were made, not that much of the Tomb Raider-feel

I'd buy MGS, damn image a new trick for defeating mantis... damn this sounds more than good...

maybe isnt true...

-1 # WOW! — Jepper 2011-01-22 20:02

I'm hoping that this is true, never got a chance to play Snake Eater (though I know the story). More better to pay 60 bucks for HD rather than buying a PS2 and the game.

You should have bought a PS2 it's the best console ever!!! Trust me buying a PS2 now is still worth it! It has over 500 awesome exclusive games! I think it's got more exclusive games then every console apart from the Nintendo DS which has around 560 exclusives. PS2 RULES!!!

I'll pass it. I'm more of Sam Fisher's fan.

But pirates will be expecting it to play for free, once it's on the net to download.

No problem, lad.

Want a cup of tea?

I'm just kd'in.

I would prefer that they make a remake of the 2 first games for 3DS, considering the 3rd already is in the making. Also a shout-out to Naughty Dog: where is my Jak and Dextar collection! announce it already!

-1 # RE: Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy also coming to PS3? — soppyhankins 2011-01-23 19:51

It would be awesome if they remade all the games using the MGS4 engine. But I know that's too much to ask for and would alter the game too much.

-1 # RE: Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy also coming to PS3? — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2011-01-24 09:52

Yes! Please do and 'Zone Of The Enders: The Second Runner' too PLEASE!!!

-3 # RE: Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy also coming to PS3? — Tron 2011-02-02 01:08

HD remakes are a given nowadays. If older PS2 and PS1 games were widely popular, you can bet somebody is looking to cash in.

I think it's a big cop-out to be honest. Yes, it looks pretty, but it's unnecessary and just an excuse for a bit of money. The reason I'm opposed to the idea is because Twin Snakes was such a terrible game, it really was. It lost every bit of soul that the original had and changed the voice of Grey Fox, my favourite character, from Greg Eagles to shitty Rob Paulsen. And Matrix-style jumps and changes in dialogue is inexcusable. I'm sorry, but MGS meant a lot to me and is my favourite game of all time for the emotional depth, the complexity and brilliance of the plot, the way the characters immerse you and outstanding graphics. What Kojima needs to do is ditch Rising (that new fan-service Japanese bollocks) and bring out a remodelling of MG and MG2 on the MSX. Since he has such a love for Big Boss now, and has shown that he's nearly incapable of making him appear every bit the sadist he was in the original games, he can reverse that by remaking the original two. That way, we have potentially perfect games. We have Frank Jaeger as a younger character before he's a cyborg ninja, we have Big Boss as the antagonist (imagine the cut-scenes and emotion in that! It would make PW and MGS4 that much more powerful the next time you play it), Master Miller when he was actually alive giving some advice over the codec and best of all, we get to play as Solid Snake for the first-time on a new-gen console since that short Tanker episode in MGS2, which wasn't enough. We'd be playing him in his prime, here, and it could delve into not only his relationship with BB, but with Grey Fox, too. And who better to command the mission over codec than Campbell himself who would be the mission advisor. It's a potentially perfect game and would tie up many of the loose ends and repair some retcons. But if they pick anyone other Greg Eagles to do the voice of Fox, I'll be pissed (he was so gay in Portable Ops, they wrecked his character and Rob Paulsen can't do it for shit). Please, Kojima, do it.
