Hideo Kojima Teases new Metal Gear Collection

Hideo Kojima Shows Metal Gear Collection on his twitter page.

[Xaphy]

Metal gear 4 on ps4? Yes please :D

[Forbidden_Darkness]

I hope so! They could also throw in Ground Zeroes with the rest of the collection and I'd be happy with that. Makes me glad I decided to skip the Legacy collection.

[Ninver]

The inclusion of Ground Zero would be awesome considering i haven't picked it up yet.

Make It Happen!!

[bouzebbal]

MGS collection on PS4 including MGS: Twin Snakes HD please!

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I think MGS4 will stay forever a PS3 exclusive (or at least PlayStation exclusive) due to the many elements of the game having playstation related stuff top them: Metal Gear Mark II & III using the Cell processor and the sixaxis controller is the only way to control it, Sunny playing with a PSP , Otacon talking about Bluray on the PS3 and disk swap on the PS1 and many other stuff like that.

[Ratty]

@Plastica-Man

I guess they'd need to make a few changes to make it work but you're right. It's very doubtful.

[RumbleFish]

MGS 3 Subsinstance 16:9 on Steam please!!! :D

[donthate]

PLASTICA-MAN:

"I think MGS4 will stay forever a PS3 exclusive (or at least PlayStation exclusive) due to the many elements of the game having playstation related stuff top them: Metal Gear Mark II & III using the Cell processor and the sixaxis controller is the only way to control it, Sunny playing with a PSP , Otacon talking about Bluray on the PS3 and disk swap on the PS1 and many other stuff like that."

All of that was pretty much just a plug-in to market the PS3 and can easily be cut straight out and nobody would care.

I don't think Kojima/Konami can justify cutting out an entire platform like Xbox One.

If it comes, I will be looking forward to seeing it on Xbox One and PS4, but likely won't be buying it.

[NukaCola]

Salty,

No it's not. MG series has always had easter eggs and console specific integration. It's a part of the charm. Even Twin Snakes has Nintendoisms in it.

[BLuTheSecond]

@NukaCola

That didn't stop them from removing the Ape Escape mini game from MGS 3:Sub in the HD collection. The easter eggs wouldn't stop MGS 4 from showing up on a non sony system. They'll either be removed or if Kojima cares enough, they would scrap the old easter eggs and make new ones for each version.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@YouAreSalty

Indeed, I don't think those little easter eggs are any meaningfull hurdle from porting the game all around, but I also think you're missing the bigger picture here.

MGS4 is an old PS3 exclusive, it have a quite unique code for a unique architecture on it's early complicated days, it's not like something on the new fox engine which you can just run elsewhere. So it's a challenge to port it to any x86 platform at all.

However, porting PS3 exclusive code into PS4 is something Sony have done (TLOU, and apparently isn't an easy task even with such a recent game) so they can help out... But PS3 -> XB1, Konami would be on their own.

Also, XB1 install base is not exactly presenting a healthy grow. It's small as expected from a console in it's early days, but it's also not selling well. If anything, it's the one platform they may justify entirelly cutting out, more so than XB360 (which would need some downgrade, but can be done).

So all things considered, if MGS4 is really part of that collection, I can definetelly see MGS4 staying PS exclusive, just not because of some easter eggs.

[donthate]

BISHOP-BRASIL :

Porting code is an extremely easy task to do, especially on a more powerful system. This is no problem at all!

It is only a problem when you port it to a similarly or more restrictive system.

Despite the fangirls arguments, MGS4 would have likely run on Xbox 360 if it was ported with a new engine.

There isn't anything in MGS4 that isn't doable with more computational power and more lax restrictions like an Xbox One.

Port it to PS4, oohhh my, it is sooo f'in similar to Xbox One. Let's do it!

"Also, XB1 install base is not exactly presenting a healthy grow. It's small as expected from a console in it's early days, but it's also not selling well."

That is ridiculous!

The monthly sales gap in major regions are closing in on Xbox One and PS4. The 4-5 million lead is insignificant in the long run when one expects 150-200 million consoles sold. PS3 didn't have a problem garnering support when their sales were lagging behind Xbox 360, by even more.

On top of this, the cost of porting a game was around 10% of actual game development, per platform last generation. This generation it would be even lower with hardware so similar, it is a spitting image of each other.

So that is just another BS reason fangirls will muddle the waters to fit their agenda.

If that was the case, we wouldn't have third party exclusives that sell to a user base of 5-7 million like Sunset Overdrive.

Stop spreading the FUD! It ain't happening.

[eraisu]

it's TGS duh, PS4 all the way

[Magicite]

all until now released metal gear games in 1 blu-ray exclusively on PS4, Please!

[Aloren]

What if it's not exclusively on PS4 ?

I'm hoping for a PC version too. After all, Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes are coming to PC.

[Ratty]

Unless they compress MGS4, I doubt it would all fit on a single bluray. But all the others I guess it could be done since they did it with the HD/Legacy collection.

Also, it would be nice if they threw in the Acid games and Portable Ops in there. I liked those games but I don't play a lot because, well, handheld.

[Str8Chaos74]

I'm with you Aloren, give us a PC version.

[lelo2play]

And so it continues...

Remakes, remasters, collections, etc. There are gamers that buy the same game 3,4,5 times. Some people have way too much money to spend.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah call of duty players with their "new" game every single year, they might as well go down the new super mario bros... This one is called the New new call of duty.

[Gatsu]

People buy them again, because they are the best games ever. And no I'm not talking about CoD etc...MGS is just totally on a different level.

[eferreira]

People have been buying super mario bros for the nes multiple times on their nes, gameboy color, gameboy advance, wii, 3ds and wii u. Let people buy what they want. It's not your money/

[scark92]

Some people like playing remasters and remakes...

[Baka-akaB]

Or as shocking as it is for naysayers , some people love the ideas of playing oldies , ON TOP of their new games .

[Gatsu]

MGS4 yes please O_O ! :D Kojima is god!

[breakpad]

it is for 2014 so no remakes in it ...it will be probably for next gen ......i hope he doesnt break the exclusivity of MGS 4 and make it for other platforms...it is the only exclusive third party for PS3 which can brag about

[cj1pate101]

You sir have nothing to brag about considering how terrible mgs4 was. The story simply tried to close to many plots and ultimately made for one hilariously bad story. Some of these include Meryl and Johny to snake walking through the microwave. Yeah vamps not actually a vampire hes just got nano machines. Lets bring snake back to Shadow Mozes for the hell of it! O you wanna play the game? Enjoy waiting for those long load times. Nothing like watching an ugly old man smoke a cig for 7-10 mins. Game was horrible and in no way lived up to the hyper it created.

[Walker]

And Xbone i think ~

[geddesmond]

Metal Gear collection. That's Metal gear solid 4 and Metal gear rising. The last collection was announced as the metal gear solid collection. This is only metal gear so my bet is on those 2 games

[madao]

Nope, no games collection.
It's for new line of merchandises.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[animegamingnerd]

please at least be on PC

[wtopez]

No need to say please. If MGR sold more in one Summer Sale than it did on the whole span of the 360 (not the PS3) you can be sure that'll be on PC eventually.

And to console fans, when PC gets it, it will hurt no one. If you're a fan of MGS you should be hoping that they make as much money as possible off the franchise.

[FlameHawk]

Lol? Can you show me where this was said?
Tell me do you think Konami makes more money for a game sold at $60 than $5? Doesn't matter how many copies were sold it matters for how much they were sold. Since PC gamers like to wait for sales all the time and console games buy games at launch, I'm sure Konami has made more money on 360 than PC. If it sold more on PC they would have announced Ground Zeroes for PC simultaneously with the console version.

[Daniel_Potter]

@FlameHawk
Games never stop to sell on pc, cause there is never a limit to how many copies a store can have.
Plus there are sales, and each time one happens, it will boost the purchases. And considering that these are all digital, developer doesn't loose anything for selling them for a cheaper price. In fact most developers especially indie, make much more on sales than on release
http://upload.wikimedia.org...
On steam, valve takes 30% of the sales, the rest 70% goes to the developers. On consoles publisher takes only ~45%
http://kotaku.com/5479698/w...
ps: before you bring up piracy on pc, lets quickly breakdown what piracy is. Piracy is a way to steal a game, it gives 0% to the developer. Just like Used Games on consoles. One is legal the other one is not. But either way, none of them are good for developers. Why do you think publishers decided to increase the number of dlc's, or create online passes for some games. Why Xbox One decided to cancel used games back then at E3? At least when a pc gamer buys 5$ game on steam, 70% of that money goes to the developer, when a console gamer buys a used game for 45$, none of it goes to the developer.

This is, all that is digital, it's doesn't cost anything to make.
You probably heard of humble bundle? Takes bunch of great games and sells them for like a price of ~10$
Well, EA did humble bundle once. you could get Dead Space 1,3, Battlefield 3, Sims 3, Medal of honor 2010, Mirror's Edge, Crysis 2 for ~6$
This bundle collected 10.5 million dollars
Now you can choose how much you can give to charity, humble tip and to the developers of the bundle, but the default split is 65% to developers, 20% to charity, 5% to humble bundle. So within 2 weeks(that's how long a bundle lasts) EA managed to gather 7 million dollars out of thin air. Sorry guys, but nothing beats pc's digital sales.
Publishers like Square Enix, EA, SEGA, 2K, Warner Bros, Deep Silver, THQ, Bohemia, Tell Tale had their own humble bundles.
Kojima did the right choice by giving us Metal Gear. It may not sell well on release date, it will keep on selling and in the long run outsell the consoles charts.
ps: Why do you think Destiny didn't come out on pc on the same date. Why GTA V didn't come out on pc on the same day as console's release date? Why Watch Dogs got graphical downgrade? It's all the same, console manufacturers are scared. IF GTAV came out with it's graphics, smooth frame rate and mods on pc, just imagine how many new pc gamers would it have brought? Consoles are pathetic nowdays, trying to make themselves relevant by making timed exclusives.

[DevilOgreFish]

"animegamingnerd -
please at least be on PC"

I would say on all platforms more like it. the MGS HD collection was really awesome in my opinion.

[Imalwaysright]

Ground Zeroes and Phanton Pain will be on PC so this collection will probably be as well.

[RedDeadLB]

Here's to hoping it will be. I have a feeling it might.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

I hope its a legit collection across all platforms. MGS4 is a must play.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

yes and if you have to buy a Playstation for it then it won't kill you

[Ninver]

A man didn't say?

[TXIDarkAvenger]

lol. This community is a joke.

I'm getting disagrees for wanting everyone to play MGS4, one of my all time favourite games. Maybe I should of said "sucks for non-Playstation owners getting an incomplete collection". Yeah definitely would of got a bunch of agrees for that. The article is tagged with PC, PS4, Xbox One hence why I made my comment. If I can't hope for a PC/One version, don't tag it.

@solid_snake3656

Loyalty at its finest right here on N4G rofl. If Kojima is making a Metal Gear collection, how the hell can it not include MGS4 and be released for non-Sony systems.

[tman7302]

@AnimeAvenger

I totally agree with you on this site. Sometimes people are ridiculous on here. It would be great if Xbox One and PC got a full collection, even the Wii U can get some love too. Metal Gear Solid would be interesting to play on a gamepad.

[Gatsu]

I love that MGS4 has been exclusive to PS3, but still I think everyone should also get to experience that fantastic game. Especially XBoxers or PC players.

[RedDeadLB]

Although I love MGS4's references to the Playstation brand through the entire game and the fact that MGS4's home is the PS3, I would love to play it again, preferably on my PC since my 2 PS3s got the dreaded YLOD.

The complete MGS collection on all platforms would be like a wet dream come true.

[getrektedmate]

All platforms please

[MegaRay]

I want it for ps2 and 3ds too

[KwietStorm_BLM]

So you thought he was serious when he said PS2?

[DevilOgreFish]

I don't think there's anything stopping the collection from reaching all platforms, disc space and power is not an issue, especially on PC.

[-Foxtrot]

Jeez how many of these things is he going to do, we already got two last gen.

Do a Steelbook for each one in the collection and I'll buy it.

[Batzi]

Whatever that is, I'm buying it!

[KimikoGaming]

I already bought the Legacy Collection =/

Now, if this is the same thing but also includes Ground Zeroes and is a PS4 collection, I will sell my Legacy Collection and Ground Zeroes to get it. Because remote play.

[jetlian]

Bet mgs po HD is part of it since they claimed its cannon now

[Summons75]

It's probably not going to include Ground Zeroes. That is the first mission of MGSV and has a huge plot point. It's going to be part of MGSV. They just released it with extra missions because MGSV was taking longer than expected.

[NovusTerminus]

I think it's going to be for PS3.

MGS1,2,3,4,R, GZ, TPP.

[OMGitzThatGuy]

Wat

[WeAreLegion]

Peace Walker, instead of Rising.

[NovusTerminus]

I forgot about PW. Loved that game!

[Jaqen_Hghar]

Why would they make a PS3 collection including games that are already available there and some of them in collections in 2015? Seriously that makes no sense we know where the mindshare is.

[NovusTerminus]

But it says 2014, which would be very little time to port that many games over. I'd love it for the PS4, but the timing just makes me think this is a repackage rather then a redux.

[himdeel]

Im sure everyone didnt purchase the last collection and the number of PS4s in the wild makes this cash grab a no brainer. If its on other platforms it might not be a complete collection for all.

[JEW_UNIT]

They should do a vita collection. Portable ops, pw , mg acid 1+2 and the graphic novels. But thats just me talking randomly.

[mrbojingles]

I'm down if its for PS4. I didn't get around to buying HD Collection or Legacy. Port MGS, MGS2, MGS3, MGS PW and MSG4 to PS4 I'll be happy for months.

[masterfox]

another collection ?, hope they include some clothes, solid snake underwear or something.

[GenericNameHere]

1080P/60FPS MGS2/3/4/PW on PS4 and PC, and 720P/60FPS on Xbone?

I don't care if it's $60. Bring it on, Kojima. I got my money ready!

[typittt69]

Thanks for confirming the Xbone resolution ps fanboy

[ssjkiet]

Why don't you do a bit of HW before you call someone out & make yourself look like a fool. GZ is currently 720p/60fps on the X1 .. I highly doubt he will make those games 1080p if he can't even get GZ to be 1080p on the x1...

[OMGitzThatGuy]

@ssjkiet So you are saying that since GZ is 720p that means that the older games cant be 1080p? I would love to see how you came up with that logic.

[ssjkiet]

@OMGitzThatGuy

So why is a CURRENT gen game not able to run at 1080p .. But somehow magically games from 10 years ago can? Unless he remade them all which i'll bet anything he won't cause the resources would be way too much ... Please tell me how you would think games from 2-3 gens ago would all be 1080p? Please tell me. I honestly would like to know.

[Gore-Content]

I'm surprised this guy didn't tease us with a huge uber important omg announcement, like he always did.

[JackVagina]

Twin Snakes please

[Gravity_DoGG]

If they make mgs 1,2,3(the HD versions),4,GZ,5 and maybe peace walker for the PS4. everyone is gonna buy it. MEGA EDITION!

[lonelyplayer]

I'm playing mgs3 right now on my vita. What a good game

[FullmetalRoyale]

Kuwabara, Kuwabara.

[mamotte]

Wasnt Legacy released just a year ago? .-.

[Antifan]

Gotta keep milking, baby. No one stops this milk train.

[Plagasx]

Oh god please be on PC as well.

[francisjairam16]

Well this is...surprising I guess?

[AD705]

Really? Another collection of old games? btw why is anyone here saying that they want this on the PC getting shitloads of dislikes? But anyway these remakes are getting ridiculous.

[Bodge]

It's N4G, peasants be everywhere.

[LightDiego]

And here you are, crying and begging for a "peasant" game.
I hope it's exclusive for consoles.

[Wni0]

Gaming is so obsessed with nostalgia its borderline toxic.

[our_games_are_art]

Here's hoping it has mgs4 haven't played that game since my first walkthrough :/

[josephayal]

can't wait for the x1 version in 1080p

[clevernickname]

You mean 900p.

:P

[PS4isKing_82]

Lol

[karlowma]

PS4: The best place to play PS3 games.

[BitbyDeath]

4 generations actually, ps1, PS2, ps3 and ps4

[RosweeSon]

Or you could just get an xbox one and be looking forward to halo collection as the main game of this holiday season, another port (xbox, 360 and now one) if it's ok for Microsoft why such a big problem that's it's done on ps4 specially as most people are jumping ship to ps4 from an xbox therefore won't have ever played then besides there some of the best games to ever get released always got time for quality.

Let's face it it's not like people have jumped ship from sony to Microsoft so all those Microsoft fans who've still stuck around are gonna just get more of the same, pass.

[gamertk421]

Sony fans are so ready to be pissed if MGS4 hits an Xbox console, lol. Personally, I like the original and can't stand anything else from the series.

[Old_Boss_]

pissed ? we had it for 6 years ..

[RosweeSon]

Hardly it'll 100% be better on a ps4 besides MGS 1 started on ps1 all those years ago it's a playstation brand through and through, sure xbox get some offcuts but you'll never beat playing this game on a playstation console.

[--bienio--]

Pc version?? Before Mgs5 this could be a dream come true!!;£

[TheVigilanteCode]

This is great news. I think he's teasing the legacy collection which was out on PS3 for all plaforms Phantom Pain is gonna release on now. PC hasn't seen Snake Eater/Peace Walker/Guns of the Patriots yet and the Xbox fanbase needs the first game & Guns of the Patriots. Let us look at what all it came with.

1. Metal Gear Solid (Digital code on PSN)

2. Metal gear Solid : VR Missions (Digital code on PSN)

3. Metal Gear Solid 2 HD (Substance)

4. Metal Gear Solid 3 HD (Subsistence)
with A) Metal Gear (NES Version)
B) Metal Gear 2 : Solid Snake (NES Version)

5. Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots (Trophy Edition)

6. Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker HD

7. Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel (1 & 2)

8. Metal Gear Solid : The Legacy book

Now, throw in Ground Zeroes with that lot, price it $59.99 and you've got a winner on your hands. The PC audience will love it if Ground Zeroes is priced at $20 and if this is priced at $60 - They will obviously go with this. It will be a bigger HD collection than even Halo : Master Chief Collection is and WIN on all sides as the platform owners get ready for Phantom Pain. Do it Kojima!

[2pacalypsenow]

The Metal Gear and Metal gear 2 games are ports from the Msx2 console not those cheap NES versions where you don't even fight a metal gear

[hkgamer]

this maybe the first mgs collection i will buy if it comes out over here.

i missed out on all the others he has released before this.

[paul-p1988]

Considering he referred to the previous collection as the 'Metal Gear Solid' collection, and this one as the 'Metal Gear' collection, I would guess that means it's the original games from the MSX (the one's that were also on the MGS3:Subsistence disc) and NOT MGS from PS1 onwards..

If so, I'm buying this! I already have the previous collection but would love a HD remake of the original games :)

[2pacalypsenow]

Mgs4 has way too many playstation references they would have to re do parts of the game or cut them to put them on other consoles

[theshredded]

I'm really lucky,I sold my MGS Hd collection(I have it on ps plus)& MGS4 recently.I'm glad I know Kojima's tactics.I'll have to buy this again.I hope it includes ground zeroes

[srusli]

Complete utter madness, how many rehash does that guy plan to do ? Damn... dont live in the past - get it over with and work on more new titles please!!!!

[GrandpaSnake]

bring back metal gear online with both snake eater and mgs4 and it will be gold.

[llMurcielagoll]

Another re-re-re-mastered collection? No thanks.

[rawshack]

this could mean mgs4 one xbox as well.

[Majin-vegeta]

Dont think so.Like SOmeone already pointed out it says "metal Gear collection"not "Metal Gear Solid Collection".
http://img1.wikia.nocookie....

[TheFallen1327]

Kojima said that he would put MG's 4 on the Xbox one coz the 360 couldn't handle it

[eferreira]

This will probably be the first time mgs4 will be on MS platofrms.

[Revengeance]

Legacy Collection on PS4 hopefully. I would love to play MGS4 on PS4. Please be true.

[mamotte]

I hope it includes Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, in awesome 1080p.

/s/

[DarXyde]

It'd be great to see MGS4 remade using the Fox Engine, but that's incredibly doubtful.

As long as it's coming to PS4, I'm good.

[PaleMoonDeath]

MGS4 on my PS4? YES YES YESSS!!

Man that would be Insane!!

[PaleMoonDeath]

Wasn't MGS4 40+ GB on the PS3? a 1080p 60FPS version surely would take up an entire disc if not even two, the other games would understandably be on one Blu-Ray, but MGS4 would most definitely need it's own disc.

Edit: Could this mean MGO2 could come back..?

[Energy-HL]

MGO2 is already back :) Although you need a hacked PS3...

[Energy-HL]

I wonder is Portable Ops will be in it as Kojima has just announced it is canon.

[masa2009]

I hope they at least have the decency to bring the control improvements from Snake Eater 3DS to this version.

[Renodefend]

Ready to play mgs4 on my xbox one

[Pennywise138]

I know I'm dreaming here but I'd love to see a collection of every single metal gear game for next gen but have have the original NES games remade indy style but with voice acting and all that so its like a hybrid of old and new and then have metal gear solid 1 thru 3 completely remade using the fox engine. Then 4 and revengence could just be upgraded to 1080 60fps.I'd spend a year only playing metal gear games. It be nice though to be able to play thru the whole story all at once since the story is very in depth and convoluted its hard to remember everything after all these years.
