Still waiting on Konami to put the MGS Collection back on digital stores

Nyxus345d ago

I know right? And rerelease the games for current gen systems while they're at it.

just_looken344d ago

Do not worry they will give use those pichincko remakes for top dollar soon.

Metal gear solid 3 in the fox engine looked/ran amazing but was sealed away :(

I know re-makes and stuff have been played to death this generation.

But damn I wouldn't mind an MGS4 remake

gold_drake344d ago

i played it quite recently and it holds up very well

CantThinkOfAUsername343d ago

It does, but a remake will be available on platforms other than PS3.

itsmebryan344d ago

I thought the series would have sold more over all these years and different releases.

Ready4nxtgen344d ago

Yeah I would have thought over 150 Mil. Something.missing here

Nyxus344d ago

Metal Gear isn't that big, and there hasn't been a new release in years. Also MGS2 and 3 are still missing from digital storefronts.

shinoff2183344d ago

5 mgs games in total if I'm not mistaken. 59 60 million seems about right. Mgs is dope to some of us but it would be hard for a lot of regulars to understand

ChasterMies344d ago

I would love to buy MGS4 but it’s still a PS3 exclusive.

JEECE344d ago

Although there are notable exceptions (GTA, certain first-party Nintendo games, Gran Turismo), as a rule games didn't sell as much in earlier generations as they have in the past few generations. So a lot of PS1-PS2 era titles that are viewed as seminal games didn't actually sell all that much by today's standards (yes, despite the large install bases of those systems lol). I remember a similar surprised reaction happening a few months ago when Square announced the total overall sales of Final Fantasy VII.

Deathdeliverer344d ago

Some of the best fun you can have online was the first metal gear online and to a lesser, but still fun to an extent, MGO2. The magazine, CQC, stealth, and tactical play Vs real players is just a blast. Not to mention playing Snake vs everyone? Amazing. The game will never be the same without Hideo, but Konami can definitely update what’s already there and take my money.

ceyoga344d ago

You wouldn't be talking about the OG MGO that was included with MGS3:S would you? It's rare running into another former player. Those were some of the best memories of any online game I had.

Deathdeliverer344d ago

Yes my man!! That seems like the BEST game that nobody played! Tranquilizer pistol, drag the body to a corner and lay a girly mag right by their head so they wake up and instantly get caught by the mag. You could get real toxic if you wanted at that point, but man that game was incredible! The only thing annoying was that damn Konami ID

P_Bomb344d ago

Did my part!

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan176d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara176d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus176d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow176d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga192d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19192d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19192d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq192d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger192d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder192d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils192d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder192d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85192d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac192d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420192d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim192d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo191d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
