MGS on 360, What does this mean?

Just 3 months left now. Every gamer is anxiously waiting for the re-release of the ultimate saga to be re-released and Remastered in High definition! Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was much desired by every gamer who had the love for the franchise over a decade ago![TacticZone]

[LOGICWINS]

Ummm not much. If a non PS3 owning 360 owner where that much of an MGS fan, he would have either gotten a PS3(to play MGS4), PS2(to play MGS2/Snake Eater), or PSP(to play Peace Walker) years ago to play these games.

And considering that games like Gears, Halo, and COD are the most played on XBL...I doubt many 360 owners would care about an MGS collection.

The people on N4G make this MGS collection on the 360 a MUCH bigger deal than it actually is.

[just_sayin]

If i'm not mistaken but 2&3 are on the xbox right

@ LOGICWINS/Darthv72
Thanks i though Snake Eater was on the first xbox as well

[LOGICWINS]

I think that MGS2: Subsistence is offered on XBL as a downloadable title. Don't know about Snake Eater.

[darthv72]

just MGS2 substance on the original xbox and it isnt comp with the 360.

[LOGICWINS]

^^Yeah this lol

[MaxXAttaxX]

It means nothing more than a double rainbow.

[KING85]

You are actually partly mistaken as only metal gear solid 2: substance was the only one to grace the xbox brand.

[darthv72]

what is there to disagree with? MGS2 substance is for the original xbox and it is not compatible with the 360. If you dont believe me then put a copy in your system and you will find it does not play.

Konami (and possibly nvidia) did not make a patch to allow it to work on the 360 ati gpu. And furthermore.....

oh what's the use.

[BattleAxe]

Most 360 player will learn very quickly that you can't jump and float in the air, then they will go back to Halo.

[Army_of_Darkness]

What?! No master chief! Chiiiiiief!!!

[Kurt Russell]

I saw the 1st two Metal Gears through when they were out first time round... I haven't played them since, not my kinda game. I haven't tried it on my PS3, so it won't be gracing my 360 either :(

Not saying they're bad games at all, just not for me :)

[LNDCalling]

@BattleAxe LMAO!! that did make me chuckle..

On topic I think its great that 360 owners get to play them, they may realise how great MGS is and get a PS3 to play MGS4.. though I suppose many might have already!

[morganfell]

Splinter Cell Collection HD on the PS3 (exclusively). What does this mean?

Absolutely nothing.

The sheer desperation of some of the articles now freely posted on N4G is flabbergasting. Even more astounding are the people that put stock in such ramblings.

[gamingdroid]

MGS have graced other consoles many times, so it is no surprise that future games will be multi-platform.

It just makes business sense, unless somebody ponies up big money to keep it exclusive.

[pixelsword]

Obviously it means that 360 players get to play MGS.

[abang]

I'm glad that the franchise is coming to the 360..

Though I can imagine, without doing proper research,them will be playing in order : MGS PW, MGS 2, MGS3 and avoiding MG1 & MG2 due to graphics..Good luck decyphering the story..

[snipes101]

It means that MGS is on the 360.

[darthv72]

there are the hold outs out there and they are the ones who will buy it.

I have MGS on the GC and MGS2 on the xbox. Never played 3 and even though I have a psp, didnt get into peace walker. I do have 4 though for ps3.

Now my situation is do I get it for the ps3 or for the 360........?

[LOGICWINS]

"there are the hold outs out there and they are the ones who will buy it."

So people were holding out for years for an MGS Collection that they didn't even know existed until a month ago???

[Convas]

Welps, I don't have MGS4. And if Metal Gear Solid: Rising actually comes out, I plan on getting it for 360, so I'm planning on getting the MGS HD Collection for 360.

[Soldierone]

More so REAL fans wouldn't hold out like that. I couldn't resist no matter how hard I tried. Even bought another PSP just so I could play the Acid series and so on. There is no way in hell I would of passed up a PS2 or PS3 and skipped all those games.

As for which one. If you own both, go PS3, the series originated and has always been on PlayStation. That way you can go and get MGS4 too. If you only own an xbox then by all means get it on Xbox. Other than that logic, its all personal choice and if you get it on one console or another who cares? Its MGS!

[NoobSessions]

Lol whats with all the disagrees on Clizzz? Just because he wants it for Xbox? Wow.

[LNDCalling]

Agreed.. As to your dilema I suppose its down to what consloe you play most and what controller you would prefer playing that kind of game on!

[UltimateIdiot911]

PS3, take advantage of TRANSFARRING!

Not sure if the PS3 version will include any bonus or not. Besides, MGS games were design for PS platform.

I don't know if they made any changes to the pressure sensitive input but I do know MGS3 uses pressure sensitivity which is only on PS controllers. So it might become a little more fustrating on the 360.

[zeal0us]

its means I will be buying it

[WANNAGETHIGH]

It means nothing,People seem to forget that the original xbox had a MGS game as well.

[M_Prime]

i actually think IT MAY MEAN that MGS4 might grace the Xbox. i only played MGS1 on the PSX.. i never had a PS2 and i have a PS3 that collects dust.. I love my XBOX.. so i'm stoked for this

[Raven_Nomad]

You'd be surprised. I grew up with the Metal Gear games and Metal Gear Solid 1 on my PS1 was the first gaming all nighter I ever pulled when I was a teenager.

Yea I have MGS4 on PS3, but I didn't really enjoy it. I also have close to 30,000 Gamerscore on XBL, so I would much rather play this on my Xbox 360.

There are probably a good amount of people that will feel the same way.

I never looked at Metal Gear as a Sony exclusive anyway, there was one on the original Xbox and Nintendo got an amazing version called Twin Snakes. Snake is even in Smash Bro's.

[SilentNegotiator]

Yeah, I'm sure 4 was much too "On the PS3 but not the 360"-ish for you.

[2pacalypsenow]

i cant see my self playing MGS with a xbox controller

[digitaledge]

My first Metal Gear game was on the NES way back in the day(about 24 years ago). I still have fond memories of seeing the 'state of the art graphics' (at least at the time), with Snake having a cigarette, lol.

In saying that, as my life circumstances changed, I never really had the chance to get into what people call the 'main' Metal Gear games, but now that my kids are growing up, I've now got a bit more time to put into games, so collections like this are quite useful for me. It means that I don't have to hook up my old consoles to play them.

I'm sure that there are quite a few new gamers who have never played the originals, so this kind of thing would be appealing for them.

[newleaf]

It is a big deal, some people may be fans but not big enough fans to buy a new console for one single game in a series. Besides, this is more than just for the fans of the series, it is about making NEW fans that may only take note of the series now that it is on their console of choice. Seriously logicwins, I usually agree with what you have to say because it is logical most of the time...right now you're being very short sighted.
Lets also not forget that cod is the highest selling ps3 game, they love that ish, citing liking games like cod as a reason that 360 fans might not buy this game compilation is just plain illogical and a little insulting.

[slaton24]

if its on multi-platform who cares...it all started on nintendo anyways....the only people who dont no that are the young gamers

[Hatiko]

And apparently you don't know that it didn't start on nintendo. Nintendo got the altered MG (a port in which kojima had no part in) and the horrible Metal Gear 2: Snakes Revenge which is non-canonical and kojima had no part in. The MSX2 is where it started with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

[trikster40]

Doh beat me to it! but at least the guy on the cover of Snake's Revenge looked like dude from Terminator hah!

Now, if only he will remake Snatcher and make a sequel...

[slaton24]

well either way metal gear was on nintendo(NES) before metal gear solid came out. Also i dont care who eas involved a metal gear game is still a metal gear game good or bad...than it was on ps1 when metal gear solid was made...after that during ps2 it went multi...

just like final fantasy so many people where pissed because 13 was goin multi it should stay at its roots with sony..they must not have known that too started on nintendo....i no enough to no what I am talkin about considering i have been a gamer since 4 back when the 1st nintendo came out and i have been playin ever since and now i am 25.

[StoneyYoshi]

Well technically the first nintendo came out in the late 70's called Color TV Game. It only came out in japan, but its still technically the first nintendo system. but it seems like 4 would be more towards the SNES timeline. so 6 would probably be more of a stable area to start being a gamer, cause i know nobody that is 4 that can even get passed a start menu without help.

[AO1JMM]

@Hatiko, MSX = Microsoft

Just an FYI

[DigitalAnalog]

Meanwhile manufactures ranged from Mitsubishi and guess what...

dun dun dun

SONY!

-End statement

[Kran]

OR!!! Current generation people want to get to know the generation people used to know, hence the point of a HD Collection?

[FACTUAL evidence]

All this means is MSG4 not going to 360 still.....that's where this is trying to point out to. Also, MGS4 sold fantastically, so if we did get MGS5 exclusive on a ps system I wouldn't be surprised.

[slaton24]

i think that metal gear solid is over with and the start of a new series of metal gear was about to start...thats what i read up on...than when they announced metal gear solid rising i was like maybe thats the game they are talkin about...buti also read the reason 360 cannot get MGS4 is because it would take up to 6 disc....also if every game went multiplatform where would that lead the systems....hmm

[Chocoboh]

@slaton24 nah that's bs it wouldn't take up 6 discs because all they would need to do is heavily compress some audio/textures and it would fit on a good 2-3 discs. Hell they're putting Metal Gear Solid 4 on the Playstation Vita(or was a playtest alpha anyways) I'm a ps3 fan mainly don't get me wrong but I do own all consoles.

[Bull5hifT]

Double Rainbow

[SilentNegotiator]

It doesn't mean MGS4 on 360....

MGS2 was on the xbox, and MGS3 was not because the second one didn't do as well on it.

Now it's another generation and they're releasing it in HD.

So what does it all mean? It means gamers get to play a classic and second-rate fanboy sites get to make silly articles.

[WitWolfy]

Agreed MGS4 will NEVER come to 360, seeing that it says "Sony computer entertainment" in the opening credits... meaning its a Sony exclusive

[andibandit]

It's a mute point. The story of the MGS series is so confusing and complex, i dont think would even consider playing unless i could start with the first game.

[caseh]

'It's a mute point. The story of the MGS series is so confusing and complex, i dont think would even consider playing unless i could start with the first game. '

To be honest each game is pretty much self-contained rather than a continuation of the previous installment. You would miss out on little nods here and there to previous titles but the games are pretty good at filling those gaps in.

I never played the NES/MSX installments yet it didn't take long for me to learn who Big Boss was for example. Any other gaps can be filled in by the MGS Database on PS3. :)

[Nameless_Protagonist]

I think a lot of Xbox 360 only owners will care about this hd collection. Considering 2 of the 3 games offered never appeared on an Xbox console, it's like getting 2 brand new games for less then the price of one of the three games you mentioned.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

It means people who have xbox 360 will be able to play metal gear.

[Micro_Sony]

MGS on 360, What does this mean?

This means that Sony needs to setup and meeting with Konami and offer them some $$$$$$$$$$ that Konami cant refuse for MGS5.

[spunkee311]

Could not disagree more with this arrogant statement

[TheEatingVodka]

Haha are you kidding me? It is a big deal.. It means that the new upcoming MGS will be released for the 360 as well

[the_best_player]

@What does this mean?

The trolls will still never get MGS4 :)

[_Aarix_]

Im looking forward to it and im a 360 owner

[SephirothX21]

Well I bought a PS3 for MGS3 and didn't buy a psp for PW and I'm glad I didn't because now I get it in hd on my PS3. Though you can't say that 360 owners who didn't buy a PS3 for MGS4 aren't MGS fans. Many people simply don't have the money and also, thee are so many great multi-platform games to now that no gamer is going to be stuck regardless of their console (besides wii).

[bebojet]

"The people on N4G make this MGS collection on the 360 a MUCH bigger deal than it actually is."

It's only because it was a former PlayStation exclusive game. With Konami's constant HD remakes I wouldn't be surprise if MGS4 makes it's way on 360. That way they'll also give the fans what we have been asking for years, a trophy patch.

[DaMist]

I just think this means that the next MG game besides Rising of course, is also coming to the XBOX 360, which makes sense.

[olLANDSHARKlo]

@BattleAxe, jumping and floating in the air, you didn't mention resistance also, hmmm weird.

[Magic_Spatula]

@ Kurt Russel

How can a man named Kurt Russel not want to play a game where the main character is based off of a character that he played in Escape from LA?

[showtimefolks]

most games from kojima production will be on both ps3 and xbox360 and most likely wii.(also pc too so don't get mad)

i think unless MS or sony are willing to pay the man huge bucks i mean as huge as passing on a console install base of 60 plus million by mid 2012 than i don't think its happening

and better for us as gamers and them as devs MORE PEOPLE WILL GET TO PLAY GREAT GAMES AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT

WE SHOULD ENJOY KOJIMA WHILE WE CAN I CAN SEE THIS MAN RETIRING IN NEAR FUTURE

mgs HD collection and we are all getting a new MGS game in peace walker which most of us missed so enjoy and be gamers not fanboys enjoy man and peace out

[darthv72]

konami knows that the franchise makes them $$$. The more they can sell it to the more they make in the end.

It was strange at first why they blocked MGS2 from the xbox from running on the 360. Now it will run and in HD no less.

[Darkfocus]

it was never blocked the 360 can't run xbox games it can only emulate them...that's why the compatibility list is so small...most games have to be recoded in order to work properly...

[TacticEspionage]

Video

[chidori666]

It means more people get to play MGS in both consoles

MGS in both consoles= win for REAL gamers, not fanboys of exclusive console..

[initial_kay]

i hate when people saay real gamers in everything like this.... just cause one person doesnt own every game console out there doesnt mean they aren't a real gamer.... means they jsut enjoy one console only or they dont bother for the other or the other doesnt offer them anything they want... -___-"

[BX81]

Shut up fake gamer /s.

[_Aarix_]

Fanboys, they bash and hate on a console they don't have. A real gamer would respect the other console and just f***ing game.

[Nameless_Protagonist]

I didn't buy an Xbox 360 because of the unreliable hardware.

[Persistantthug]

.

[Micro_Sony]

So you will reconsider buying one now as the hardware is ace with the slims.

[WitWolfy]

I agree with Micro_Sony the hardware is top notch after the 360 slim released, hasn't given me any trouble yet :)

[TheEatingVodka]

Hell yeah you're a smart man! (too bad this site is filled with fanboys so nobody will actually agree with you)

[Miiikeyyy]

It means people on Xbox get to play it!

[whydoyouask]

they already did...

[Codeman420]

they still need a PS3 to play MGS4 to complete the story. good thing sony just lowered the cost making it cheaper than the 360.

[ActivistBike]

Stop whining

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@Codmen420, MGS4 is a great game for sure so no argument there and you do need a PS3 to play it...but your math is a little fuzzy. When was $249 cheaper then $199?

[Ragnaarock]

@Dlacy13g
Considering the fact that the $199 version only comes with 4GB of Hard Drive space, I think the extra 156GB is good for the $50 difference seeing as how MS flash drives are super expensive and it is very hard/ not possible to add more HD space on a new 360 considering it is a regular laptop hard drive enclosed in a special microsoft shroud. Of course I don't even think the $199 version has an HD in it and probably uses flash memory.

4GB 360 = $199
160GB PS3 = $249
250GB 360 = $299
320GB PS3 = $299

[BitbyDeath]

In Australia PS3 is between a $100 and $130 cheaper than the cheapest 360.

160GB PS3 - $298
4GB 360 - $429
320GB PS3 - $449
250GB 360 - $529
320GB 360 - $589

[Skateboard]

360 owners are in for a treat.

[news4geeks]

and a rare one at that...

joking! 360 is good.

[initial_kay]

in all honesty... fanboy aside... mgs will always be considered a playstation name/game...

@ disagree... care to explain why?

[whydoyouask]

because MGS has been released on both the original xbox and the gamecube. The only people who think that are fanboys.

i'm not trying to start anything here, just saying.

[TheDivine]

Sure by the same people who consider FF a sony franchise. Mgs was on psx and gamecube, mgs2 was on ps2 and xbox, mgs3 was on ps2 and going to 3ds 360 and ps3. Its hardly a sony franchise. Its a great franchise that everybody NEEDS to pay. I wish this had twin snakes in it so we could have 1-3 in one box. Oh well peace walker is amazing i just hated how you needed to play with others because nobody else i know had a psp. Now i can play through it online, its going to be so epic.

[SonyNGP]

IMO, absolutely nothing. It's not like the Metal Gear franchise was an exclusive in the first place.

As for 360 only owners, have fun :)

[2pacalypsenow]

MGS 4 and MGS portable ops are still exclusive to ps

[John Kratos]

Still going to get it on the PS3, as that's the platform that I've played all of the MGS series on Playstation. But I think it's great that people who don't have a PS3 and enjoyed MGS in the past can still get in on the HD collection. And who knows maybe Konami will finally put MGS4 on the 360 so those guys can experience it.

[initial_kay]

exactly... i have every single mgs game every made for a sony console... <3 iam excited for this game nonetheless... multi or not.

[Foxgod]

I played my first metal gear on a Microsoft platform :)
It was Metal gear on the MSX back in 1989
In fact, i still own an MSX2 build by Philips.

So it would make sense if i get it on the 360 :P

[John Kratos]

Good for you mate. :)

[JeffGUNZ]

It means you can play MGS on the 360. Simple really.

[whydoyouask]

It means Kojima likes dinero.

[Micro_Sony]

Kojima like money???No way get out of here

I thought he just liked making games for free : )

[despair]

its not a big deal, they're HD titles and its great that everyone gets to play them. I'm just really excited for Peace Walker as I don't own a psp and its one I've been looking forward to for a while...oh and trophies for MGS2 and 3 :)

[KillerPwned]

This is not the first time MGS Sons of Liberty was released for Xbox.

http://www.amazon.com/Metal...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

It simply means nothing more people will get to experience one of the best franchises ever to grace gaming.

[StifflerK]

It's a great game series , the more people that get to play it , the better.

[Roper316]

pretty much mean nothing at all. Basically every Metal Gear game with the exception of 4 has been on Xbox after a timed PS exclusivity. The exception being MGS4 and that was only because of dvd with the limited space, if ms had a bigger storage medium implemented in the 360 MGS4 would have released on it as well. And as long as I can play it on my PS3 still I could not care less.

[Whitefox789]

umm only MGS 2 was released on the original Xbox.

[hardandsloppy]

Metal Gear Solid 1 wasnt on xbox

[El-Fenemeno1213]

MGS on 360

[Whitefox789]

It means Kojima hates exclusivity which is why he is building his own multiplatform engine so he doesn't have to make hardware specific game engines anymore.

[Whitefox789]

Little confused at the disagrees since those are the words that came out of the mans mouth at E3 '11.

[waltyftm]

Exactly what it says on the tin.

ARTICLE FAIL.

[Mario4life]

gezz does this really need any explanations, their just ports to 360, leave it at that people

[Hatiko]

Does it even have the first one?
NVM: Read it and got my answer. So why is everyone saying MGS4 is the only one they don't get? They don't het 1 either. Although 2 is my favorite one.

[BrightFalls76]

Great news for Xbox owners who are interested but I'm not a fan of this series at all. I don't think it deserves much of the praise bestowed upon it.

[TacticEspionage]

Have you ever played any of the metal gears??

[NYC_Gamer]

Extra funds in konami bank account

[lochdoun]

On a different note...

The whole stealth genre is making a comeback; we get to enjoy new versions of Theif, Hitman, Deus Ex, Assasin's Creed, Metal Gear and Splinter Cell. Also Dishonored, the new stealth IP from Bethesda.

What was once considered a stale genre is coming back in a big way!

[Juevani]

I guess it means Old MGS games on 360/PS3 also nothing more nothing less, stop trying to turn stones to diamonds for hit.

[btk]

It means XB360 owners will now be able to enjoy one of the best franchises.

[Buho]

Absolutely nothing, I could care less about MGS. Now, a next-gen Syphon Filter on the other hand.. :)

[Jocosta]

Syphon Filter>MGS, Yeah I said it!

[Optical_Matrix]

As the OP said. It doesn't mean much considering that if you truly call yourself a Metal Gear Solid fan and only a own a 360, you would have gone out and got a PS3 to play MGS4...you know, that game that came out 3 years ago with critical acclaim. if you call yourself an MGS4 fan, which is the demographic this collection is targeted at, and haven't played that game yet, then I doubt you'll bother getting the collection be they on 360, PS3 or whatever.

[Batzi]

It means that it is coming to the 360. That's what it means.

[memphis2]

just means there is no exclusives anymore! all companies want to make more money!

[Jack_DangerousIy]

It doesn't mean jack sh_t. It's a game. Everyone should be able to play it. It's that simple. People who cry about games going multiplat are tools.

[PirosThe4th]

It's funny... first 2 MG were on a Microsoft based system. The MSX2 was a home computer running an embedded MS OS. :P

I don't mind it crossing platforms since its not a full game. However, Kojima demonstrated that it's better for development to focus on only one set hardware. That gives the team more time focusing on story, graphics and stuff... rather than getting the quality even on different hardware.

So I don't mind this but next full MGS (not Rising) should come on PS3/PS4, first.

[Clarence]

it means 360 only owners get to experience one of the best series every made, but they will still have to get PS3 to see how it all ends

[beavis4play]

but, clarence - do you really think 360 owners will get the REAL metal gear experience WITHOUT snake?

[Clarence]

Snake Eater is the beginning of how Snake became big boss. Peace Walker picks up right after Snake Eater. Snake Eater was one the best in the MG series. Sons of liberty is where we meet Raiden.

If 360 owners pick it up they will they will get a chance to play with the original Snake, not Solid Snake.

[beavis4play]

i thought you were talking about MG:rising

my bad.

[Relientk77]

It means people who own a 360 can play MGS lol

[knifefight]

It means MGS is on the 360.

[beavis4play]

i'm not being a hater; but the way i feel is this - if the game doesn't have snake, it is NOT a metal gear game.
i'm a huge MG fan - but i'm not getting "rising"......it isn't a real MG game - just a spinnoff.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

this is the first step to many MGS games on the horizon for the 369 and xbl.

[DFresh]

Doesn't matter many people on Xbox 360 won't support it.
Many of them will be too busy playing COD: MW2, Gears of War 3 and maybe Battlefield 3 to care about any other games.
Ugh.
:D

[J86blum]

I am happy they are getting it as well, everyone should enjoy Metal Gear Solid because the series is awesome, found it stupid the writter seemed like he wanted to start a fanboy fight.

[clockworkrazor]

No matter what the fanboys might say it is a GOOD THING THAT the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is coming to BOTH the PS3 and XBOX360.

The fact is that many traditional Playstation gamers did move over to Xbox360. not all but many did.
There will be a lot of Xbox360 gamers that will be very happy to play there favorite Metal Gear Solid games on the Xbox360 and earn achievements for them all while talking to their friends that will be enjoying the games at the same time.
I ask some of you Playstation fanboys what exactly is wrong with that? are some of you actually mad that more gamers will be able to experience the greatness that is Metal Gear some for the first time?
Are some of you fanboys actually that narrow minded ?

The argument about the sales of the Xbox version of Metal Gear Solid 2 : Substance is a weak one simply because that was a completely different generation and when online was not yet a big issue for console gamers.

This generation many gamers that grew up on both Nintendo and Playstation have moved over to the Xbox360. Nintendo lost support from many of its older hardcore base with its terrible online and casual direction and the PS3 frankly did too little too late when it came to online functionality.

Let me put it this way. I think that Epic should release a Gears of War collection on blue-ray for PS3.
Why ? so that more gamers can experience another very fun 3rd person shooter to go along with Uncharted thats why.

Ya see kids? its not soo difficult to stop the fanboy BS and hate.

We are all gamers and the world as a whole looks at us in a different light than so-called "normal" people.
Why do some gamers insist on hating other gamers? What the hell is the point?
PC elitists hate on console gamers. Playstation fanboys hate on Xbox360 gamers.
If you are older than 18 and are still a fanboy hating on other gamers then you need to grow up and mature and join in with people that understand your chosen hobby instead of wasting valuable time and energy hating on your fellow gamers.

[fullmetal297]

It means MGS is coming onto 360 and no one in the world will stop it from coming.

[Kobe Bryant]

It means more people get to enjoy this masterpiece

[SpinalRemains138]

It means that there will be a MGS game on 3 discs.

What more do you need to know? Inferior graphix happen on PS3 a lot with multiplats, so this is what will happen to 360 on this game. I don't think I've seen one game yet that looks equal on both machines.

It also obviously means more money for the developer. Expanding the base equates to a better investment at the expense of highest quality.

[Hyperbomb69]

this is gonna sell alot more on PS3 than 360...
besides MGS2 was on Xbox last gen..

[AverageGamer]

No MGS1, so what's the point? I am buying a PS3 just for this collection.

[earbus]

I guess some sucker out there in game land will like it ,i just hate stealth games i dont have the nerve id sooner play a dragon based game.

[TheNocturnus]

It means more MGS games I will not be buying.

[TwistedMetal]

nope minus funds because the x360 version is a waste of money.

should just made the psversion and saved themselves money.
x360 arent real gamers they just play halo and cod and whatver they non hardcore gaming friends tell them to get. x360 owners are simply followers and not leaders. No way at 250 you shouldnt have a ps3 but you will have a 3ds with no games or a second x360 and no blueray to watch for your hd tv or free online.

*SHOCKED FACE* It means people on the 360 can play MGS now too! Obviously. Stupid article.

[Xander756]

Wat about MGS4?

[SlaughterMeister]

It means that Metal Gear Solid will be released on the X-Box 360.

[Pyscho_Mantis]

more MGS fans thats all.

[TheLegendsKiller]

It means MGS on 360.....MGS IS WAAAAAAAAAY overrated anyway with the most stupid story ever. you just cant pinpoint what these games is about.

[zackacloud]

It means applying What Kojima said "NO MORE EXLUSIVES ANYMORE"

I hate that but it the truth

[Jdub895O]

Can ps3 owners have gears of war and other xbox exclusives now?

[qwertyz]

metal gar was never exlusive to playstation. MGS games released on gamecube and xbox 1 last generation and I don't see Gears ever coming to ps3 MS will not let that happen.

[RAmar101]

how many dvd will 360 version be? im guessing 2

[AO1JMM]

Who cares?

[Bleach]

Means nothing.

That was easy.

[AO1JMM]

Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid franchise = multiplatform

FACT

[T3MPL3TON]

It means people who own 360's and didn't play them already will have a chance. Nothing more.

[leahcim]

its means MGS 5 on 360

[PirateThom]

Here's the thing, no it doesn't...

MGS2 was on XBox and it's taken 9 years for another Metal Gear game to grace a Microsoft platform and they're ports of PS2 and PSP games.

Game Boy Colour got Ghost Bable, 12 years before it will appear again on a Nintendo handheld.

Then Game Cube got Twin Snakes, but no MGS2 or 3 and the only reappearance of Snake was in Brawl.

Metal Gear platforms have never been set in stone and past history means nothing. Kojima could, just as easily, turn around and make MGS5 a Vita exclusive.

[Tigerfist]

It's not like the Metal Gear series could be considered an exclusive one. You already had MG games on the NES, PSX, PS2, Xbox, PC and many other platforms.

[BABY-JEDI]

It means it's a win for gamers & more money for Kojima.. Win (wink) Win

[Thecraft1989]

Simple it means everyone can enjoy these amazing games in HD !

[sneekstream]

It means exactly what you asked....

[gamerstation151]

It means nothing. MGS2 and 3 were already on the old xbox anyway.

[gumgum99]

beat me to it. ^_^

[Whitefox789]

MGS 3 was PS2 exclusive.

[MasterCornholio]

Not much really. It just means that 360 owners can play them thats all it is not like the PS3 is loosing the franchise or anything.

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

It means nothing.

[DMLFury]

My God, look at the press this "article" is getting. It's a glorified release date announcement with a few features. Always love the misleading titles. Must be trying to get more traffic and hits so they won't be denied a press badge for E3 next year...

[thespaz]

I think it means that Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be on the Xbox 360.

[Shojin1]

It means epic is behind on bringing Gears to the PS3.

[Tzuno]

Also it means Insomniac is behind on bringing Resistance on 360.

[tickticktick]

It means it's mutiplat now fanboys, so get over it.

[fireplace]

Microsoft published the PC version of MGS.

Metal gear games were made for MSX, a console made by Sony and Microsoft.

MGS2 was also released on PC and Xbox.

That's how exclusive this franchise is.

[BrianC6234]

That part about exclusivity was dumb. No way Sony will make their games for the other consoles and they have a lot of exclusives. That's not going to change.

[aman84r]

It means you're a douchebag if you're looking for a meaning.

[Braid]

Means the 360 owners who have not played MGS games before will have the chance to experience the epicness this game has to offer, which is good.

[stragomccloud]

Doesn't mean anything. Metal Gear solid has always been a multiplatform franchise. It's been on the MSX, NES, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, PC, PS3, PSP, in a way Wii(Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was actually the first game to debut the Gekko and one of the chief MGS4 themes.), and will soon appear on the Xbox 360 and 3DS. That's pretty multiplatform if you ask me.

[Tzuno]

It mean it's on 360 and you can't do nothing about that Mwuahahahahhhh!!! and it means that the developers finally understand that launching multiplatform brings more money because they don't do games for AIR.

[Danniel1]

...um, 360 owners can play MGS?!?!?!?

[gumgum99]

short answer: it means nothing.

seriously, where have you guys been this last generation?

[Whackedorange]

For new gamers it means alot since you can only have one system instead of two if it where a exclusive to either of the plattforms. For older games it dont mean so much since they most likely have played it before.

[MAULxx]

I have never played a Metal Gear game all the way through.
I haven't played much at all tbh. Played a little bit of MGS & MGS2 Substance. If I remember right the d pad is used quite a bit.

Is the d pad utilized alot in Metal Gear?
If so, it will help me determine which version to get.
