Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection has shipped to retailers. That means you should be able to pick it up tomorrow or in the next couple of days to be well versed in Solid Snake's saga. The 3 game compilation includes Metal Gear Solid (PSone), Directors Cut of Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance (PS2) and Directors Cut of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence (PS2) for $29.99.
Being a multi-Playstation platform release, which many Playstation 3 gamers may be considering in preparation for Metal Gear Solid 4, take note on some differences on compatibility.
Fans of the Metal Gear Solid series can attest that there is no shortage of deep topics and criticism in their beloved games, many of which appear as recurring themes in each installment.
One of the more overlooked recurring themes is the criticism of centralized power and its consistent push for decentralization. In each game the message is clear: centralized global power by one government or organization is a major threat to world peace, more so than terrorism, political unrest, or economic instability.
i actually did good on a history exam from the cuba missile crisis and all that stuff, thanks to MGS 3 Sneak Eater
RespawnAction writes: "The God of War collection was released last month and offered an HD visual upgrade to God of War 1 and 2. This got me thinking about what other games could benefit from an HD remake. Remember the great titles you played way back when on the non-HD systems? Remember how great they were? Could you imagine how they'd be when played on your home theater setup in 720p? Or possibly full 1080p? If one of your favorite games doesn't make the list, please add it in the comments..."
but I'd still love to have ICO and SotC on bluray HD!
and the first 3 devil may crys!
heck yes FFX, and I wouldn't mind getting
Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 in HD as well.
All the Metal Gear Solids. MGS2 and 3. Even MGS1. Fcuk it while your at it make MG and MG2 Solid Snake in hd. Yea I know they are 8 bit, but I wouldn't mind playing MG and MG2 in 8 bit hd glory. MGS1 with PS1 grafx in hd would be cool as well. Well, for me at least.
But they would run out and buy the Halo collection (On 2 DVDs of course) in a heart beat.
1·MGS2
2·MGS3
3·RE4
4·RE DA (Think I'm the only one in Earth that love this game)
5·SoTC
6·ICO
7·DMC
8·TM Black
9·J&D Series
10·Many more....
MGS2, MGS3 and ZOE2 rerelease for PS3 and I'm cool.
I never played SotC, so if Sony would rerelease it for PS3 I would go buy it.
DDR (all versions on one blu ray with every song available from the start)
Street Fighter Alpha Anthologies
Silent Hill 2
Namco X Capcom
Dark Cloud 1-2
GTA 3-San Andreas
There's a lot more but I can't think at the moment, Uncharted 2 online calling
Only if those CGI scenes can be made HD as well and since they weren't able to with the GOW Collection what hope is there for FFX?
I'd much rather have HD upgraded games than BC. I have a BC compatible PS3 and some games did not age well for HD.
If they do, they could just go back an re-render it in HD.
But it really depends on how much the original company takes part in the HD remake.
Santa Monica barely took part in the GOW collection, mainly because they were still working on GOW3.
Killzone and Black introduced the most realistic animations in FPS.
But Black beat Killzone, and every other FPS game during that era, in graphics.
PS: We need more Mech games like ZOE2.
of course everyone would want to zero shift IN hd ...
KOjima is busy right now but he said he will make it ( zoe3 ) so if konami want a reassurance( given how many units the game sold in europe alone ) a hd remake might be good
I would love to see GTA Vice City and San Andreas, remade with the GTA IV engine... That would keep me very happy for a LONG time.
Kotaku: In case you missed it, Google unveiled for the first time today their fancy new Chrome operating system. Why do we care? Because its debut trailer managed to sneak in a little Metal Gear, that's why.
Get to around the 1:49 mark of the clip and you'll see that somebody on the Chrome team likes their coffee. And their Kojima Productions crew. And we also find that Snake would be far more punctual, if only he subscribed to Google's particular brand of task management.
PC is an open arcitecture and is about time there will be an OS to compete against MS. Competition is good, right? Hopefully the days of MS' dominance in the PC OS arena will end soon. MS has gotten away with marginal improvements their OS for too long. I hope gaming becomes a focus and that Devs support both Windows and Chrome OS equally. Look at the competition between Nvidia vs ATI or AMD vs Intel. Competition has helped push those companies to new heights and will most likely have a similar affect with PC OS'.
so what happened to linux all of a sudden?
I really would like to see more optional OS support for the "PC" segment. Being able to purchase a new PC with an OS of my choice would be nice. I would like a new Dell or HP but instead of windows I would like either Leopard or Mandrake or this new Chrome.
If cars can be made with options from color, interior, engine displacement and practically everything else...why can't a PC.
but for the more tech savvy users. At least the last time I tried it a few years ago. Google Chrome OS is geared more for the mainstreram. Beautiful thing about the PC is it's customization and it would be nice to have another option other than Windows when buying a new PC. I'm sure Chrome OS will be cheaper to boot. I just hope PC gaming is a focal point which will help push the OS. I really want someone to duke it out nose to nose with MS. Kind of like when AMD first went against Intel. It's at least just another viable option. Yes options are great and it's the beauty of PCs.
Omg I couldnt stop laughing, that is great! SNAKE BE ON TIME!
As for the OS if 7 didnt come out, id say this looked good. However its too basic and lacks the "looks interesting" display that 7 and Mac OS brought to their respective parties. I think Google needs to make it look better no matter how well it runs. To me its basically just google chrome the internet browser taking over your entire PC.
picking this guy up tomorrow along with RSV2!
With AAA like MGS-TEC no wonder the even the PS2 destroys the xbug 180.
Finally, I can get Substance sheesh.
"- "Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance" and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence" are only backwards compatible on 20GB, 60GB and 80GB Playstation 3 Systems (not on 40GB)."
Well no S lol
i'll have to wait another week or so to get this.
