Metal Gear Solid to be released on PSN

Konami look set to announce that the ultimate Metal Gear Solid experience, MGS for the PSOne, will be making its way to Sony's Playstation Network sometime in the next month, after the launch of Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots. Along with further rumours that they are also planning to launch a software update with MGS4 to include cross media bar integration and those infamous trophies, it seems this is another rumoured aspect of the MGS saga.

[Euphrate]

It would excellent sense, if they uploaded the MGS1 remake ( with MGS4 graphics) on PSN.

Launch day surprise is either that, or the trophies and XMB.

[mistertwoturbo]

Highly doubt it's going to be re-made with MGS4 graphics. I'm pretty sure they devoted they're time into making MGS4. And even being re-made with MGS4 graphics, it would have to be on a blu-ray disc.

[sonarus]

MGS1 remake withh MGS4 graphics deserves a lot more than psn. I say keep it original and polish the graphics up and its a win

[Andronix]

The original is a classic.
I was actually hoping Sony would get around to releasing it on the PSN before the release of the new game. That way it would have been great advertising for newcomers to Metal Gear, and it could remind old timers of the plot. As it is, (i dont have the original on cd) im having to watch MGS1 on YouTube!

Anyway. it would be great news if true.

[Lifendz]

epic PS1 games I'd like to see on PSN. Good stuff.

[mistertwoturbo]

They really need to just bring FF7 on the PSN already. I am not buying that game for $75 on amazon lol

[Maverick_]

Freaking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[Ric Flair]

.

[crimsonfox]

IT'S FLAIR!!!

EDIT:whoever is on a dissing fox spree is getting on my nerves-_-

b!tch

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

It's probably a crybaby xBot Lemming!!!;-D
There Not getting MGS4(for sure)+MGS1(maybe) AWW!!!;-D Never mind!!!

[You bought an Xbox]

You getting dissed

Ha Ha

[Veryangryxbot]

Didnt they say MGS, a game with totally no connection to the crapbox whatsoever, would somehow make its way to LIVE?

WOW talk about total nonsense and ownage.

Bots like to do the fanboy dance prematurely but looks like they got it wrong again.

Prematurely and bots are synonyms of eachother.

[Roth]

Finally a PS1 game that I actually want to play....

[riksweeney]

Apart from Final Fantasy VII you mean?

*ducks*

[Roth]

Well of course heh. Maybe right after Final Fantasy XIII comes out in 2067, they'll put Final Fantasy VII on there for us :)

[gerol]

haha 2067!

i cant wait for ff13

[mistertwoturbo]

Bad news guys. FFXIII has been delayed to Q4 of Fiscal 2068. So no 2067 release.

[MaximusPrime]

PSN yes
Xbox live No

[cp68]

Not bad, although i hoped for a remake using the MGS4 engine..i mean they have it running, it shouldn;t take that much time doing remakes of MG/MGS series.

[Euphrate]

They never said whether it was a remake or the game itself. It would excelent sense, if they uploaded the MGS1 remake ( with MGS4 graphics) on PSN.

Launch day surprise is either that, or the trophies and XMB.

[Mr PS3]

" The 360, is also being touted to recieve the original Playstation classic very shortly, if reliable sources are to be believed"

Read that Bot's
How Good is that
You'll be playing a Playstation Classic on your Xbox HA HA( Not that you Cave Dwellers Deserve it )
And it will be better than any classic you've got on your console to date FACT !!!
And you'll never see me playing an Xbox classic(Not like the Xbox has any classic's)on my PS3 !!! NEVER !!!
FACT

Also MGS4 as a FPS is better than halo
Also MGS4 as 3rd person is better than gear 2 by a mile
Conclusion
MGS4 is Game of the Decade
Only on PS3
2 Days
Next Gen Gaming at its Finest !!

[crimsonfox]

sense...

xbl? come on...

EDIT:look at that dissed by a b!tch

[SL1M DADDY]

It would only make sense to release this on the NA and Euro PSN's since if I recall correctly, it is already out on the Japanese PSN. The XBL rumor made me lol.

And yeah, only idiot fangirls disagree without posting up a reason for such. lol

[White-Sharingan]

lmao @ Xbox fans disagreeing with you

lets see how many disagree with me =]

[Alexander Roy]

About effin' time.

[name]

Looks like someone confused their rumors a bit.

[TheTwelve]

Called wishful thinking.----12

[ustayclassyn4g]

*head explodes*

[sandip787]

good job. IMO this should have been done a few weeks ago, before MGS4 actually came out.

[GVON]

if it was twin snakes I would, even though I still play it on the wii, upscaled to 1080p would rule

[snappywave]

I rather play my original ps1 copy in my 60 gb ps3. The resolution is top notch that way.

[Altis1]

The only good PS1 game as well as the best MGS to date. Its about time.

[SL1M DADDY]

Didn't like GT? COme on, there had to have been a few games other than MG that you liked on the PSone.

[Altis1]

Whoops, I forgot about Resident Evil and GT. Everything else sucked nuts.

[juuken]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[Zhuk]

Undoubtedly the Xbox Live Arcade version will prove to be superior, with fully updated HD visuals and with award winning features that Only the Xbox 360 can provide

[juuken]

Riiiight.
I may be getting a 360 but there's no way in hell I'm paying $50.00 a year for online service. PSN is still the best and it's only going to get even better.

[Maverick_]

Lame. Go back and read that article about the Xbox brand being dead from 3 days ago.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

He sounds like Pog and Mart!!!;-D

[Keowrath]

Don't mind Zhuk, just leave him to his own little world. Zhuk used to frequent this site, typing essentiality the same thing over and over, he never used to reply, he just did it to get a rise out of people, much the same as pp really. It was quite funny last year because it got to the point where everything he posted was reported as spam.

He's just bitter (still) that Sony came along and raped his Sega machine early last gen. One day he might get over it but until then he'll be spouting the same crap while rocking in a corner somewhere cradling his dreamcast.

[PMR_21]

look @ all the disagrees you received. I hope that's gives you a clue on how skewed and dismissible your opinions truly are.

[crimsonfox]

HAHA WHAT A LOSER.

wtf:does the person whos tracking me track me to dis me funk

[Ali_The_Brit]

1. i will eat my hat if XBL gets MGS
2. do you NEED MGS1 to get over the pain of never getting MGS4?
3. or does it hurt more knowing the 360 hardware simply cant handle MGS4?

[predator]

i wish this came out before MGS4 on the PSN

[Luca Blight]

were 2 of my most wanted games on PSN. Now I can play them on my PSP!

[chasuk08]

So this pretty much outrules the chances of mgs comibg to xbox live

[THE_JUDGE]

XBL, it was a simple mistake right? Everyone gets those mixed up.

[solideagle1]

what can i say Konami is heating the console war into favor of some console which everybody like. if it were to be released on xbla then haters will know y this games is so oooooooooo. SNnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
thanx

[BlackCountryBob]

Sounds great but TBH I was hoping for news on a PS2 conversion of the Twin Snakes from the Gamecube as it is rarer than diamonds. Would have been nice.

I wonder if it will feature te same pricing as the regular PS1 classics or if it will get some special treatment.

[mrguru]

they need to do this more to give the psp a bigger edge. it can run all of those psone games.

[Rims]

just created by xbots to stir up rubbish.

[Kugar77]

will it be regular MGS1 or something like MGS1 HD...still this is awesome news

[Bladestar]

This make sense... It would be stupid on microsoft part to allow any metal gear game on the xbox 360 for a while since it would be a sony/konami strategy to try to take xbox fans... imagine giving Metal Gear 1 to xbox 360 owners while they are signing about Metal Gear 4? That's like adding a PS3 ad directly on xbox live dashboard. Microsoft may be many things but not stupid... that's like releasing Halo 1 for PSN when Halo 4 is about to come out... dumb ehhh? I am sure Sony would love that... but errr... it wouldn't happen.
I think as of now releasing any Metal Gear game on the xbox 360 including Originals would just damage the xbox 360 brand... Microsoft should avoid anything with Kojima's name on it... with kojima's devotion to sony and blu-ray I wouldn't doubt he would add eastern eggs to promote his agenda.

[mistertwoturbo]

Is this really bladestar? No way, there's some logic in that post.

[Pornlord]

I hear people saying that MGS is the only PS1 game they would like to play, there were tons of good PS1 games. What about suikoden, Brigandine, I believe the original Front mission was on PS1 as well.

[ice_prophecy]

Well...

As long as they bring out MGS2 and MGS3 too :D

[jkhan]

Awesome. I just hope Sony announces backward compatibility on 40gb ps3 and put ps2 games on the ps store. That would be awesome:P

[jcgamer]

Agreed!

[himdeel]

...for all region PS1 and PS2 games with firmware. I have a couple of PS1 games from Japan that I'd love to boot up again.

Either way MGS1 is a classic game and I'd love to be able to download it from PSN.

[Lord_Ash]

I will get this if it's the Twin Snake version other wise I already played the original a month ago from the Essential Collection so I’ll pass

[supergamer]

sweet

[Torch]

Man, I can't stress how long I've been waiting for this title to hit the store.

Wouldn't it have made better sense to release it well before MGS4???...y'know, similar to how television networks often air air the previous installments of a film that's about to hit the theatre.

This way, people could've prepped-up for June 12th. My saving grace came in the form of the recently-released MGS: Essential Collection.

Having finished the amazing MGS for the first time just last week, I am officially hyped-up for Thursday.

Only problem is, I want to finish parts 2 and 3 before then.

I'm currently just passed the opening cutscene of MGS2, and on the second floor of the ship...

Think I can pull-off completing an MGS double-installment marathon within, oh...<<calculates time left before midnight of June 12th finally hits>>...36 hours???

Meh, why not!...after all, food, sleep, work, matrimony, and parenthood are just soooooooo Passé these days. ;)

[jcgamer]

bubbles up Torch!

[mistertwoturbo]

MGS2 will take you about 9-10 hours, MGS3 will take roughly 10-12 hours. If you have nothing else to do, you can pull it off with that marathon lol. Good luck.

I myself have just recently beaten MGS1:TS for the GC, MGS2, and playing MGS3: Subsistence all in the past two weeks. Ahhhh cant wait.

[tiropitas]

Most of the best rpgs have been on psone. Suikoden 1 and 2. Final fantasy 7, final fantasy tactics, legends of the dragoon, xenogears to name a few.

[dkgshiz]

That rumor turned out to be for psn, not xbl. That would be really random putting MGS on XBL. PSN was obviously going to get this. I hate 360 fan boys talking crap again

[Kleptic]

it is pretty obvious that MS doesn't really understand Japan...While Capcom has had great success on the 360...its by releasing pretty western games for the most part...MGS, as a series, is a pretty strange franchise to pinpoint...it doesn't focus on all out action, but gives you options in that regard...it is sort of the FF of action games...it sort of appeals to every territory...

it would make little sense for Konami to go through the red tape that is XBLA...when they can simply set it up for emulation on the PS3...its already a licensed PS product, avoiding that whole mess...and being that MGS4 is set to bring in millions more to the franchise, would probably sell quite well for a 'classic' game...

put the MG saga videos on there too...they help tremendously with catching back up with the stories...

I still own MGS though...its not the fairly rare black border (I have the 'greatest hits' green border version)...but it still plays fine...also, how exactly was this 2 disc game supposed to get cut down to fit in the XBLA size requirement?...single disc games range from 80megs (jet moto) to 330megs (twisted metal 2)...both of which are single disc PS1 games...I am not sure how compressed these classic games are on the PSN, but once installed they still take up the same amount of space (you don't download a zipped file, and have it expand on the HDD, which is odd)...who knows...

[PSWe60]

...yeah

[eagle21]

It will be like breathing... :)

[Perkel]

See -->> Japan Store. MGS1 already is there (half a year i supose) but ofc in JPN language ;/

[Obama]

Somebody confused psn with xbl XD. And Kojima just confirmed that mgs4 will stay exclusive on the ps3 in the gamespot interview.
