Are the same people handling the ZoE HD collection? Because I think this might be the most quality HD collection yet.

Yeah, Bluepoint is handling those as well.

I don't buy character consistency as a valid argument when it comes to Snake though. In terms of his personality, he changes himself like every 5 seconds during the course of MGS1. Then in terms of his abilities, he's able to take down the best soldiers in the world, a HIND D!, a tank and finally a laser equipped super machine with the ability to launch a nuke. Kojima likely just forgot to add the missile jumping the first time around.

I don't remember him changing drastically in MGS1 scene to scene, and he took down all that stuff while standing on the ground and using military hardware. Actually, taking down tanks and helicopters happens in every other video game. Anyways, he's more like Dante than "Snake" in Twin Snakes.

 

[Wario64]

Uhh...shooting the flying vehicle dudes in MGS3 with a tranquilizer doesn't count as a kill, right? I just shot them with the mk22 and they fell and exploded....shit. I'm doing the no kill run right now


Edit: Ah fuck, doesn't matter now. Just TNT'd a supplies base and a sleeping soldier got caught in the blast. Fucking a. No run kill next time I guess.

Nope. You're good.

The following do not count as kills in MGS3:
- Giving enemies poisonous foods and causing them to die from food poisoning
- Tranquilizing enemies on hover platforms and causing them to crash
- Tranquilizing enemies on motorcycles and causing them to crash
- Killing any kind of animal
- Killing enemies by means of an exploding oil drum (No, I'm not kidding)

Well let's see...Snake starts off as a ladies man (abandons this about 30 minutes in), turns into a grizzled vet who believes everyone is full of shit, turns into a slightly considerate man, goes back to being a grizzled vet, turns into a man who can love a woman he met 2 hours ago, turns into a cry baby who longer believes in war, turns into a philosopher and finally turns into a man who falls in love a woman he met 6 hours ago and now wants to settle down with.

Basically it goes
Not Crazy
Kind of Crazy
Not Crazy

Crazy

Batshit Insane


Also, you need to be amazing to do what Snake did. Coordinated to the point that you could jump onto a missile.

Batshit Insane

I'll take your word for it if you played recently, because I just remember Snake being pretty cut and dry outside of scenes concerning deaths or responding to Otacon's questions.

That's Twin Snakes take. The craziest thing I remember MGS1 Snake doing was dodging Ocelot's first bullet out of intuition by jumping out of the way. Without flips.

hopefully getting this within the next couple of days. any hangups/concerns related to the transfarring process?

The only major thing appears to be the restrictions on trophies for save files not started on that particular PS3; other than that, it's painless.

 

[ChoklitReign]

I'm having a lot of trouble on the first tank boss in MGS1 (yes, the SECOND boss).

Spoiler

There are only two spots for cover on each side of the field, which suck ass, and my grenades usually fly past the cockpit. I waste so many grenades that the chaff grenades wear off and I get pwned by the main gun. I need to know how to defeat this bastard as quickly as possible.

 

[Red Blaster]

More Twin Snakes garbage? Someone post the doorflip video again.

 

[polyh3dron]

Yeah, Bluepoint is handling those as well.(ZOE HD)

omg a HD version of ZOE2 of this caliber with the anime scenes remastered in HD would be one of the most amazing things ever

 

[burgerdog]

Does the 360 version of pw still have that Sony branded radio from one of the opening scenes?

 

[JohngPR]

I get mine tomorrow. Can't wait to see Olga's glorious arm pit hair in HD.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

People hate

Spoiler

Boss' being converted into an AI

, yet they like stupid garbage like

Spoiler

Otacon having sex with his step mom, Emma Emmerich, and defend statements like "I LIVE ON THROUGH THIS ARM", and "Fortune" magically waving missiles away

.

I don't care what you do to try and convince me, but the story went into insane territory after 2. Peace Walker is tame by comparison.

 

[Ridley327]

Well, you should brace yourself for impact then, because that's what it's looking to be.

A shame you have to buy ZOE1 with it.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

So surprised to hear the UPS man knocking at the door at 6:45PM with my game. I don't even want to think of how many hours I am going to spend on these games. Will probably try and platinum them too. Although I have never really given a damn about trophies. They will encourage me to do stuff I have never done before in this game.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

This HD collection is amazing. Starting off with Snake Eater first. Hahah so buttery smooth looking.

 

[~Kinggi~]

So this is a great HD port? How are the loading times?

Spoiler

Basically, I just throw a chaff grenade, then throw a real grenade on top of the tank, then throw another chaff grenade, then a real grenade onto the tank... repeat until victory... I never hide or look for cover, just run around the tank dodging and tossing grenades... I've been doing it this way since 1998.

Fffffffff, the ps3 version of peace walker tears at the top of the screen.

Thanks to trophies, I'm hunting and eating every single animal I can find

Are you playing at 720p or 1080p?

 

[burgerdog]

Are you playing at 720p or 1080p?

Have my ps3 set to 1080p and 720p. So far both mgs3 and pw output at 720p(I assume that msg2 will do the same.) I didn't notice a single tear in the five hours that I've put into mgs3, however.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I like that even though Konami didn't redo any in-game assets you can tell they didn't just slap this together from the FMV intro sequences alone. They've been upscaled and have had some HD graphics overlayed in a few parts which helps mask that it really is just upscaled SD videos.

Only thing that kinda looks bad to me is the MGS2 intro bridge sequence which cuts back and forth between slow motion and 60FPS... they probably should have limited it to 30 FPS until the title card.

 

[funkystudent]

so do these games run in 1080p?


havent had a good 1080p game since getting a new TV but I might buy it just for that.

 

[RedSwirl]

Gonna have to give up on a no kill run for mGS3. The CQC system is way too finicky. Having the difference in button pressure separate a knockout from a kill was one of the worst ideas ever.

 

[vatstep]

YES, my 360 LE will be here tomorrow! I ordered late and it wasn't estimated to arrive until next week, but I just got a surprise shipping e-mail. How lovely.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Still hasn't shipped with Amazon. I called my local Gamestops and they all say they don't have any that I can buy, because they are preordered copies. Upon asking how long they hold them, they said "until they pick them up because they put money down". I questioned them why they aren't following their website that says you have 48 hours to pick it up and that I would give them the money NOW and they had some smart ass remark. SHIP ME MY GAME AMAZON!

 

[tenz0r]

I couldn't find any info in the OP (unless I missed it), and don't really feel like going through each page to see if anyone asked, but does the PS3 version come with a PSN code for Metal Gear Sold 1?

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Gotta love it! I am in a chat on Amazon and they said "Sorry, but the item is out of stock". How and the hell are they out of stock, especially for someone who preordered?!

EDIT: They actually told me "it's available from other sellers". The point is that I preordered and I don't have my copy. WTF?!

Either Konami didn't send out enough copies or Retailers didn't want that many copies because they wanted to focus on MW3... whatever the case though, I think MGS HD probably has more demand than someone in the chain of retail anticipated... at least at certain retailers.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

The Amazon guy is telling me that a pre-order only means I will pay the price I "locked in" at the time of the order and it doesn't mean I reserved it. What a load of crap.

 

[chifanpoe]

Are you playing at 720p or 1080p?

I don't think they output 1080p on the PS3 i tried on all 3 and they all went to 720p. Turning 720p mode off on my ps3 and only have 1080p selected made them output at 480p.

 

[benzy]

Never played Subsistence so the full 3D camera control is an awesome addition.

when did you put in the pre order?

October 29th.

No. That's only for the Japanese release.

Any 360 owners able to confirm if that version also has tearing?
edit - talking about peace walker.

 

[chifanpoe]

No. That's only for the Japanese release.

Any 360 owners able to confirm if that version also has tearing?

I have been playing on the PS3 about 10 hours total across all 3 games at 720p and have seen zero tearing.

 

[Data West]

My Gamestop had like 3 PS3 CEs preordered 1 360 CE preordered and like two extras
The Toys R Us didn't even get the game in

 

[tenz0r]

No. That's only for the Japanese release.

Thanks!

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

October 29th.

I think it's probably safe to say that those who ordered late, such as you and I, are fucked. I don't do a lot of transactions with Amazon since I save more money with K-Mart when it comes to games, and I'll certainly be hesitant to give them any more business in the future after this fucking fiasco. I'll give them another business day, but after that, vanilla edition here I come. I just want to play at this point.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

My Gamestops only got enough for preorders, with no extra apparently.

 

[whalleywhat]

Holy shit, obscene amount of compression on one of the little 'cure' movies.

 

[SoulClap]

BAHAHAHHAHAH just got the

trophy. I didn't think it was remotely possible for me to like MGS 2 more than 3 but this might have pushed me over the edge. Greatest trophy/achievement of all time?

So it wasn't just me. For a second I thought it was playing a movie in vivo/rm format or something.

[RedSwirl]

Jesus Christ MGS3 looks so clean.

I'm probably gonna sample a bit of Peace Walker tomorrow, then come back and finish MGS3 if for no other reason than fighting The Boss. I might give 2 another shot somewhere down the road.

 

[burgerdog]

Like I said, mgs2 and 3 don't tear. Peace Walker definitely does, you just haven't noticed it or have overscan on your tv.
