The collection wouldn't happen to have Japanese audio + English subtitle options on the discs, would it? I've always wanted to do some playthroughs with Akio Otsuka voice acting, ever since the amazing E3 2000 trailer.

Has it been confirmed that the game's framerate never dips below 60? The videos in OP look stable but there weren't any heavy particles or action happening. The past metal gears always had this problem when there were lots of explosions on screen.

Being from the UK, I have no idea what release to buy. Whilst I love MGS 2 and 3 and am looking forward to playing them in HD, I could probably wait to February. It's the lure of having Peace Walker, which was outstanding first time round on PSP, online and on my TV that makes me want to buy the US version. November is packed but so is February next year.

This HD collection is not in 3D, as opposed to the GoW Origins one.

If you ever tried MGS3 on a BC PS3, man... the fight against The Fury is literally a slideshow haha.

Are people really raging about TS because of the new cutscenes and music? I never actually finished all of TS, but it didnt look THAT bad, unless it takes some fantastical dive at the end?

There's nothing that really redeems Twin Snakes. Never mind the changes made to the cutscenes, music and voice acting, but the gameplay has been fucked up too! The MGS 2 AI wasn't designed for these environments and as a result, makes for a frustrating experience (especially towards the end of the game when you switch to disc 2!), with certain environments that were designed to allow for sneaking and hiding no longer working properly (fuck that Metal Gear PAL code section!). The new actions from MGS 2 are unneccessary and largely useless (except for 1st person aiming, which is overpowered), certain aspects of boss battles no longer work properly (Vulcan Raven tank battle) and some boss battles are now completely broken! (Revolver Ocelot)

And another pet peeve of mine, those fucking trap doors. In the original MGS, they're fairly easy to avoid and walk around, but in Twin Snakes, they're like a fucking magnet! The collision detection is fucked up and it is aggravating!

And if that wasn't enough! The VR Missions are gone completely! What a disaster! Hell! Even the graphics are worse IMO (they're technically better, but lose all the charm that they had with the original version. It's visuals are now just a worse looking version of MGS2's, with no charm or style of their own)

BTW: There's still no word on MGS3's online mode returning for this release is there? :(

It has been confirmed on Twitter that MGS3 has no online, only PW.

Ugh! They go out of their way to add net code to a game that never had online, but they don't bother to keep the online play for a game that already has the net code already done!

Bloody typical.

Local multiplayer only.

What about Ad-Hoc? I was able to play with people online through it. There was both the co-op portion AND competitive multiplayer. I'm curious if the competitive MP portion will be available in Peace Walker. I don't think anyone knew about it. :( It's the same Metal Gear Online formula that has been established and it had tons of new features that even MGS4 didn't.

Adhoc is local multiplayer. You're probably thinking of Adhoc Party, which is a tunneling application (basically a program that takes a LAN or wireless LAN connection and routes it so that it connects through the internet)

The game was never designed for online play on the PSP. Adhoc Party is a sort of hacky way of getting it to work online, when it wasn't supposed to. This new HD version though will support proper online play.

All these people saying they won't play PW. It was a bloody great game, barring that ridiculous plot point.

Except for the crappy boss battles and the ridiculous grinding (seriously?! grinding in a MGS game?!)

Peace Walker is a great game. With better frame rate and controls it will be even better.

I hope they don't half ass on the multiplayer component of the game. I want proper PSN support. No adhoc party BS.

So what graphical improvements have been made other than 60FPS? Did they upscale the games? Re-do some of the textures?

I barely did any grinding. If you just want to beat the SP game, grinding is hardly required.

But if you want to go for all the upgrades and build mechs etc then yeah...

I don't think I did any grinding, and the boss battles were decent enough. Only grinding you'd have to do would be for building your Metal Gear.

Mgs 3 was server based.It doesn't matter if the 'netcode was already there!!!1'. Anyone thinking konami would host servers for this re-release is delusional.

Pack is looking great. Looking forward to co-op PW.

This is great but the title lettering should really be white.

It'd be much easier to read.
Click to expand...

Tried that (at least on the 360 cover) and the white font was just as difficult to read. Sorry.

I'm also probably going to leave the PSN logo on there because the game has multiplayer (and is a pretty core element of PW). My policy.

This, i only fought some bosses repeatedly to get parts for my MG. And i stopped playing after the final battle, before the elite versions of bosses. Those would require grinding and/or too much patience.

The redubbed voices, altered music/cutscenes and Nintendo references? Of course not, they butchered the original to death. TS's only redeeming quality were the graphics.

I like MGS's graphics. I find them charming.

I'm a huge MGS fan but that Limited Edition is pretty steep for just a book. I want to see what's in it.

It is tempting, but I just can't justify spending that much on an artbook I may look at only a few times.

In order to unlock the final act of the campaign, you have to grind.

Act 5 is something that shouldn't have happened at all.

I really enjoyed it but like it the least of the MGS games, don't like the plot direction and what they did with the Boss (she was done perfectly in MGS3, there is no need to add anything more).

Also didn't like the fact that the extra missions reused a lot of the areas from the single player campaign, this makes SP less special for me. Holding ppl up was also kind of game breaking.

You did not unlock every Eva's tape&other stuff like that did you ?
They ruin Metal Gear as far as I'm concerned.

Spoiler for everybody: Apparently The Boss is responsible for every single things that happened on earth between 1940~ and 1964 :|

Felt the same, really wanted to stack PW with Portable Ops as not canon.

Still my favorite Metal Gear game. It sits comfortably amongst my Top Five™, even after all these years.
