Gaming Rumor: Metal Gear Solid Trilogy HD coming?

[Ssx9]

Because one may be in the works for the PlayStation 3, according to a new report, which indicates that Metal Gear Solid and its two PlayStation 2 sequels may get a high-def facelift.

CVG cites the UK's Official PlayStation Magazine, which says that it's heard "insider whispers" that the first three Metal Gear Solid games are in the "facelift queue." That's straight up rumor, with no confirmation from Sony or Konami. But there's clearly a precedent for these products, with rumors of HD collections of God of War, Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider games bandied about before they were officially announced.

CVGAn HD reworking of the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy is on the way to PS3, according to 'insider whispers' heard by the ears of the UK's Official PlayStation Magazine.

In the mag's new issue, in stores now, it reports that Snake is "in the facelift queue", and that the "first three" MGS games are set to be reborn in High Definition.

No details of release window, price or whether the trilogy will be a boxed or digital product are given.

However, any reworking of Kojima-san's much-loved original trio will be music to the ears of PlayStation nuts, with the games still very much considered classics of the genre.

We've contacted Sony and Konami for comment.

As a huge MGS fan, all I can say is "Hell Yeah!" This can be kinda pointless, sadly, since MGS3 Is being ported with new features for the 3DS, MGS2 is good, but not really the best MGS in my opinion, and I can't really imagine a HD quality in a PS1 game.


Not saying this game is useless or not worth buying, I'm pretty sure it's going to be worth the money (Plus trophies), but I bet if they had released it in 2010 it would be more worth it.

Nevertheless, it's going to be great to have all the 3 games in 1 PS3 disk. I wanted to buy that pack that came with the 2 PS2 games and the PS1 MGS, but I only have a slim.

Maybe for MGS1 it'll be an HD port of Twin Snakes from the GC. It could be neat.

If this rumor is true, this will be instant buy for me!

I highly doubt it. Not only would they need permission from developer Silicon Knights, Nintendo would have to agree on it as well.

I own all of these games, but for a low price it might be nice to have them all on the same platform. They would really need to change something though. MGS isn't a game that you can just run in HD to make it look pretty; it's over 10 years old.

Also, I want MGS4 trophies

Well, if they SERIOUSLY reworked MGS1, or got the rights from nintendo and knights, then who knows this package could be lots o' fun.

great

and i hope the price tag will be reasonable - consider waht your getting for lets say 60$ if its the whole 3 games ! (improved)

wow !

I thought Konami still owned rights to the game, they only released it on Nintendo AFAIK and they got no ownership over it and if there was an exclusive rights contract, it's most likely expired by now anyway

My understanding Konami was too busy with other projects to port the game over. They instead gave promisson to ther other company with nintendo.

thatdoesn't mean they own it, that means konami just paid someone else to do their work.
