I'll be honest... I'm a little underwhelmed. Although, I dont know what I was expecting.

[Grim Reaper]

thx for the pics.

[AranhaHunter]

Box art is garbage like all other collections' box art. Games are top notch though, so will buy for sure.

[Shin-Ra]

With three games they can't do a one-game-each-side reversible cover like the EU ICO/SotC collection. They could do something with less logos at least.

[Denoku]

Snake Eater is the best game ever made! I can't wait for this.

thing is, MGS games have always looked good in still shots. The big improvements will come from viewing the games in motion, particularly Snake Eater, which suffers from tons of aliasing, texture shimmering, and some nasty framerates particularly in the end chunk of the game.

Different strokes I supposed. The original camera system is classic Metal Gear and forces you to be more resrouceful and do more Recon. The Subsistence camera does make the game a smoother/more streamlined play experience, but it turns the whole game into an actioney run and gunner. Whereas the game was deliberately designed with pacing and so that only certain sections were supposed to be like that. For example, the climb up the mountain to Groznyj Grad. In the orignal release, the camera angle is tweaked here to encourage a more "rambo"-like play style.

Yes.

The Substance/Subsistence versions of MGS2/3 will be used, but not necessarily all the extra content will be included. Metal Gear Online from MGS3 especially seems unlikely.

I am more curious as to whether MGS2 will get a user-controlled camera.

I really hope it does!

[Shin-Ra]

MGS2's environments are much tighter so I can't see that working well. They'd have to do a lot of extra work allowing the camera to over hand-rails and stuff that was never needed originally.

[SoCalTiger]

Oh cool. So now I can have trophies in all those games and MGS4 too. Oh wait a minute...

[The Apocalypse]

This seems like an excellent collection and I'll probably pick it up sometime, although I still need to complete MGS4.

Hideo Kojima Talks Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Peace Walker HD, PS Vita

These days, Hideo Kojima is a busy man. The Metal Gear mastermind recently revealed that the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is heading to the PS3 this November. The HD Collection includes revamped versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, complete with dual-analog-stick controls, 1080p graphics, smoother frame rates, a redesigned user interface, rumble support and much more.

We caught up with Kojima last week at an appearance in Mexico City and he was eager to speak with PlayStation.Blog readers. Enjoy the Q&A, and leave your favorite Metal Gear moments in the comments!

[The Apocalypse]

I'm not sure about purchasing HD collections, they're not "true" remakes, (à la Halo Anniversary) and I have to wonder just how much better. That's not to say I won't get them, definitely interested in this, Shadow of the Colossus/ICO and Silent Hill at least. I also need to complete MGS4 before I get these.

[Mavrick]

recent tweet from Hideo Kojima:

Re-recording for “MGS HD (MGS3)” in progress today, and the voice actors from MGS are here from the morning.


And one of the best things about the HD remakes are trophy support.
