Kojima Announces Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

Here is some news that will put a smile on the faces of every Metal Gear lover out there. All of our prayers were finally answered, as Kojima announced the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

MGS mastermind Hideo Kojima revealed the news during Konami’s pre-E3 conference.

The HD bundle will contain Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and will be available for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. With this said, all rumours can be put to rest, as its official now that Peace Walker, originally a PlayStation Portable exclusive, is to evolve into a port not only for the PS3, but for the 360 too.

All three games will be revamped with HD graphics, improved audio, redrawn art, and brand new Trophies/Achievements. The control system will also be reworked to compliment the platforms that the collection will be ported to.

Kojima pointed out that while Peace Walker is part of the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, it is not part of the PSP Remaster series.

A feature that will be exclusively available to PS3 fans as part of the bundle is “Transfarring”. This allows gamers to play Peace Walker and transfer the save data between their PS3 and PSP, giving you the opportunity to play the same PS3 data on your PSP if you need to be on the move. Although an awesome idea, scepticism still circulates, particularly amongst Trophy hunters, as no word has being given to what would happen if you earned a Trophy while using the PSP (considering it’s a system that does not support Trophies). Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the first ever game to possess this “Transfarring”.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be available this November.
