Konami HD Collections

E3 2011: Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders HD Collections
(http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1172179p1.html)

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection:

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will contain Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The Zone of the Enders HD Collection will pack Zone of Enders and Zone of the Enders 2. Both collections have been optimized and rebuilt for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with new user interfaces for the HD resolutions, redrawn art, brand new Trophies/Achievements, right analog stick and rumble support, and improved audio.

Metal Gear overlord Hideo 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.

Another feature both collections support is Kojima’s new "lifestyle" called "Transfarring." That is not a typo — Transfarring. Using this system, PlayStation players can have one save that works with PS3 and PSP copies of certain games. Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as the first (and so far only) Transfarring capable title. Start your Peace Walker game on the PS3, copy the save to the PSP, play on the go, and then copy it back to the PS3 to pick up where you left off.

Zone of the Enders HD Collection:

The Zone of the Enders HD Collection is said to support Transfarring, but no PSP versions of these games were announced. Kojima said that he was looking to bring Tranfarring to the NGP, so perhaps that is where we’ll see the ZOE plan come together.

Good news for any Konami fans… cept… where’s the Suikoden package eh?

ps3 port of PW? YES!

I read on Konami’s pre-E3 site that they are including a collection of HD of Silent Hill games. Just 2, 3, and 4 though. Don’t plan on buying them though.

I plan on buying both PS3, XBOX 360 HD BOX Sets for both Regions.

"Snake In"

I’ll totally get the MGS collection. Just got a hold of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance when I went to California (for $15 surprisingly) but have no problem playing it in HD (assuming it’s coming out for 360).

Silent Hill 2 in HD??? I’m so fucking there!

It has 4? I just heard it had 2 and 3.

I’ll revoke your membership if you don’t buy it, Ari.

I think I may have been mistaken. Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/silenthillcollection/index.html) says it will contain the three games, but a different site (http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/06/02/konami-breaks-silence-on-silent-hill-collection/) says only 2 & 3 (as Neg mentioned). I guess Konami is the only one that can answer this question officially.

I don’t see why they don’t add The Room to this collection. Can’t really call it a "Collection" that has two games only.

Neg… I’ll probably buy it, if it’s reasonably priced… like $29.99 or cheaper. 😉

I certainly hope that 4 is on there. There’s plenty of reason why they’d leave it off, though. FF Anthology only has 2 games on it (for the NA release), so it isn’t without precedent to call 2 games a collection.

I don’t really care if it’s full price. It’s 2 and 3, at the very least, and those alone are nothing but pure bliss, in my book.

Wait, Ari, that’s the PS2 one, dude. http://cgi.ebay.com/Silent-Hill-Collection-2-3-4-PS2-PAL-excellent-cond-/280692497917?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item415a939dfd

Interesting. I had no idea they released a collection for the PS2. LOL.

I guess that answers the question if the MGS HD collection is coming to Xbox 360, IDX. Now to preorder it… ugh, too much money spent on games this year already >.<

Konami said on their pre-e3 show it was coming to Xbox 360…

My question is: are the games going to transfer data from PS2 saves of MGS2/Substance and MGS3/Subsistence, or do we have to start all over again from scratch? And why couldn’t they do an HD collection that included Substance and Subsistence, or is that bonus material going to be available as well?

I honestly believe these HD re-releases are going to be brand new games in the sense of saved data. They will not be able to read or register previously saved data for the original releases… so it’s like you’re buying a brand new game and creating saved data for the first time.

Konami said on their pre-e3 show it was coming to Xbox 360…

I don’t really care much for video games anymore. Most of the ones that come out are complete and utter shit now. I have more inclination to read through Guitar World to see upcoming new gadgets than reading a game magazine or watching a gaming show to see what new games are coming up. But that’s just me.

And Revan, I looked it up myself to see and noticed that your post and the article I read did say it was coming to the 360. But I don’t care about changing my post as long as I knew what was going on.

Well…sounds fine, but this remake fashion it�s only for take the money of that game freaks.

I have the PSX game (MGS) and the two PS2 ones (MGS 2 & 3) and i love it, but expend money in the HD versions? naaaa :-\, and there is the matter of time, i played those games over 10 times each for unlock or get everything! :laugh:, i don�t have this time anymore, and i sure it�s not so funny like the first time i did it.

Perhaps i�ll consider the Zone of the Enders version, i don�t played the first game (i have Z.O.E. : The 2nd Runner), only for that, if i have the first one i don�t buy it.

I agree, I just don’t have the time to put into those games again to get all the achievements. If it could take the achievement lists from saved PS2 memory card data on the internal memory drive, then it would be a much more attractive offer. And honestly, I don’t see why they couldn’t make it like that. But as it stands, the most appealing thing about this collection is the PS3 port of PW, which, in my opinion, they should have done a long time ago.

You need an adapter to get PS2 saves onto a PS3 harddrive. And then, even if you can transfer the saves, they’re still only PS2 saves sitting in an emulated memory card. I can imagine why they aren’t doing what you want them to, because I’m pretty sure it’s either very difficult (most likely impossible) and it relies on a device that isn’t manufactured anymore.

I’m pretty sure the PS3 memory card adapter isn’t discontinued; it’s still available for purchase on Amazon, anyway. And I don’t think it’s really asking for them to do the impossible. I know there are some games that are sequels which read data from previous games in order to continue the game as your previous character/stats. I just don’t think it’s really so much to ask for the system to check how many dogtags are collected and how many facepaints are obtained in previous save data. I mean, that information’s available on the actual save itself, right? It doesn’t need to be pulled up by having the actual game in the system. And after putting the effort into remaking the games, I would expect them to be cognizant of the notion of carrying over previous achievements. That’s just my opinion anyway.

There are some games that read data from previous games, but not across generations/platforms. That’s where the difficulty comes in, I imagine.

I already have MGS 1, 2, 3, 4 and Peace Walker Texas Ranger so I’ll be passing on the HD collection. However, you had me at Silent Hill HD Collection.

I must say, if it wasn’t for the Final Mix games, these collections would make my PS2 useless. I own all the MGS games (except any PSP ones) but I have no problem going back and doing everything all over again. It was fun the first time so I’m sure it’ll be fun the second. But that’s with MGS. Silent Hill is a different story lol. I can play that shit all day everyday without getting bored of it…mainly because I seem to notice different things each playthrough.

I can take snapshots of the Beauty and the Beast Corp and Naomi Hunter all day every day.

E3 2011: Silent Hill HD Collection to be PS3 exclusive, include new voice acting — PlayStation Universe (http://www.psu.com/E3-2011–Silent-Hill-HD-Collection-to-be-PS3-exclusive,-include-new-voice-acting–a011975-p0.php)

The fact that it’s PS3 exclusive doesn’t really affect me since I was going to play it on PS3 anyway, but the new voice overs are making me skeptical. It’s going to be on blu-ray so at the very least I think they should let us use the old voices if we want. Yeah, the old voice actors aren’t exactly shining examples of good voice acting, but that’s just how I remember the games and even the slightest change, even if it is for the better, won’t go down well with me.

That’s pretty good that they are adding trophy support. It makes the game more challenging to do achievements such as those. The game coming out in the fall… I wonder if it will be released around the same time as Downpour.

Neg: I will definitely buy this collection now. 🙂

Trophy support was pretty much a given. Sony made it mandatory for every game released after 2009 to have trophies. There are some exceptions of games that came out early 2009 which were in development for a long time before that, and there just wasn’t enough time to add them, but a PS3 game not having trophies in 2011 is out of the question.

Gotcha. I did not know that. I always thought it was odd that the Xbox version of Homecoming had "Achievements", but the trophy support wasn’t added to the PS3 version.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! !!

if mgs3 hd has MGO1, then i will get it.
mgo4 sucks in comparison.

Neg: I will definitely buy this collection now. 🙂

No, now you’re supposed to be upset about the new voice acting. You need to keep up with my ever changing emotions!

I never played silent hill before. this is gonna be siiick.

I’m not a survival horror fan… but I have to admit, I probably will give SH a go… Tried once before and didn’t get into it.

Given how opposite my tastes seem to be compared to you two guys, I’m not exactly optimistic for you.

But, hey, you never know~

Play the original before you play 3, if you can.

no.
he MUST play 1 before playing 3.
he does not have the right to play the third before the first.
doing so will bring the universe upon itself and a new universe will emerge were every single wrong thing in the previous universe does not exist.
war, hunger, unnaturals, religion… the list goes on.
you wouldnt want a worldI am happy with, would you?

3 was the first game in the series that I played.

but youre not him.
point invalid.

plus, you dont fool me, you played the first… first

:notfucking:

ive grown to distrust alec baldwin

Funny how claiming to leave the US if someone wins an election and not following through makes one lose all credibility, ain’t it?

I�m not agree in matter of experience, perhaps this sounds fool to you, but precisely the lack of definition is the angular stone in the first title :shock:(and the incredible sound and "music" of course), then if you played in HD i don�t think you enjoy the title very much as us in their moment, the imagination is more powerfull than any picture or videogame by the simple fact that one thing may not scare at the same rate to 2 persons

Try an emulator with the ISO for the first time, then try the PS3 version, is my opinion 🙂

I recall playing SH3 once awhile back, and while I admit the music and atmosphere was quite good, I just couldn’t get into it. I’m willing to give it another shot though.

]Try an emulator with the ISO for the first time, then try the PS3 version, is my opinion 🙂

Never gonna get it on a PS3, as I’ll never buy a PS3.

Doc said the update blog said it was only going to be on PS3.

If this is true, you’re off the hook.

Ah… in that case no biggie.

Thanks for the clarification Neg 🙂

im getting the MGS collection, esp cause I wouldn’t feel as bad since I got MGS2/3 (both great games) for 10 bucks total and i feel like it could’ve been worth a lot more. It also comes out around my birthday…. tho SotC/ICO are another HD collection i wanna get.

Wanted to bump this because of the recent update, and I also wanted to hear people’s thoughts on this, now that we have actual footage.

Debut Footage Of MGS3 HD Edition Looks Beautiful | Shogun Gamer: Video Game News Community: Interviews, News, Reviews and Forum (http://www.shogungamer.com/news/debut-footage-mgs3-hd-edition-looks-beautiful)

Is it just me, or does it look exactly the same as the previous versions? I know it’s the same exact game so I can’t expect anything different stylistically, but truly I don’t see anything at all different in the detail. Can someone please tell me that my eyesight is just poor, because I’d really like to believe that it’s better quality than the PS2 graphics. The video just hasn’t conveyed that to me at all. 🙁

It’s not like they’re remaking it… they’re just making it so it doesn’t look like shit when you’re playing on your HDTV.

Really? Hm, seems kind of pointless then. I knew that they’re not remaking it, but my point is that it doesn’t look like it conforms with what they described it as being: optimized and rebuilt.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will contain Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The Zone of the Enders HD Collection will pack Zone of Enders and Zone of the Enders 2. Both collections have been optimized and rebuilt for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with new user interfaces for the HD resolutions, redrawn art, brand new Trophies/Achievements, right analog stick and rumble support, and improved audio.

But who knows, maybe their wording just means the same thing as making it not look like shit on HDTV. I don’t have an HDTV, so is there any point to me getting it (besides for Peace Walker, b/c I don’t have a PSP either)?
