I know it was mentioned in the other thread, but this news is big enough that it warrants its own thread, as to not clutter up the other one.

This is simply great news. I'm ashamed to say that I never played MGS3, despite now owning 3 copies of the damn game is each of its releases. I held off on Peace Walker since I hadn't played 3 yet, considering the stories are close to each other. I really enjoyed 4, even if I missed out on some of the story that 3 provided.

I haven't played a Silent Hill game since the first one, and actually went out and grabbed 2 and 3 with the intent on playing them this year. Perhaps I'll wait now.

And I absolutely love the ZOE games. The Second Runner is one of the best PS2 games I've played, and the series as a whole is tremendously overlooked.

I'm surprised they threw this out before the show, as this is a pretty big announcement.

open your mouth

I was surprised these are coming out for the 360. I'm hoping they end up being disc releases seeing as Microsoft has an annoying fetish for no-disc games (i.e. upcoming Halo HD re-release).

nice

... Where the hell are Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid?

Please don't let this be a case of "we can't use the same voices again due to stupid rights issues".

[Bojay1997]

Meh...While I think it's nice that the industry is starting to recognize that some of their great games have some of the same lasting appeal as classic films, I really feel disappointed that companies like Konami with great IP are putting resources into remakes of games only one generation old when they could be producing great new games. I personally have zero interest in replaying any of these games as there are just too many other great games coming out on a regular basis.

Oooh, Metal Gear Solid HD... I might be interested if MGS2 restores the stuff that had to be nixed due to the timing of the release (such as the Big Shell levelling a part of Manhattan). Other than that I don't see much reason not to just stick with the PS2 releases, as HD isn't really that spectacular to me.

As hopeful as I am for a "Director's Cut" Version of MGS2, it would not surprise me if it's just an improved version of Substance. Regardless, I'm still going to snap this up day one, despite already owning MGS2, MGS3, and Peace Walker.

I'll definitely grab those HD Silent Hill re-releases.

[Kellhus]

I will get the Metal Gear Solid Collection because I'm a huge fan, and possibly the Silent Hill Collection because I think it would look very good in HD. I think it's funny Silent Hill 4 isn't in the collection.

[wingzrow]

I wonder if I should throw my copies online now. I wish we had more info, if "born from a wish" from silent hill 2 isn't included ile keep my copy of 2.

[NayusDante]

The screenshots show that the actual models aren't being enhanced, but I'm still really interested in this. To me, it's worth it for 16:9 presentation and digital surround sound.

I will definitely be picking up both the ZOE and Metal Gear collections. I at one point owned all of these titles but traded them in for more games due to being a teenager with no cash.

Although I doubt it I hope that the MGS collections are the substance and subsistence versions of both games. I had never played the MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake but I heard it was included in the "special" edition of Snake Eater. It would be icing on the cake if they were included with the remastered MGS 3.

Uh, considering they rereleased them in the MGS collection a while back, they'll definitely go with the special editions of all games.

I doubt they'll include the old MGS games. Knowing Konami they'll probably include them with the original. I hope. Or sell them separately just to milk a bit more money from the fans.

I was thrilled when I read this yesterday! I'm all over the MGS and Silent Hill remakes, could care a less about ZOE. Why Konami wouldn't remake the original MGS is beyond me? Maybe cuz they remade it on the Cube?

Something is likely planned for that separately since next year is the 25th anniversary of the franchise as a whole.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

Yeah, I'll probably wind up getting the MGS and ZOE HD packages. Even though I wanted it, I still knew they weren't gonna include MGS1 since these arent full remakes just upgrades, kind of like the God of War Collection on the PS3, and the graphics are upped in resolution and some 2D art is enhanced.

One question though if anyone can answer: When they announced the PSP Remaster series for the PS3, they said you would be able to use your PSP save data on the new PS3 release so, for example, if I already beat God of War Ghost of Sparta on my PSP, I could transfer that save over and start with all my maxed out stats on the PS3. Now, with this announcement for the MGS port, will I still be able to use my Peace Walker PSP save on the PS3 game....or have I just misread the original news release?

[Kitsune Sniper]

Nope, that means you can take your save game and keep going with it on the other system. When you're done with that one, you transfer it back to your other system.

It's pretty much explained in the Mega64 trailer.
