Īccording to the Amazon description, the games included are It appears that the OP has incorrect information showing for the Western general release HD Collection. The European release is coming with (from what I understand) all 7 MGS games (be it downloadable or on disc), but still ALL 7.right? Is this correct?! IF so, any North American fan should be absolutely OUTRAGED. Can any of you confirm this for me? This NTSC version (limited or not) of MGS HD Collection is coming with 3 out of order games and will be MISSING: With this release, the prices for the Zavvi Limited version will start to fall on eBay.Ĭan any of you please explain to me the absurdity of this NTSC version (limited or standard)? Why on fucking earth is Hideo Kojima and Sony allowing this to release in North America with only 3 fucking games? 3 games. I'm hoping EU also gets this edition! I love big arts books Hopefully Amazon.ca gets this, great find. Guess it's time to identify those destined for the bargain bin The publishers really working hard to get our money Seems like every other day there is a new announcement. Wow nice! Another LE announced for the year end. Why can't they just make it the same as Japanese side?Īlso the US art book cover is pretty lame (I like jap ver. Then go ahead and play the rest of the saga, which only improves from the second game onward.Yes, I kinda know this will coming out eventually
If you’re interested in getting started with Metal Gear and have the money to burn on mediocre ports, these GOG versions are at least affordable and DRM-free to play on PC or take with you to play on the go.īut if quality matters to you more than convenience, you can do far better and should avoid purchasing these so you can experience the games the way they were meant to be.
Of course, these PC ports do mean potential new mods in the future that can polish the graphics and the games in general to a point that Konami obviously couldn't be bothered with, but that's a ways off. It will be a bit of work to procure a copy, but it'll be a much better experience than what this PC port is offering. In fact, you may be best served starting with the fantastic (yet pricey) Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, which released on GameCube. These are the best games to get started with the sprawling, sometimes confusing narrative.īut are these the best way to play the games? Speaking in terms of enjoying the Metal Gear saga in general, absolutely. It appears this is another set of ports from Konami that, like the recent Super Mario 3D All-Stars Switch ports, rely more on fans' preference for convenience than performance.īut while the Mario titles got at least a modicum of polish and updates to give them a bit of a visual boost, these releases appear to be simple ports to PC. It doesn't seem as though there's anything extra to the releases either. As a result, they're much muddier than they should honestly look in 2020, and they don't appear to be optimized the way you'd expect a game like this to be in the current year. This isn't the first time these games have debuted on PC, but they've gone without a re-release in some time. Unfortunately, there's no indication that these releases have been given anything but meager polish now that they're on a new platform. You could also get the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for just over $20 to play Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and the former PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. This package also includes the original Metal Gear Solid and its included VR Missions, all for $5 less than purchasing all three GOG releases on PC. It includes a menagerie of Metal Gear entries: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Edition, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition. However, you could instead purchase the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection for $25 via Amazon.
Metal Gear, the game that started it all, is available for $5.99. It’s exciting to see these games make their way over to PC, but they’re little more than convenient ways to own DRM-free versions of some of the earliest Metal Gear titles.įor $9.99 apiece, you can get Metal Gear Solid, with its included VR Missions, or Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, with all its additional Substance-exclusive content. While this is great news for players who have somehow opted out of owning a PlayStation (or even a GameCube), this Konami-released set of ports isn't the best way to get into the series.
After being unavailable for nearly two decades on PC, the acclaimed Metal Gear Solid series and their precursor Metal Gear are finally up for purchase via GOG.com.
