Metal Gear Solid HD Collection getting limited edition! photo

I believe this is a first, but an HD collection is getting a limited edition version. Then again, it's Metal Gear Solid, so I think Konami's partly justified in this!

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection limited edition comes in fancy packaging and includes a 248-page art book. It's not exactly the most lavish of offers, but as a big fan of MGS, I definitely want it. It's going to look damn pretty on my shelf, that's for sure. 

MGS HD is planned for November 8 and will hit both Xbox 360 and PS3.

Does anyone know if the versions of these games are Substance and Subsistence?

@FireFox516 yes they are, so they include MG1+2 and MG Skateboarding. Mhmm

@FireFox516 afaik mgs3 is subsistence in that it gets the better cam control. Mgs2 isn't substance though.

A chance to buy an artbook for the first MGS games? Getting the games would just be a bonus for me at that point.

Well, I'll probably get it because...well. Yeah.

A steelbook case would have been nice though. Or a free theme or something, or even something useless like a Solid Snake outfit for my avatar. Something in addition to the art book.

What's that black piece of paper? A code I assume, but what for?

I've never played the MGS franchise (well actually a bit of the PSOne version but I have yet to beat it) so I'm definitely getting in on this!!

I'm with you Celica, still yet to play an MGS so this collection is a great thing for me. Also that packaging is super sexy, do want.

If the Fox Engine is capable of "Transfarring", I kind of wonder why it is not in the western release of MGS or ZoE collections. SoA/E just opted for the cloud based saving and left Kojima to dabble with that stuff in Japan.

I personally liked the idea of "Transfarring".

~!~

The main difference with "Transfarring" was that it was an addendum to the built in UI game saves (on the PSP/Vita OS) and the features is found in all games built by the "Fox Engine". Games saves are pretty much being copied over and going from "static" to "active". The unused copies are locked when not on its active platform. This action is que'd up when copied and transfered completely out or in via USB connection. The only way to get a locked PS3 gamesave back is by putting the same game save back in from the Vita.

What differs in Sony's "Cloud save" model found in games such as Ruin, the saves are uploaded to a PSN server (i.e. "Cloud") and are attached to a certain username. There is no extra price or subscription required for game saves "over the cloud" and the service is capable of being used over 3G. The only knock is that if a nephew wants to play a Ps3 game you just "cloud saved" out of the PS3 and your PS Vita game save corrupts, you pretty much need to go back to another separate game save (if you have one). No word yet if "cloud saves" can yield multiple save slots like a virtual 256mb memory card. :)

Just an fyi, apparently Substance and Subsistence don't have the Boss Duel modes, and as a result of MGS3 being on the Xbox, the Ape Escape mini-games won't be in either version.

@Manuel
Irrefutable, factual evidence as to why the game being on Xbox fails. Snake vs Monkey was fucking GDLK.
And now you mention that actually, I'm starting to wonder if some of the Subsistence/Substance extras will be cut out because they don't fit on 2 DVD9s.

Extras like these help justify purchasing these games a second time. I did that with God of War, and while it was nice, I still felt stupid double dipping like that.

Art book!? Fuck yes! MGS art books are bad ass and hard to find. I'm getting this one while the getting's good.

Oh, and the collection looks good, too.

Ten George's more for a 248 page artbook isn't that much of an increase.

Konami really is having good taste recently as that's the art used at TGS.

Where is the limited edition for Xbox with a PSOne and a copy of MGS + VR missions for it? HAWWUH? They could totally do that. Maybe. Would be weird as shit though.

I'm a huge mgs fan, and have bought every mgs game I could find, but I think I'll wait for these on the PSVita. Unless these come with digital versions for the Vita as well then I'll jump, but somehow I doubt it.

oh my god im already saving money to buy the Collector's Edition guide of Deus EX HR and the graphic novel and novel but they announced this????

damn we'll buy this Day Freaking 1 for sure!!!!!!

already ordered KOFXIII CE, Dark Souls CE and now this :P

i read that substance/subsistence version won't be having any boss duel mode watsoever and that the 360 is to blame for this. i also think the inclusion of Snake vs Monkey might also have something to do with this. and im not even sure now if they'll include the secret theater(with Snake vs Eraser or Rock Paper Scissors against The Boss)

look i think it's fair that all system needs to experience all of MGS givings. that includes the boss modes and other goodies. i think what they should do is add the extra things(boss duel mode, secret theater) on a 3rd disc in the 360 release. i mean there's no problem for the PS3 adding these stuff on 1 disc due to size of the disc, but it's a shame if they're gonna remove it just because the other version can't afford to put it in.

i know it's probably gonna cost konami for adding an extra 3rd disc but this is MGS people. you definitely need to give your 110% to it

as for the Snake vs Monkey, im okay with it being removed BUT they should have left it in the PS3 version.

all i want is to experience the MGS saga in the Complete way.

hame the US version won't include all these free goodies like the mug, headset, ost, and figurines :(

Metal Gear Solid is my favorite franchise ever. along with Deus Ex, The King of Fighters Series :P

I love that the acronym is MGSHDC LE. It's almost as bad as some of the Street Fighter games.
