Ooh! Metal Gear Solid HD on the PS Vita photo

Hideo Kojima is showing off something we can't have again. Between tweets about how he's eating pasta (seriously, the dude always eats pasta!) we found this picture of a PS Vita running what looks to be the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. This would be the menu screen to pick either MGS2 or MGS3

The accompanying tweet says that this picture was taken during a recording session for the PS Vita version of the collection. It's nice to hear that they're progressing on this title. Gimme.

Why does this exist? I can just use Remote Play and stream the PS3 Collection into my Vita, right?

@Gaidenrider Just want to add that I'll still be buying it! I just would like to hear the reasoning behind buying it instead of streaming it. Maybe for those who don't have a 3G Vita?

@Gaidenrider - Because transfarring and Remote Play aren't practical options for everyone. Just because you own a Vita doesn't mean you own a PS3 or want to.

Also because money.

What would be cool is if they add MGS 1 so we can have the full collection,I really like the first game since I haven't played it ...played the whole franchise backward from mgs 3-->2-->4-->1(I hope)---> rising (haven't played it obviously)

This could be the "Transfarring" thing Kojima talked about before and if it is, great.

@ The Silent Protagonist - Aye, this looks fantastic. I've never owned a MGS game on the ps2, and because i dont have a ps3 = no HD collection. This is a serious plus for me to buy a Vita.

I was considering getting the Remaster after hearing Jim/Max and Holmes talk about it on Podtoid but I feel like I'd rather wait to play it on Vita. No idea why other than I just want tons of things to play on it.

...the Vita's screen isn't HD though.

This is great and I will probably get it... But why whould they call it HD Collection when the Vita resolution isn't HD? It's 960x544!

And don't bring me the "It's HD because it's a small-screen" because then we might as well argue that watching movies on a big-screen makes them not-HD.

@Kanten It's a higher definition than the original releases of those games, so technically it is, I guess.

Either way MGS3 at 60 fps, looking better than on the PS2? yes please.

Francesca, your classmate's aunt? I dont know, that doesn't seem like a solid connection. Would it be possible to get in touch directly with your classmate's aunt? And could you be a little more specific regarding the type of work? Thanks.

@ The Silent Protagonist- Yeah, another problem right there: I dont have a 360.

In Japan, Peace Walker was re-sold on it's own. Not part of the collection. I'm sure it'll have all three everywhere else like the HD collection did.

Question: Will I be able to purchase this, and other HD collections once on the PSN and then play on both my PS3 and Vita...? Or are these "Vita" specific releases of the HD collections meaning I'll have to choose one or the other?

I already have the PS3 version. If they can get the HD version but I may get it just to have an HD Trophy enabled version of Peace Walker.

@Agathos: Transfarring means that if you have both the PS3 and the Vita edition (that is, you bought both), you can share a single save file. but no, buying one won't mean you get the other one for free.

Also, I am sorry TheSilentProtagonist. I had forgotten that the PS3 even existed, I just took it for granted that anyone buying a PS Vita had a PS3 with an HD Collection, dunno why

I'd feel dumb buying these games... again... It's only been 3 months.

@Gaidenrider

While I'll be getting a Vita day 2 (IE the real release date, not that dirty, unnecessary in every way, early release), I don't have ,and have no plans to get, a PS3. Sony missed me on that this generation of consoles for many reasons, and with the next on the horizon somewhere, I see no point in wasting the money now.

So I welcome this collection on the Vita, even if I'm wanting to also get it for my 360 and -rather stupidly- want to get Snake Eater 3D.

Also, and I might be totally wrong because I don't know how it works exactly, but the Remote Play is only really useful playing it at home, while I believe you still need a portable copy of the game to do the Transfarring. As far as I remember its not going to be just "get one version and it works for all".. Sony wouldn't give us the opportunity to cheat them like that.

Yeah, I am truly sorry, I had honestly forgotten that in order to stream games to a Vita you need a PS3. I had taken it for granted, truly sorry about that.

On another note, Remote Play works as long as you have internet. Leave your PS3 on at home, with the game on it, and say go to starbucks, connect to a wifi connection and start playing. Supposed to be as easy as that!

And finally, I am curious about your "Rather stupid" comment about wanting Snake Eater 3D. Why? Is it for the same reasons as me? (Peace Walker gameplay and maybe dumbed down difficulty?)

All VITA games must seem tempting for those who have gone without gaming these past few gens.

I am most def in that boat and many other I know are equally unfamiliar with those game.

Ps I am getting more sympathetic to those who might not get Vita @ launch bc finding that cash could be hard...but if you are just arguing and later get a $600 tab than stop fooling yourself and talking smack, homie!

Already got the HD collection on my 360, but I'm loving them so much I may just have to get it on the Vita too to play on the go.

I'm already planning on getting Snake Eater 3D for the 3DS anyway. Doesn't matter how many times they re-release these games, I'm still gonna play the hell out of em.

To anyone who have MGSHDC on the Xbox 360, you're doing it wrong... MGS2 and 3 were on the original Xbox, but it's still wrong, and you are a horrible person if you do...

/don't take that seriously, mang.

@Oishidesu: No, Metal Gear Solid 3 wasn't on the original Xbox. MGS2 was, but it played like shit. It's the only time I've ever hated playing an MGS game

You can never have too many copies of MGS3.
