Konami’s pre-recorded show went live this morning and it seems to be a case of building on solid franchises. As part of this, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, confirmed for PlayStation 3 earlier this year, has been announced for the Xbox 360 too.
Interestingly, the collection will include Metal Gear Solid 2, MGS 3 and Peace Walker, the excellent PSP title which has been ported up and given a graphical overhaul. As an added bonus for PlayStation owners, the PSP and PS3 save games for Peace Walker will be transferable. So, users can play to a point on their PSP and then hook it up to the PS3, transfer it and continue playing in HD. Lovely.
This will be the first time the classics have been available on Microsoft’s machine and it marks a widening of the multi-platform nature Konami indicated for the series with the unveiling of Rising last year and the announcement of Snake Eater for the Nintendo 3DS.
So, Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox 360. Who thought they’d never see the day? And how long before Metal Gear Solid 4 creeps over?
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is due for release on PS3 and 360 this November.

This is why Sony are losing to Xbox, maybe if Sony paid to have great games and exclusives like it did on PS2 maybe it wouldn’t be behind the 360 :/
I do not want MGS4 to go to the 360, even though I have a 360, It should remain a PS3 exclusive.

I don’t really get that one, Sony have had a tonne of exclusives over the last year or two with Microsoft virtually not having any. Although they still have their E3 hand to show, so do Sony.

Sony have had loads of great exclusives this year with more to come plus MGS 2 was on the original xbox anyways.

It’s good and all but I wanted MGS to be on there too! =[
Oh well, the other three will hopefully have trophies so will mean me going through them again (not that I’m complaining) =]
BrainDiver
YES! Trophies, here we come :)
Also, if it means we get trophies then I would gladly see MGS4 come to the xbox.

The holy grail! Christmas = sorted. Thanks Kojima!
Can I be a knob and have one gripe? Why not put MGS1 and the old Metal Gear games on the disc? That would have been a gigabyte and a half well spent.

Lovely.

Whoop, excellent news!

Wrong way round. 360 involvement has messed this up. Should be 1,2,3 on hd collection with peace walker being separate title. Gutted.
Deathbrin
You can buy MGS1 off PSN and have the complete collection. What’s not to love?
Foxhound_Solid
Ita probably my off lol. I have every mgs game ever made. Even ghost babel. Wanted mgs one upscaled for ps3 as oppose to just gamecube.
Deathbrin
One thing to clarify though – since we know MGSPW isn’t getting us any trophies as PSP Remaster title which has transfer-able saves, i assume the 360 version will still have achievements (as it’s a _truly_ mandatory thing over there), is that right?

“This will be the first time the classics have been available on Microsoft’s machine”
Oh yes, Cb needs a slap right there, should’ve specified that it’s their first time on the 360 not Xbox altogether.

Might this mean 3D SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!?
