Metal Gear Solid Confirmed as a PS2 Port

Matthew Butrovich writes, "...Konami's PR stud Andrew Kelly, who today confirmed for that Metal Gear Solid 1 will in fact be released on a Playstation 2 disc. No disc swapping. No more gray memory card. Other than those two improvements the port should be entirely transparent to the player, retaining the PS1's visuals and gameplay mechanics."

Buy a PS3 to enjoy the full quality

strwrsxprt6651d ago

I was curious as to how they were going to handle saving with the original playstation game.

I certainly don't have any of my old playstation memory cards anymore but this is great news and I'll be picking up this collection for sure

"retaining the PS1's visuals"

Why would they do that, when the Gamecube version is far better looking then the PS1.

Skerj6651d ago

I was just going to say that. But it's more than likely due to time and resources.

strwrsxprt6651d ago

Well some people might want to play the original exactly as it was

Keowrath6651d ago

I'd like to play the original how it was. Voices, story and cutscenes (I didn't mind the whole matrix-esque twin snakes but I felt the original was better in the long run)

But the graphics by todays standards are severely lacking. MGS with MGS3 graphics would be awesome. Better yet ramp it up to MGS4 standards and I'd be in heaven but keep the original voices, emotion and cutscenes.

GodsHand6651d ago

If you want to play the original, then buy the original. I don't know about you but playing pixelated games on an HDTV, is not exactly fun.

RecSpec6651d ago

Twin Snakes substituted substance for style. The graphics were better but the cutscenes were cheesy as hell. Especially after boss fights. I'm thinking of the tank and Sniper Wolf in particular.

Well if that wouldnt make you wanna step up from your PS2 to PS3 i dont know what would.

DrPirate6651d ago

And they just sold me the Essential Collection.

Damn you Kojima for making me own your games three times.

strwrsxprt6651d ago

The article is talking about the Essential Collection

DrPirate6651d ago

Yeah I know, but I wasn't planning to buy it.

Until now.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12522d ago (Edited 22d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
