after all the leaks from within microsoft lately, this wasn't even announced. time to go dig up panzer's dragoon.

highps36884d ago

Cool they have upscaling for older games.. Believe Sony already has that or will have that.

But clearly they are just releasing something due to Sonys consistent updates..

IMO atleast.

I think HighPS3 is a closet Xbox 360 fan, this guy always tries to talk sh!t about Xbox 360 in 360 forums. Get the fuk out dude stop trying to rain on the good news parade for the Xbox 360.

What the?! I haven't said a single offensive thing in the past month and my bubbles went from 6 to 5... what gives? I really wish I could tell who "voted" to take it away, and why.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
