A Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has been announced.

Hideo Kojima revealed the news during Konami's pre-E3 press conference earlier today.

The HD Collection includes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker recreated in HD for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The games have been completely recreated for HD, with new art assets, fonts, audio and a user interface designed for high resolution displays. The HD Collection will also include support for trophies and achievements on the PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively.

Kojima also revealed a new feature called "transfarring" that will be exclusive to the PS3 version. Transfarring allows for game progress to be moved between the PS3 and PSP versions of a game, and will be used in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker of the HD Collection.

Players can begin playing Peace Walker on a PS3, use transfarring to continue the same game's progress on the go with their PSP, then import the data back to the PS3.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will release in November 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The Silent Hill HD Collection has been announced by Konami.

The publisher also announced a Silent Hill title for NGP at its pre-E3 press conference.

Silent Hill HD Collection will include remastered versions of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3.

No release date or target consoles have yet been announced.

The NGP title is being called Silent Hill: Book of Memories. No further details were given other than that it will be exclusive to Sony's NGP.

A Zone of the Enders HD Collection will release next year.

The announcement was made during Konami's pre-E3 press conference.

The Zone of the Enders HD Collection will include both Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. The HD Collection will release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.

The games have been completely recreated for HD, with new art assets, fonts, audio and user interface designed for high resolution displays. The HD Collection will also include support for trophies and achievements on the PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively.

Konami also revealed a new feature, "transfarring," that will be exclusive to the PS3 version. Transfarring allows for game progress to be moved between the PS3 and PSP versions of a game. The PS3 version of Zone of the Enders HD Collection will feature transfarring, which suggests that PSP versions of both Zone of the Enders games could be in development.

Zone of the Enders HD Collection will be available in 2012 for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

A bit annoying that Silent Hill 1 & MGS 1 are not included especially as they are the best of their franchises. I will get the MGS one due to never playing MGS 3 nor Peace Walker but I won't bother with Silent Hill.

Sold!

I'd be up for MGS, I think. I really like what they've done with the Tomb Raider trilogy.

Is Peace Walker any good? I never played Snake Eater (which I understand is phenomenal) or Peace Walker. I might get it.

I don't understand the lack of MGS1, still a must buy.

I don't understand the lack of MGS1, still a must buy.

It makes even less sense when you consider that MGS1 was remade using the MGS2 engine. If they can give MGS2 the HD treatment, it should certainly be possible with MGS1.



That being said, I'm far more excited about the Zone of the Enders remakes.

Hopefully they find a wider audience this time around.

Hopefully it will be the Substance and Subsistence versions of the MGS games...

OMG! New fonts!!!

 

[Emher]

Can I just say: FUCK YEAH ZONE OF THE ENDERS IN HD!!!!!

This was the biggest news of E3 for me. Metal Gear Solid 3 is easily the best of the main series (though The Twin Snakes is over-the-top enough to come in a very close second). The opportunity to get an HD version with achievements would alone be worth another $60 of my money. A chance to play Peace Walker makes it even better, and I guess MGS2 suffices as a marginal bonus.

And while Silent Hill 1 is the best in that series, 2 and 3 are also reasonably solid (with Heather being my favorite series protagonist). While I haven't seen an official blurb on the release platforms for this collection, I have seen photos that clearly show both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
