Forgot to add that it'll also include the recent ports of MG 1 and 2 for the MSX. Cool

That's right and Kojima confirmed this himself. Very Happy

Hideo Kojima, comfortable in his natural habitat (Twitter) provided details of two regional versions of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. In Japan, the collection does not include Peace Walker, but does have a download code for the first Metal Gear Solid. The "overseas version" (meaning the one we get) doesn't include the download, but incorporates the HD version of Peace Walker.

In both regional variants, the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 3 is based on the "Subsistence" re-release, which means it has optional, user-controllable camera angles. That version also comes with the emulated MSX versions of Metal Gear 1 and 2, adding two more games to the collection!

Kojima also said that the Metal Gear Solid 2 HD release would be based on "subsistence," by which he must have meant "Substance." He wasn't clear on whether the basis was the PS2 or Xbox version -- a distinction that seems minor until you learn that the PS2 version had a skateboarding minigame that we need in HD. Finally, Kojima tweeted an image of the trophy icons for MGS2 and 3, which you can see after the break.

For a while I wasn't sure if MG1 & MG2 that were included in the Substitence version of Snake Eater will be in this HD collection. But after hearing that they are, I'm more than excited to get this collection.

It's cool that the XBox 360 users will be able to play this game as well as the PS3 users. Which is rare to see a Metal Gear related release be availble on XBox 360 when Metal Gear Solid 2 was the only previous title made availble for original XBox. Only saying that those who never played Metal Gear Solid Original or Twin Snakes for Gamecube, would feel lost everytime the game mentions characters & events from MGS1.

I really hope that they are reasonable with the trophies for these games. Some of the VR missions in Substance weren't that fun, and it'd be rather tedious if they tied a bunch of trophies to building up weapon skills in Peace Walker. I'm going to get the platinum trophies for these games anyway, so I'd just like it to not feel like a chore if at all possible.
