It's a very good day to be a Konami fan. Today as part of its pre-E3 conference, Konami announced the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and the Zone of the Enders HD Collection.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will contain Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The Zone of the Enders HD Collection will pack Zone of Enders and Zone of the Enders 2. Both collections have been optimized and rebuilt for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with new user interfaces for the HD resolutions, redrawn art, brand new Trophies/Achievements, right analog stick and rumble support, and improved audio.

Metal Gear overlord Hideo Kojima pointed out that while Peace Walker is part of the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, it is not part of the PSP Remaster series.

Another feature both collections support is Kojima's new "lifestyle" called "Transfarring." That is not a typo -- Transfarring. Using this system, PlayStation players can have one save that works with PS3 and PSP copies of certain games. Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as the first (and so far only) Transfarring capable title. Start your Peace Walker game on the PS3, copy the save to the PSP, play on the go, and then copy it back to the PS3 to pick up where you left off.

No word was given as to what would happen if you earned a Trophy while using the PSP (a system which doesn't support Trophies). Also, the Zone of the Enders HD Collection is said to support Transfarring, but no PSP versions of these games were announced. Kojima said that he was looking to bring Tranfarring to the NGP, so perhaps that is where we'll see the ZOE plan come together.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be available this November, while the Zone of the Enders HD Collection will be coming in 2012.

Unhappy that there isn't a MGS 1 remake but this will do for now! :D
 
**** YEAH!

Would MGS 1 really work as an HD remake anyway? Would have taken a lot of work.

Will nab this and get the PS One version of the original from the Store.
 
MGS 2, 3 and Peace Walker remastered in HD. THERE IS A GOD! :D

EDIT: Didn't read the OP, I just jizzed at the words MGS, HD and collection and then quickly posted. :p

I think MGS 1 would take a lot todo it as a full 360/PS3 HD remake, but they could have still included it, and just made it to PS2 standereds

I can understand why the first MGS is not included since as said before, it would involve a lot of work and with the GameCube Twin Snakes remake, possible licensing issues with Silicon Knights.

Shame really, but having 2 and 3 on the same package is more than enough. I also wonder if they will be the Substance and Subsistence versions respectively, but just under the original naming.
 
So it wasnt - not the most useful link in the world considering the discussion, some would say pointless :p;)

Probably not having access/licensing to the Gamecube version of the assets could be an issue no?

All good news - but makes you wonder what they are keeping back for E3 - quite a massive announcement not to be made...

This would be the cherry on the cake - eBay pricing for them is silly last time I looked...
