PS1 game not a PS2 so a lot harder to redo for HD, and as far as I'm aware Nintendo hold all the rights for the twin snakes remake.

The original title of the classic franchise did not make it to the cut of the HD collection coming out later, and the producer explained that it was because game one is just too old.

"Obviously, we wanted to include it and make it a complete collection," he said. "However, as you know, Metal Gear Solid 1 was for the PSone. It has a very, very low polygon count."

He furthered, "While at the time the game was something new and refreshing, just bringing it as is into HD probably wouldn't have that much meaning to us. We're doing two and three with a certain work flow where the goal is to take that game, preserve it and introduce it to a new generation. We can't really take that approach with Metal Gear Solid 1 because it's very dated at this point."

The limitations may be keeping them from fully embarking on an HD-fication of MGS1 right now, but he reassures that they would want to get it done at some point in time.

he went on to say they would want to redo the entire game rather than upping the graphics to HD

I'll have to pop into my local JB to pre-order this.

I do know when it came out in Japan, for PS3 owners you got a code to download MGS1 from the PSN store, XB360 owners got some avatar items.

Yeah, but the PS3 can emulate PS1 games. There's no real reason he couldn't simply include the first game exactly as it was.

i cant recall - it is for the LE me thinks , its still only like 5- $10 ether that or a pawn shop might be the go

P.S you dont want to downloadi t from the AU store unless you like your apsect ratios squashed - the US store DL is fine
