Metal Gear, Zone Of The Enders Return With HD Collections

Konami announced today that two of its most popular franchises, Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders, will be getting HD compilation re-releases on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The Metal Gear pack, due in November, will include Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. These games will now feature HD graphics, new art, remastered audio and achievements.

The Zone of the Enders collection, meanwhile, includes Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders 2 (and will boast the same improved/added features as the MGS pack). It’ll be out in 2012.

Both packs will also boast a similar feature to the recently-unveiled PSP Remaster series, which Konami is calling “Transfarring”. This will allow users to, when playing a game like Peace Walker that will be available on both handheld and console, transfer their saves between the two.

The company also unveiled plans for a Silent Hill HD collection. More on that to come.

    I cant wait to replay MGS2 in HD.
    One of my all time fav games.
    There was something about snake eater though…
    It didn’t pick my interest as much as the first 2.

      Serious?

      Snake Eater shits all over MGS2 in gameplay, story, music and emotion. You liked Raiden over Naked Snake??

      I don’t remember much of MGS2 yet a lot of Snake Eater has stuck in my mind.

    I hear it’s amazing when the Purple-stuffed worm in Flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw-blink on Hari-kiri Rock! I need scissors! 61!

    Interesting – why do both packs feature “transfarring” when the Zone of the Enders collection doesn’t feature any PSP compatible games?

      My guess is there will be a PS Vita version also… Hopefully it will be a combo pack that you transfer from the PS3 BluRay directly to the PSP via USB.

      It shall be glorious if the PS3/Vita connections work like this for most games.

      fingers crossed!

    Wait, wheres MGS 1, that needs a remake as well the game cube version is outdated. DAMN YOU KOJIMA! this is not a true HD collection if you don’t include the first metal gear solid game.

    Snooooore. More rereleases. I can’t wait until 2012 to play ZoE2 again! That’s much easier than setting up my PS2 and playing it RIGHT NOW.

    C’mon Kojima. ZoE3. Please.
