Those games are said to use the “Transfarring” system, meaning players can enjoy playing high-def versions of PlayStation 2 iterations of Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders on their PS3, then pick up the game on their Vita.
Kojima Productions will bring those HD collections to Vita sometime in 2012.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 4:42 PMGeez… they’re not really putting a foot wrong with the PSV so far. This has got to be the smoothest product announcement/launch Sony have had in a long, long time.
Oh well, I guess they’ve still got about 3 months left to find a way to royally screw it up :P

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 4:48 PMThank god you didn’t watch the press release then. While I was happy with the title announcements (100 titles released by the time the PSV is sold here apparently, and 28 launch titles in Japan), the conference was horrible. Boring, awkward and lack of trailers. Thankfully there is going to be a keynote tomorrow I think but it was still pretty disheartening especially after the Nintendo conference.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:09 PMSo does that mean you have to buy it twice? One for the PS3, another for PS Vita?

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 8:39 PMI think it means, if you buy one and you have both consoles, you get the other.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 9:23 PMI hope the whole (MGS) games are reworked using the original raw graphics (which were probably downgraded to save space) rather than just upscaling what was left in the final PS2 game.

Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 12:54 AMJesus, I hate how they’re milking MGS. I mean it’s great that people get to play it, but there’s been what, 3 different forms of the SAME collection for the last 4 or so years ever since MGS4. It’s freakin crazy. And I thought Call of Duty and Nintendo re-releases were bad. Surely this is all Konami’s doing, since they have like, nothing else to release.

Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 3:14 AMAlso, yeah, this was announced when the collection was announced. This is not news. The whole point of transfarring was Vita support you twats.
