Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection Releases June 2013 For PS3. Includes MSX Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2 HD, MGS3 HD, MGS4: Trophy Edition, Peace Walker HD, PS1 VR Missions And Ashley Wood MGS Novels

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection has been announced exclusively for PlayStation 3 including all core Metal Gear Solid titles.

This set includes everything a Metal Gear fan could ever want, including the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 released for the MSX, where the whole story started (later part 1 was released for the NES in America. Part 2 never left Japan shores). Also included are the four core MGS games including Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Also included is the PSP Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the PS1 Metal Gear Solid VR Missions, along with a number of Ashley Woods Metal Gear Solid graphical novels.

To get more specific, the versions included will be the original PS1 Metal Gear Solid (no Trophy support apparently…), Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition (which includes the unlockable Metal Gear 1 & 2), Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophies Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, and the PS1 Metal Gear VR Missions.

“We wanted to give Metal Gear Solid fans the opportunity to experience the series from beginning to end, all on one console,” said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment. “With the collection’s multiple titles, players can truly see how MGS evolved into the critically acclaimed and beloved franchise it is today.”

The Metal Gear Solid series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan’s master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. With more than 33 million units sold to date, the Metal Gear series has become a global phenomenon. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo stealth missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series’ popularity—the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.

Along with the gameplay, the Metal Gear Solid series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made Metal Gear Solid what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.

I am really, really looking forward to this. Can’t wait to replay the original Metal Gear Solid (which I’ll be doing a Let’s Play for next) and finally see what all the fuss was about with Metal Gear Solid 2, MGS3 and MGS4, none of which I ever played! JUNE CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH!

 

WatchMePlay Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS Let’s Play Part 9 – Dying Is No Fun

WatchMePlay Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS Let’s Play Part 9.

In part 9 we are still attempting to beat the “Sickle to Sword – Paralogue 1” chapter where, if you can successfully win, you’ll add Donnel to your team. However this chapter proves to once again be a pain in the ASS and I die multiple times. This is where it really sinks in how frustrating Fire Emblem: Awakening really is. It’s an extremely tough game. After Virion’s death Donnel also dies, then Virion dies again (prompting me to say, “I’m getting really frustrated at this game and about to stop playing”)… Just as I’m getting close to finally beating the map, Donnel dies ONCE MORE, to cap off this haunting video of death and destruction. If you want to know why Fire Emblem is not for the faint of heart, you’ll see exactly why here! ENJOY!

WatchMePlay Final Fantasy VIII (FFVIII Let’s Play) Part 1 – Irvine Post-Galbadia Garden Recruitment

WatchMePlay FFVIII PS1 Let’s Play Part 1 for Final Fantasy 8 (FF8).

From my youtube: I thought I’d go ahead and record some gameplay of me playing Final Fantasy VIII, and maybe start a Let’s Play from this point on even though I am starting a bit into the game. I just got Irvine at Galbadia Garden. Already I am over 50 hours into the game…. simply because I’ve spent so much time on the Card Game and so much time leveling.

Enjoy!

WatchMePlay FFVIII PS1 Let’s Play Part 0 for Final Fantasy 8 (FF8).

Welcome to the initial installment of my FF8 Let’s Play! Need the text for the full tutorial and Squall’s PC in Final Fantasy VIII? Here it is as I go screen-by-screen. We also listen to the amazing opening credit music and watch the awesome CG intro, and play up to the point where we reach Ifrit in the Fire Cavern. I also use Scan Magic on both Quistis and Squall to read what it says about both main characters.

After this initial installment, we will magically hop to the point wherein we get Irvine, which is where I initially started recording this LP. However I plan on going back and filling in those previous sections, which I will link to when they are up. They won’t be numbered however, as the Let’s Play where I get Irvine is “Part 1”.
