Hi guys, I've been a fan of MGS since metal gear solid came out on the playstation one. I didn't get to play any of the other ones as I didn't have a ps2 or ps3 but I do have a ps3 now and I am very keen on getting the HD collection.

The question I'd like to know is, which games are in the series that is compatible with ps3 but not included in the HD collection? Because I wan't to play them all :)
 
Thanks.

BTW if anyone's interested in the game. Kalahari is so far the cheapest I've found it on for R329

That's tempting. It doesn't include the first MGS though. From what I hear I'll be missing out on a lot.

My advice: read the story for the first game on the wikia or wikipedia and then play the rest :D

MGS was one of the best games I ever played, and one of the very few that stands out for me from my early years. Excellent story (though it confused the heck out of me), good dose of action with a lot of sneaking on the side :)

EDIT: you can always 'get' the first game and then play it on an emulator ;)

Also have a look at the MGS 1 graphic novel. Tells the story of part 1 very nicely
 
If I remember correctly, you can still get MGS on the PSN network for something like R90. It's worth it if you are a hardcore MGS fan :)
 
It sucks that they left out the original and, arguably, the best MGS :( I was really looking forward to playing it on my X360.

Haha. Get a PS3. I really have no idea why people buy 360s. The PS3 has so many awesome exclusives.

Awesome I didn't even think of looking there. May be something to calm me down until the hd collection arrives :D

I wonder how you'll have to fight preying mantis, since you had to plug the controller into the 'second controller port' on the original psx

Don't want to spoil anything wrt MGS4, but your question will be answered there ;)
 
I couldn't wait so I bought MGS2:Substance and MGS3 on the ps2 from BT Games.

He was asking about the first MGS.

I know the 360 has forza and gears and halo and fable.

PS3 has uncharted, infamous, God of War, heavy rain, last guardian, journey, ratchet and clank, twisted metal, little big planet, MGS4, killzone, resistance and I'm sure there are others I've out.

PS3 has way more.

Here's the difference between multiplatform games and exclusives.

Multiplats are made to make money.

Exclusives are made to sell consoles. You're almost guaranteed a good game if it's a genre that interests you.

Guys please buy Rayman:Origins so we can get a sequel.

I think you can do that changing controller trick by assigning them in the PS3 menu while playing the game! I don't think they would want to remove that novelty ;)
