Metal Gear Solid HD collection will run at 60FPS

by Richard Mitchell on Jul 29th 2011 12:30PM

There's nothing quite like a butter-smooth frame rate, is there? Fans should be happy to learn that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will indeed run at a slick 60 frames per second.

After sharing images of the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker remake, Hideo Kojima tweeted, "60 frames per second in HD... it's the best! Say peace!" Kojima Productions' Jiroo Tsubuyaki also confirmed the frame rate in a different tweet.

As Andriasang notes, Peace Walker marks the final game in the collection to benefit from a doubled frame rate. Kojima already confirmed the same for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater -- and Metal Gear Solid 2, it turns out, always ran at sixty frames per second, even on the PlayStation 2.

We suppose that explains Raiden's ... uh ... smoothness.

now what will the price run me?

@Protege420
$50. Amazon.com

@Protege420 799 us dollar.

MGS4 would run 60 FPS on Wii U. It would look better too.

And THAT my friends is true next gen.

@Co

Except that in 1080p it'll actually look the same and we won't have to wait 2 years to play it on a dumb controller.

And if you think the WiiU is a true nex gen system I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you

@Co Since when did Nintendo fans care about graphics? All I've ever heard from y'all this generation is that graphics aren't what mattered, it's how fun the game is. Are you guys suddenly going to 180 on that and say that graphics and framerate will determine which console is cock-of-the-walk? You guys are starting to suspiciously sound like the PC crowd.

@OnToGloryReturns

wait. a bridge in brooklyn would make sense wouldn't it?

@Theneverendingsoda

So you got them all for free when they were originally released?

@eat it - He...he means he'd sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. You know, the one owned by New York?

The one he has no right to....

Never mind.

oh and please dont link to japanese tweets they are in japanese and it hurts my eyes...... \rant

@Protege420 uhhhh I thought everyone used Chrome....it translates on request....

strange

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi
hmmm i did not know this good pro tip thank you.

i pull my rant from submision and head a minute to the fine gentleman above

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

Silly comment.

@Protege420

or you could just learn Japanese

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

nope, i still prefer Firefox.

I'm more interested in how the textures look in Peace Walker. That's going to likely be the one with the most changes.

@Faceless Troll
Look up

@Tihn Unless that's a gameplay image (as opposed to CGI) it's not very helpful to me.

@Faceless Troll

Ummmmm Kojima doesn't use CG in the MGS games.

@Faceless Troll
There is no CGI in Peace Walker.

@CLOUD9

your comment made me laugh.

@broken 4th wall
I'm confused, what's so funny about it? I like that they use in-game animation for cutscenes.

Also, CLOUD9 is correct -- and it's true for the most part. The only game that even had any CG animation(by traditional standard), was METAL GEAR SOLID INTEGRAL/VR MISSIONS; and that was just added trailer videos from TGS, not used in the gameplay modes.

Does anyone know if you'll be able to buy these on their own? *puts on flame suit* I'm not a huge MGS fan but I loved Snake Eater and would just like to play that one in HD with trophies.

@PSBuckshot
I thought I remember reading that there would be both a disc release and digital release over XBLA and PSN. If so they might sell them individually in the digital format

I know this is unlikely, but it would be awesome if MGS3 is magically released with a MGS4 control scheme.

@kentuckyfried lol I wish Im just glad the copy of MGS3 I had had the revised camera setting so it wasnt like MGS1, that wouldve made things difficult

@kentuckyfried agreed

@kentuckyfried
I am soooo keeping my fingers crossed about that, but like you said it is probably unlikely :(

@kentuckyfried

I had trouble with the "analog face button" feature of the PS2 MGS games. I accidentally fired my weapon too many times.

wait.. theres an MGS HD collection now =\

@PR0F3TA Welcome to several months ago.

@PR0F3TA
Why the = \ face? It should be more like :D

@PR0F3TA
i guess you didn't see the konami pre e3 show, in that case here's the mega 64 part with the mgs/z.o.e announcements

hell yes very good new

Can't wait to see the cardboard box in HD!

@SEGA Scream We've all thought of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7zY8hlNpQ0

If you like mgs3 than you'll like peace walker too, once it has better controls than it did on psp

I played through the entire MGS series in the weeks before MGS4 was released, and now it looks like I'm going to have to play through them again! This is not a bad thing.

SMOOOOOOOOTH! GIDGIGY GIGATAY http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FBS7j6lOsTc/SbnWcfOIg4I/AAAAAAAADME/DBp1PIO-lzk/s400/quagmire.jpg

I choose not too support this. I'll stick with my PS2 versions.

@HardBoiled2009

You're a trooper if you stick with the PSP MGS games. Those controls...

This pleases me.

/cue Jabba laugh

I'd like to see a remake of Metal Gear 1/2. Imagine those games running in the MGS4 engine, see Snake fighting Big Boss. : )

Rising?....

._. Please?

As one of the very few people who has never spent much time with these games I might have to check them out and see what I've been missing.

Take notes Square-Enix.

@ShadowXIII

Every gaming company that has had a popular game last generation should take notes

I still think it's a shame MGS1 isn't included here. They don't even have to HDify it, just give it to us with trophies...

@liquidsoap89

Me too. How can you call it the Metal Gear Solid collections without including Metal Gear Solid?

@liquidsoap89

They could easily though....just the thing with Silicon Knights making a remake just complicates it right back up though...
