Transfarring coming to US version MGS HD [update]

@FlashJS
It's farr from that

@FlashJS The phrase is as japanese as Kojima is, It's Transfer and Far as in the distance from home with a PSP. Whether it was a mistake or not is moot because it makes sense to the way the Japanese create new combo slang words.

@SolidSnakeEyes - It's there, but in super ulta small print:

"TRANSFARRING (save data sharing) compatible with PSP version*

*Japanese PS3 version only."

Why it says "PSP version" and not Vita is beyond me.

@SolidSnakeEyes

There's an asterisk after the transfarring entry.

@SolidSnakeEyes

they both have have an asterisk

@Acosta02 You're right. I still think they're intending to say that only Japanese Peacewalker HD comes with the PSP product code, but they could have been clearer about it.

@jbs1018 Fair enough, but you can't transfarr between the 360 and Vita either ;).

@Zal
The more important question should be: is the online play through Konami's annoying online system?

I would get it cause I know the game is great, all bugs (most bugs) have been resolved, I am getting HD version of the game, and it only cost me $19.99 for one game or $39.99 for 2 and sometimes 3 games.

Also if I could play some of those games on PS Vita that would be just great. I think nobody is loosing here, people have more choices and SONY has more games to offer.

The HD craze for these games are helped by the fact that higher resolution and smoother frame rates are nicer to look at. Now I agree in the sense that buying a game twice is frankly dumb but sometimes people find value in the upgrades (which by the way lighting wont be one, it's the same game, same engine just running on different hardware) which is great for the developers because they really dont have to spend a lot of money developing something to get people to repurchase the game other than make it look pretty on the new TVs. something that even upscaling backwards compatibility cant do. This unfortunately may have an effect on future BC but for now developers see this as a gret opportunity since the majority of the systems out there now CANT play the old games the way people would like them to.

@(Unverified) This is exactly how I feel

I mean, I'll get this because I've only played one of the games in it (not counting PW on the PSP *shudders* but I really am getting sick of these hd remakes

@(Unverified)

I love these HD remakes.

Why you might ask?
1. Easily obtainable. I don't have to sift through gamestop bins to try to find used copies of classic games and then dig through my closet to find the old system and hope it still works. You get the old games for cheaper, it's almost just like another print run for a book.
2. Obviously the HD. Many times I'm turned off by games in the PS1-PS2 days because of their bad quality 3D graphics. I can easily play SNES games because they aren't meant to be so "lifelike" but when a PS2 games tries to show high-end graphics of the time, I can't enjoy it as much because it clearly doesn't look real. Whereas on the PS3 and 360, graphics are nice to look at and smooth
3. Trophies / achievements. I like trying to get all of them.

My advice?
- If you already played the game in earlier day and don't have any intention of replaying it, then don't buy it!
- Even if a game sold 10 million copies 5-10 years ago, the majority of gamers today haven't played it (and much less beaten it). If you, like most people, missed the game and want it, go buy it.
- If you played the game already, and want to replay it with the added HD, then buy it.
If you want it get it, if you don't, then don't! It's as simple as that.

So for people like me who missed great collections like GoW 1 and 2, MGS, ICO, Splinter Cell, and other big collections coming out, please don't bash it and hate the developers. It really isn't costing them too much time either. This is essentially just another print run to get more people into the game. I would never have played GoW 1/2 or 3 if GoW collections wasn't released.

@Helghast102
It might be because they're actually making the HD collection for the Vita aswell. Why Transfar to the PSP version when you can Transfar to the Vita version...

On the other Hand I just had a thought: that this could be due to that Stipulation that MS is forcing on publishers where they have to have to have the SAME content on the disk as the PS3 before they can be released on the 360 in the US. I really think they may have forced this if it's true.
