Or you can laugh more if you buy the HD collection when it's dead cheap, used. That's what I'll do, while I wait I'll play it on my PC at the highest settings too

..rrrather just do the friendship piracy

Fair enough. But I have warned you about piracy at least once before so this really shouldn't come as a shock.

See you in two weeks.

I'd rather just buy them, tbh. The PC versions, not the HD collection. New voices make me cry. And the lack of the original...bah.

So the latest Kojima Productions report acknowledges the aspect ratio controversy with the cutscenes in the game. They offer open comments and a reply selection to let the fans tell them what they want whether they support the "super widescreen" format or the intended 16:9 ratio. The sheer fact that fan input is being welcomed for a game they said is not too late to change has made me very happy to look forward to that set regardless which format they end up with. As said earlier I agree with the guy who wanted MGS1 in that set, but Peace Walker will do.

Outside of these I think there is going to be some changes in that set too, MGS2 mostly.

Have they made any mention of the opening video and the removed Arsenal Gear cutscene being altered? It's just that Kojima refuses to use the Metal Gear Solid music after the whole Georgy Sviridov debacle. And it's last proper apperance was the HGW version in that opening.

Additionally 10 years ago they cut the Arsenal Gear into New York scene due to 9/11 but then a few years later the model for the city was included in the Document of MGS2, meaning to me that they may consider including it. If they confirmed that that HD edition would move up to a must buy for me personally.

The only other edits I can think of might be to correct/remove Olga's child given sex because the translation headache it caused in regards to MGS4.

In any case an aspect ratio option and changes to the opening video are minor compared to the changes happening to SH2 (and maybe SH3).

The MGS theme is being replaced?

[Smiley]

Yes the MGS theme was plagiarized and because of that they excluded it from Portable Ops onward as far as the MGS games go, and even locked the music from the disc in Smash Bros. Brawl.

Having said that I do believe a deal was made at some point because when you go through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow there's a MGS reference that pops up with the theme.

[Rombie]

Interesting easter egg though, never had seen it. Mind you I never got around to playing that. The part of the song used in that easter egg is probably the one bit from the song least copied from the original but the point it got used is still a better sign that maybe MGS2 will go unchanged.

Kylie - If you haven't heard it before, then you'll be very surprised.

I've heard the music before, I just thought Konami didn't use it in newer games to be careful. It never occured to me they might remove it from the HD collection. MGS3 would never be the same.

[Rombie]

MGS3 only uses phrases of it, and it has it's own themes thankfully (a creative decision to seperate the theme from MGS as Solid Snake and the ones in MGS3 as Big Boss/The Boss) so I doubt that is as much of an issue because it's fairly well disguised. It wasn't even used in any of the trailers.

[Smiley]

That's not entirely true. There was one I recall that came out having the theme at the end. It was even included in one of MPO's teasers as well. The copyright issue was never aware until during the development of MPO. By that point it was never used again in any promotional material or the games themselves afterward.

We'll just have to wait and see, but for some reason I doubt they'll remove it from the HD versions. KP's latest report claimed that they were not remaking any aspect of the game but trying to preserve it. Which begs the question if preserving includes changing the aspect ratio of the cutscenes?
