According to various reports, Famitsu has confirmed a PSP and PS3 release of the original Metal Gear Solid, via PSN, this spring. A Konami Europe spokesperson has just issued a flat “no comment” on whether or not we’re going to see this over here.
I’ve got like… five I’ve just not seen that particular one before. It’s not by the official geezer, and it’s not by Ashley Wood who did the comics either. Interesting… I’ll look it up.

I played PSOne MGS for the first time just last year. It still looks pretty good, even now.
I wonder how they get around the whole ‘2 discs’ thing when it’s a downloady title?

Have to wait for the translations, I guess. Konami wouldn’t say anything then.
Syrok said:
Why would the ‘2 discs thing’ be a problem? I suppose they can just release it as one game.
PS: SCEEs comment to release in Europe: What are you talking about? What’s Europe? And what the hell is the PSN?
Blerk said:
Well… it might not be a problem. I dunno – I never downloaded a PSOne game in me life.
patlike said:
I don’t reckon it’d be an issue, really. I’d like to play this again, definitely.
Zumi said:
Aren’t they releasing the stupidly-cheap MGS collection pack soon, with all three games?
patlike said:
In the US, yep. Still no confirmation of it happening in Europe.
Zumi said:
There we go then. I knew buying a US PS3 would pay off! It’s only £18 on VG+!

Nice artwork; where’d you get that from?
patlike said:
Google. They’ve done some properly beautiful pieces over the years. I’ve got an Art of Metal Gear book somewhere.

Then I’m teaching grandma to suck eggs. And that’s a revolting thought
