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.

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?

Well… it might not be a problem. I dunno – I never downloaded a PSOne game in me life.

I don’t reckon it’d be an issue, really. I’d like to play this again, definitely.

Aren’t they releasing the stupidly-cheap MGS collection pack soon, with all three games?

In the US, yep. Still no confirmation of it happening in Europe.

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?

Google. They’ve done some properly beautiful pieces over the years. I’ve got an Art of Metal Gear book somewhere.

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.

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