Metal Gear Solid PSone headed for PSN

...in Japan. Cross your fingers for a Euro release
As the PSOne games on PSN drought continues on this side of the planet, Japan's Famitsu magazine has revealed that the original Metal Gear Solid will be hitting the PSN in spring for play on PS3 and PSP.

MGS was, in case you lived in the Himalayas at the time, one of the best games on the PSone - a platform-defining title upon which the whole modern MGS craze was built. Its arrival on the PSN would be sweet as f***.

But there is, unsurprisingly, no mention of the game coming to the UK PSN Store. We're badgering Sony UK as we type...

Had this on my PSP since Sony released their PS emulator, superb game to play for a few minutes at a time while on the bus or whatnot.

how long can you hold it for?

I was clearing through my old games yesterday (cos I'm moving house this week) and oddly enough I had 2 full boxed copies of MGS. I say it is odd because I was never a big fan of the game. Suffice to say they went in the "throw away" pile.

even that i am a MGS fan, im not bothered if it ever come to the UK Store, or will be downloading it as i have 2 original copies, 1 normal and 1 platium, i got the second one (the standard version) pre-owned and because my old original PS2 started to stop working and scratched my original MGS to hell, now it only play the 1st cut scene and then freezes, so i got a replacement, and hopefully i can get my platium edition fixed

This throw away pile.... Wink

i'd rather throw gc twin snakes on thanks.
ste hicky on 18 Mar '08
why are people bothered any way??

i already have the great game.

also if you dont have it, go get it from a game shop, i saw it for a couple of quid a few months back.

the rip of sony store will charge us 5 quid to down load it - its quite frankly a joke now.

I'm hoping it's on the UK PSN before MGS4 is out, never had a chance to play it and very much looking forward to

How did people miss this game? It probably my favourite game ever, and definatly my favourite in the MGS series. I'd reccomend it to anyone, even if you hate the stealth genre, it changed my gaming perspective and not much has come close to it.
NG_21 on 18 Mar '08
can't wait, will have to unless Sony get there butts in line
AmhrannabhFiann on 18 Mar '08
The one bastad game i might actually buy off the Psn is on the japanese store, i would buy it off the Jap store but it may aswell as be in hiroaglephics (sorry about spelling) for all it matters.

you dont need to PSN version, just use your disk version, it works, just tried it myself, just put your PS3 in remote play, put your MGS disk in, connect your psp as normal, and there you go, it started the game automatically instead showing the XMB. although with this you wont be able to transfer the game to your psp's memory stick and play the game away from home unlike PSN versions Confused
Bravo2Zero1989 on 18 Mar '08
wow i wanted to know if it works with ps1 games!!

thanks

My only question is: how will people who purchase it on the PSN be able to find out Meryl's CODEC frequency?*

*If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you haven't played through Metal Gear Solid.

FFS, they might as well just release 'ping pong' whilst they're at it. PS3 for PS3 games, move with the times!
sandmania on 19 Mar '08
I would have preferred Tomb Raider or silent hill or resident evil....or V rally.

& the changing ports on Mantis? "i couldnt read your mind!!"....

Yer i still keep my gamecube for twin snakes, in my opinon its probably the best metal gear game there is!, now if that was coming to the PSN it would be a diffrent thing..... & a better news story.... i'll let this one go, unless its about 3 quid.

Oh yeah! lol! As far as I know, you can't change the controller position on the PS3's wireless SIXAXIS. So you would actually be forced to buy a second controller in order to beat Pyscho Mantis.
