The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection could be coming to the PlayStation 4, assuming a listing on Texas-based developer Armature’s website is accurate. While the compilation – which features Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker – was originally handled by Bluepoint for the PlayStation 3, the ReCore developer worked on the PS Vita version.
And on its portfolio page, it’s currently listing the title for PS4 in addition to PS Vita, suggesting it may have been recruited to convert the remasters to Sony’s new-gen system, too. It’d certainly make sense: the port would probably be a low-cost effort, but it’s not hard to imagine there being a market for old-school MGS on the uber-popular console. Of course, it could also be a mere clerical error.
We’ll try to contact Konami and Armature and see if we can get some kind of confirmation. In the meantime, do let us know if you’d be willing to quadruple dip on these titles in the comments section below.
Update: Armature says that the PS4 listing on its website was merely an error and that it isn't working on a PS4 version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

Id buy it
Only played phantom pain.
F KONAMI! But I would buy MGS collection again for sure
In this day and age, if you have to ask, the answer's probably yes.
why not the first metal gear solid? that's still probably one of my top 3 of all time
Nowadays if there's a rumour of a game being remastered/ported to PS4 it's probably safer to assume it's true. Well except for Mass Effect
The PS3 collection is already fine enough, so I wouldn't get this if it happened. It would be nice to have a full on MGS compilation similar to Legacy Collection, or a full blown remake of MGS1 but both would probably be unlikely.
@NintendoFan4Lyf As far as I read ...there is no chance of this as Silicon Knights (devs of Twin Snakes) lost the game code or something like that. Also SK are no more.
Quite frankly, it would need all of the first four core titles for me to be interested. I don't see that happening.
Konami will milk that series for all it's worth but the sad truth is that Metal Gear Solid is done. And, being honest the story is complete now so we should let it go to its watery grave.
I loved the first MGS game on the PS1 as much as everyone else.
But i don't get why people keep asking for a remake of that game, because there is one - TWIN SNAKES!
To me, it's the better version of the two, graphics and gameplay wise.
No MGS1? What's the frigging point.
Unless Bluepoint do a SOTC type version, ill stick to my vita collection
I missed out on the series in older days so I would be interested if they remake all 4 core games.
I'm good, still have both PS3 and Vita copies of this. Would totally pick up MGS1 HD if it released on PS4 though.....then I'd probably have to get this collection again
@notdead Twin Snakes is a great remake, but only on GameCube with an expensive copy. Folks here would like it on their PS4.
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened already. Seems like a no brainer for Konami.
That said obviously everyone wants a remake of the first (or a port of twin snakes)
I would buy it if it included MGS4.
I'm playing through the series on vita, but I don't know what I'll do yet once I beat the collection, as I own MGS4 but my PS3 is dead.
if it doesn't include MGS1 and MGS4 then what's the point
it's just Konami being lazy again because they know now Kojima is gone no one cares about the franchise anymore so they are trying to squeeze as much money out of it as they can before it dies
I must be the only person that thinks Twin Snakes is a garbage remake of MGS1 😂😂
@SuperSilverback I didn't like it as much as the original either. I don't think it's "garbage", but it's definitely inferior. I didn't like that they changed the soundtrack, it lost some of its atmosphere. I also didn't like some of the voice changes they made, or the Gamecube controller, amid other things.
Maybe we should badger Bluepoint to do a Metal Gear Solid remake, like they've just done with Shadow of the Colossus? 😉
This would be awesome, although I'd rather see a Silent Hill collection though, one they don't mess up like on PS3. I have yet to play Silent Hill 3 but I can't be bothered right now to dust off the ol' PS2 😅
As much as I love the games, I wouldn't buy it again. I'm still proud of my Snake Eater platinum on the Vita because some of those kerotan frogs were a darn nuisance.
i'd buy it if it has a true remake of MGS 1
@Jake3103 I got to where you first meet Ocelot & Grey Fox. Apparently Snake became Neo and started slow motion back flipping over bullets and slabs of concrete. I was like....nope 😂😂 But yeah id love a Bluepoint remake
It needs MGS1 and MGS4 to even make me consider buying it.
@Gatatog I'm sooooo mad that we haven't gotten a Mass Effect remaster yet. LITERALLY the perfect series to create a remaster of.
@Alexface that would be impossible to do unless they reremake Twin Snake
It wasn't verybgoodnon vita, probably a lotbmore playable on a standard console
I wish we could get a Soul Reaver HD Collection!!! I still have MGS on 360 and Shadow of the Collasus on PS3, give me a new port!!!
PS I know I’m in the minority for not caring about another SoC port. I’m really glad that it exists so others can enjoy it, I just personally didn’t care about it.
Il probably get it but mgs4 should be with this one lol
If it's just the standard HD collection than meh.
But, if it would be the Legacy Collection than it would be worth it.
Pleaseeeeeee. I rarely go back and olay stuff but this i have to.
If it handled like the last guardian remastered, i buy it, mgs 4 really need to upgraded to ps4
If it had the one on PS3 I would buy as I still haven't played it yet.
@Diskach Lack of game code doesn't matter since the HD Collection was made by reverse engineering retail copies. It's just a case of Nintendo having partial ownership of Twin Snakes that prevents any re-release bar possibly the Switch Virtual Console when it eventually arrives (and if it even supports Gamecube).
A PS4 version would have to include MGS1 and 4 for me to really consider it. You don't even need to do anything for 1, just dump a ROM with added trophies.
While not essential, a rejigged Portable Ops with Peace Walker HD controls would be nice too. Rising as well, just give us everything please, Konami.
@Jake3103 Interestly a recent job for Bluepoint said they "working on another remake to a classic game that millions will look forward too"
I did think on what it could be, chances are it will be another Sony game which rules out MGS, so I was thinking Ico (for obvious reasons) Demon Souls due to demand or PlayStation All-stars due to them handling the Vita port. But if it isn't with Sony then MGS could be a real possibility but are Konami really capable of doing such fan service projects these days? I don't know.
I don't think I'd buy it unless it included everything from 1 to 4. Let's get them all on one system please!
@adf86 Companies never do HD remakes for "fan service" they do it because it's low cost/high profit for them. These are all businesses, and whether you like it or not, konami's business decisions have made them more money than if they would've kept kojima on to burn through millions while he "figured out" his vision for another half finished metal gear game.
Armature statement — "Unfortunately this was simply a typo by one of our web developers and is neither a leak nor indication that the MGS HD collection is coming to PS4. Or that Armature is working on any new MGS games."
@NinjaWaddleDee unfortunately you prob wouldn’t want it
EA owns Bioware they’ll throw Microtransactions in such a collections, jack the difficulty & shoehorn in a Multiplayer aspect that ofc has loot boxes...
The PS4 would just be missing 1, IV, and Rising if this comes out.
would be cool to get this hoping MGS4 is getting the remaster treatment as well.
@RedMageLanakyn Konami maybe making money but their doing so by chucking most of their legacy and IPs in the bin and also treating a lot of its staff like crap. The Kojima incident been the most known, you say Kojima blew through millions and delivered a "half finished metal gear" but that was down to Konami not giving his team enough time to finish everything and for sanctioning the budget in the first place. Put simply there's a reason people now say #f**konami
@adf86 They gave him over 4 years and an 80 million dollar budget. He broke multiple deadlines that were set for him and his team as he tried to make sense out of all the "mature and taboo themes" he wanted to put in the game. Simply put, the game got put out the way it did because they gave him too much control, and he spent (wasted) millions and years of time and hadn't even come up with a complete game. You can say F konami all day, but i think the people that treat Kojima as a God are far worse, and the vocal majority.
@RedMageLanakyn that is all speculation on your part. where are you getting all these "facts" which nobody else seems to have access to? based on konami's extremely sketchy track record with how it has treated its fans and its own video game properties, not to mention all the various 3rd party sources claiming inhumane working conditions at the company (and all the notable designers having left the company years ago for these very reasons such as koji igarashi), i would say kojima is far less likely to be the problem here. if he were the problem as you claim, he would have been fired from the company a decade ago. it is becoming less and less common to see anyone support konami... you are just playing devil's advocate or looking for attention.
I'll buy them again if they include the first one with trophies. If it's just MGS2, 3 and Peace Walker like on PS3 then I won't bother.
Metal Gear Solid Kiwami 😁
I'd definitely buy a MGS collection as it's one of those series that I've just never got around to playing (aside from the first one on PS1). I'd only be interested if the whole lot was available in one package, though. Including the first one.
@Porco It's pretty common knowledge that development of the game started in 2012, released in 2016, he missed deadlines (something he was famous for) and had a budget of $80 million. Feel free to look it up yourself if you think i'm making it up.
@RedMageLanakyn I agree with you He missed a lot of deadlines and he wasted 80 mil on Metal Gear Phantom Pain We don't know how much he wasted with Ground Zeroes Must be a lot since they charged 40$ for 40 minutes long game.
Srsly If I was Boss of Konami I would have fired his ass long before Phantom Pain even saw the light of day.
Metal gear solid 3 in PS4 HD wowweee & Peacewalker. Id just hope they put metal gear solid 1 and vr missions on.
@RedMageLanakyn There is no reputable source for that information. Even if true, that is only part of the story. You have not acknowledged any of the ill practices of Konami which dates back long before the Kojima feud. There are far more reputable sources to back that information, but for whatever reason you have chosen to ignore them and have focused your argument entirely against Kojima. As I said, if he was a real problem, he would have been fired from the company years earlier. Why wasn't he? It's because he is one of the few designers who consistently created one masterpiece after another AND generated a profit on top of that. If Konami wants to make more profits at a fraction of the budget, they can stick with their soccer games and pachinko machines. There is a reason why they no longer develop AAA games or why they have alienated their entire work staff. There is a reason why there is no longer a Suikoden team or Silent hill team or Castlevania team at Konami. All the staff responsible for those games were either let go due to Konami showing no interest in a new game in the series, or they left on their own terms due to being treated poorly. There is good reason for the Konami hate and I will continue to boycott them.
@NintendoFan4Lyf
I agree. Twin snakes did add more to the original game and revamped the style with some pretty cool cut scenes. Unfortunately Twin snakes was developed by silicon knights- I agree. I think it would be awesome to play this again on the ps4
@Porco Good for you. I know when to not argue with a Kojima diehard, so i'll back out. For the record, I acknowledge Konami's bad business moves in regards to how they treated staff, and i'm not defending them, but you know what? If I work somewhere and am treated badly, I find another job. If their work conditions are as bad as some have claimed, they'll be out of business soon, but according to their numbers, they're thriving based on the business decisions they've made in the past few years. Weird, huh?
@RedMageLanakyn they are thriving due to their fitness clubs and pachinko businesses. their successes have nothing to do with traditional video games. in other words, they no longer understand the video game market despite being a big part of it for 30 years. that says all you need to know about konami. we would be better off if they exited the industry altogether, rather than have them stick around exploiting and tarnishing the metal gear solid series with their pathetic attempt at making a spin-off game. konami is the laughing stock of the video game industry, followed by EA. even with the horrific year ea had in 2017, it isn't even close to being on the same level as konami on the whole.
@RedMageLanakyn Sometimes it's not as simple as "look for another job" cos not everyone is Kojima. Some just can't take the risk so they'll put up with any old crap a like millions of others. Yes they make profits but at the cost of what? Making cheap cash grabs on beloved IP's, mistreatment of staff, alienating their core fanbase, bloody pachinko machines and haemorrhaging some of the best developers in Japan. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money and these days Konami don't like spending a lot of it.
Wish they would do MGS1 again But updated. I would buy it DAY 1
@adf86 @Porco I get it, you guys aren't konami fans, neither am I really. But what they're doing is making them money, and they'll continue to do those things regardless.
You can always look for another job while you're working at your current one, it really is that simple. People will complain about a job but stay there because they're comfortable. It's hard to break habit, but can be done.
