@Prime_28 @snova9308

personally can't complain, seeing the sheer number of games alone

this is possibly the biggest bulk of "game bundle" I've seen so far

I'm still kind of pissed they did this. I'll wait for the ultra mega edition to release with every game in the franchise before I buy this one.

Fool me once...

@roman4545 That argument would make sense... if it were actually a large span of time between collection releases. The HD collection came out in Nov 2011. Jan 2012 for Europe and Aus. So basically a year ago.

No. You stop playing devil's advocate.

My point is I already bought their collection. Because clearly there wouldn't be one so soon. Since this one does not feature every game I might as well wait for the real collection to come out.

@setzer_sz They may do it down the road. As a PS1 game it would have to be completely redone from the ground up, unlike MGS2 and 3 where they could simply clean up the textures and beef up the resolution, so it would take a lot of time and money.

@OHGFawx @setzer_sz Well they already did remake it. It's called The Twin Snakes and it game out on Gamecube back in 2004. I believe Nintendo owns the rights to it though.

@Superzone Just like Nintendo owns the rights to the Resident Evil remake. They were smart to commission those games. Its just a shame we can't get them in HD because of licensing issues.
