![]() ![]() ![]() The problem then with the Metal Gear Legacy Collection is that it is really just a re-release of a previously released Metal Gear collection. It’s a low risk/high return proposition for developers, and the collections generally offer something new to fans – maybe HD graphics or a re-release of a game that debuted on a different platform. The Xbox 360 has collections as well, but the PS3 is loaded with them, and most are console exclusives. In the last few years we’ve seen multiple God of War Collections, the Jak & Daxter Collection, the Journey Collector’s Edition, the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection, and many more. HD re-releases and collections are big business, especially on the PS3. It’s all stuff that’s been previously released though, which makes it a question of value. The Metal Gear titles are among the most well received and influential games in video game history, so the Legacy Collection is filled with quality content all gamers should play. In that sense, this is arguably one of the best video game collection ever released. The new Legacy Collection includes eight Metal Gear games (including spin-offs like the VR Missions), two digital graphic novels, and a booklet that includes images of promotional artwork from the various games over the last quarter century. But this time you get a book! To be fair though, it really is a lovely book. Or the definitive collection that came out in 2011 for PS3 or Xbox 360. For fans that love the series but haven’t played the games in years, this is the definitive collection and worth the replays – assuming, of course, you didn’t already buy the definitive collection last year on Vita. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Metal Gear franchise – which, oddly, was technically in 2012 – Konami has released another Metal Gear collection. Only offered to fans that already have access to everything included It is a collection that includes a collection released last year There is nothing new that isn’t already out ![]()
