The package will include the ‘HD Editions’ of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker along with two Ashley Wood digital graphic novels that are being released outside of Japan for the first time.

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection is exclusive to PlayStation 3 and will not be coming out for the Xbox 360. The father of the franchise Hideo Kojima said the collection was too large for a Xbox version to be created due to the low capacity of Xbox 360’s DVD discs, as opposed to the Blu-rays used by the PlayStation 3 and the fact that Metal Gear Solid 4 just requires a ton of space.

Are you eagerly awaiting to play the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise in all its glory on your PlayStation 3 this summer? Let us know in the comments below.

Check back on GamingBolt for more updates and coverage of Metal Gear Solid 5 in the coming weeks as we get closer to E3 2013.

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection has been announced only for the PS3, not because Sony and Konami have an exclusivity deal, but because Metal Gear Solid 4 is too big to fit on the Xbox 360 DVDs.

Hideo Kojima has revealed that this was one of the major reasons why he couldn’t release the collection on the Xbox 360. The game fits on a single dual-layer Blu-Ray and would need 7 DVD discs on the Xbox 360, according to the co-host of Kojima’s online radio show.

This won’t be a problem with the next Xbox since it’s rumoured to have a Blu-Ray disc and space won’t really be a concern anymore. Will we see the Legacy Collection on the console? Well Kojima certainly thinks so although he hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

The Legacy Collection contains Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, HD versions of MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker, the Trophy Edition of MGS4, the Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, and a number of Metal Gear digital graphic novels.

The game will include Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition – which will also have the original MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 – Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions and Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophy Edition.

President of Konami Tomoyuki Tsuboi stated that, “We wanted to give METAL GEAR SOLID fans the opportunity to experience the series from beginning to end, all on one console. With the collection’s multiple titles, players can truly see how METAL GEAR SOLID evolved into the critically acclaimed and beloved franchise it is today.”

The Legacy Collection will also have two digital graphic novels by Ashley Wood and published by IDW Publications.

So it’s a given that this game will collect all five Metal Gear Solid titles – essentially Metal Gear Solid, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, Sons of Liberty and Peace Walker – into one package. Kojima hasn’t confirmed or denied anything but what else could it? A crossover fighting game? Unlikely.

There are several other Metal Gear Solid games that need to be taken into account like Portable Ops. Maybe that’s part of the collection in some shape or form? Regardless, we’ll update once we have more info.
