Konami Set To Unleash MGS, Silent Hill and Zone of the Enders HD Remakes

Ever gotten to a good point in one of your favorite games and then the wife starts nagging you to go visit the in-laws? Well I haven’t, but I imagine the problem would exist, and now there’s a solution.

Transfarring, announced at the Konami Pre-E3 2011 event we attended, was amongst a number of reveals including announcements of a series of HD remake collections for Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill and Zone of the Enders.

The Metal Gear Solid HD collection is set to include MGS 2: Sons of Liberty, MGS 3: Snake Eater and a HD remake of the hit PSP title MGS: Peace Walker.  The Enders collection will feature the first two games in the series and the Silent Hill HD collection will feature SH 2 and 3.  Better yet, all of these collections are coming to the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3!  All games also will feature achievement and trophy support.  Sweet!

The new collections will be completely redesigned, they are not ports or emulations.  They’ll even have new HD interfaces.  Ooooh, ahhhhh.

Transfarring, as previously mentioned, was also revealed and will allow players to transfer their saves from a Playstation 3 to a PSP/Vita and vice-versa. The quick and simple process literally only takes a few seconds and will be supported by a wide variety of titles in future.  Genius!

How did the one and only Kojima-san announce all of this? Via a Mega64 video!!  No… seriously:

Now, I know what you’re saying. “Guys, if you were at the Pre-E3 event on Thursday with Konami, why did it take you two days to post this amazing news!?” Well, because we were playing a new game called “Drink many beers” It’s NOT in HD.

More importantly, is the Mega 64 video funnier in Japanese? Of course it is!!
