Gotta sit through the guy talking for a moment and of course make sure you watch it in HD if at all possible.

I'm pretty impressed. If MGS2 manages to look this good relative to its original appearance as well I'll be even more impressed. MGS3 on PS2 remains fairly beautiful so giving it the SHINE factor like this practically makes the game look like a PS3 title.

Holy s***. My girlfriend is playing through MGS2 for the first time right now and seeing it through component cables I kept thinking how great it holds up graphically but that is still damn impressive.

I know, right? I'm glad I set my expectations kinda low. And I still don't feel like graphics matter as much as aesthetics (which MGS3 in particular positively excels at) but even still this is looking really, really good.

Maybe it's the fact I haven't played MGS2 in 8 months, but I really don't see much of a difference here. Or in the video, for that matter (And I only finished Snake Eater again about a month and a half ago).

Could I get some side-by-sides here?

Just being displayed at the higher resolution, in 16:9 widescreen instead of 4:3 aspect ratio, with anti-aliasing (less jaggies), looks smooth and delicious. Still the same game mostly the same textures etc, but looks great like cranking up the settings on a PC game.

Well I want to get into this series by the end of the year...at least somewhat...

We can download them separately still if possible, right? Because I'm not all that interested in Peace Walker compared to MGS2 and MGS3.

This. I am super excited. It looks really nice, and it really does look like it was made for the PS3 now too. I'm so happy I'll have the whole MGS series on my PS3 as well, I won't have to hook up the PS2 for them anymore.

I should probably get to selling the essential collection I have, since I won't be needing it anymore. When do the HD remakes come out?

Nowhere I'm currently aware of but there's definitely visible improvement, I booted up MGS2 and 3 and the textures are a lot better. MGS2's screenshot is making the colors a lot more vibrant too.

Doing some basic comparisons from MGS2 screenshots I can find, I'll agree that the picture seems to have brighter colors, but there's really nothing to say that that isn't something adjusted on the TV's screen.

Basically, we need to see two pictures of a few of the same scenes (a couple tanker, a couple Big Shell) side-by-side, either captured or taken on the same television before anybody can make a fair judgment here.

They're not just brighter though, they're flat-out better at illustrating what we're looking at. My Sony Trinitron with component cables can make MGS2 look positively shiny. Hell, it can practically make FFX dance. But it can't make those colors quite that striking!

There's just a certain vibrancy to the matter. The side railing is deeper and the pipelines are more robust.

Okay guys.

MGS2 takes place in New York City, seven years after the Shadow Moses incident.

MGS3 takes place in Russia during the Cold War.

Right?

It always bothered me that MGS2 supposedly took place on the Hudson, but you can't actually see any land, just water in all directions with no shorelines visible. It's a RIVER, you can see one shore while standing on the other. You should be able to see in both directions.

**SPOILERS**

It also strained credulity that when they crashed into Manhattan at the end, they were thrown all the way to Federal Hall, which is a good half-mile from the shore.

I think people have a tendency to remember games looking better than they actually were. MGS2 has certainly aged well, better than pretty much every early PS2 game, but it didn't have the image quality and smoothness that it does now. People remember it being that way, though!

Substance is far more significant than Subsistence. The latter is nice for the camera movement, but that's really the extent of it. Substance adds an extra 10-20 hours of pure gameplay to MGS2.
