Another Multiplat held back by the lowest common denominator? Thanks to the 360 now we're missing some parts of Metal Gear Solid (the mini games/ easter egg) that made the series what it was. No more SKate boarding mini game, no more Nightmare mini game, and no snake vs monkey. Maybe if it werent for the 360's prehistoric DVD or MS's crap policy where 360 Multiplats must be equal to the competition in order for it to be OK'd for release. In the end, taking away content from what Sony games already had in the first place. Maybe the 3rd Disc costs to much for the already insane $50 price tag?

did anyone actually like the skateboarding minigame? :lol: i know that skateboarding thing was kind of a nod at some PS2 skateboarding game, and the HD collection's MGS3 uses subsistence which (i think) doesn't have snake vs. monkey. ape escape itself is a sony game, so it's obvious as to why it's not in the hd collection.

Ahh yes Snake vs Monkeys. That's what made the series what it is. That's what Metal Gear Solid is known for.

Yeah, the rest of the game is just garbage without the monkeys. Damn you 360..!!!!

Well.... TC is partially right. Snake vs. Monkey isn't included in the HD collection because the Ape Escape monkeys are a Sony IP. But that's not really Microsoft's fault.

well it's obvious the 360 has initiated the apocalypse and soon the living will envy the dead.

I think we can all agree that if the HD Collection was not on the 360, we would have Snake vs Monkey at the very least. So yes, MS held the game back in this case.

In other words, "The TC made perfectly respectable points, but Ill just ask for proof to invalidate everything he said."
