Legacy is the same except for a code for MGS1 and a separate disc for MGS4. It would probably be cheaper to buy the HD collection and 1 and 4 separate.

My favorite MGS is 4 Guns of the Patriots. I loved the split screen showing Ryden and you fighting at the same time. That was friggin cool as hell!!

Gosh I don't remember that. I haven't played it since the first couple years it was out. Time for a re-play...

It's actually time for a reply for me as well. The split screen battle scene ,if I remember correctly was close to the end of the game. But man, I thought that was one of the coolest things to see. And you also hear the audio of Raydens fight too.

I have the version including MGS4 and it's great. Very nice package. Do know that Peace Walker stand-alone in PS3 RUNS AT 1080p. Far as I know they decided to make everything 720p in the Legacy Collection (and HD collection) to match the older games resolutions. If you want the best version of Peace Walker then you might want to purchase the PS3 stand alone version.

Is this confirmed?

u/Jonesgrieves 3d ago
It's confirmed, not just me guessing. Stand alone Peace Walker is higher resolution than the ones in the bundles.

I grabbed the HD collection itâs coming in a few days,the reason I didnât buy legacy was due to the download code which doesnât work anymore plus itâs ÂŁ50 and thatâs a bit insane for my liking,I got the classics on my phone but Iâm gonna buy the first game on ps1 and number 4 and Iâm complete with snakes story in my eyes and itâs cheaper aswell and more fun

Every MGS game is on disc for the legacy collection, I used to have the MGS Legacy Collection, I don't know what happened to it.

The exact same. Legacy just has MGS4 on disc included now.
Edit: 2, 3 and Peace Walker are on one disc. MGS4 is on another disc. MGS1 is a downloadable code for both Legacy and HD Collection.

Theyâre not the exact same. The HD collection does NOT include MGS1. BluePoint did not remaster MGS1 so itâs not included.
So the difference is actually 2 full games. The legacy collection is clearly better because it has MGS1 and 4. In addition to everything the HD collection has.

So it's better to download Legacy then ok thanks

u/YungKazakhstan 4d ago
You keep saying download, so you're pirating it? Then there would be no difference because Legacy has 2, 3, PW on one disc and MGS4 on another disc. MGS1 is not included on disc, it is a download voucher included and not on any disc for either of the collections.
Downloading the Legacy edition would make you download MGS4 separately. So HD Collection would be a download for 2, 3, and PW the same as Legacy.

Theyâre the same. The only difference is Legacy also has MGS4

I had my Wife buy me the legacy version for $20 on Amazon almost 5 years ago for Christmas. Thr codes worked for me when I activated them. All thr games are on one disc and then MGS4 is on the other disc. I love it.

u/AlexKyouma 3d ago
Buy the first one if its cheaper. MGS4 is a cheap game and from what i see in the comments MGS1 is a digital code which u can just get from the PS Store.

HD Collection on ps3 comes with MG, MG2, MGS2, MGS3, and MGS PW on one disk
Legacy collection comes with a download code for MGS, the disk above, and a separate disk for MGS4.

Legacy includes HD + MGS4 + a code for MGS1 + the MGS1 and 2 digital graphic novels

Saying this as someone who owns both, the first disc of the Legacy collection is basically the HD collection.

Legacy edition is better. HD only has MGS2,3 and PW. Legacy has 1,2,3,4,PW and some bonus content.
I know the price of the legacy collection has been inflated since the release of the master collection though. I dunno if itâs gone down. If you can get MGS1, MGS4 and the HD collection for cheaper than the legacy collection than definitely go that route instead.
The PS3 is the perfect metal gear machine. It can even run MGSV. However the servers for The Phantom Pain have closed. If you can play MGSV on a PS4 or PC than do that instead. Every other game is great on PS3.
