"Metal Gear Solid HD Collection" has a solid release date for June 29th and will bring a remastered experience from two of the four games in the franchise on the Playstation Vita.
The enahnced "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" for the Playstation Vita, the game brings the old Playstation 2 experience to the portable consoles. While the exact mechanics of high definition transfer are debated, the port of the MGS franchise to handheld is something of a welcome surprise for new fans.
The Vita release will work with the Playstation 3 version:
"Both enjoy upgraded graphics from the original PlayStation®2 versions, and also make use of Kojima Productions' proprietary Transfarring system, where players can transfer save data from their PlayStation®3 METAL GEAR SOLID HD Collection to their PlayStation®Vita system and start the action from where they left off."
Essentially allowing gamers uninterupted sessions, barring brief moments on the subway or grabbing something to eat. The transfer will also utilize the Vita's touchscreen, which will undoubtedly be linked to one of the Metal Gear franchise's puzzles or quick time events.
