Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection is a video game compilation released exclusively for the PlayStation 3.[1] It includes all of the mainline Metal Gear games directed and designed by Hideo Kojima that were released from 1987 through 2012. Bonus content include motion comic adaptations of the Metal Gear Solid graphic novels illustrated by Ashley Wood and a 100-page booklet that catalogs numerous promotional posters, brochures and advertisement related to the games in the compilation. It was released in the Americas on July 9, 2013, in Japan on July 11, 2013, in Europe on September 13, 2013, and in Australia on October 3, 2013. [2]
Content[]
The Legacy Collection consists of two discs and a booklet. The first disc contains Metal Gear Solid 4, already updated with trophy support. The second disc is a dual-layered Blu-ray disc that contains the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, plus motion comic versions of IDW's Metal Gear Solid graphic novels (which adapted the storylines of the first two Metal Gear Solid games with artwork by Ashley Wood). The motion comics were previously released in Japan as a two-disc DVD set in 2008 titled Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinée, but were not released in English until their inclusion in this set. The original Metal Gear Solid and its expansion are not included in either disc, but rather are downloaded from the PlayStation Store using voucher codes included in the set.
