Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation Vita – Told ya so!

Just before E3, Konami released an E3 apology video because they weren’t going to attend the Electronic Expo. In this video Hideo Kojima taught us all about “Transfarring” and how the PS3 Version of Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker would share save data with the PSP version. He also showed us the Transfarring logo that you can see in the picture to the right.  He stated in the video as well that he thought the Transfarring would start with the PSP version, then he could work on getting PS2 games working with it, and then eventually PS3 games. These are lofty promises but Kojima and his team have made some pretty spectacular technical feats before in the past.

Everyone is clamoring for a Final Fantasy 7 remake, or a Chrono Trigger remake, the list really goes on and on. But I think this has to do with the infantile state of the gaming audience. Re-makes rarely ever live up to expectations, there’s always something off about it, and most fans are turned off. The big problem with gamers is graphics are king, and some people (for instance my brother) won’t even play a game that doesn’t have the best graphics (he’s not a PSone classics fan it seems).
