Looking at my sig, you'll see that two of the last five PS3 games I played were from the HD Collection. I haven't played Snake Eater HD, yet but I have played the 3DS demo and every single other version of Snake Eater made. I don't know if it ends up looking better than the HD version on the PS3 but I do know that it looks better than Subsistance did when I played the PS2 disc upscaled on my PS3 (Backwards compatible PS3's sharpen the visuals on many PS2 games).
I think the hate came from when Konami pulled a Killzone 2 on us and showed what they thought they could do on the 3DS instead of what they were able to do. The 3DS version doesn't look as good as that footage but it DOES look better than any version I've ever played--especially with the 3D running.
