As for the HD "Upgrades". They were hardly upgrades. All they did was port the games with a higher resolution. Nothing as impressive as the Halo CE Anniversary HD remake. That thing had a completely new 3D engine with all new 3D models, sounds, music, etc. The MGS HD collection was great, but it wasn't a new experience like you're making it sound like. |
I don't know either. It could happen. My main reason I don't think it'll happen is because 4-5 years is quite a long time for a mere port. It needs to have something to make it worth while. Like new modes, characters, graphics, etc. Something. I guess that could happen though.
There is no benefit to releasing it now instead of before. You say to build hype for MGSR, but the again, they would have sold much more copies for MGS4 had they released it way before now. So they would have had a bigger MGS audience on the 360 if they would have released it earlier. Thus, building a bigger audience for MGSR. For that reason, I don't see it unlikely. There is no benefit to releasing it now instead of before.
It doesn't matter if they were actually HD upgrades. That's what they were marketed as. It gives the games some incentives. Unlike MGS4 - whos only incentive would be boosting the 360s fanbase even though they would have had more success if they did it earlier. Way earlier.
If they were interested in a 360 port, I don't think they would have missed out on so many years of opportunity. If they were interested in a 360 port, they would have maximizes their potential profits years ago. I'd say the reasonable conclusion to draw from this is they're not interested.
