The PlayStation Vita version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will utilise the handheld's rear touch pad controls.

Hideo Kojima, Big Boss of the Metal Gear franchise, shared the news via his official Twitterfeed last night, along with a couple of new pictures of the game in action. Well, in menus.

"You can slice enemy's throat with knife if you flick the rear touch pad," Kojima explained.

"If you pinch out left and right on real touch panel with first person camera, you can stretch up yourself," he added.

Presumably by "stretch up yourself" Kojima means switch back to third-person mode OR DOES HE?!

Kojima is currently overseeing voice re-recording work for Metal Gear Solid HD on Vita, due for release later this year.

what he means by "stretch up yourself" is raising snake to be able to see/shoot from a higher point. You are able to do that on the console version by pressing both L2 and R2 while pressing R1 (first person view), but since there's no L2/R2 on vita...

I think thats the whole point of the backside touch pad thing D:

As a replacement for the L2/R2 which is still odd imo xD

It certainly is for remote play and rereleases.
