Metal Gear Solid HD collection coming

Zone of the Enders set also due.

Hideo Kojima has just announced Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Due out this November as a full retail game, the set will include Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and an HD take on recent PSP title Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.

The PlayStation 3 version will pioneer Kojima's new 'Transfarring' system that will let you transfer your Peace Walker save game from your PSP onto your PS3.

The same system will also feature in an HD collection of the first two Zone of the Enders games, due out next year on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Further down the line, Kojima hopes you'll be able use the Transfarring system to transfer PlayStation 2 games onto your PS3 or NGP, and eventually move full PS3 games between your home console and your NGP, for play on either device.

Speaking in an interview during Konami's pre-E3 showcase, Kojima also stated that Metal Gear Rising was still on track for a 2012 launch.
