metal gear solid HD collection, ported off its HD remakes from the 360/PS3 which still achieves HD quality on the vita screen..

also to note billy, konami clearly states that its not true HD, as your b1tching over ohhh its not true HD if its not full 1080 blah blah blah.

so whos the stupid one o_O

this is why its called HD collection, you can compare the console version to the vita and they look identical.

it says hd on the box when it isnt.

yes i'd love to view them side by side if i could find someone who owned a vita and they could plug it into a nice big screen to do the side by side comparison but as you well know that cant be done.

OMFG!!!

you prove you know nothing, if youve played this on the vita, along with the console version on, you can see visually they both look identical.

konami have clearly indicated that its qHD 960x540 which is a quarter of a 1080 frame on a big screen, so take the fact that the vita screen size is way smaller than a big screen, billy this is how it can acheive what looks HD on the vitas oled screen.

so your b1tching because its not 1080 full hd, and fail to accept the fact that on the vita screen it can offer the same visual quality, the simple fact that those who are playing the game can see this, yet you chose to b1tch.

no one is saying its full hd, you cant accept or understand this, really doesnt suprise me as you constantly show you only wish to belive what you want to.
