Thought that would make it worth updating to HD, but oh well, guess not. Peace Walker may not have replaced MPO's events in the canon, but it sure replaced its role in the series.

Tell me about it. Plus, MPO's exclusion is especially jarring considering that MGS4 (which is included in the Legacy Collection) actually used stills from that game (or at least, it did. I don't know if the Trophy edition changed all that), and even included MPO on a timeline section in the game. People playing through the legacy (newcomers, not people who followed the series) will have absolutely no clue as to where those scenes came from when playing the game. At least with the HD collection, MGS4 wasn't actually part of the HD collection so its exclusion was excusable. Oh well, at least MPO can be played on the Vita (at least, that's what I've read).
