Novels are a good way of catching up with story for first two releases

Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, says that those who are planning to play all the titles in the series should start with the third one and then move to Guns of the Patriots.

The developer says that the modern controls are the main reason for his choices, as the first two titles require a little more knowledge that could scare newcomers.

Via Twitter Kojima states, "MGS1+2 has camera bird-eye view. If you want to learn the story, then just read the novels. "

The game maker also says that Peace Walker is a good game but it will be hard for players to complete it solo because of its hard boss battles.

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection will launch in early July and includes: Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophy Edition.
