In addition 2K16 MT to the complete original game, the $29.99 Subsistence package features new content in the form of an online mode for up to eight players, two Metal Gear games from the MSX system previously unreleased in the US, new camera angles, new levels for the Snake vs. Monkey mode, and a handful of other extras, like new face paint patterns and a duel mode that pits players against the game's bosses in succession. Gamers who preordered also received a Metal Gear Saga Volume 1 DVD, which features a 30-minute documentary-style recounting of the series' narrative, produced by series creator Hideo Kojima and directed by Ryan Payton. The disc also includes a series of interviews with Kojima himself. For those who crave more Metal Gear, a Limited Edition package of the game also goes on sale this week for $39.99. The Limited Edition comes with a third disc with all of the cinematics from Snake Eater (as well as new scenes and narration) cut into a feature-length movie by Kojima himself.
While it's no longer available online, gamers can check with their local GameStop, EB Games, or GameCrazy to see if they have any left. HISTORY Looking at the relatively short history of special-edition versions of games, NPD Group US sales figures show a range of performance. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on the Xbox has sold a little more than 550,000 copies since it was released, while the Game of the Year edition with a budget price and a pair of the PC version's expansion packs built in has almost matched that, with more than 500,000 copies sold. And while it isn't fair to compare cumulative sales of Devil May Cry 3 (released early last year) with Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition (released in January), the revised edition averaged half of the original's sales for their respective first month of release.
