MGS4 on the 360?

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

What a horrible attempt at being funny. Or being a troll. Or...whatever the intent of this post was.

Afterall, who would know better than you, right?

Anyway, back on topic now folks.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

I agree. Wasting money on the 360 only to have it break and then having to buy another one is definitely a waste. Just ****ing stupid really. Good thing this game won't be coming to the 360.

Meh, my 360 isn't the most reliable but it work for me. It has worked since day one.

The PS3 just doesn't appeal to me. I don't want to spend $500+ just to buy a entertainment center and play MGS.

That's just my opinion on my situation. I don't even give a damn about Final Fantasy #### or God of War. I'm sure they are cool games, but I don't feel the need to play them.

The 360 has games that interest me and if MGS could be added to that line-up that would be awesome.

But if it doesn't, I'll live. I want to play MGS4. I don't need to play MGS4.

No worries dude. Everyone has their own preference on what works for them. Some people are just going to cater to that.

I guess it would be pretty easy to rack up his post count at a sports gaming site. Watch.


Hey Longhorn,

Madden is awesome. Tom Brady can't carry Peyton's jock. Bill Belichek is a complete d-bag, who lucked into his championship rings. The Yankees suck and Derek Jeter is a sub-par short-stop.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

I remember this rumor was shot down. I saw an interview with Kojima saying it will only be on PS3 because of the Blu-Ray storage. He clearly stated it is a PS3 exclusive.

Sorry 360 owners.

Kojima isn't a CEO. Disc space matters in a game like GTA where discs would have to be switched out often. I don't think a single person would mind having to change a disc once in a 20 hour game.

I don't know. I mean...changing discs mid-game. It seems so....late 90's. I think the image of that alone would be enough to make a game company not want to do it.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

This comment doesn't make any sense, you treat 360 owners like they are special ed students compared to Playstation owners.

I stand by my opinion that MGS 4 isn't something the Halo/Gears of War contingent will eat up.

MGS 2 on the XBox didn't sell like hotcakes. Silent Hill 4: The Room on Xbox? Underperformed. If Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams hadn't been shipped in that first year, even that game may have been overlooked. The list goes on, Shenmue 2, etc., etc.

Also, the PS2 user base dwarfs all three next-gen owner pools combined, so it isn't as simple to say PS2 owners have (or want) a 360 right now. Or will even buy one in the future, with the Wii thriving and the PS3's complaints being addressed (rumble, online, VOD, games, and probably price).

RE4 to the PS2 is probably a better comparison. By the time MGS4 comes out, the 360 will have a huge margin in sales over the PS3 due to some game about halos or something. Porting games has never been difficult or expensive , and I can't imagine they wouldn't port it over at some point.

I'm not disagreeing about whether it will be ported or not, just that it won't do big numbers on the 360. If it launched day and date with the PS3 version, it would drown beneath Halo 3 & GTA IV. The PS3 has MGS 4 as an AAA tentpole surrounded by mostly unproven "franchises".

As far as ports not being difficult or expensive, I'm sorry, but that's 100% BS. From recent garbage like F.E.A.R. on PS3, to classic goofs like game-killing glitches in Shadow Man (PSX), and abbreviated content (Resident Evil 2, N64), ports can wildly vary in quality and cost. Hence the trend of development being split amongst studios for separate versions of games.

Hell, there was slowdown in parts of the Xbox port of Metal Gear Solid 2 that wasn't present in the PS2 original.

Dude you really need to get it a rest. Everything you post is Pro Sony and put down the 360. It's so blatantly fanboyish it's not funny. I'm glad you love your PS3 and I also like the PS3 but all you do is rub people the wrong way with the agenda.

There's a big difference between the PS1 and N64 and the 360 and PS3. Considering 90% of games are multiplatformed now, it can't be that hard. Unless Sony pays Konami for exclusivity, I would bet a lot that MGS4 will be on the 360 within a year and a half of its release.

If it gets ported to 360, cool. If not, I'll just play it on a PS3, when I eventually get one.
