MGS4 on the 360?

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.

It's really not that big of a deal.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

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

Same here, I'll still get it on my PS3, either way...

Yep.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

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.

the reason MGS didn't sell well on XBOX was because the majority had already played it when it came three years earlier for the PS2. I didn't even own a PS2 but still have played through the majority of it and seen the ending so what's the purpose of getting it on the XBOX?

It's clear you're not a MS/XBOX guy and that you enjoy your PS3 maybe a tad beyond what is considered "normal", but you can't argue with the fact that the PS3 has absolutely no good games out right now, and few that they do received mixed reviews.

I'll just get Splinter Cell.

I was never a big fan of MGS, but I'll rent it for the PS3.

If it hits the 360 I'll rent it for achievements, and to see the difference between the two systems.

I have a 15,000+ gamerscore on my 360. Yep, not a MS/Xbox guy at all.

Nobody mentioned the current selection of PS3 games, and when I personally have, I've acknowledged the absence of good games.

Well, Konami is now talking about MGS on other consoles.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

I would get this game on 360 but I am not making any plans until it is officially announced. If this game happends to come out for 360 then I wouldn't be surprised if they say something at E3 but I wont be holding my breath. And another thing calm down people. PS3 owners if it comes out for the 360 you will still have it for the PS3, and 360 owners if it doesn't come out for the 360 then buy a PS3 if you want to play the game so bad.

It would be hilarious if/when it comes out on the 360, especially since so many ps3 fanboys were ready to jump off of a bridge the last time there was a rumor about it not being exclusive.

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 doesnt sign the checks.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

I hope this gets ported, but wish they would either make the announcement or just shut up about it. If they want to ignore 10 million+ potential customers, fine...it's not like we have nothing else to play. It'll hurt them alot more than it'll hurt us.

It seems to be absolutely KILLING some of these Japanese devs that they now have to play ball with the Gaijin.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

This game will be coming to the 360 just like 90% of third party PS3 exclusives have done. Ace Combat 6 is now a 360 exclusive, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 6, Assassins Creed, VF5 are all going multiplatform.

Hell, Katamri which was slated to be a next-gen multiplatform game has been canned for the PS3 and now is only for the 360 and Wii.

Re: MGS4 on the 360?

It's officially, unofficial MGS4 is 360 bound sooner rather than later, Sony your screwed.

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=79306

Konami reckons the USD 100 price cut won't significantly improve sales of the PS3, and as a result the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 game may not remain exclusive to the format, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting.

"I wonder if Sony can win back user support by the price cut of just USD 100," said Kazumi Kitaue, head of Konami's North American and European operations, speaking to Reuters.

"I don't expect a substantial impact... With USD 500, you can buy a personal computer," he said.

Although the latest title in Konami's leading action franchise Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is currently a PlayStation 3 exclusive, Kitaue indicated that the company may consider releasing it on other formats to help recoup development costs.


"Since Metal Gear was born on the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," he said.

Sounds to me like they're trying to hold Sony hostage to get their money back.
