a company does is publish it, kojima himself owns the rights to all the games. He has said many times its a ps3 exclusive and i'm 90% sure there was this inside interview all those years ago when the ps3 first dropped that sony bought up some rights to the game before they even put the ps3 into production and started selling it.

And err Kojima is the vice president of konami now, so yeah...

The substance version will be out for ps3 and 360... they wont do a trophy patch on mgs4 either I bet... I think they will wait to the sustance version to add that (and of course achievements for the 360)

face it MGS4 will be on 360

Is not going to happen simple as that, they are just naive but w/e, let them wish all they want, plus if you want to play it buy a PS3 and buy the game or buy the MGS4 Ps3 bundle

P.S all those who disagree, about the article about the substance MGS2, did the MGS3 Subsitence ever make it on Xbox, it was out a very long time before the xbox DIED or am i wrong

@GAmetimeUK

I write too much lol, so for short for anybody that think it is going to happen, The chances of MGS4 going to 360, are the same chances that Gears of War 2 is going to PS3 so there that's the end of that

You want Metal Gear Solid 4 get a ps3 then

i want Gears 2 on Ps3...thank you very much....

...and you're guarantee to get hits on your webpage. Take a good look at kotaku.

I was told MGS2:sons of liberty would never ever go multi.Hideo Kojima said it himself.And then it went over to xbox as MGS:subsistance or some crap.I was told Silent Hill 2 is only exclusive to the PS2,then that went to xbox.And then,Hideo releases MGS1 on PC ! ! And on the Gamecube ! ! ! So. . .yeah.thats all Im saying.

it just seemed the coolest stuff happened in the cutscenes instead of the gameplay.

let me fight liquid.
let me.... please !

I was so happy that this rumor appeared to have died off, but I suppose when your list of future games is looking bleak, you have to resort to something.

Meh, it's not just blu-ray kids, it's the API that the game is running on...

I bet it's running on Nvidia's Cg since the PS3 uses that, so there is no chance in hell it's going to be ported over to the 360, since that only supports Microsoft's own HLSL.

This is the reason why the ported PS3 games are running sluggishly compared to it's 360 counterpart, the developers are basicly porting over HLSL to the RSX instead of redoing all their work again to make it run properly which will just increase costs....

If it get's ported over to the 360, it will run like shít and will probably overwork the system, so starting over again would be an ideal choice for Kojima, but don't expect it to be identical to the PS3 version...

Gears of War 2 is supposed to be showing what the 360 is really capable of, but they've only improved the lightning effects...

List of future games look bleak? Umm. . .does that include Final Fantasy 13 and Tekken 6 ?

the 360 will have a great library to continue copying from.

You are in for one hell of a great game. One of the best games I ever played.
From start to finish, a complete work of art.

Unless I hear a statement from Kojima himself about the possibility of it being ported to 360 I wont believe nothing!

i think this will be a complete waste of time for konami, because when LBP comes out, i really think huge numbers of 360 owners will purchase a ps3 especially for it. lets say mgs4 comes out for xbox 360 in 12 months, what will be the point??? nearly all xbox 360 owners will have a ps3 by then. the only alternative is to miss out on the best game ever made, its quite simple.

but you fight liquid at the end, a pretty good hand to hand fight

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

Yahoo JP are running a story basically infering that Konami, amongst others, are aware there’s a massive interest in porting Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360. However, the publishers are concious that it’s a Sony game at the moment, but next time around chances are their multiformat strategy will have changed somewhat.

Despite what you’ll no doubt be reading around the web later today, this isn’t Kojima announcing an Xbox 360 version of MGS4…

__________

Kojima wishes people would stop asking about MGS4 on 360

Pressed on MGS4's exclusivity and the possibility of an Xbox 360 port, Kojima reiterated that the PS3 had been chosen because he believed that the series' success had been entwined with PlayStation's, and admitted that "because MGS4 was optimised for the PS3 it is probably not possible".

Asked whether he would develop multiplatform games in future, Kojima said: "If we're talking about the future - not MGS4, but my future titles, if we're referring to that - if the hardware technology rises then obviously, you know, it won't be based on the hardware anymore. Probably I will first create the software and then, um, it's a strange word to say, but port to other hardware if that technological ability rises in all areas."

basically you can expect an mgs4 on an xbox at its next generation when it clones the ps3 and calls itself innovative

Would make me laugh if it came out looking better on 360, that is if it did happen!!!

mgs4 was 20% gameplay 80% bullshiiiiit
i cant wait for splinter cell : conviction. 95% gameplay 5% bullshiiit

lol that would cause havoc over internet. Looking forward to that day. I´m keeping my drama slot open :)

Put another mark on the "meh" camp. I only own a Xbox360 since its games and online component suit my tastes better than the other 2 consoles. I generally don't like Japanese games (except CAPCOM games and Ace Combat) so MGS4 does not interest me. I can see how it would appeal to many people, but it's too much video watching for me.

But damn I would like to have LBP! Sadly we can all be 100% it won’t happen. I have a good friend whom I might be able to persuade to lend me his PS3 for that game.

LOL

i always told you.. 33GB of BS Blu Ray cause 22Gb was the 7.1 True HD sound .. game was 11 GB big..

you can get this on a DVD9 MAX 2 discs... but MGS4 is impossible on 360 right? Ps3tards? i mean TEH CELL!?

owned once again.. but yeah.. you have resi2 which looks worse than gears2.. and KZ2.

I also told ya 10 times that Kojima is just a midget which has nothing to say. Konami decides what they make with "his work".

After MGS4 which will look better on 360 the PS3 could only be used as a vakuum cleaner and some LBP games which can play 3 years old kits (so easy as it is, just building your own lvls is teh fun)

This Game could even be big for the Xbox 360... it's only sold 3.3million on PS3.. I think that number will be beat and this is more then likely why there are now bring it over to 360

A high demand on xbox 360? Well of course, it's one of the greatest games ever made, but I thought you bots said it was a movie.

If they ever do port it over, Kojima said he'd have no part in it. They'd have to remove significant parts of the game, and re-work a lot of the assets.

Incredible, again... this is becoming a soap-opera =O...

"TechRadar has spoken to a Konami rep in the UK, who tells us that the company has no plans right now to release MGS4 on any format other than PlayStation 3."

So no plans. For now... or forever.

Apparently the game is optomized to the brink for the PS3.
You have installs and alot of data and a game engine built from the ground up on the PS3.

If you wanted to keep the same quality without compression than it would take at least a few discs. Also there is no guarantee that it will be as good.

I mean I'm sure it would sell at least over million on the 360 but anyone that wanted to play MGS4 has a Ps3 probably. It might take a few people to make a half decent port with all the stuff that they did on the PS3.

It might be in KPs interest to just start working on a new game rather than trying port MGS4 if there are alot of man hours and troubles to go through to do it.

IMO though it should go to 360. I think this is a game any gamer should at least play through once as long as the quality of the game is driven into the ground by the port.

...Unless Kojima says yes, MGS4 stays on the PS3.
End topic.

Because .

Believe me while its a very pretty and sooooooooo looooooooong cut scenes its not a great game i got bored after a while its not even hard i played gears loads more on my 360 than this . Im not saying its crap but for me not that great

Here it is again. Why cant people just admit its not going to happen?

would 360 owners want a 5 disc plus game out on there system showing how last gen it is in the storage capacity,talk about being owned by the ps3 fans it would be a laughing stock across the net,you thought rrod was bad press, this would take it to the next level.get of your fat ass snake is waiting load disc 2,did i say sit down fat ass load disc number 3.

wow this would be the worst day in gaming history MGS is a playstation icon - look at all these companies that are betraying sony after SONY MADE THEM ALL FINAL FANTASY 7 PUT SQUARE ON THE MAP GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 PUT ROCKSTAR ON THE MAP METAL GEAR SOLID PUT KONAMI ON THE MAP RESIDENT EVIL 1 AND 2 PUT CAPCOM ON THE MAP ALONG WITH DEVIL MAY CRY ALL THESE GAMES STARTED ON THE PLAYSTATION FORMAT WELL I DONT CARE I ONLY CARE ABOUT SONY AND THEIR FIRST PARTY LINEUP STILL NO 3RD PARTY GAME CAN COMPARE TO LBP RESISTANCE 2 MOTORSTORM 2 KILLZONE 2 GOD OF WAR 3 AND SO ON AND SO FORTH

What a bunch of idiots! Now its going to be another 4 months before it goes away.

i really don't think that the 360 can handle this game. i mean i've never seen a game on the 360 looking as great as MGS4.

... i think MGS4 doesn't fit on the 360. it's a pc-like system for shooters and rpgs not for games like MGS, God of War or Little Big Planet.

... we'll see.

bleak in exclusives after gears 2 then what ???? umm umm alan wake ???? whats that

Im sure theres alot of 360 gamers who would like to enjoy this badass game.....but it looks like most 360 fanboys want this on the 360 so they can say PS3 lost another exclusive instead of actually buying it

I don't think kojima will be the one doing the port. Konami could just give the job of porting to someone else. just like with ninja gaiden. the main developer wasn't the one who ported ninja gaiden to the PS3. an didn't some guys who worked on MGS4 just get a job with MS. is it a coincidence or just timing. also all this talk about the 360 not being able to handle this game is total rubbish an you guys know it!! its been said time an time again that developing for the PS3 FIRST makes for a good 360 version, so what would be so different this time around!! you guys just wanna try an hang on to the last bit of hope that the PS3 is more powerful because if it is ported to the 360 an it looks BETTER than the PS3 version you guys should just stop with the more power nonsense an accept the PS3 for what it is.

MGS4 has 33GB of data of which 22GB uses the 7.1 True HD sound.

With HS was the same.. the game had 22Gb and 15GB 7.1 True HD sound.

YOu can get MGS4, so 11GB.. on max 2 DVD9.

Things are not looking too good for sony, LBP does look fantastic, but both killzone2 and R2 look kinda boring, they have team ico stuff and god of war 3 incoming which we all know will be AAA stuff, but all that is so far away.

And pls guys stop talkking about Kojima this midget. He is just a dev.. Konami decides not him. The only thing he can say is that he wont DO the port, thats all.

xbox360 can easily handle MGS4. The games does not uses as much polygons as Gears of War2.. even Uncharted uses more polygons as MGS4.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I dont think this will happen because Kojima worked closely with Sony to get this game to be what it is. What I think should happen is Sony buy up all MGS rights and call it a day.

If it happens it happens. I won't enjoy the game any less. I think we can all agree that we are gamers because we love games not gaming systems.

From game Otacon-Hold it,Snake.Time to change the disc.I know I know... It's a pain,But you need to swap Disc 1 for Disc2.You see disc Labeled "2? Snake- No Otacon- Huh? OH,wait! We're on PS3 System! It;s a Blu-ray Disc. Dual-Layered,too-no need to swap.

until i see complete confirmation from hideo kojima the creator himself saying that mgs4 is coming to xbox 360 only then will i believe it...until then the only place to find this game is on ps3 simple as that

Let's get hypothetical for a moment. If the game is bound for the 360, wouldn't Konami have to leave out the ingame Apple products like its laptops? Want MGS4? Getcha nice piping PS3!

MGO would be 10 times better on xbox live...DUH
its alll about money...and micro soft has money...and way the economy is anyone is willing to take some of that money........

microsoft just can't make new games based on the same genre instead they gotta steal sonys games because the fanboys are crying. Why do you think a lot of the big xbox titles aren't on ps3 its because sony rather make something new and better than be copy cats. Look at quantom thoery by tecmo its sonys answer to gears of war and it will probably play better without the defects. resistence 2 i thought was bad online but when i played halo3 online wow that game sucks wonder why 360 owners can only play cod4. oh yeah so back to microsoft why dont you stop stealing exclusive titles from sony with your paychecks and make some new games for your fanboys. you know your checks and budget isn't infinite you will eventually lose and then your fanboys will cry.

and about metal gear solid being a movie.....5 hours of game play.....and 6 hours of cut scenes...so its not only a movie but 3 movies....id rather play game time not sit and watch some dumb cut scenes for 6 hours.

I don't see this happening. Despite what people think the 50gb (or there abouts) is not taken up with Video Cut Scenes. Most of the cut scenes are using in game textures and graphics with some intelligent post processing effects (ala cell). Hence PS3's strength eg Uncharted.
Besides... snake uses an ps3 controller in the game for F!@$k sake.. as if that doesn't already reek of Exclusive

I highly doubt they will reverse engineer the game so they can port it for 360 when the maker already was complaining about lack of disk space and power (to do what he really wanted). Anyone who wanted this game bad enough already has it or has bought a ps3 for it. And you just know its going to be a gimpy should it come out on 360. Thats how its goes with games built specifically for a system, but i like it that way.

PS. Dont really want to come across as dissing the 360. Im not. I also like my 360 but only when games are using its own respective credentials

nanana x-box can handle msg 4
nanana x-box can never handle msg4

i have only a pc and i musst say it is very very funny to see how the console people are so stupid to grudge nothing for other players.
i have ever thougt that all the gamers are ONE community....

...sad sad sad...

hahahahahahaha....

hoe sonykiddies, remember "JUDGEMENT DAY!!!"

hahahahahahahaha.......
hahahahahahahahaha.......

This is so funny, i'm not buying this fucin movie but damn is this is some classic pawnage sh1t for the books. I expect the SDF will start to riot in the streets.

FINALLY you retards out there can stop with the power of the cell and blue ray and realize anything PS3 can do Xbox 360 can do better. Just take the two highest rated multi-plat games out this year as perfect examples. GTA4 and Bioshock!!

i would like all the hardcore 360 fans to hold there breath!

holding it?

good

dont let go till your dead

mgs4 wasnt so good, crapbox can have it.

This comment is really aimed towards those that think changes to content embedded in the game can not be made. There have been a few games in the past who had minor changes made to accommodate one system or another. A good example is the old school FMV game:

NIGHT TRAP

I say this because it came out on the sega cd first and was then ported to the 3DO. If anyone has played both versions you will know what I am talking about. The opening sequence where the head of S.C.A.T is talking about the situation. He breaks down the acronym as Sega Control Atack Team and then proceeds to pull the cord out of a genesis controller if you chose not to proceed. That was all in the sega cd version.

The 3DO had all the same basic dialog except the acronym was changed to Special Control Attack Team and he pulls the cord on a 3DO controller. It isnt that hard to film the two different segments while keeping the remaining content the same. This may be easier than rewriting cutscene segments of code but it can be done. There are several things that can be made into a more neutral fashion. Such as the iPod can be made into a zune if MS so wishes but honestly they really dont have anything against Apple or its products (well...maybe their OS). So all the references to the apple monitors is a moot point.

The referencing to bluray can be changed but then why would it. If bluray is the hd format winner and MS accepts that then nothing needs to change. Remember the hd war was between bluray and hddvd not MS and sony. MS actually supported both if you would all read the details correctly. Their decision to release hddvd drive instead of blu was their choice but they could have made a blu drive as well (who is to say they dont have one or two prototypes in their RD dept).

Bottom line is there is nothing in MGS4 that is absolutely undeniable can not ever possibly be done on the 360 version that has been done on the ps3. I have seen games on past generation systems that people swore up and down that there would never be a version for another console only to see another version be made. Anyone into gaming history will find that limits of systems are being broken and things that were once impossible are becoming possible.

One such system was the PC Engine. Anyone with an Arcade card and copies of the neogeo games Fatal Fury special and art of fighting, etc will probably agree that it was amazing this little 8bit (psudo 16bit) system was capable of recreating the neogeo experience. Even better than the genesis and SNES.

If the 360 gets mgs4 then it will get mgs4 but for the ps3 crowd that already has it. Why does it matter so much?

Metal Gear Online would better suited for the xbox crowd. Thing is I didnt enjoy playing metal gear all that much. But i did have fun online. If they were to bring that portion over and expand on it id for sure pick it up.

I really don't know what i disliked about the single player... maybe i just sit in the splinter cell camp more i guess.

That Microsoft can check off their list of former PS exclusives coming to the 360.

x-box fanboys want MGS4?
I thought they hated it...it wasn't worthy on the 360. strange

Yeh the various textures it transforms into probably takes up an entire DVD lol. No use putting this game on DVD.

I remember in an interview, he compared the 360 to the PS3 saying that the PS3 was like a movie theater compared to the 360 which he claimed to be just a dvd player. Of course, I think he chose to develop his game only on the PS3 because then the audience could get the full experience like uncompressed audio, cut scenes and all that since the game is quite cinematic. I'm not entirely sure just how big the game is, but I really doubt that Kojima would enjoy downgrading his masterpiece of the year just for it to run on a weaker machine (in terms of capability).

I was more suprised to hear gears of war 1,2 coming to ps3 in 2009 on one blu-ray disc.

Read between the lines people! MGS4 is not coming to 360.

MGS5 WILL BE MULTIPLAT. Get it? Got it? Good.

Quit with the rumors already! I would love this game on xbox. Iv always been a fan, but quit already tell me when the release date is or keep it to yourselves.

does anyone else think this game is LAME! I got a sac boy for ya! And your can put it in yo mouth! Dumb concept! All its missing is a Wii controller.

but but but, teh cell? bruuu ray?

this is what happens when a movie buff install base doesn't buy your supposed biggest game. confusing! you'd think movie buffs would be all over Movie Gray Solid!

you pooor midgets forced Konami to do this. :) lol. dumb droids.

I think if 360 owners were dead-set on playing MGS4, they would have bought PS3's by now. 400 bucks can seem like a lot, but hey, there may eventually be some other games they would get to play on it. And NO, they wouldnt buy it for the Blu-Ray player, lol.

I say dont hold your breath. You want MGS4? Buy a PS3. Or borrow a friend's PS3 that doesn't play often.

this will never die

Well, whether it comes out on the 360 or not. Konami has stated numerous times including Kojima himself that it will not come out on the 360. Maybe this will refresh our memories.

http://www.monstersandcriti...

MGS being ported over before?
You mean MGS2?
That was a huge failure on Konami's part,
and Kojima himself said it left a bad taste in his mouth.

kojama sayd it would be a PS3 EXCLUSIVE.

FYI; im not a fandboy of any kind. im just a hardcore gamer.

Already beat it thought it was Game of the Year, then I played Little Big Planet and things changed. Congrats to 360 owners if you guys get it. I own all 3 consoles so I could care less.

well there something coming soon call update for the 360 and that update brings game installs to hard drive well i don't see why mgs4 cant come out on the 360, if it does i ll die laughing lol hahahahah haha whos next killzone 2 on the 360 lol hahahah

I believe games that STAY exclusive can be appreciated more. But all of this multiplatform stuff in the end is better for the customer. We don't have to go out and buy 2 machines. But then again, it's better to have the machine then to have just that one game. MGS4 coming to x360 still won't get me any closer to playing Heavenly Sword or KillZone 2. Basically, if you want the PS3 games get a PS3. If you want x360 games get an x360. It's better for everybody if they have games on one console that attract them the most.

More exclusives = higher console sales
Higher console sales = better future
Better future = more exclusives

With that said, there are some amazing exclusives on both consoles. Take your pick! And have a wii on the side!

MGS4 – Act 4 After Crying Wolf battle , Metal Gear Lair ……
Trrrrr Trrrrr
Otacon: Snake it’s the time to change the disc , do you see the disc label 17 eject disc n16 & insert disc n17.
Snake: I don’t know there’s a lot of theme, Damn you foxdie my game was 50G blu-ray disc
Otacon: Snake my heart be with you , now you have to use X360 discs machine
Snake: X360 discs machine!!
Otacon: with this tool you can change the discs all the day , just make in front of your Xbox 360 and Snake ………… be careful of RING OF DEATH

i hope they put mgs4 on xbox360 man it be so good on xbox live and i heard dat mgs4 suck playing online on ps3 everytime u go on thier u have go through a hassle just play the game online and with 360 put disk in and play so easy no trouble at all

I'm not saying this shouldnt be on the 360 its just if they do i will be dissapointed in the way game companies are thinking about money and nothing else. Exclusives are now a thing of the past. That means Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and whatever major company manages to make a console (Apple) need to start making 1st party games like crazy.

MS wants all PS3 exclusives cause they know they are true gems, then fine, take them. Sony themselves don't seem interested in securing their third party exclusives like MS, so I think it doesn't matters to them cause they have their first party developers to provide quality gaming. But if Sony has any brains, I think they should at least pay to buy time exclusivity for games like Metal Gear so at least it would drive the sales of the hardware.

am not trying to be offensive or anything...but..haven't u realized that the "50gb" case was a lie, mgs4 was officially stated after the release that its much lower than that by at least 20 gb which at this state drops it to 30gb. and...i have a question that I'm awaiting to get answered since the "port" issues started...why cant u put in ur mind the concept of multi desk? why? Multi Disc EXISTED SINCE THE PS1!...it carries on till today, for e.g..The Lost Odyssey, which was realy fine pointing at "COUCH POTATOES"...so in that case, if such a big developer really wants and boiling in the need to port such a big game, forget about disc issues cause multi disc is an option that they might consider of the porting was restrained.."if" that is, so...THINK of other ways to get out of your nightmare "ps3 fanboyz", ofc, if the rumors where stable enough...hopefully...its a FACT!

OFC!! game companies r thinking about money...u think they wastes millions to gain nothing?...they have to keep their franchise, teams and developers these days arnt as before, they r huge, they need to pump up their imployers needs, they work for a living u know...think of it this way...ur Sqaure Enix "best example of the year", and ur releasing ur biggest game, as known, each final fantasy sells more than the one before it, do u realy think that ff13 if released on the ps3 atm, or even at 2009, would sell as much as ff12 or ff10...its like an investment, ofc u need more sails, u ..ehm..creat a port for the xbox, and ofc for the wii also if possible, its nothing about loyality now, they r all in this cause they love their work which brings them "MONEY".

The bots sure are desperate for this one.

The 360 has some games with good graphics but you guys have to admit when it comes to breath taking graphics the PS3 has the 360 beat. If Konami is able to bring MGS4 to the 360 then they would have pushed the 360 further than any other developer and I don't think it will run as smooth as the ps3 version.

well, if gears of war were released on the PS3, it'd be quite fair!

OH HELL NAW.

Not this again. At this point does it really matter? It's been done on the PS3 for a while now and all eyes are looking toward the future. So if it were to come out on the 360 would it really matter?

I think that it would be possible to do, just not on a single disc. The binaries on the Blu-Ray came out to what? 33GB? By compressing the textures and sound data they could probably squeeze that down enough to fit on 3 DVD's, 4 for sure. Sure the textures and sound would suffer somewhat, but it would probably be acceptable for people who've been playing 360 games.

Who knows whether it will happen? But if it does, does it really matter?

Exclusives get no respect. No respect!

can we let it die already?

The death of the 3rd party exclusive?

Maybe Sony and MS should collaborate on a joint console after all. Let Nintendo and Sony/MS compete. That way the hardcore gamers won't be missing any great games, and the casual gamers can buy a Nintendo. I mean let's face it, unless you are planning on buying both a 360 and PS3, there are great AAA games you won't play, but only a small margin compared to all of the 3rd party games out there.

And the less 3rd party exclusives there are, the less of a significant difference there is between the two consoles.

i wonder what MS would have to do about the advertisment and all of the Sony and Apple merchindise. their all over the place.

1. Sunny's PSP
2. Gunmetal PS3
3. srry cant spell his name Psycho Mantis reffering to the PS1 and PS1 Rumble controller
4. Sony T.V on the plane
5. Apple computer around the plane
6. PS3 controller while controlling the MK. 1,2,3
7. Ipod
8. Blu-Ray Disc at Shadow Mosses
9. Zone Of the Enders Poster and Wallpaper on Otacon's Computer
10. Apple laptop or was it Sony Vaio laptop?

OMG this is taking a long time screw this

hmmm would the 360 fans just go out shooting or doing stealth is my question if this does in fact come out and MS gets rid of all of the PS3 And Apple merchindice

Is only capable on and only belongs on Playstation 3. Please, I thought we were over this like 6 months ago? LittleBigPlanet will be the same, only possible with PS3 and the storage of Blu-ray.

I'm sure we'll see lots of "LBP coming to 360????!?!?" threads soon.

Well as of this article it is still technically unconfirmed. It definitely would not surprise it, along with Mass Effect(high potential) and Bioshock shows third party exclusives are dead, even timed exclusives are dying.

They may not be dead forever, if one console excels over the other (like double the units) we could see third party exclusives re-born but from a financial side there is little gain for third parties.

Directly regarding MGS4 the most important fact is WHO is porting it if it is true. If the MGS4 team is working on something new (and I'm sure they are) this would be a big deal.

Some of you grown A$$ men are still crying over a video game. Its a freakin video game. Who cares what system it goes to? And it shouldn't matter at this point. If the game isn't released within the first few weeks/months of initial hype it isn't gonna make a dent in sales. Look how people are downplaying Bioshock.

I just dont see how people can get all emotional with an electronic device.

A game with Apple AND Sony product placement on xbox 360? It's like free advertising, MS would never let it happen.

Wow 360 fan boys sing a new tune now. What happened to all the "its not a game its an interactive movie" when it was on PS3 now that it might (and I stress MIGHT) come to your system "its the greatest game ever made". I have both PS3 and 360 but I say if it does go to 360 it will look horrible due to all the compression needed plus 5 discs need at least!

why do I keep seeing this type of BS article.

guys, MGS4 will not come to the xbox360 those are all lies, just to excite people to buy Xbox360...

.

I mean, the game had its own PS3 bundle. Thats kind of a definitive thing that says "this game is not going to any other platform".

This whole "rumour" was just developed by IGN to get hits. lol no one actually knows what was said as it was said in JAPANESE and translated using google translator ffs! ATM from what we HAVE HEARD FROM KOJIMA IT'S A PS3 EXCLUSIVE "For the record, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and there are no plans to develop an Xbox 360 version of the game" or

Hideo Kojima: I think it really depends on the title. With MGS4, there was a lot of thinking behind it when we were announcing the exclusive, season-wise and time-wise and Sony technology and hardware wise and so on. But our intention was, since we were always with the PlayStation for the Metal Gear series, I felt that the users also followed the PlayStation as well - I mean all the Metal Gear fans follow the PlayStation. So it was an obvious match to release MGS4 on the PS3. And if we decide PS3, why not optimise it to make the best of that hardware? That was our decision. Of course, this trend might change within us, because as I said, it doesn't really matter on the hardware. Sometimes if we think a game should be exclusive to one platform, we'll go that way, if we think it should be multiplatform because of the game, we could do that, you never know. As I said, I think it really depends on the title.

He probably recognises that for the hardcore MGS fans which this game is tailored for would buy it on the PS3. + We need to recognise that "On August 5, 2008, MGS4 reportedly shipped 3.94 million copies worldwide.[58] Many stores had game players lined up around the block at midnight and the excitement was covered by a variety of news outlets." So there is no need to recoup development costs and is selling extremely well on the system.

I wish they would release this 50GB game on 1 7GB disk. That would be comical. You 360 fans would eat up the low res/textures with the horrible looking cutscenes and then try to prove to everyone bluray isnt needed.
