Metal Gear and the Xbox 360...what's the big deal?

[bad rider]

Also, I thought the lead of metal gear solid has repeatedly said he had plans to develop something on the xbox 360?

 

[Laughing Man]

No prob with MGS4 appearing on 360. I do have an issue with the tit for tat level of retardation between idiot 360 owners trying to justify colour and symbology as reason behind it appearing on 360 and moronic PS3 owners saying it's never gonna happen.

The trailer means nothing beyond their is gonna be another MGS game

I thought that image was about the new metal gear acid game on the iphone, why do people think it means its coming to the 360? more on topic, people get pissed off because mgs has been a long time sony excluive, so its kind of shocking to the fanboys to see it branching out.

That's why MGS 1 and 2 are both on all the last gen systems right?

 

[stiver]

Just throwing this out there, but am I the only one seeing i + ! translating to iPhone + Ac!d.

Metal Gear Ac!d you know, being spelled with the "!" in it.

There being no other indication or relation to anyhting related with a 360.

I honestly don't care, I found the game to be rather mediocre when I played it on a friend's console. But to answer your question, I agree, PS3 owners have been holding out for good exclusives, looking at their console as a long term investment, but with FFXIII turning, LittleBigPlanet and MGS4 are the only (allegedly) good exclusives they have

..and don't forget resistance 2....on second hand forget I said that(HA HA HA...no?¿ no one?¿ dull persons)....

You were saying?

I must say I find resistance 2 quite a mediocre game(excluding 64 online lagless matches which is awesome and I'm gonna get it soon only for that reason) but I find some elements that have been ripped off games..such as the half shield which looks like the halo bubble shield, the zombies which look like half-stogginized humans from quake 4 and the big enemies look like a bit like boomers from gears of war and I never liked the first one anyway I'm one of those scarce persons that like cod4 damage system

I wouldn't worry about who ripped off whom, you'll go down a long unending road.

I'll add a few more cents to the pool of thoughts here.

I'd like to address the question in the title "What's the big deal?"
The big deal is that this is METAL GEAR we're talking about. A game which has been alive longer than me and which has been incredibly successful. Metal Gear was a game which changed the way that people looked at stealth in games, in fact, it can be called the first successful stealth game if we dismiss the original Wolfenstein which I suspect we can. That, my friend, is the big deal. This is real gaming history in the works.

You realize that Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge came out before Wolfenstein right?

I must correct you, sir. You are automatically adding the letters "3D" whenever you see the word Wolfenstein however the ORIGINAL Wolfenstein came out in 1981, seven years before the first Metal Gear. Go on and Wiki it, it's fascinating stuff.

Yeah, but was that really stealth? It had no real LOS mechanic, so was more just a survival game.

It's certainly not stealth as we know it, but that is why Metal Gear was/is so important to gaming history, you see?

MGS1 is not on the xbox, MGS2 is not on the gamecube, and MGS 3 is only on the playstation 2. All ac!d games were released on psp except for ac!d mobile if you could call that a game. it can be assumed that konami 'dropped' the other platforms for one reason or another. concerning that you have to consider the most recent evidence it would show a sort of brand loyalty that they never released their later games on any other consoles.
here is a history (notice sony platforms are the only ones that recieved all of the MGS titles)
MGS1 was released in 1998 it came to microsoft windows in 2000 and then in 2004 it was released as metal gear solid: twin snakes on the gamecube (this would be the last one that nintendo would recieve), MGS2 came to ps2 in 2001, then to xbox in 2002(last one xbox would recieve...maybe) and then finally to microsoft windows in 2003 (last one for windows). MGS3 came out ONLY for the ps2 in 2004. between 2004 and 2008 they relased two ac!d(thank you to stiver for pointing out how it was spelled) games for the psp.

Achievement points.

Thank you for contributing absolutely nothing to this.

I see that stick is well placed. Calm down.

If they made a MGS4 for 360 with achievements they would probably add trophies for the ps3 version. I think i might be ok with this move. Everybody gets more MGS and I get more reasons to replay it (and a reward for having beat The Boss Extreme mode).

 

[Shadow-Knight]

I've been to other forums where PS3 owners are saying that "That's never going to happen" or "It's probably just a PSP game" and I think their just in denial. I'm excited to have another blockbuster title on the 360, at least I'm getting my moneys worth.

Will you please look at the actual evidence? There is quite literally nothing to support the claim - you're the one in denial.

Somebody is a PS3 fanboy.

Now the 360 gamers will be able to watch the PS3 gamer's favourite movie!
