Metal Gear Solid 4 On 360?

[Knight Templar]

What I had heard was the 360 was going to get eather DMC4 or MGS4, and went with DMC4. But does anybody think sony will throw away the only thing 360 games want? Even time will not faze them, try and buy any Zelda game on anything but Nintendo (Not counting PC emulation's).

There was a rumour that MGS4 was running on Xbox 360 architecture in its early stages of development. It was then brought over to the PS3 and thus ended the 360/MGS4 connection.

A massive sackful of dollars says MGS4 stays a PS3 exclusive.

It is coming out for the 360. It has not been said when but they did say that they would say at E3 or at the Tokyo Game Show.

Good luck with that optimism! I'm sure it'll come in handy some day. You surely realise that Blu-ray discs hold over five times as much data than DVDs and that other little fact that content had to be cut from the game to make it fit on a blu-ray disc.....

Dude, there is no way. Its just not possible. Here I'm talking about the information on the disc that is the game itself. An HD DVD disc can hold 30 gigs tops, right? Hideo maxed out the game at 49.7 gigs. Plus, Motion sensor plays a large role, or so the rumour bin would have us believe.

We may see Metal Gear Solid 5 on the 360, but thats only if Hideo wants to. And i'm just guessing, but I think he has a loyalty to Sony.

didn't Hideo himself stated that the 50gig disk isn't big enough? Or is that old news?

 

[the_tralfalmadorian]

wow....what's with the sudden explosion of fanboy-ism on the escapist. i thought this was a more mature forum.

seriously though, they're just computers. They don't require your fanatical devotion....


anyways, back on topic. Nah, i somehow doubt the 360 will get MGS4. oh well, not that big a deal.

 

[Caimekaze]

It won't.
Hideo said he'd stop the series if it was ^^;

...
Bugger.

if MGS4 came out for any other console then there would hardly be a reason to buy a PS3, its not like its completely rubbish or anything, it just doesn't have many quality titles.

 

[Mr Scott]

If anything the factor holding back a 360 port is a certain degree of Hideo Kojima's "loyalty" to Sony, which only... kinda made the Metal Gear Solid games popular. Even though the latest console MGS was made a generation back, I can see a shitstorm of a fanboy riot if there were simultaneous or even later port of MGS4 to a MICROSOFT game console, eigo wa hanasimasu ka? Amerika jin?

 

[end_boss]

Just in case nobody brought it up yet, there have already been at least two games that are released on multiple discs for the 360. Capacity is not the issue at all.

 

[Fire Daemon]

Damn if the Blue ray disks are getting filled up then that game is going to take forever to load. You do know Blue ray is slow as shit right?

Well anyway, I couldn't care about MGS4, sure it looks good but it hardly merits the buying of a console. And as I have not played number one or three I don't care what happens.

Now I don't expect MGS4 to come to 360 and don't really care but I'm calling bullshit on 49.7 gigs. How big is Crysis? 12 GB. You cannot tell me that MGS4 is really, truly using that disc space and couldn't cut out a whole bunch of it. This sounds like one of those bullshit quotes Sony isn't against making for the sake of point scoring. When people ask why MGS4 won't be ported to 360? Oh, it's too massive. That's right this game is too big for that pathetic machine.

 

[wyldefire]

This has been said already but I'll say it again for good measure, Hideo said that the fifty gig blu-ray disc he was using was not big enough for his vision of MGS4. The 360 uses a DVD disc that only holds 7-9 gigs of data, meaninging you need at least five discs, which is more than a little unwieldy. This along with Kojima's loyalty to Sony makes a port practically non-existant. In addition to that MGS4 is a system seller the same way Halo or Gears is, so the argument that it will be ported because no one has a PS3 loses some of its merit. As for Sony paying of Konami, yeah that's possible, but in given their history it is not likely. It is just not something they do very often, as evidenced by the fact they did't throw piles of money at R* or Capcom to keep GTA and DMC exclusive.

Hideo himself said it, and i think he said that even the Blu-Ray was too small for his vision, he had to cut out a lot of the stuff he wanted in. I'm inclined to say its true. And you could, hypothetically, cut out some of it, but then what would be the point of porting it? Cut out most of it, and it will be a lacklustre adventure with poor graphics, stupid AI, and way too short.

I'd imagine a lot of the space would be used on cutscenes and lengthy, lengthy exposition. I've never found the MGS games to pack too much of a WOW factor graphics-wise. They are good looking games don't get me wrong, but there have been games that are visually better on the system.

My God is this gonna be on every game website there is?

MGS4 isn't coming to 360, get over it!

The only chance it will come is if GeOW2 or Halo 4 (or "Halo Wars" if that counts) goes to PS3...and that isn't happening.

Why would we want them?

Just trying to make a point.

MGS4 = PS3 EXCLUSIVE!

The only way they will let PS3 over to 360, is if MS gives up one of their exclusives too, which won't happen.
