When I went from playstation to xbox, I was afraid the game lines I was playing wouldn't be on it, MGS was one such line, if it isn't on the 360, I will miss it terribly.

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.
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.
Methinks most of that 49.7Gb is gonna be cutscenes.
Don't get me wrong, I loved MGS, and mostly enjoyed MGS2, but Jesus, the amount of cutscenes and lengthy Codec conversations drove me mad. Especially running through it the 4th or 5th time.
I have no doubt that it is gonna be one hell of a beautiful game, but how long are you going to be sat just watching it, getting blinded by bloom-lighting effects?

Long enough for me to drink in the awe inspiring plot and cinematography that makes Hideo Kojima a revered Director and Writer. Yet again why it wouldn't work on the 360 - It has plot.
I think I speak for the Escapist when I say that we have had enough of your blatant console insults. This is a place for intelligent conversations with a theme of videogames, not for flinging waste at your hated companies. If you want to talk about the 360 please make it constructive and less "fanboylike"

If you want to insult a pile of wire and plastic why can't you do that whithout insulting those that bought that pile of plastic and wire.

Grr. Stop rubbing it in. I've accepted that it won't be on the 360, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. The only way I'll be able to get a PS3 is if I sell my 360. There is NO WAY, I am having all three consoles of a gen again, not at these prices.

And as for the awe inspiring plot and cinematography, I'd be completely sated with a graphic novel. These have been the only games I've ever bought like books - for the sake of plot and nothing else.

Agreed. Thank you Fire for putting that so well. We get that you don't like the Xbox Indigo. The cheap shots aren't needed now.

As for the whole it couldn't fit on the Blu-Ray disc. When I read about it in a gaming mag they said it sounded like another of Hideo's stunts. Complaining about it for one reason or another, whether as an excuse for the games lateness or just hyping what we all know will be another game a grand scope and artistic vision. Or just some pretty scenes and lengthy pretentious dialogue if it's not your thing.

As for it coming to 360, I would love that as I don't want to spend a load of money on another console to play one game. But i think it is unlikely. It is supposed to be an exclusive. One that Sony will feel they need to keep console sails high.

Why do you guys(majority) swallow Hideo's bullshit anyway?
50gb is a shit load a space.I will not believe that Hideo managed to fill it all up, even if he purposely tried to.The guy's probably hyping up his own game.

Assuming(hypothetically) that the game would fit on 1-2 DVD's(9.5gb-19gb of data),can you come up with any other reasons as to why MGS4 couldn't get ported to 360(I'm talking technical.No "Hideo is teh Sonyz Fanboi" BS)? Are 360-owners not smug enough?(j/k)


Saying that, the game probably won't come out on 360 anyway.

The story is pretty pants too in my view.

There isnt going to be an MGS 4. Didnt MGS2 hit to you that Hideo wants to go on to do different things? He tried to alienate his fans with weird mindscrew, but that didnt work, so he's making one last magnum opus, then I'm sure he'll make it very, very clear that it's the END of the SERIES. Why cant folks just let a good series be laid to rest before it becomes tired and shitty? why must we bilk every game for all the sequils it's worth? Well, MGS will not be raped in this fashion.

Thought i read somewhere that they got that 50 GB due to someone insisting on using lossless audio.
Anyway mgs4 on xbox, no way.
OT: I hope this game is less like the last MGS and more like the old ones, might even make me pick up a ps3.

was reading stuff on the internet
that kojima thinks that ps3 hasnt sold enough units
which means that there wont be as many sales as he origionally intended
so if it doesnt hes thinking about putting it onto 360 where there is a good number of sales
to increase figures

its the internet so its not exactly concrete evidence
would be nice though
just think il have to go and save up for it

If Kojima did manage to fill 50 gigs, expect 32 hours of cutscenes in 40 minute blocks.
In any case, I'd really like there to be a port. But it isn't going to happen and I'm not shelling out the cash for a PS3. MGS4 isn't coming to the 360, but somehow I'll make it through life. Somehow.

This whole thread is starting to remind me of nearly every thread on the official Ace Combat 6 forums where 90% of the posters never played the game because they own a PS3 and are pissed about the lack of a port.

And I think we should all take into perspective the fact that the game hasn't come out yet and we're all talking like the game we haven't played is brilliant and will single-handedly save the PS3 and doom the 360. MGS4 could turn out to be another MGS2, and I hated that game so much I became physically ill (luckily MGS3 came out and soothed my rage).
