Metal Gear Solid was eventually remade for the Gamecube (hell Solid Snake is in SSBB on the Wii), so I don't blame the fan base in wanting a port for the 360. | |
"Don't hold your breath, according to Kojima, who said, "Because MGS4 was optimized for the PS3 it is probably not possible." Dear Mr.Kojima MGS4 on 360 is anything but impossible.Stop being such a douche and compress your files, including the "lossless" music and high quality cut-scenes.You will then see that there shouldn't be any problem fitting your game on a single disc. | |
Leave britney alone! | |
Fitting 7 DVDs worth of stuff may be a challenge, even with compressing audio and video. But then, I would have no idea. | |
Well i get that he doesn't like being asked over and over and over about if his game will come to a console he doesn't care about. Wouldn't you get tired of it? | |
Meh, no more money for him then I guess. I wouldn't buy it, but I definitely know people who would. | |
Sometimes you gotta adore the fans for their dedication; other times you gotta realise that there's just not enough napalm on the planet for 'em. -- Steve | |
I bought a PS3 for the game and got over the whole fan boy thing because I worked for the money so I could afford both systems. Maybe people should stop being fan boys and realize that maybe Sony needs a great exclusive so they don't quit making games altogether and then we would all be stuck with a constant stream of shit games like Halo or Madden. | |
I'm aware that it would be hard for the 360 to recieve MGS4, but he shouldn't be annoyed by it really, as it shows a large amount of people who can't play the game due to their choice of hardware have to do without the possibly final game in a series that was introduced to the Xbox in the form of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. It would not have been difficult to port Metal Gear Solid 3, and to be annoyed at people for wanting his game on the 360 just seems like another slap in the face. It's flattery he is recieving, after all. | |
He said MGS being released exclusively on PS is part of it's sucess... AFAIK that only goes for when your platform actualy does things that others can't(and no, blu ray doesn't count), which right now is PC exclusive territory. Otherwise you are just crippling your sales. | |
Meh. MGS4 for the 360, to not look shitty, would be like FF8. Needs four disks, or more. | |
nope, you don't see PS3-boys whining about wanting a 360 exclusive but I guess that's because the exclusives come out on PC sometime anyway. I'd be pissed to if people kept asking "Will MGS4 be on 360?" "Will MGS4 be on 360?" "Will MGS4 be on 360?" over and over again. Shut up and just wait, nobody asked if Bioshock would come to PS3 but it did eventually, nobody thought taht Dead Rising would come to Wii but it did. Either wait or forget about it. I say let this dog die, and start pumping up rumours of MG5 or Metal Gear Liquid coming to PC exclusivly, then nobody would complain until they find the specs. | |
On the other hand, rumors about MSG5 coming out on the PC should be starting right about... now. Hai KOJIMA WHAT ARE THE SYS. REQ?! OMFG KOJIMA THIS GAME WAS CODED BY MONKEYS, I MEAN, IT'S A TECHNOLOGY PUSHING AND VERY DEMANDING GAME THAT WON'T RUN ON MY POTATO ATTACHED TO A COAT HANGER, OMFG KOJIMA I HATE YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS SUCK AT OPTIMIZATION!!!! Kojima, the grass is always greener on the other side but you still have to mow the lawn. | |
Either that or "the grass is always greener on the other side, but you still have to deal with your neighbors." ;P | |
MSG5 - I think thats what my local Chinese restaraunt keeps adding that makes me sweat uncontrollably. | |
Who says he needs the green he can just garden the beautiful flowers in his yard? | |
I dunno why people want it so badly on the 360, unless it was to shut those annoying fanboys who go on and on about MGS4 whenever I click on a thread announcing how superior the PS3 is to anything else in exsistance. I played it on a friends PS3 - I personally didn't like it. As for maoning about the hardware - he should be pleased some 360 owners want the game - why is he complaining? | |
And we shall see this happen again and again, at the release of LittleBigPlanet, inFAMOUS, God Of War III, Resistance 2, and The Agency. | |
Not on these forums - bu I've seen some pretty stupid posts - like PS3-boys wanting Halo, making some stupid rumours up about Bungie (because they've split from Microsoft, someone said Halo was definatly going to the PS3, and everyone on the thread was getting excited). I've also seen some posts about wanting GoW for the PS3. The again, MGS has been on ALL consoles at some point, so you can see why players might want the game - its not like it was a series exclusive to the Playstation in general. | |
That could happen except for The Agency because it's on PC as well. But I could imagine LBP because after it's released people will realise how awesome and superb it is to all otehr games and that it is the best game in the world and that you can make PENI-...sorry, I mean that since Media Molecule arn't owned my Sony people will notice that and whine for a 360 or Wii equivalent of LBP.
I thought the rumours were about Bungie remaking Marathon for all consoles? Slap that PS3 boy in the face, Halo is definately not comming to PS3 nor do most people want to. And you do make a point, as MGS is not owned by Sony but by Konami so they can do whatever they want with it. I won't be surprised if MGS4 is announced for 360, I'll just groan in morbid anticipation for the 360-fanboys's mockery and misspelled boasts when it's still one of the best selling games on the PS3 | |
I would have thought the matter would have been closed when the game openly mocked the 360, both its hardware and its media format. | |
And even if it was, why would that stop them? Logical impossibility hasn't stopped people whining for a 360 version of MGSIV. (the logical impossibilty coming from the fact that Subsistence or Snake Eater was never on the Xbox). Oh, and its already happening with Tekken 6 - people are even now saying that it will be ported to the 360 (despite the fact that no self respecting Tekken fan would play it on such). | |
Good point - to be honest the 360 might not be able to handle the sheer size and detail of MGS, I wouldn't want a cut down version of the game (like some people, wanting certain sounds taken out or something (above) I'd want the full experiance, 2 disks or not. As for te fanboys - it works both ways, but they are equally annoying (PS3 and 360 fanboys) I havn't owned my 360 long enough to comment on MGS being on XBLA - I've not seen it there, but it may have been taken down if it was selling badly, not many players buy the XBLA games because nobody wants to buy 1000 points - spend 800 on the game, then waste the rest on junk. | |
I seriously doubt that the game would be released on XBLA and not on the PsN. As for comparrisons between the two, you may see the occasional person saying that they heard that the Ps3 is getting Halo 3 or something, but it is dwarfed by the sheer numbers who say that MGS IV for the 360 is an absolute certainty. The worst part is I doubt most of these guys would even play it, so in effect they're worse than me - fanboys who don't even care about the games. | |
Gah, I thought you guys in charge at Escapist HQ knew better than to post stuff like this as news. It's practically inviting people to start a flame war. The rot's already setting in. | |
really - I havn' seen anything I would class as flaming on this thread, natrually people have different opinions, but no flaming as such. | |
This is the internet - any giving of opinion is flaming. | |
I still think that eventually, he's gonna get so sick of people saying that the 360 deserves (yes, they use that word, and somehow can't grasp the irony) MGS IV, that he will start threatening to make Metal Gear Raiden. | |
Am I the only fucking person that thought Raiden was the fucking shit? Apart from his domestic troubles, why does everyone hate him? What's not to like? He can handle a sword like a badass, he can shoot shit, He's gorgeous. Seriously, how can you hate him? | |
Oh hell yes he is. I would hit that with the FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD, YEAHHH!!! In any case, I don't see why the 360 should get absolutely every AAA title that comes out, Sony's gotta have some guns too, you know. | |
I don't hate him either - I actually think he's a great character. But there is a substantial amount of Raiden hate going around, for unknown reasons. | |
People don't like change. | |
They didn't mind Naked Snake. | |
Who cares what platform it's on? A good game is a good game. I'd play Tekken on the 360 as much as i'd play (insert 360 exclusive here) on a PS3, if possible. | |

Leave Hideo Kojima Alone!
Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't coming out for the Xbox 360, and series creator Hideo Kojima wishes you'd all just stop bugging him about it.
In an interview with Eurogamer at Leipzig, Kojima said the game was developed for the PlayStation 3 because he believes the success of the franchise is intertwined with that of the PlayStation, adding that he wished more attention was being paid to the game itself rather than to the hardware on which it was released. "I've been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like, 'Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?' and in the near future I hope they'll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware," he said.
"But, you know, what kind of disturbs me sometimes, because a lot of people ask me about this PS3/360 question, is that it's not about the hardware - I want people to look at the game itself," he continued. "Sometimes I even feel like it should be on a PC so that people don't ask me about hardware and platforms."
Interestingly, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe President David Reeves said in a separate interview that exclusivity is going to become increasingly uncommon as the expense of game development continues to rise, forcing publishers to seek new sources of revenue. "I think we have to accept that exclusivity is not a thing of the past, but it is probably with publishers," Reeves told GamesIndustry. "We might do a few things, where we feel that we need a push here or a push there."
"We have to accept more and more that platform holders themselves cannot have exclusives unless they're given millions and millions of dollars not to develop a particular game for one particular platform," he added. "But for developers, and you could take someone like Quantic Dream for example - a great game, it takes a lot of time to develop, they need a little bit of funding, external development. In exchange, it's exclusive - that works. So exclusivity possibly with developers is more likely than exclusivity with publishers."
And MGS4 on the 360? Don't hold your breath, according to Kojima, who said, "Because MGS4 was optimized for the PS3 it is probably not possible." On the other hand, rumors about MSG5 coming out on the PC should be starting right about... now.
