Metal Gear Solid 4 Xbox 360 version
Tagged with: Metal Gear, Popular

It’s good news that we now know MGS4 will be in the shops on the release date of June 12th, but Hideo Kojima hinted that he had trouble getting all of the game to fit onto a 50GB Blu-Ray disc! Hopefully this means the game will be crammed full of gameplay and not HD movie sequences and I guess this lays to rest the idea of a Metal Gear Solid 4 Xbox 360 version fitting on a DVD.
The only way Xbox 360 owners will be able to enjoy Metal Gear Solid 4 until an Xbox360 version is announced is to pay for the Xbox hardware hack which will enable you to play with Snake to your hearts content.

MGS4 IS ps3 exclusive and all cinematic shots are in-game and I would just like to mention THE GAME IS SO FREAKING AWESOME HAHAHAHA I JUST WENT TO THE OPENING AND GOT A FREE COPY THE FOURTH IN AUSTRALIA TO GET ONE!!! well other than the retailers I guess r_r but that is beside the point :P
all the people who say that it should not come out for the 360 are fanboys because if they werent they would be happy that it possibly might be going to the 360 and the game company would earn more money witch would mean a better sequal (unless this is the last mgs).
waited 2-3 years for left4dead and still planing on killing them all if they delay it.
it's been released as a PS3 exclusive. all this jive talk of it being released on 360 is rubbish. plus i have both consoles so couldn't really give a ****. who in there right minds would pay for a 5 disc game to be released??? and having played on it since its release i can confirm to all the xbox fanboys (whatever that means) that it isn't slow it took 5 minutes to upload to my hardrive (120gb hard drive i thank you) and the FMV sequences are exactly the same graphic wise as the game as the seemlessly (in 90% of the cases) link into one another.
go buy Saints Row 2 or something exclusive on the xbox if you that bothered or buy a PS3 or wait 12 months which by that time all the dl content will have been released ps3 owners will have unlocked everything and you can come back on here and say "we told you so" when no one really cares as we've finished the game on our higher spec systems.
The game was full on the Blu-Ray alone...
So that's be like 3 HD-DVDs... Then there is the graphical power the game takes... It pushes the CPU to the limit... So downgrade the graphics for the xbox 360... A... ******... lot...
1) It will be on Xbox 360, was announced from MGS4 Announcer so ****you ps3 fanboysd :P.
2) Way up, with most games on xbox 360 they use cell shading to render most things, gears of war starts off as a cell shaded so does bioshock, big graphical games yet on a DVD-DL. And it's true, PS3 50gb Blu-ray is put onto a 10gb or less DVD-DL due to lower graphics or the like. It's just the way the console reads the data
3)Gusto, simply stfu m8, gaming is just entertainment, agreed with people on 24/7 but again its's etertainment like any form
4) James couldn;t agree with you more m8. PC just takes the cake in it all tbh.
END OF DISCUSSION.
1) MGS4 will never come out for XBox, it simply doesn't have the capacity or capability to run the game. Period. This rumor has been squashed multiple times by Konami.
2) Do you even know what Cell Shading is? No, none of the games you listed use cell shading, go back to school.
3) A 50 GB Blu-Ray disc will not compress down to 10 GB or less on DVD, are you high or just incredibly stupid? It would take 6 DL-DVDs to hold the game.
To the rest of you clowns...
1) The cutscenes in MGS4 are ALL rendered IN GAME. That means there is no HD video stored on the disc for the cutscenes, so stop using that as the reason that there is so much data because you are wrong.
2) Blu-Ray reads faster than DL-DVD. Let me repeat, BLU-RAY READS FASTER THAN DL-DVD. If you do the math (as I have done here: http://www.r3portfolio.com/?p=20) you will see that Blu-Ray reads at about 1.07 MBps faster than a DL-DVD.

Go to Gamespots website first: "http://www.gamespot.com/news/6191744.html?tag=result;title;0"
It's a Hideo Kojima interview circa Reuters (more reliable than anyone here).
Read a few more posts instead of the first few. You guys all sound dumb saying the same thing as someone before you. Hideo Kojima DID have an interview in which he contradicted all his other "final MGS chapter" saying that it will go on SO LONG AS USERS DEMAND IT. Hooo, sounds like all the money he's making on it may have changed his mind on something he apparently "firmly believed". Also, that he said his role in future games will take a backseat. So Kojima's exclusitivity and love of PS won't mean anything to Konami. I had an Xbox, PS2 and Gcube, and I bought Resident Evil 4 as a purely exclusive Gcube title. WOW, Gcube sales go down and suprisingly THEY PORT THE GAME to PS2 a year later. whoa... its almost like they're trying to make money. Not to mention PS3 markets MGS4 like a system-seller, yet UK sales (ya ****england but Japan, USA and UK are the big three gaming countries) are really bad and so are PS3 sales in relation. Don't take my word, check it out. Besides, keeping ****exclusive takes a lot of money if its through a third party. Think how many ports there have been of other "exclusives." While some most sites are JUMPING at the chance to crack news on this, all they do is just repeat the rumors you nerds are talking about. Go to some legit sites, there actually is no goddamn legit confirmation for a port. BUT there is also not a single legit denial. It's all "no comment" at this point, which makes sense because if its announced that there's a xbox version, who gives a *** about buying a system to own the game, not to mention initial sales (which they need desperately since the game costed so damn much to make) would drop significantly. Don't think from a gamers perspective (chump perspective) think like a market research team member or PR worker. Kojima's production team it HAS been confirmed (once again don't just take my word) is "currently has many projects in development for the xbox 360" Ya, no comment on their names. Hideo and Sony sitting in a tree? No. Future MGS projects and Kojima Prod. working with 360, have they been confirmed? Yes. Is there still a chance that Konami and Kojima Productions would make a bad business choice and stop a port? Yes. Read this XBOXfamily site though, "http://xboxfamily.com/xf/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1123&Itemid=2". Ya know, the best part is, the more everyone talks about it online, the more Konami will consider it, since they used online chats to gather market research on making improvements on the MGS franchise anyways. O and for you "fanboys" I guess you're called, I have a PS3, I will buy MGS4 for it, not my 360, cuz I'm not waiting. My friend here will though and we wanted to research if it would port and we got pissed reading some of these posts looking for a goddamn answer haha. And if you want my personal opinion, PS3 is a better system (come on its damn smooth and very slightly better graphics), but MGS4 is its first truly anticipated game, and so it can't yet compete with the overwhelming amount of great (and I mean ****ing great) 360 games..... yet... that's why I have both haha
get ur pillow and try to stuff it into a baked bean can(......
chances are that you will never do it.
same case for 50GB.
you will never be able to compress 50GB into 8-9GB. it will never happen.
the xbox could possibly run the game. but there would be a bit(a lot) of it missing.
if you can manage to compress 50GB to 8GB or manage to get ur pillow into a baked bean can then put it on the internet, give me a link and i will go see it(not really but who cares).
And to anyone throwing fanboy comments my way: I acknowledge that the 360 sucks. Mine freezes and crashes and sputters at least once a day. So yes. I know it's a fetid piece of garbage, but it has something the PS3 lacks: Games.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is currently being made for wii and 360. Fact
EA games have said they cant keep releasing games for 360 and PS3 at the same time due to converting windows based games over to linux. So they've decided to make the games for the 360 and PC FIRST then convert it over to PS3. This is what caused the delay for GTA4. Both Facts
I aint bitching, these are just the truths what are happening. I dont own a 360 or a PS3 or Wii.
Ps1 did well, Ps2 had a ropey start but 3rd party games saved it, Ps3 is too expensive for the average player and hasnt got the 3rd party support.
Currently playing Ninja Gaiden 2- Dont hold your breath waiting for that to come out on pc.
Also i admit blye ray is great but sony has a history of releasing mediums exclisive to sont and they life cycle is significantly lower that the standard, ie DAT taprs and minidiscs, so blue ray may nbot be the be all and end all, time will tell.
Last but not least playstation 3 is a great consol and there are great games like mgs4 however you cannot over look that xbox consols are far superoer in hardward and is overall the better consol and is xbox released all the playstation eclusives the xbox would be beteer by far
And PS3 fans do get a treat before too long, Bioshock- only a better PS3 optimized version of it- comes out this fall.
But with rumors swirling that Microsoft is already in production on a blu-ray xbox to come out in time for the holidays and Konami already in production on a Xbox version of the game.... I think I can wait.
Last time around for MSG3 it was pure economics the exclusive license deal was worth more than the opening up to gamers on the M$ console. This time around. In the last gen PS2 had a monster lead in console base. This time 360 still to this date has a pretty firm grasp on the #1 slot, According the the May releases Xbox 360 19M consoles sold, PS3 9.2M. Think Konami can resist the $$$ that 19M represent? Especially when the 360 is killing the PS3 at a 16:2 ratio of platinum selling titles.
Both consoles are great.... get over it already.
