their are tons of references to ipods macs and ps3 endormsents sunny has a ps3 on the table in the nomand and can be seen playing a psp the. when the mk11 is opend snake is seen holding a ps3 controller acting as if to controll it all of the many computers in the game are Clearly macs and at the end of the game the second to last boss the mind reader psycho mantis references back to him reading your ps1’s memory card and making your controller rumble and you can see flashbacks of the ps1 and memory card slots theirs nothing at all you can realy cut out because all of the cut sceans are relevant and if you miss more than like 5 minutes of one you can become utterly lost some things like the incredibly vast ammount of optional codecs that are included could be cut out possibly the bike chase and first 20 mins of the game

5skinz @ You just don’t get it, do you? I’ll put my explanation in caps so that you can understand it better:

XBOX 360 CAN’T RUN MGS4, AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF ITS HARDRIVE, IT’S BECAUSE IT DOESN’T READ BLU-RAY. WHY? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE A BLU-RAY PLAYER. MGS4 DOESN’T FIT IN A DVD.

Do you understand now? Or do you want me to draw a picture for you? Do you really, REALLY want MGS4 that bad? REALLY!? DO YOU!? Are you willing to pay 60$ for a box of 6 DVDs? That is just humilliating!
“Hey guys, I bought MGS4 today, it comes on a box of 6 DVDs, because my Xbox doesn’t have a Blu-ray player like the PS3 does”, and people start asking you:
“Why didn’t you just buy a PS3?” and you respond:
“Nah. Too expensive, plus Halo and Gears pwns all!!!” then people start insulting you:
“What? You bought a 360 because of a couple of games? PS3 is too expensive? Wow, what a retard. You have to pay 50$ every year for your 360’s online service! PS3’s online is free, and it has Blu-ray player that plays Blu-ray CD’s in HD that possess a 50gb capacity.”, then you go like:
“Huh? Lol, I didn’t understand what you said! Anyway, my 360 is all I care about, nothing more, nothing less. Now if you excuse me, I gotta install this game into my console’s hardrive, which might take a while, but it doesn’t matter. Because I just loooooooooove my Xbox!”

THE END

Fanboy hater i really laughed at your post thats mean from konami hahaha oh man didnt see that coming…………

but on a serious note

at a convrence of MGS4 release a reporter asked if there will be a xbox version and one of the Hideo Kojima’s assistants said “there are no plans YET for a xbox version”

fluit fluit my storie is uit!

And plus if you guys see the Xbox 360 is getting new features..dashboard.. you can copy games to your hard drive aswell.. looks wicked so i think we will be safe to say we can copy MGS 4 to our hard drives aswel

lol still cant get over that joke of the disc swopping though lol thats hillarious

just remember its all about the money at the end of the day

Metal Gear Solid 4 will most likely be on 360, just not any time soon. The only concern I have is how do you fit another syllable into the word subsistence? Incidentally, in response to some complete jokers further up, MGS 2 and 3 were both released on Xbox as substance and subsistence respectively. Also, “Beckiohead” said earlier that “there are far better games that (think she meant than) the Metal Gear Series.” Unfortunately for yourself, if you were talking about any other game in the world you would purely be stating the painfully obvious, however given that you’re talking about MGS, you’re just plain wrong, there are no better games.

I think it’s just the matter of time. MGS and MGS 2 have all ready been a multiplatform. Just be patient and wait. Probably 4 or 5 years later. Lol!!!

All the Australian PS3s now have downgraded hardrive capacity and no backwards compatibility at all, and all of this was to keep the production cost down, and those ba***ds at sony only did this to Australia. Thats why i really dont want to get a PS3. Sucks to be Aussie.

TheSteelest@ Exactly, there’s also a BIG reference to the PS1 in the Screaming Mantis boss fight, where Psycho Mantis says something like: “What? Where’s your data? No memory card! Your hardware has improved!” Then, there’s flashbacks of the PS1 and the PS1 controller. So, even if MGS4 comes to the 360, all of these references, Easter Eggs, and jokes will be cut out, not to mention possible graphics and audio downgrade.

The 360 could even have a 1000 Gb hard drive and still couldn’t handle MGS4. Why? Because it DOESN’T HAVE a Blu-ray player.
It would be ridiculous if a 360 owner wastes his money on a Blu-ray player just to play MGS4, that just proves they could certainly buy at least the 399$ 40 Gb PS3 model (which already has Blu-ray included).

Seriously, I’m no fanboy, in fact, I hate fanboys, but I’m simply presenting FACTS, it’s fair to say the PS3 sucked in its first months, but now it’s only getting better and better. In my opinion (which it doesn’t really matter) the PS3 will eventually be the best console, not that I really care about which console is going to sell more, but what matters is the quality.

Re: MGS 4 - I don’t want to be a spoiler, but what I’m about to write doesn’t really spoil the ending, so I guess it’s safe to write. There’s a part in the game when Otacon tells Snake to look for Disc 2 and prepare to insert it in to the console. Snake tells Otacon that he doesn’t see a 2nd disc. Otacon asks Snake if he’s positive that he doesn’t see a 2nd disc and Snake confirms it. Laughing, Otacon tells Snake, “That’s right, we’re on a PS3, there’s no need for a 2nd disc!” It was so funny, because to me, this confirms that MGS 4 is going nowhere! Sorry, Xbox fanboys - MGS 4 will stay with Sony!

i like both playstation 3 and xbox 360 though got a xbox 360 as i was saving and got sick of waiting to save up 800 dollars 800 dollars buy alot of other good things but anyway everyone seems to forget the fact that xbox 360s now have 128 gb hard drives aswell and that metal gear solid 4 could fit on the hard drive even though it would take up half of it though i really dont know if it will come out for xbox 360 as xbox 360 needs an external bluray reader and that will read through usb if they did it that way they should seriously load all of the game onto the hard drive i dont know why consoles dont do this that what i come to love about pc

vista came along with all its bugs same as xp most of the big bugs are fixed now i have vista with gears of war i have a nvidia 8800gt a great graphics card though my amd dual core lags a wee bit but so do consoles

i love pc in as ***cds or dvd we store it all on hard drive and use cracks if we feel like it meaning i dont have to insert the game everytime to play it

all im saying is gamers if you have pc dont forget the pc if you where a fan of starcraft starcraft 2 is coming out soon http://www.starcraft2.com and if you like command and conquer red alert 2 well good news there to command and conquer red alert 3 is coming out http://www.redalert3.com and that is being made by ea well ea will proberly realease it on xbox 360

all the big companies forget pc companies and corps have to get it into there head that as long as there is smart people called crackers there will always be cracks for pc games to load without the cd or dvd well guess what the xbox 360 is hacked in the way with modded firmware you can play games without the dvd and the playstation 3 will be modded to proberly by means of a custom firmware same as playstation portable companies and corps can try but will never stop this yes they can find out about it and ban wateva then people either find a way around it or buy a new one

o the one thing i f**ken hate is people telling me to get a life and go jog or some crap i have one and these are the people who cant hack that computers and consoles are the future so why i see everyone fight over playstation 3 is better than xbox 360 and vice versa the real bad guys are the ones who tell us to get a life like gusto say that to me in real life and ill play gta 4 on mmmmm your head with a baseball bat and yes this will be real high definition

o and by the way pc has blueray readers aswell

above is my main point

Why there are people that still think MGS4 is going to the 360?
Let’s recapitulate:

1. Like TheSteelest says there are many references of Apple, Sony Ericsson, PS1 and previous MGS titles in this game, which adds more doubt to the release of MGS4 in the 360;

2. Next-gen is all about innovation, and you Xbox owners hope to have this game a year after its release in 6 DVDs?

This is why I consider the PS3 to be the best console, because you guys just want all the games Playstation has, had or will have. The only thing Micro$oft is being good at is porting games to their console instead of creating/innovating.

If you guys think that Halo, Gears, etc. are so good, why do you keep asking to have this game on the 360?
And someone saying this game is the only reason to buy a PS3, then you’re plain retarded. Why?

Software: Home, XMB in-game, Trophies.
Games: Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, God of War III, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, Little Big Planet, SingStar, Buzz, Heavy Rain, Infamous, Siren, SOCOM, White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza, etc. I don’t want to look like a fanboy but man, there are games for all the tastes, and you can’t possibly bash this comments with strong arguments.

Oh, and why there are guys that come in here just to say that people don’t have a life? Why do you come in here in 1st place?

I don’t know if any of you here have played the game, but throughout the game there are references to Apple - Microsoft’s greatest competitor. All the computers used in the game have the Apple logo and there’s even an Ipod that Snake uses to relieve his phsyce. Not only that, but references to the PSOne and PS2 are all over the last chapters of the game’s story line. How are they going to put that in an Xbox game without changing the gameplay/storyline? I’m a die-hard GTA fan, but MGS 4 is beyond what anyone can explain in words. The graphics are sick, the game-play is edge-of-your-seat non-stop action. It’s not an easy game to beat, because it challenges you to really think of ways to complete the missions. Listen, if you’re considering buying a PS3 and still weren’t sold when GTA IV came out, do yourself a favor and cop one today! You will not regret it. If you’re still wondering which console is the better one to have, this game, by itself, catapolted PS3 over the Xbox 360 by miles. Sure, you have a Blu-Ray movie player, music player, photo-album, full Internet access web-browser, video-phone (with the eye-toy - very good quality, I might add), downloadable games & themes, and now, with the 2.40 upgrade, you can download music from your PS3’s hardrive while playing your games. Oh, and they’ve added a Trophys (something similar to the Xbox 360’s achievements, but better!). But it’s MSG 4 that brings out the best of the PS3. This is truly the only entertainment system you need. The name says it all, PlayStation. Why are you sticking with Xbox again?

Business Man — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 12:07:54 +0000

I think we need to look at this from a business perspective.

MGS4 a new innovative game comes to the PS3. The companies backing the game, Hideo and Konami, are Japanese where, yes the PS3 is selling better but the Xbox is still selling.

I think from a profital point of view it would be advantageous to move the game to the 360 as well as it is going to sell, sell, sell.

There is the factor of exclusivity though, although it will never be official it is probable that Sony infact bought exclusivity status of the MGS4 game and so boost sales of the PS3.

But as i said it would make sense to bring the MGS4 to the 360 from a point of view which includes money unless the amount paid by Sony for exclusivity would by far outweigh sales predictions if brought onto the 360.

So funny to watch the fan boys go at it - getting so pissy and mad at each other over a consumer product that they pay money to own. As an impartial owner of a Wii, a 360 & original Xbox, a PS2 & PSOne that hasn’t made the leap to PS3 yet….. I can say this is honestly the only game that makes me want to get a PS3 right now.

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.

ok, youre all ignoring the interview with HIDEO KOJIMA stating that he is currently trying to port the game. Look it up goddammit, its on GameSpot.com!!! He says it himself! also, in an earlier interview, he said that “technically, MGS4 could run perfectly on the Xbox 360, nothing taken out. We would just have to switch it around.” For the record, I do have a life. I just like games. They relieve stress. MGS4 IS coming to the 360, they just said it would take around 6 months to work everything around for it to work. also the ps3 may have blue-ray and an intense cell processor, but every developer on the planet says that 360 is way easier to work with and therefore, they can keep producing better graphics. yes, even better than the ps3. now, the ps3 is a very powerful system, but (from many developers) “incredibly hard to work with.” i hope this all helps, and people, cant we all just get along???

Dude. No. There isn’t any HD cutscene stuff to fill up the disk. IT IS GAME PLAY RENDERED! NO MOVIE FOR YOU! The guy, can’t remember who, who thought GRAW looked as good as MGS4 is a lunatic. GRAW is awesome, but graphically it is abysmal compared to MGS4.

And PS3 fans do get a treat before too long, Bioshock- only a better PS3 optimized version of it- comes out this fall.

By: Dave

Dave — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:40:45 +0000

I think Konami could easily put MGS4 on the XBOX 360. My impression on the game was that they crammed it full of HD cutscenes to claim that they maxed out the capabilities of the PS3 hardware. All they’d have to do is cut out like 7 hours of unnessecary cutscenes. Honestly, I was very unimpressed by MGS4. I thought that all the other Metal Gears were much more groundbreaking and innovative.

By: Chris

Chris — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:02:03 +0000

The question we should be asjing the developers is why would they not want to bring this game to the 360. Microsoft has had the 360 out for over2 years now, and that means that we have alot of people playing xbox. So it is kind of a no brainer to bring it to the 360.

right now i need to upgrade my 8600GT to an 8800GT but i could get a 360 for the same price, and ill probably get both but i will get a 360 first, i love pcs and consoles but pcs generate way better graphics but consoles usually have better games.

they will to release mgs4 and the 360 because if they did they would have to drastically reduce the quality of the game. and as its the last in the series i doubt they would.

By: Brendon

Brendon — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:11:53 +0000

I have read through these comments and i think people are underestimating HD DVD these disk are not as big as blue ray but they are latge, thats another oprion to explore as the game may be able to be coded to play through thr HD 360 edition.

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

I am not a 360 fanboy, but to people like snake who say things like “I feel bad for you 360 owners, you sure are missing out on a lot.” **** you. Well snake, you are missing out on Gears of War, Bioshock, Halo 3 and many other great games that are exclusive to the 360. Metal Gear Solid 4 is great. I played it at my friends house. But honestly, it’s nothing that special. I’m sure there are better games that are playable on the 360. Gears of War got a better review, so did GTA4 (Yes I know GTA4 is for the PS3 also) and also Bioshock got a much better rating. I truely would love to have a PS3, but I still think I don’t want to get one just yet. I personally am not sure if I think Konami would port it to the 360, but if they did I’m sure that they would sell a lot of copies. Once again I am not a fanboy. If someone said something bad about the PS3 I would defend it.

PC better than Console? Well ya if you have 800$ to upgrade your computer every year to play the games. I switched to console for that very reason. Not to mention there are games for 360/PS3 and wii for that matter that will nvr be on PC. Given there are games that are PC and will nvr come out on console, but there usually Real Time Strategy (Warcraft, Starcraft etc.) Ive been playing PC games since Alien Vs Predator 2, and i have to say console has almost completely caught up with PC. Dont get me wrong i luv computers but not for games anymore….mostly porn hehe :P
Currently playing Ninja Gaiden 2- Dont hold your breath waiting for that to come out on pc.

Well the 360 has more A-list titles than PS3 = Fact. Just check it out with the net or your local gamestore.

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.
