Metal Gear Solid 4 Xbox 360 version

hmm, theres a reason Snake eater wasnt released for xbox

i wouldnt be suprised if MGS4 didnt come out on the 360 either. I think i will buy a ps3 soon

i forgot about the blue ray, they could always put MGS4 in 2 discs for the xbox

substance was for the first xbxox u j4ck 4ss

this definately will not be released on the xbox 360, 50 gbs is a lot of data a regular dvd disc can hold about 9 gbs and thats about 5 and a half discs why go through the trouble of creating 5 discs for a crappy ass system like the 360? Blu ray is the future, and you all wasted your money on the xbox 360.

Guys we have to throw in the towel MGS4 will not come to the Xbox 360 one site says this, another site says that………. wat a hunk of junk. We are waiting for something thats just not gonna happend, lets just let bigons be bigons and wait for the next exclusive for 360

I mean lets be realistic DVD DL vs Blue Ray come on who are we joking????

personally the only thing that comes to my mind when i hear that they’re struggling to fit it onto a blu-ray disc is that it’ll probably be even slower than the rest of the ps3 games, which is laughable.

i have no real interest in whether mgs4 comes to the 360 or not cos there are far better games out there that the metal gear series, but why are all the ps3 boys immediately denying that it could ever happen? the way it would work is that microsoft just wouldnt try to show off with overly-rendered cut sequences. of course it could happen, especially when its fourteen months down the line.

I’m pretty sure Metal Gear Solid 4 will not be released on the Xbox360. I’ve got pretty concrete evidence from a friend in the gaming industry who says an Xbox360 version will not be in production. Aside from the obvious problems there would be porting it over to the XBox360. Such as spanning it across numerous DVDs instead of one single Blue-ray disc. You also have to throw into play that Hideo has always been a die hard fan of the Sony Playstation brand of console gaming.

However, will this be the case for Metal Gear Online?

As far as the console argument “my xbachs is bettar thun ur gaystation” just chill out. Just play your games and enjoy them.

they will be a blue ray lecteur on xbox 360

Bigons be bigons. Hilarious!

your dont need 4-5 dvd disks ps3 fan boys u know nothing about blu ray, its so slow they must duplicate game data so the drive lazer dosnt have to travel as far either that or save it to the hard drive. Both methods use up lots of disc space. Also a ps3 cell processor is so stupid to develop for something thats like 35gb of blu ray space works the same as 5 and a bit dvd space. Think bout it cod 4 have virtually the same graphics and the game is exactly the same except ps3 uses blue ray 50gb and xbox 360 uses 10gp dvd. You do the maths

point to be made 360 is on the rise in japan if you would just google it 360>ps3

Also Mgs4 has numerous features that are activated by using the motion sensitive capabilities of the playstation 3 controller. I would imagine it would be difficult to get these things to work on a regular style controller. Combining that on top of the storage issue, it just might be to much for them to handle (or they were paid off by sony :p).

I was a sony fanatic now i own a 360 and i wonder where the F*** are all these great games that made ps and ps2 the greatest consoles ever?Metal gear1,3(yeah 4 WILL be out after Soooooooooo long was it worth waiting so long?Of course not),Final Fantasy 7,12,Resident Evil 1,2,3,4,Tekken TT,Soul Calibur2,3(Again I Know but its too little too late),Devil may cry Onimusha,God Of War,Gran Turismo(here we cry because after spitting on the owners of p3 they made them a ‘favor’ to release something)…you caught the point.I Agree with Abacus both consoles Suck And Prevail At The Same Time.Wake up the video games industry is laughing at us and We Idiots give them the joy.

mgs4 on 360= RIP ps3

die fanboys

they said it because processing data from a blu ray is slow.thats why ps3 games are blurry.x360 games are lot more crispier.gears of war series are raedy to kick mgs series now.the cities in gears of war are surprisingly detailed and not even a single building is copy pasted.the is also long and graphics are better than mgs.
i never wished to have mgs 4.

WHAT?? Ps3 Is Using Blu-Ray Disc On This Game, Ha Enjoy Your 5 Hour Install Which Will Take Up Half Your Hard Drive, Or Your 40 Min. Load Times. Man, I Feel Sorry For You Guys It Take 3 To 4 Min. Just To Load A Movie. BLu-Ray Is So BROKEN…

Lemme say this and put and end;
Cut-scenes WONT take up the 50GB, as remember they’re REAL TIME, so its mainly code and some rendering for effects. Due to Blu-Rays slow reading speeds, alot of the disc (maybe 20GB) will be used on padding.

Second off, MGS 2 : Substance was released on Original XBox. MGS 3 : SubSIStence was PS2 exclusive, and remained, as it sold bad (bottom 12 selling games of its year sadly), and Microsoft wouldnt make that risk.

So as it stands, if MGS 4 sells extremely well, then Microsoft will stick their necks (and wallets) out for this one.

And no, it wouldnt be on multiple discs. Keep in mind that DVD’s read 70% FASTER than Blu-Ray, so they could actually balance out the loading times to be equal on both, while not padding the DVD DL.

Believe me, it makes sense, although a 12 month wait? Ouch, poor 360 gamers will have to avoid the internet like cancer to avoid spoilers, for a WHOLE YEAR….man thats harsh.

Actually, Blu-Ray only takes about 5 minutes to install on your hard drive and usually takes around 2-5 GB… Ramey, you probably don’t have a PS3 so you wouldn’t know…

Look, just because the game is 50gbs - it doesn’t mean it can’t fit on the 360. the reason being is that all the sound is uncompressed. A typical 1 minute sound file in .wav or uncompressed format can weigh in over 5mbs or more.

Not to mention we’re not even sure if the game is 25gbs (a REGULAR blu-ray) OR an ACTUAL dual layer 50GB blu-ray disc. I’ve examined a few movies, some movies barely even peak 20gbs..and that’s over 2 hours of uncompressed audio , in 5.1 and stereo formats. Not to mention the extras, etc.

And you should all remember - Money talks. If MGS4 does not fare well in terms of sales as a direct result of low PS3 units in N.America..Konami will sell out. Don’t even think for a second these 3rd party companies have loyalty or anything. It’s all business. Kojima just makes the games.

Look at Squaresoft , they jumped to Sony real fast. Not to mention Metal gear was originally on the MSX then NES. But I have to add one thing, Hideo Kojima is pretty biased and arrogant. He thinks he’s a film director, as put out by his comment “I will never become a genius like George Lucas”. And how he brands all of his games. He even so portrayed the 360 and PS3 as “The DVD player at home” and the “theater you pay to go watch new releases at” respectively. Pretty asinine comments if I say so myself.

ERRR JEFF IS a ***ard that contradicted himself!

If Metal Gear Solid 4 will require 50GB of data then we’ve got a World Record of unoptimized data. Textures, geometry, etc. all has to be so unoptimized there’s no end to it. This only to make the game appear better in the eyes of the stupified consumer where “x5 times the data would result in x5 the awesomeness of a game”. This is just empty words and marketing, what Sony is great at. Sony also requires users to install certain amount of data on the harddrive without solid reasons, for example Haze required 5GB of harddrive space to run, which seems like the technology overall for the PlayStation 3 have been gotten some serious misplacement. The Metal Gear Solid 4 will launch for the Xbox360 with identical visuals, as MSG4 isn’t looking any better than GRAW (also on PS3) or any other title looking at the technology used. And all of you who have seen GRAW and MSG4 know I am true about this. Since Xbox360 got such a great part of the market it would be stupid for the publishers of MSG4 to miss out that chance, especially when it would easily result in a port for the PC as well if Microsoft would be paying for parts of it since that would span an incredibly wider market than the PS3 which is the console sold worst this generation. When PlayStation 2 sold gold there would be no reason for them to launch the MSG for Xbox, it’s not like the developers/publishers are bound to Sony just “becuase”, there’s been profit for their systems before but today things look a bit grimmer.

you know nothin about programing, on ps3 the developers don’t compress the data so they can use more space on bluray discs, for example, assassins creed, dmc4, gta4, these are all on a single dvd9 on xbox 360.

Well my dear xbox slash poor spelling fanboys.
(note the lack of boi or z)

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

Japanese seems support japanese company.

IT WILL COME OUT ON 360

Hahaha, Ok, lay to rest that idea of this game coming to the Xbox…

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…

Konami announced that it will be released on the xbox 360, but most likely in 2009.

okay one metal gear solid 4 will sell pretty damn fast and it is a good game but who the ****wants to buy a PS3 I mean hell if you want the game on xbox like me but be ready for a big shocker because it wont be because of the large memory it takes to all those who do have a PS3 however are lucky but for all those who still think that MGS4 will be on xbox just keep hopping because it wont

To Everyone,

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.

For everyone who’s caught in the “war for the better gaming system,” ….you’re all nerds. Go out for a jog or something.

Who cares what console, we just wana play great games!!!

real world example of metal gear for 360:

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stupos! i mean seriously Xbox 360 rules but its probaly not happening.and if it does a ton of the game is going to be missing

whoever wrote stupos! man im tototally using that. lol!

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.

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???

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.

Ya free crappy laggy online. blue rays coming to 360. funny how ps3 is the one with all the errors. now go kill your self.

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?

aggh henry i love it when you talk kak

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

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.

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!!!

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

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

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
