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.

The first PS3 game I am truly looking forward to but definately would be good to see it appear on the 360.
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
first off mitch...metal gear solid 2: substance was released on XBOX.
NOT MGS3
MGS3 is wayyy too good of a game anyways..
MGS4 wont be on the 360 unless Konami has like record low sales or somethin..AND theyd have to put it on like 5 or 6 discs and no one wants the hassle of multiple discs...so just get up off your lazy @ss and get a ps3..
I mean lets be realistic DVD DL vs Blue Ray come on who are we joking????
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.
All you ps3/xbox fanboys fighting over who's the most powerful console, how cute xD
Ok i might not have mgs4 since i have a wii but at least i'm not falling for the stupidest argument in history: MY XBOX/PS3 IS BETTER THAN YOURXBOX/PS3 LOLOLOL
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.
Wii ftw

NOPE, there will not be a Blu-ray reader for the 360, Microsoft denied this few months weeks ago. I don’t think that the MGS4 on the PS3 will read slow, remember that the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player in the market. And also I don’t think It will be a 360 release, the 360 is not very popular in japan and they will not waste time with 4 or 5 DVD-DL. Hideo Kojima it’s not interested on porting it to the Xbox 360, It’s Konami, but I don’t know who has more power the publisher (Konami) or the creator/writer/director of the game (Hideo).
Both consoles have their share of good and bad, but neither one comes out above the other.
PS3 has cell technology, X360 has a better GPU... who cares? Both consoles have players, and damn the idiots that say the other one is better. All I have to say is that people should stick with what they like and NOT shove their opinionated **** down other people's throats.
the wii has the best graphics, even though the processor isn't as good as the ps3.
die fanboys
what a true nerd would say. "i has some concrete evidence" shut the **** up you ps3 fanboy. who cares about which console its on. it being on the 360 will only increase its sales. and i would buy it.
i never wished to have mgs 4.
Plus, it's not a simple task to port a game developed exclusivly for one system to another. Remember, Substance for the Xbox was horrible in comparison to either PS2 version.
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.
As Far As Blu-Ray Coming To The 360, Even If Its True They Wont Make The Games For That Drive.
I Think Martin Explains It Well.
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.
im curently renting unreal tournament 3 for ps3 so i can get into tune when the 360 version ships. it would be nice for a 360 version of MGS4 but thats a very slim chance. ive already got mine ordered with the special bluetooth headset.
