- kdawg222, on 10/10/2007, -2/+51The rumor that never dies. oh well carry on
- johnIRL, on 10/10/2007, -5/+45Again...? And no mention of mgs4 going multi-platFORM, just the "franchise"...acid/po/online/etc
- JimmyJJWalker, on 10/10/2007, -5/+37Saying the franchise may go multiplatform does not necessarily mean MGS4 will, I think referrers more to future projects.
Why will this MGS/360 rumor not go away... the developer himself said it was an exclusive, what do you people want? - theteuton, on 10/10/2007, -12/+35Totally impossible for it to be on the 360, they wouldn't be able to fit the textures for both daytime and nighttime on a DVD-9. /sarc
But seriously, its not going to be on the 360... get over it. - aegis9975, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19Not to mention the "franchise" was also announced for the mobile phone.
Metal Gear Solid Mobile (very slick looking)
http://kotaku.com/gaming/gallery/metal-gear-solid-mobile-screenies-282106.php - dunlop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15How many times can the same quote be spun and dugg into a new topic?
- djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -6/+181) Kojima said it's PS3 exclusive. Tretton says it's PS3 exclusive. If it wasn't, don't you think MS would have said as much at E3?
2) The 'last game' (MGS3) didn't go to the Xbox - MGS 2 Substance did.
3) MGS 2 played like ***** on the XBox, which is inexcusable since the XB is so much more powerful than the PS2. - bpwwhirl, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Q4? March 8? They must be talking about their 4th quarter of their fiscal year, not the calendar year..
- theonlybigboss, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13you are an idiot
that is all - Abno, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Resistance sold over a million copies and there's going to be a larger installed base for PS3 by the time march 2008 rolls around. I think MGS4 could sell 2 million copies easily.
- drgnpaladin, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14It's because everyone who has a 360 but refused to buy a PS3 wants Konami to vindicate their decision. Ain't gonna happen folks.
- joefu007, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9MGS4 will be exclusive.... the MG franchise will be multiplatform
- djSyndrome, on 10/31/2007, -2/+8Kojima. Doesn't. Use. FMV.
Also, for you XBots that dugg me down for the PGR4 comment above - it was referring to a message post that came straight from Bizarre (look it up yourself). I'm sorry, but when a second-party developer goes on record stating your precious DVD format has reached its limits, there are problems. - shaselai, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7it's so funny so many fanboy want MGS4 yet i dont see any articles for Mass effect coming to PS3, or bioshock(a couple) etc. It seems there a re a lot of 360fanboys at kotaku and joystiq..
- charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Whatever, my Wii has done nothing but lose for months now. Worst console purchase ever for me.
- dantsai, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Yes. April 1 is the beginning of Japan's fiscal year, so March 8 would be Q4 for them.
- tc811, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4over NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!!!!!
- Dropknee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Kojima announce few month ago, about he need a Sony permission to use a second generation Blu-ray disc (50GB) because the recent Blu-ray disc (25GB) not have enough storage for what he really want to implement, in other words this can't be fitted in DVD-9 disc (8.4GB), but is up to you guys to believe whatever you want.
- panzergeist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If that's true, what's the excuse for Gears of War being the only decent exclusive for the 360 after almost two years of being on the market?
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -7/+10I've always enjoyed the MGS series and I'd like to see it come to 360, but I'll believe it when I see it. Until then I've got a *****-ton of good games coming down the pipeline and a bunch more that I play too much already.
- djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yup. Konami generally dumps a ton of games in March, especially in Japan.
- staticneuron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Lol. I guess I should have put a sarcasm tag on there. I was just regurtiating the comments that were on the PGR page. Its funny how they weren't dugg down as much on that section.
- omyard, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4So from the article all we get is the potential that a release date will be announced. How the hell is that announcing a release date? Dugg down. I won't even touch how ludicrous it is to imply that MGS4 might go multiplatform when the article says no such thing. RTA, read the ***** article.
- djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I sold my Wii for a profit some time ago and used it to buy a PS3. Sure, neither console has much in the way of games right now, but at least the PS3 can play HD movies.
- Walkboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Simultaneous Worldwide Release!
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2And if I'm not mistaken, this is a simultaneous release?
- kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Uh, the same way Konami fit Metal Gear Solid on a single disc...they didn't. MGS was on two CDs, and MGS4 for the 360 would be on two or three DVD-DLs.
- XeriousTrubble, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4and people are still digging this??
- apoc06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2resistance has sold two million copies and motorstorm also sold a million units, i believe
- panzergeist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Bizarre Creations has something to tell you...
- Asianwaste, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Some things are going to be controlled with the tilt sensor. I couldn't imagine how the 360 could emulate that. (the silencer button on the Game Cube just barely passed for button sensitivity.)
- catharz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I totally agree.
I'd never buy a 360 for Viva Pinata: Animal Crossing. - mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Well the Wii has Mario, Smash Bros., Metroid, and Mario Kart coming out.
PS3 on the other hand has a ***** LOAD of more (and better) games than Wii coming out. - mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So the 360 DVD is going to be able to hold more content than a blu-ray? Eyetoy wont work for the PS3 version, but the live cam will?
And lets not forget about downloadable content, which would make the use of a 'substance' version insignificant. - smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4it could go to the PC on 6 DVDs.
- kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Didn't MGS2 rely on the pressure-sensitive buttons of the PS2 controller? It worked fine when ported to 360 and PC.
The changes required would be trivial. If not, I wouldn't bet against MS bundling a tilt-sensitive peripheral with every copy of MGS4. MS wouldn't pass up an opportunity to steal the PS3's biggest exclusive. - apoc06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1exactly, the full quote says: "moving forward... [we are open to taking this franchise multiplatform]"
'moving forward' means: "after we finish up here, we may do x in the future" - kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13 DVD-9 discs (25gb) should be enough.
- foxhoundadmin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1different companies have different-timed fiscal years, kiddo. ;)
- staticneuron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The PS3 drive speed is set. There are no fluctuations in speed where the 360 maximum is higher but depending on where the data is that maximum is not always available. The ps3 can render the data as fast as it can process it. Unified shading Architecture is championed on the 360 but the CPU has to access the main memory through the GPU’s memory controller and shares the same 128 bit bus to GDDR3.
Streaming takes on different meanings then. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2PC games are super duper HD and they fit comfortably on a DVD
- BabyWookie, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5"You have to remember kojima said its going to be ps3 only."
The Capcom guy behind RE4 once said that hell will freeze over before it comes to a console other than the GameCube. Of course, the top brass later explained to him that they need to make money and the game was ported to PS2. - Responder656, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps,"
-Konami
Enough said. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Q4 March 2008 doesn't make any sense.
- kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So many people want MGS4 on other platforms because MGS was one of two defining games of our childhoods, the other being GTA III. BioShock, Mass Effect, Fable 2, PGR4, Halo 3 etc. are tipped to be some of the best and/or most innovative games of recent years, but they're either original games or part of much smaller franchises which weren't ground-breaking or era-defining.
It's the same reason why 360 gamers don't often talk about wanting Gran Turismo, God of War, Tekken, Wipeout etc. to appear on the 360. Each camp is happy arguing that they have the better exclusives, but a few games are deemed so important that both sides are desperate for them. MGS4 and GTA IV are probably the best examples.
For the record, I own neither console. Looking through the list of exclusives, it looks like MS and Sony both have great exclusives lined up. The 360 list appeals to me more, though. If MS secured MGS4, then many people would see no reason to get a PS3 since GTA IV is also multiplatform. - kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If MGS4: Sustenance does come out on the 360, it'll be spanned over multiple dual-layer DVDs. Two (17gb) or three (25.5gb) DVD-DL discs should be enough to house MGS4.
- panzergeist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think Kojima is painfully aware what happens when you bring a great game like MGS to an Xbox console: it is overlooked.
It would take the 360 fanboys realizing that Halo isn't the best thing since sliced bread to make MGS a profitable endeavor on their beloved console. Otherwise, it will cost Konami more money to port the game than they will make back. Especially since the majority of 360 owners don't give a damn about MGS, and only want it to go to the 360 so that they can make fun of Sony and PS3 owners.
On the PS3, MGS4 has a chance to sell enormous numbers of copies, as well as sell systems. On the 360, it will just be another forgotten feather in the 360 gamer's cap. - foxhoundadmin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1nope. not really. if it goes "multi-plat," then it's just a port. EVERYBODY knows that ports AREN'T as good as the original. in fact, kojima once said that he adds/removes things from his ports.
- themacx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1PC may'be (when blu ray is a standard for PC/Mac)... Xbox never.
- DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ah yes, because we all know that franchise = same game and != spin-off.
