Rumor: Metal Gear Solid 4 Coming to Xbox 360

01 January 2008 -- XboxFamily.com claims that a Konami distribution representative said that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to the Xbox 360. Speaking at a distribution meeting, the Konami rep allegedly informed XboxFamily.com that MGS4 had been in development for the Xbox 360 since early 2007 and will be released for the 360 between 12 to 14 months after the PS3 version hits shelves.

XboxFamily.com contacted Microsoft's PR manager John Porcaro via email and received a response.

[freakyzeeky]

All this coming from Xboxfamily.com... lol

[spec_ops_comm]

Konami makes their biggest announcement of 2008 (that's right, 2008!) not to the media or its shareholders, but Xboxfamily.com first???

If I owned stock in Konami and found out they revealed news of such impact to some Xbox site, I would not be happy at all...

This is a sad attempt from an Xbox fanboy site to get hits. Unfortunately, it worked, as this news has already reach 1300+ degrees.

[MADGameR]

If MGS4 comes to the 360 as well then the gaming industry as WE know it will fall. The gaming industry will fall to lower standards. SONY HAS to do great in order for the gaming industry to survive. So MGS4 will not come to the 360

[KillJoi99]

Hits don't mean crap to this site. Please at least research before you post stupidity.

[ravinash]

is that while this site goes on about what this rep said, the only document they can publish is the letter from MS saying no comment.
The one comment they keep saying is that it is coming to Xbox...well keep saying it does not make it so.

[toughNAME]

lol even if this became a 360 exclusive I still wouldn't be interested in this game

It would be funny though...with all the petitions going around people will be BEGGING for some interesting** HD DVD/Blu Ray news

[ngg12345]

Not to lie.

[GunShotEddy]

Consider the fact that Xbox Family broke the story about motion-sensing controls for the Xbox 360. Two days later Team Xbox (Owned by IGN) said it was true and they'd have the full story this week. But no, yea, you stick only to Gamespot and IGN.

[minorcomplex]

Even after Hideo Kojima, Ryan Peyton, and Peter Moore all saying MGS4 is definately not coming to the 360 (Ryan Peyton even saying "You're going to have to buy a PS3 to play MGS4), you guys still believe that its coming to the 360? Why would Konami or Kojima Productions annouce something this huge to a small xbox fanboy site?

Almost every one of these rumors stemed off of someone's "insider", and it always ends up being false. So since there has been many "OMGZ!! MGS4 is coming to the 360! Trust me, I have an insider!!" rumors, I guarantee you this is fanboy bull****.

The Xbox 360 and the PS3 both have their exclusives that won't come to other consoles, get over it, and I don't need an "insider" for you to believe that.

[Genuine]

MGS4 coming to 360 is not only possible, but it's probable. So is FF. Not that I really care, I'm not a fan of either.

[minorcomplex]

Quote from Hideo Kojima:
""The PS3 is like the theatre, it's a little bit high-priced but it has to be high quality as well," he explained. "The 360 is a DVD, it still needs to be high quality but you need more variations, while the Wii is almost like a TV channel, because every game you have is with your family".

[L]ike I said, MGS4 is aimed for the movie theatre, it's aimed for the PS3, so the game's scenario and graphics need this theatre-type hardware," Kojima responded. "It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform."

Quote from Ryan Peyton:
"We're telling our fans that if you want to play 'Metal Gear Solid 4', you have to buy a PS3.

The PlayStation brand has always been good to us, and we're pretty bullish on the PS3."

...so you guys believe a xbox fanboy website over the people who are making the game? God, some people are blind and ignorant.

Would MGS4 sell more if they released on the 360? Definately yes. But the sad facts are there, both the creater and producer both keep saying they are PS3 exclusive. So will it release on any other console other than the PS3? No.

So like Ryan Peyton, the producer of Metal Gear Solid 4 says, buy a PS3 if you want to play Metal Gear Solid 4.

[TANOD]

cant believe that stories like these gets posted every now and then

AGAIN the contributor to this story is :_ ROUND PEG ---one of the worst BOTS in the forum

[i Shank u]

wow some people are acting like babies over this. its likely to be ported because it makes business sense. you all seem to disagree because it doesnt make fan-boy sense.

[n4gTurnsU_WickedGay]

you would be right, except that it has been stated by several ppl that Konami is contractually obligated to keep MGS4 a ps3 exclusive.

[GCO Gamer]

NOOOOOO

[ddldave]

ARGHH!!!! THIS BETTER NOT BE TRUE!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ALL MY DREAMS AND HOPES ARE GONE! THIS BETTER STAY PS3 EXCLUSIVE! OH GOD NOOOO!!!!! ARGH!!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU IF THIS GAME GOES TO 360! THIS AND FF13 ARE THE PS3'S ONLY HOPE!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LinuxGuru]

How in the Bloody Hell they could even begin to fit the entirety of the monster that is Metal Gear Solid 4 on one DVD 9 is beyond my understanding.

Reasons I find this unlikeley:

- There is no way this can be proven

- Multiple DVDs would be needed to contain the entire game

also....

http://kotaku.com/gaming/be...

[socomnick]

Compression m8 Sony blueray drive holds more data than a dvd 9 right but it reads it much slower. In order to overcome this hurdle they do not compress their data and just spread it through the blueray basically making something that would have been 7 gigs compressed into 22 gigs. This is why multiplatform tittles are much bigger sizes on ps3 but contain the same amount of content.

[Shankle]

That's absolute balls. Multiplatform titlestake up the same memory on dvds as they do on blu ray discs. Don't you remember the article in which a reviewer ranted about the fact that review copies of multiplatform ps3 games came on dvds?
What I will tell you is that MGS4 has uncompressed audio, which takes up a huge amount of memory.

[FirstknighT]

Seriously I'm tired of these articles and this game. There are way better games out there in 2008.

[LinuxGuru]

Thankfully that's only your opinion of the quality of this game.

*rolls eyes*

[Genuine]

Actually, I agree with FirstKnight. MGS is entirely overrated.

[GCO Gamer]

Yea, that so ture

[green]

agree with first knight as well.After MGS2 i stopped playing them.The stories never really made sense and after playing Splinter cell i never looked back.
So dont care if it comes out on the 360.And as for DVD9 limitations it might fit.After all Mass Effect is 6.7gig and i put in 20 hours,Assasins Creed - 6.2gig and i heard that if you insert your PS3 UT3 into the blue-ray drive of a pc it would read 4.5gig.

[giovonni]

I feel your pain, I said the same thing about MGS. After playing part two
I felt cheated. Right around that time splinter cell came out and I never looked at MGS in the same light. MGS is well respected, but they have to do something about these General Hospital story lines.

[TheZippo]

I remember playing Metal Gear as a kid on the NES. Then I graduated to the PS1 version. It was only after the first Metal Gear on the PS2 did I realize that this game wasn't for me anymore.

One reason, the story line. Whenever one of the characters shot another and exclaimed "I forgot. Your heart is on the other side." and including all the other WTF moments I knew it wasn't for me. The second reason was probably Splinter Cell. Which in my opinion has better stealth features.

[Bubble Buddy]

Yeah i know eh guys... now they're all in denial it's a good game... and it's not going on 360. don't worry guys. I'm sure Ninja Gaiden 2 will be just as good /end sarcasm.

[jessupj]

Almost every reply in this post made me die a little bit inside. I for one actually appriciate well crafted games and intricate story lines. Maybe when you play this game the whole way through and still say it's a bad game, then I'll take you seriously.

[TheZippo]

"Yeah i know eh guys... now they're all in denial it's a good game... and it's not going on 360. don't worry guys. I'm sure Ninja Gaiden 2 will be just as good /end sarcasm."

I think I'm going to pass on Ninja Gaiden 2. I'll still be too busy playing Heavenly Sword. A game that in my opinion is better then Ninja Gaiden and one that has one of the most incredible stories ever.

Don't just assume that anyone who may have a distaste for a certain title means they only play on another platform. People have different opinions respect that and quit being a fanboy.

[IntelligentAj]

Let me take a stab in the dark and guess: They're all on the 360 right? Personal opinion and your in the severe minority at that.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Look at the PS3rd Droids cry, LOL TANOD is acting like a little b___h screaming NO NO NO NO NO NO!

LOL This would be all to funny if were to happen, to bad it's not a better game like God of War. We should get GOW next gen anyway when Playstations are no more.

"Multiple DVDs would be needed to contain the entire game" <--- blah blah blah, whine whine whine, cry cry cry, boo hoo, sniff sniff (someone needs his binky)

[LinuxGuru]

How am I boo-hooing?

It's a technical limitation that's a definite reality.

Sorry if I appear defensive, but that's unfortunately the case.

Of course Xbox fans will say this game isn't that important or good....I fully expect that.

I fully expect people to talk down about something they don't have but secretly wish they did.

It's a common psychological issue.

[The_Engineer]

snatch snot

PS3 owners don't cry over YET ANOTHER "OMGMGS4360" rumor, at first we laughed, now we just roll our eyes.....it's getting pathetic, really.

[Rattles]

that is why mgs4 will sell

[Gordii]

....
I am gonna be serious for a min.
Why all the hate from Xbox and Sony Fans?
If you dont like a game dont buy it.
The way most of you sound aka fan boys. It's like there is a war going on. Hell if you had this much emotion over 9/11 i could understand but a "GAME" who cares....

[Zhuk]

I dont see why there's hate either, I think it is great that Konami is giving Xbox 360 consumers the chance to play MGS4 on the platform of their choice. Konami wins by making a profit on MGS4 and the consumer wins by having choice, its great for everyone

[LinuxGuru]

Zhuk, your logic, everything you represent and claim defy all possible semblance of reason.

Unfortunately, any of us here are powerless to do anything except stand here and shake our heads in wonder.

Happy 2008, Zhuk.

May you keep us laughing for eternity.

[Rattles]

if your not entrested in the game why post? 20 bucks say if it wer on the 360 you would buy it' and genuine do you think mgs is more over rated than halo?

[GCO Gamer]

Not really MGS looks way better then halo

[Genuine]

Lol, a billion dollars says I don't give a rats a*s if I ever play another MGS or FF. As for your Halo v/s MGS over-rated question. I can tell you straight up that Kojima and the MGS series are severly overated. I think people have forgotten how clumsy the 3rd person fixed camera controls are, how mediocre the voice acting and localisation is, and how asinine the stories Kojima comes up with are.

[Chaos Striker]

Yet millions love the story, the voice acting, and everything related to it. In terms of hype, MGS doesn't go as far as to advertise the game on soda cans, but thats a completely different aspect. Regardless, you are entitled to your opinion but millions of otherwise would think otherwise (including myself).

[Primetimebt]

Thanks to the 360 fanboys Metal Gear Solid keeps getting more, and more hyped every week.

[Bubble Buddy]

even sarcasticgamer.com made a song about halo 3's over hype and overrated.

[pdskep]

GCO,

It may or may not be better than Halo, but unless it gets released on the 360 it has no chance to even come close to its (Halo 3's) sales.

[Alpha_Gamer]

Yeah, they also made a video on how gay home is...so just where are you going with this?
As for halo being overhyped, that`s obvious. No game is worth the hype that it received. Nevertheless, It is still a great game that IMO is better then any other online game on the ps3.

[GunShotEddy]

Maybe if enough Sony fanboys report this story, Konami will stop development and go Sony first-party. ;) Ok, at least that's what it seems like you think.

[ngg12345]

:o. This is so getting through.

[GunShotEddy]

Because the motion-sensing "rumor" on xbox by XF turned out to be true since teamxbox.com stated they'll have all the facts about it being more than tilt on the 2nd. You get a fail for not doing your research and not knowing who has the real info.

[ngg12345]

This is so getting through.

[Rattles]

actully read the post if this is true you lucky 360 fans will actully have something to play in 2009.

[GunShotEddy]

right about the same time PS3 owners get their second AAA title.

[Bladestar]

LOL... this site is primarily a Sony fanboy site... they will never allow this to be approved... true or not... never... lol... but is ok... I'm already having fun... look at fresh and TANOD... suffering a nervous brakedown... reported the article like 5 times each... lol...

SOny, this better not be true... only reason why I would possibly buy a PS3... you better give Konami 50% of your company if you don't want to die! lol.

[GCO Gamer]

Its great to see that you are having fun ( No homo )

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

You were proven wrong quiet quickly Bladestar, In guess that means Sony Loyalist don't dominate these site.

Now look what you did, its increasingly obvious that you are very biased against Sony.

[green]

well after sitting on the fence for an hour decided to also approve this.I have no idea if this is true.But its still news.

[killer_trap]

i would have approved it but I'm not a contributer. it's news from a somewhat reliable source. so why not?

edit: i didn't see the reports before i wrote this........ah well to late. i wrote it anyways. lol

[ngg12345]

They posted alot of garbage like
uncharted is possible on xbox 360
they confirmed ff13 coming to xbox 360 a long time ago
etc.

[killer_trap]

i honestly didn't know that...they actually confirmed ff13!!!!!

i take my words back........

[killer_trap]

i can't wait 12-14 months to play what Kojima claims to be the final chapter in metal gear history. so to me it doesn't matter if it's released on 360.. i'll get it on ps3.

also. why wouldn't konami release the game on 360?..i mean if it's technically possible then why lose millions of 360 customers who don't have a ps3?.

if it's being released 12 months later then that won't affect sony and the ps3. it's a win win situation for everyone. you want to play the game a year early buy a ps3.

[HarryEtTubMan]

HAHA FAKE.

[Genuine]

I would tell Konami and Squenix that if they can't bring their heavy hitters to the 360, then their not bringing sh*t to the 360 because MS is not going to work with them. I wouldn't kiss their used up a*ses.

[supermandead666]

And if i were you, i tell M$ to stand the f@ck out of japan because no one buying their crappy console.

[Genuine]

If it wasn't for the loyal but small fanbase MS has in Japan, I would drop Japan. I know Ubisoft quit sending their games to Japan 3 years ago because any games not made in Japan were put in a section called "foreign" at retailers.

[perseus]

There's no such thing as a foreign section, except for games that are unlocalized. I.E. they aren't in Japanese. What you wrote is untrue.

Edit: And which games did Ubisoft not send to Japan? Because I've played a number of Ubisoft games in the last 3 years. And will be playing more once Assasin's Creed arrives this month.

[Rikitatsu]

XBOXFAMILY LOL

If Konami wants no announce something it won't be for Xboxfamiliy , it would be for bigger crediable sites like IGN ... Stop BS

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

The Bungie leaving MS news broke from a poorly written blog/email.

Hey Mr disagree, it's the truth 100% factolio.

[led1090]

i'm a pc gamer i dont care but sony is gonna be so pissed if this is true.......oh and hey zhuk happy 2008 dude...and the unrivalled 360 hardware that ur talking bout....u must be comparing it with the xbox or the ps2 cause from what i have read on the net the ps3 is better and my pc destroys ur 360...so yeah happy trolling

[GCO Gamer]

I'm just going to say this out loud ps3 and 360 rock

[BLuKhaos]

And I am going to say this even louder,I AGREE!!!!.

[mistertwoturbo]

conveniently the "insider" person is not named. Secondly it came from a xbox website.

Although this is excellent news for MGS4. It just goes to show the interest of the game is beyond the universe. It's even beyond Halo 3. Why is it beyond Halo 3? Because 360 fanboys are actually taking time off from playing Halo 3 online just to post on here about how MGS4 is going to the 360. That's truely sad stuff there.

I don't even think of Jesus came back to earth, "My sons. I am with you now. God is really a black man. Oh yeah, and MGS4 is only on the PS3 5-10 years from now." 360 fanboys would completely disregard God is Black, and immediately say MGS4 is coming to the 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[psychotic_duck]

I mean who cares. We're talking mid-2009 here. For all of us who own a PS3 this means God of War 3, FFXIII and Versus, the new Syphon Filter game, Gran Turismo, The Getaway and the exclusive IPs from Rockstar and Jaffe.

Come on. It doesn't matter. Besides, the thing is probably gonna be a pain in the ass to haul out of Gamestop when it comes out for the 360. It might be really expensive too. I mean do you think they'd sell a 20 disc game for $60. I have my doubts...

Of course this comment is intended to poke fun at all of you who have a 360 out there. I just want to make a point though. I'm not anti-Xbox. I'm anti-Microsoft :) Happy new year all.

[littletad]

"I'm not anti-Xbox. I'm anti-Microsoft"

There's nothing more fun than repeating a quote of stupidity.

[Fragking28]

You and all your other ps3 fanboys r such blatant hypocrites. You guys always toted Mgs$ as the grand daddy of gaming that it will be the savior to the ps3. But now that someone brings out news that it is coming to the 360 ( dont know if true or not but thats not the point) everyone is saying who cares you guys r such full of bullshi*t its not even funny.

[psychotic_duck]

You're really worked up about this aren't you? There are 12 months in a year. MGS4 coming to the 360 in 2009 is like Lost Odyssey coming to the PS3. Who the hell cares. And while I'm not a fanboy, I do think that MGS4 will save the Playstation brand. I hope it does. Why you ask? Cuz I've invested $646.50 in the damned machine. I chose it over the competition for one main reason: Radioactive green and white= Ugly as hell; black and silver on the other hand, goes nicely with my TV.

[littletad]

I seriously doubt this is fully "great" news for 360 fans. It's been in development for the ps3 since the beginning, and I feel it will still be superior on that system. Nevertheless, shocking news for the ps3 faithful if true.

[Avto]

this just in Halo 4 is in development for PS3! and Gran Turismo 6 is a X720 exclusive said some guy to some magazine. Spread the word

[theoneandonly]

The amount of spew and garbage ran out of the mouths from Sony fanboys is terminally ill and despicable, to say the least.

The amount of times Sony fanboys purposefully insult Halo or the Xbox360, is absolutely venomous.

We know based upon the facts that Splinter Cell 5 is another huge 360 exclusive game in 2008 that the Sony defense fanboys are going crazy over.

And we are set to receive also Blue Dragon 2 and Tales of Vesparia next year.

http://sakuraba.cocoebiz.co...

Really, I want to know once and for all what makes Sony fanboys so insecure. What makes them so foolish?

Unlike the Sony fanboys, I can simply sit back and enjoy the console I own with no trouble.

Sony fanboys like to bash the Xbox360 religiously because its their worst nightmare. I played the last of the dreamcast and PC and the Xbox360 is not even remotely similar because it provides everlasting entertainment.

With the Xbox360, I am currently ENJOYING Blue Dragon and Mass Effect. Two awesome RPGs the Playstation 3 will never see. Then, I'm having a good time with Halo 3, Rock Band and Naruto: Rise of a Ninja.

More amazing games that came out this year many of which were exclusive.

And then, in 2008 I am going to greatly enjoy the new Splinter Cell 5 and Alan Wake while I wait for Tales of Vesparia and my new favorite RPG to be released after Devil May Cry 4. Fable 2 will come out after.

Sony fanboys, will meanwhile be crying themselves while they have to wait for Splinter Cell to come out possibly one year later. Or maybe even a re-mixed port, and even then the Splinter Cell experience will be crammed onto at least one blu ray disc.

That's right, Splinter Cell 5 is totally 360 exclusive. At least for now......and that will remain in 2008. With the amazing Too Human franchise already upon us, the 360 is getting more playing time than any console before us.

The 360 is the Playstation's main and severe competition. That is the truth. To underestimate it or to bash Microsoft, is to admit that Sony is weak and vulnerable and deserve to be bashed as well.

Sony should be receiving just as much bashing as Microsoft on here. Sony fanboys are the most insecure idiots I've ever seen. Just because Gears of War and Halo 3, two amazing games that were 360 exclusive came out which are better than nearly all ps3 games, doesn't mean you have to bash all of Microsoft's products or services.

I am proud of the games I am able to play today and now, and truly enjoy the experience of Blue Dragon and so on the same way I enjoy original playstation RPGs. I don't expect this experience to wear off, this is going to be a great year. A great year for the major leagues.

[littletad]

Then again you can only comment once.

[eddierivera]

This is totally a lie,, for one mgs4 is also gonna have Metal Gear Online in one cd. Two games in one. That will take over 30 gigs. They wont beable to fit metal gear on one disc anyways,, so it would be less suited to play on the xbox cause you can only fit 9 gig,, this article is hillarious even if it is true. Also,, Microsoft has plans on making a game supposabley better than metal gear, so i think microsoft needs to get their head straight.

[Guwapo77]

Because a game doesn't fit on one disk doesn't mean a thing on the Xbox. Seriously, this is one of the lamest defenses possible...sits just a lame as changing the HDD in the PS3 will void your warranty.

Lost Odyssey - 4 Disks
Blue Dragon - 3 Disks

If they transfer it over it will have multi disks. But would that matter?

* Disagree? Why? The amount of disk don't matter in it getting ported over. If you believe I'm a X360 fanboy or something trolling... get over yourselves, just stating the facts. Be it one disk or fifty disks...really it doesn't matter. True nobody would want to deal with 50 disks but hey if you want to play something bad enough.

[undacovabrothe]

I think this was the most pathetic atempt made by the xbox fanbase... I mean cmon that is like psu.com saying that halo gears 2 will be on ps3 after a year. WONT HAPPEN NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER NVER EVER! I mean get it through all your thick ass ranting skulls MGS NOR FF WILL EVER RELEASE ON XBOX360 NEVER... SHYT fukn article doesnt even have a reliable source and u xbots going to sit there and act lik dis shyt tru. Dis shows how pathetic u guys are it will be more funny when they announce again that it exclusive and will stay exclusive and try to take some annoynmous rumor over some hard facts. That : MGS IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING PLAYED ON THE 360 I REPEAT THE 360 IS OBSOLETE.

[trunker]

firstly a website doesn't represent the entire xbox fanbase

and the reason halo/gears2 may not be on the ps3 is cos sony wouldn't want it after MS has killed the hype

"I mean get it through all your thick ass ranting skulls MGS NOR FF WILL EVER RELEASE ON XBOX360 NEVER"

jeez dude - how old could you possibly be? I understand blind fanboyism but c'mon KONAMI published MGS solid 2 on xbox and Silicon updated an MGS port for the Gamecube??? yeah long after the original - same with GTA3 but the point is as long as Sony dont own konami or MS dont own bungie/epic they CANNOT own their intellectual property

the reason timed exclusives dont cross over easily is cos the hype is usually gone and it's hard to generate interest and sales - get a clue mate.

"MGS IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING PLAYED ON THE 360 I REPEAT THE 360 IS OBSOLETE"

the gamecube and the xbox played their MGS counterparts just fine the 360 will do just fine.

[AliC]

Not this crap again.

[WeaseL]

Could be released only on the 360 Ultimate Edition with the built in HD-DUD drive to force people to upgrade. This I could believe coming from M$

[chfthnder26]

i honestly would like to know y it is that u call hddvd hddud is it because all hddvd players come with an ethernet port to download extra features and other stuff off of the studios website or is it cuz all the so called new features that blu ray is trying to get to work in the movie titles r the standards for all hd dvd titles from day 1 oh no i got it its because your a blind sony supporter that believes everything sony says instead of doing your own research to find out which product is right for you, just wondering which one of these u r

[Guwapo77]

Holy hell...that has to be the longest run-on sentence I've ever scene. I can't talk, as I love the run-on, but got dayum, you win the prize.

[psychotic_duck]

Touchy. Still, I stand by what I say. Microsoft is pathetic. Zune, Vista, WinCE... etc. You have to admit, Microsoft has a lot of failures to their name. The only reason it is still around is because they have a monopoly. Once that is over the company will fizzle out of existence. Good riddance.

[Nik]

It sad that some, if not many 360 owners just want to game ported to screw PS3/Sony, and not actually like the game, since I have seen them bashing it. As for PS3 owners, who cares if it'll be ported? You still get to play it.

[Rikitatsu]

You Xbox Owners have you own Library of Exclusives, Why Do you want To take PS3 Exclusives too ?, I Bought a 500$ Console for MGS4 and now its going to 360! that will hurt every PS3 owner out there , not me only ... Xbox owners should realize they have exclusives for their own and stop asking for MGS4 , its PS3 Exclusive !!! why should i Believe Xbox family ? and don't believe Ryan Payton and Kojima-san ?!!!!!!!

[ParaDise_LosT]

Its about nuking and mutilating its cold rotting body

[Kareshi_X]

Whats The Use If The Game Comes Out 12 to 14months After The Ps3 Version? by That Time Every One Will have Ended The Game In The 3Main Difficulties Even If They Don't Own A Ps3.

[mrguru]

same rumors

[undacovabrothe]

They really need to filter the garbage news this site put out

[cr33ping_death]

damn what a way to start 2008....with lies. cant wait till the story about how its not coming out on 360 hits. and what a coincidence that this major news is out on a 360 fanboy site and on the 1st of the year by some unamed source and not kojima, again wow.

[Prismo_Fillusion]

I can't believe this got approved.

Well...I can believe it, but it's sad.

This is blatantly not true, worse than SurferGirl's crap.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I would like to believe this article to be true. Maybe someday it will happen, but until then, I will believe nothing until it's confirmed by Konami. At this point, I couldn't really care. I would love to see it happen, but won't hold my breath. When it comes to great exclusives the 360 definitely has the long end of the stick by far. One AAA title eluding the 360 won't hurt that much.

This article should have had a question mark at the end of the title.

[kamakazi]

xbox family........LOL oh my god this gets funnier and funnier.

[Rikitatsu]

Sigh

[yowoe]

No way this will happen man.

Kojima said that Konami is telling everyone that if they want to play MGS4, they will need a PS3. And that has to be true!

[chrno6]

LOL @ the source: xbox family. Right, a konami rep would say such irresponsible thing to a xbox dedicated site.

[Bullseye]

i really don't think this will have any serious impact either way.Maybe to MGS fans, but that's about it.MGS4 will not be that popular on the 360,i'm sure of that much.

[radzy]

too bad

[Cartesian3D]

they want to attract some visitors .. and get some ads for their bills..

[Splitz]

LiEs, LiEs and LiEs.

OMG1337%%%%%

[Grado SR-60]

First off, I have never played a mgs game. That I need to say off the bat. Secondly, I own a ps3 and a pc with a 7800 gtx + 1 gb of ram + 3.0 ghz processor, (already outdated lol). I could not be happier for konami and my fellow 360 gamers for receiving what could be an exceptional title. The beauty of my pc is that it is current enough to be able to play all of the next gen console games (this is a fact) on the PC platform (mass effect, halo 1+2, Gears of War + Plus all the games that have made the pc my favorite platform and have made me the gamer that i am, Starcraft, HL2, CSS, Stalker, Splinter Cell, FEAR is tha sh!t and is BEST ON PC, Flight Simulator (your not a gamer unless you can land a 747 at Chicago in ugly conditions) and with the ps3 i retain all of the games that will be developed for such a flexible and EXTREMELY POWERFUL platform. CELL + RSX (7900)+ Blu Ray (50 gb)will result in games that will be a pleasure to the brain to play and to be apart of. (LOL IF and if is a big word, if it is financially tolerable for these game to exist) BAD and I mean BAD software attach rate with the ps3 does not help 3rd party developers enthusiasm towards the platform. I guess what I'm trying to say is that despite my preferences regarding platform type I could not be happier for MORE people to be able to experience MGS4.

EDIT: I retract that my pc can play all next gen console games. CELL>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>3.0 ghz P4. Cell is the future, multi-core coding is the future, get used to it

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

This site is soo damn reliable. Like come on is Xboxfamily.com, they can't be lying to get hits....right?

Oh yeah by the way I recently heard that Sony defense group or whatever its called confirmed the ps3 version of Ninja Giaden 2.

Zhuk quote
""" Team Ninja can't resist the PS3s unrivaled hardware and its dominating software sales.

NG2 will probably be one of the most expensive games in history, Team Ninja has every right to recoup their investment, which wont happen with the Xbox 360"""

Note the sarcasm.........

[Swatfish]

...but this is only a rumor like every newsstory on xbots websites.

[Cartesian3D]

the_round_peg needs some point.. and XBOX360familyFTW.com or sonydefenceforceFOREVER.org are the best sites for finding rumors.. no offence.. they give 500$ to first place ...

[Swatfish]

...but this is only a rumor like every newsstory on xbots websites.

[carl ps3]

Don't bother me!!!;-D
Wonder how many DVD's it will be on!!!;-D
+How many xBox360's will xBox fans go thru until they get this game!!!
;-D
HOPE PS3 KILLS xBox360'$$$ THIS YEAR!!!;-P
(Sorry i'm acting childish, like most people on these sites!!!)
:-/

[skagrerrrr]

to all you TROLLS out there!

[Ri0tSquad]

Just have to wait and find out if its true!

Regardless if this game comes out on PC....I'm still buying it for PS3.

[NinjaRyu]

Then for the sake of what left the of News For Gamers(Fanboys) I hope MGS4 doesn't come to the 360 otherwise this site gonna get shutdown from the Big A$$ Flame War it will have.

[Strife Lives]

Cuz i love the mgs series and mgs and final fantasy is the reason im buying a ps3.i also dnt believe that bs about disc space cuz omg Mass Effect is huge ! Its nt on 360 cuz they just dnt want it there. There may be some truth to this but the source of it I just dnt trust

[OsolidOsnakeO]

(((((Metal Gear Solid will be released for the Xbox 360 between 12 to 14 months after the PS3 version hits shelves))))))......Can any one belief that!!!!...AFTER ONE YEAR OF BIENG PLAYABLE ON THE PS3! WHO IS GOING TO WAIT TILL THE 360 VERSION IS RELEASED. FFFFAKKKKKE.

[name]

Jesus christ would you people get a life. If you want to play the damn game just buy a Ps3. If I wanted to play bioshock I'd buy a 360, can't you just have that kind of respect? Why is it that everyone can have exclusives except the ps3? What are you afraid of?

[Daz]

Going to start a petition now lol :/

[MaximusPrime]

"XboxFamily.com claims"

lol. I love internet rumours and it turns out to be fake.
What a way to start a new year...

[DiabloRising]

Seriously. I'm not saying a port isn't possible, but who actually believes this obvious site hit bull****?? I mean really now? A DISTRIBUTION REP? A secret DISTRIBUTION MEETING? Unnamed sources, no direct quote?

And MS giving such a response? Wouldn't happen. MS does not comment on rumors and speculation. But hey, if this makes you guys feel better, by all means... but dear god is this a sad excuse for a fake article.

[kingboy]

We fought for Bioshock posting all sort of tangible rumors & possible leaks, at the end had nothing

[Fighter]

Kojima himself must confirm this rumor or else it's fake.

[undacovabrothe]

MGS IS NOT PLAYABLE ON THE 360 and for people who saying mass effect is big LOL... Final Fantasy 10/10-2 is probably bigger than mass effect. 2nd THE FUKN KONAMI REP SAID WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH MGS FOR PS3 IS NOT CAPABLE I REPEAT IS NOT CAPABLE ON THE 360 w.o either A. Watering it down and B. Going through HUGE amounts of trouble find tricky ways to code da same things that the ps3 is doing. Also if da dam xbots actually read this stupid article no where in there did it mention a release on 360 YET ALONE a span of a year or so release after the ps3 all rumor and speculation 360 fanboys need to just stik with there halo and pray to god everyday that they dont get 3rod.

[WIIIS1]

At the end of the day, all independent developers will look at software sales figures. This news is no surprise. Now looking at Square Enix...

[bettyswollocks]

Why does this upset you all so much? IF MGS4 were ever to go to the Xbox360 then more people would play it overall, and good luck to them. They'll get the chance to play what may be one of the best titles of the year - where's the harm? I bet some of you shouting the loudest signed the petition to stop DMC4 on the Xbox as well.

Does the thought of a PS3 "exclusive" coming out on the Xbox really threaten Sony's fans that much? All these comments illustrate is that you are scared, and you see losing exclusives as the PS3 losing its supremacy in the market.

This is not a bad thing, despite any blind and emotional ties to the brand that you may have. Do you argue over toothpaste this much?

There is a cycle to the videogames market, and once dominant players get relegated to also rans. Look at Nintendo. This is just the way it works and will no doubt continue to work until some change in the market. I think what scares most fanboys is that the PS3 will go the way of the Dreamcast and then what will they do? Will they stop playing because its not Playstation? Is that what Dreamcast owners did? Any here we can ask?

Most will still be playing games, I am.

[DiabloRising]

I find it far more amusing that Xbots would go the lengths to create fake stories about the game coming out on their console for site hits. Does the 360 lack that many good exclusives that its fanbase needs to fabricate stories about PS3 ones just to feel good about themselves? Does it annoy you that the game is still a PS3 exclusive just as its always been? Does the fact that the PS3 can actually do well as a system make you sit up at night crying?

God, you fanboys need to grow the hell up. Everyone is so bitter towards one another, and frankly its pathetic. Oh noes, I own and prefer the PS3! I guess I should be bashed and mocked and made fun of. Oh dear!

Get a life.

[Daz]

Yes you prefer the ps3 your opinion i respect that but calling someone a xbot shows you having no life to sart calling people names over games/console lol.
Some people go to far i think and takes things for granted like this artical, not true until the developers says its true.
.

[3292k4]

oh come on obviously this is false coming from a site that said the blue print for the motion sensing xbox controller

[MaximusPrime]

here is a proposed box for xbox 360

[Daz]

Funny lol but we both know it wont be no where near that bad if this comes true unless your in denial?.
Im not bothered what happens because i be getting for ps3 anyway. so i get to enjoy it and maybe alot of other people as well.

[Pika-pie]

Wow, its been a long time since we have seen an article like this.

There is no name, no source and no back up to this article??

Its not going to happen, there is no way Sony would let its biggest hitter or 2008 go multi. As if they did, they would be seriously f***ed.

360 fans should just by themselves a PS3 if they want to play the game so badly.

[MaximusPrime]

totally agree.

2008 will be a great year for Sony so get a PS3 if you desperate for MGS4

[BlackCountryBob]

erm why should I really care? The game will still come to the PS3 and now 360 gamers will get the chance to play what could be a great game in 2009.

All this talk of exclusive is kinda daft, why should I get angry or complain that a PS3 game that will be over a year old at that time will come out on a different format, I am glad that another 15-20m gamers will get the opportunity to play this game rather than for it to just languish on the PS3 shelves forgotten by most gamers who will have bought, completed and traded it away many moons previous.

Sounds like common sense business practice from Konami and I applaud them for it.

[belal]

wow so many discs looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ool, not going to happen looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ool

PS3

[The Dark Knight]

i dont know why you say 08 is sonys year when Microsoft havent even announced there line up yet lol. sony are the desperate ones announcing games that wont be out till 09 ,

just wait and see sony gayboys

[THE TERMINATOR]

Listen XTWATS when a game goes multi then its no longer taking advantage of a particular hardware thats what pisses me off. If MGS4 were ever to go to the xbox (which is highly unlikely) then the developers would have to downgrade the Ps3 version and thats what annoys us PS3 owners. You only have to look at GTA4 to see what I mean, if that game was a PS3 exclusive then the graphics would have been a hell of alot better. Anyway this rumour is pure BS there is no way MGS4 could be done on the 360.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

What nerds its facking new year and they start coming up with BS

[aaquib5]

But I could really care less as a PS3 owner. Think, for 12-14 months we'll be playing Kojima's masterpiece and than the XBOTS will finally get it just to realize that its on 3 discs and it crashes their console. 360 owners want this game so desperately just to say that they have it on their console that even if Konami puts in a blank DVD in an MGS4 box, 360 owners will be so blind and stupid, and buy it. I am pretty confident, though, that it will go to 360. Konami needs to make their money back and maximize their profits, so they'll dump it on 3 discs, downgrade it for 360 hardware, and shove it down the XBOTS in late 2009. So, go ahead XBOTS, take MGS4. But, you'll take it a year later and it'll $uck...Just like everyother game on your console.

PLAY B3YOND.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - ONLY ON PLAYSTATION 3 in 2008

Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5: Prolouge, LittleBigPlanet, Socom: Conferentation, Final Fantasy 13.

This is Living.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Kojima himself begged sony for a 50GB Blu-Ray so he can fit the game.

[Mikelarry]

gaming was about everyone having a good time and caring less about exclusives and what not. who cares if mgs goes to the 360 its not gonna hinder my enjoyment of the game. lost planet went to the ps3 does not mean i didnt enjoy it wen i got it for the 360 or assassins creed on my ps3. my point is gamers should let the companies do the battle and let us consumers enjoy the fruits of them trying to please us. GAME ON

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

as Kojima stats. Multiplat will reduce the quality of the game to fit the limitations of every console

[Daz]

Yes but then again 12 months difference is alot of time to change the game. unlike same day release which will look practilly the same as each other.

[heyheyhey]

at first i was like "ZOMG THIS MIGHT BE TRUE" but then i noticed the soruce- thats right xbox family lol and we all know how desperate they are to play our beloved one- well sorry you wont and here are the reasons why(in order of importance):

1) hideo kojima- he has stated many times that he refuses to develop a 360 version because it would mean reducing the games quality, also he has a lifelong alleigance with sony and has never made a game for anything but a sony console (aside form mgs2 on xbox but that was a port and he wasnt involved with that)

2)sixaxis- the game uses several sixaxis functions such as controlling the cute metal gear mk 2 and peaking around corners

3)blu-ray- thats right it wont fit on a dvd disk and im not sure whether konami can be bothered to fiddle about with multiple disks (at least three for such a beast of a game)

4)sony- mgs4 is sony's main focus point and they wont let it come to any other console as long as they live

5)cell- while the 360 probably could run it, it would'nt run nearly as smoothly because its being built from the ground up for the cell and it would have to be downgraded to run on the puny little xenon

6)if you havnt yet realised konami dont really need a 360 release to mae a profit since at least 60% of existing ps3 owners will buy the game on launch, more will convert to it later on and thousands more will buy the ps3 just to play mgs4 (i know at least 5 such people) and sony is feeding them money to keep it exclusive

[whoelse]

This is just an Xbox Fanboy site trying to stir something up in the new year that they WANT to be true.

A Microsoft PR Manager would never give such a response like that as well.

[PopEmUp]

Gear and Halo are coming to the wii

[Daz]

wii sports to 360/ps3 :/
gt5 and mgs to wii
mass effect to psp
gtaIV to gameboy advanced

Warning this might offend some people but its all good fun and happy new year lol.

[TwissT]

Bioshock is coming to N-gage!!! I can't wait!!

[predator]

cool if true, i shall get it for the ps3 then when the 360 version hits get that for the achevements

[MaximusPrime]

im sure PS3 version of achievement will come before the "rumoured" release date of xbox 360 version.

[Mercutio]

Seems like there is hope after all.

I can see your friends had tricked you into getting one, they must have been like:

"Dude, MGS 4 is soo gonna go mulitplat... just get a 360 its cheaper!"

WWROOOOOOOO000000000000000NNN NNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol @ disagree given to aaquib5, why would anyone do that?
cowards!

[aaquib5]

By that time they'll have FF13, KZ2, GTA4, LBP, SOCOM, and so many more to justify the cost of the PS3.

[goodgameslover]

Why are people making such a fuss about this?
If it happens it wouldn't surprise me because MGS2 and 3 all came to the original xbox. with a delay of indeed about a year.
And the creator of MGS4 said in a interview that a version for the 360 was perfectly possible on its hardware and even on the dvdformat.
But at the time (interview is more then 1 year old) was not a priority.
So he never said then it wouldn't happen, but was not a priority and not an definite no like some people are screaming now.
I have all the consoles so for me it doesn't matter wich version i will get i can choose if it happens.
I only hope it will be as good or maybe even better then part 3, but i hope it will not be in the vein of the very dissapointing part 2 wich was a dissapointment in every way.

[MrWonderful]

you my friend are stupid!!! MGS3 never came to xbox. and MGS4 will not unless M$ pays a crap load of money because they have no more games coming out for their system. whats next mario and zelda on 360.

[PirateThom]

"XboxFamily.com claims..."

That's where I stopped reading.

Face it, 360 has nothing next year and now they need to leech of PS3 games with another rumour about Metal Gear Solid 4.

A Microsoft PR guy isn't going to come out and actively say "Yeah, the biggest game of this year isn't on our system", hence the bull and "no comment" in a effort to creat confusion.

Accept it, Ryan Peyton, Peter Moore when he was working for Microsoft Konami, Kojima and Sony have all said no to 360. I'd take their word of an XBox fansite anyday.

[JokesOnYou]

I'm 100% positive MGS4 is coming to the 360 eventually, Konami has already been crying enough about its dev costs that I can see the writing on the wall, which I've said before, its going to the 360, only fanboism would lead you to believe otherwise, but damm! I'm sick and tired of hearing about this fcking game, its good game, but damm its not that good, I'd like to play it but there's plenty more games on the 360 that I'm looking forward to, hell I just wish micro would focus on telling me when the fck Alan Wake will be released???, now that would get me excited.

JOY

[Thursday]

It's "fanboyism" to believe the publisher and the developer? Comments like yours puzzle me, to say the least.

[craymoogy]

sure it will come to 360. why not show me the email?

[goodgameslover]

What makes you think that the 360 will have nothing next year?
On the exclusive site it will have Alan Wake, Ninja gaiden 2, Fable 2, GoW2, Halo wars the new banjo kazooie, lost odyssey to name the ones i can think right now.
Not to mention the many multi like GTAIV and RE5 so i don't see why 360 owners should worry for next year.
Like i mentioned earlier the 360 and the ps3 are BOTH going to have really good 2008. So fanboys of both side accept this and stop shouting this utterly noncense!

[PirateThom]

Alan Wake and Fable 2 are the only games I'm buying for 360 next year.

All the multiplatform games, I'll get on PS3.

Basically, 360 has two games I'm buying verses a rather large number on PS3.

[AllroundGamer]

omg such a stupid rumor on the beginning of the new year... really sad, 2008 will be probably a year of even more rumors made by very stupid fanboys... (and i see like 5 of them approving this story)

[Niclas]

tbh only idiots think this is gonna come true ..
1: Like Sony would EVER alov one of their best exclusives, system sellers and only chances of getting back in the war, come out on the 360 LOL
2: omfg this news is from xboxfamily.com ^^ its just as f*cking reliable as the (Cant remember the name ;P) PS3 magazine posting Bioshock was confirmet for PS3, they even had f*cking pictures of it ? and it still wasnt true ?

Ffs .. if u wanna play MSG4 .. BUY A PS3......... lol

[Fighter]

MGS 4 on the 360 on 7 DVDs.

[punisher2k8]

as you all can see, the xbots have no life. only living in dreams. and that dream is CRAPBOX360. X360 SUCK'S!!!! put that in that little peanut brain of your's

[GameHero]

Talk about a game thats over-hyped try HALO-3 er...uh..Halo 2.5, How dare you say MGS4 is overhyped! The reason because of all the HYPE is because Miscroslaves (like yourself) keep posting rumors about it coming to that broken down 360! MGS4 IS A KILLER APP! A TRIPLE A SONY title! There will be HyPE!

[Samer305]

That was a great comment only because of that fact that its true.

[moujahed]

PS3 has officially fallen off!!!! This is the only reason why I purchased a PS3, now what am I gonna do!!!! 500plus just for an exclusive game that's no longer exclusive... WTF am I gonna do now!!! PLAY HOME???!!!!!

Please, even if this does come to the XboX360 it won't be the same as it will be for the PS3. Hideo Kojima said it himself, the PS3 is capable of creating the game he desires. No other system cam produce what he wants the way Sony's PS3 can.

PS3 = 1 disc full of content, install game for no load times MGO2

360= hella DVD9's, plus content you will have to pay to download in order to experience the game. Hella Load times... and better hope your XBL doesnt shut down cause that means no MGO2 for you.

[Lucreto]

14 months? lol It is MGS2 all over again.

Even the most devout and patient xbot can't bury their head in the sand for that long.

All the people who say PS3 is for waiters and 360 for gamers will mostly buy a PS3 now.

[ScottEFresh]

Don't believe it...more xbot propaganda.

[Mercutio]

The Ryan Payton(producer) even said this:

"If you want to play MGS4 you should buy a Ps3"

It's jsut XBots trying to make hype....sad people they are,.... I guesss HALO was too crap to keep playing... sh!t trads...

[moujahed]

So I can go back to waiting for this... cause XboX360 players know we got not games, we play nothing, all we do is surf the net, watch movies, and listen to music on our PS3's untill MGS4 comes out.

It sucks how 360 fans supposedly have all of the games, and the best hardware, yet they constantly find the time to Bash anything PS3 related, I would say go play Halo3, but XBL is down....

[BigPappaPump]

I'll believe it when I see it. By then, I won't care because I'd end it 12-14 months earlier plus I wouldn't put my Xplode under such stress handling MGS4.

[sharkraiden]

8uz8

[tk]

Would it mean that it would be less enjoyable on the PS3 if it comes out for XB360? No...

Like previous MGS series, it will most probably make the jump to other platforms 12-18 months after PS3 release. Give the people a break... they need to make money. The PS3 is doing fine. If it does not make it to the XB360, then... so what. If it does... it is not going to make me buy a machine that is likely to RRoD... besides... I like Sony products. I have over 15 games now... got Assassins Creed and GRAW2 2nd hand (and with Blu Ray disks... it means like new). The PS3 is on the whole day.

Just make it good on the PS3 and I will pick this title up. Stop making a war out of things like this. Chances are anyway that most titles except 1st party titles will likely be timed exclusives. You might need 3 DVD's to fit it on the XB360 - but so what. Just enjoy the toys boys.

[Reibooi]

To be honest I don't trust this. Until I see a name or a press release from Konami themselves I'm treating this as rumor. Kojima himself said many many times it would not be coming to Xbox 360 unless he was hiding it as a surprise. And at the end of the day even if this is true I highly doubt it will effect the PS3 as 12-14 months is a very long time to wait if you want to play MGS4.

[sharkraiden]

MICROSOFT YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS Krátos jön és elbánik veletek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
YOU BULLSHIT MICROSOFT

[Bathyj]

Shouldn't this article say, rumour or ? or this is just wishful thinking bullsh*t by people who cant accept they dont own all the good games?

[Dmack79]

xbots listen up!

MGS4 WILL NOT, I REPEAT WILL NOT COME TO YOUR 360 ANYTIME WITHIN THE 2008 OR 2009.

Besides I remember hearing from g4's Thefeed, that even if Kojima and Konami was going to make a 360 version, that it would NOT be as good as the PS3 version.

PS3 is first and foremost to them when it comes to developing games. And they love the power of the PS3. Also Sony and Kojima have a great business relationship and friendship.

[Samer305]

I do not believe it until I see it. Because konami many times stated if you want to play this game you are going to need a PS3. If it is true sony is in trouble. But the guy supposedly said 12-14 months after. So that means what june - august of 09? why wait that long.

[Eamon]

It may just be a second version of the game coming to the 360 like how Substance came on Xbox.

Although, this isn't an "official confirmation" the most we can call this is a "Giant Rumour."

But, I think Konami would make it on 360 but maybe like after the PS3 version's exclusivity runs out (which is like a year). The reason I think they would do it is due to the large demand. They could make a lot more money if it would be multiplatform.

[Meus Renaissance]

So could Mass Effect and Bioshock...

[Lucreto]

But people are overlooking MGS4 will have a whole year sales and may convert 360 fans to PS3 and may not sell well. MS would really need to plug that massive gap to hold 360 fans until that time.

[Meus Renaissance]

Anything to get hits. Personally I'll believe Sony, Konami, Kojima and Ryan Payton (Producer) over dodgy Xbox websites with peculiar sources. And this article is kinda misleading anyway. Usually we see Metal Gear going multiplatform a few years after release on the PlayStation, I wouldn't be shocked to see a Metal Gear game down the line for the 360 if the interest is still as strong as it is now, but MGS4 is an exclusive to the PlayStation 3, for atleast..18months and in this console war, that's an eternity.

[Eamon]

Mass Effect has more of a chance of being multi than Bioshock

But seriously, you are saying you'd rather believe Sony, Konami, Kojima etc... but if they are told not to give any info about the 360 version then that means when you ask them and they said no they "lied?"

Listen they are all human beings not god so their word isn't perfect or final. Just like how Peter Jackson was banned from making The Hobbit and was told that he will never direct The Hobbit but then they changed their mind and now he's back as Director for The Hobbit.

[PirateThom]

Actually, Jackson's not directing, he's producing.

[Meus Renaissance]

1. I would not be surprised if there was a Metal Gear game for the 360. But this one is exclusive for a long period at least, which is good enough.

2. The whole idea of this being multiplatform and released e.g. 6 months after the PS3 version is based on the idea that the PS3 version would hardly sell or not be a massive seller. Massive assumption. It will sell very well. If it doesn't, then I'd support the idea of it going multiplatform.

3. This isn't just a word. Sony, Konami, Kojima - all grilled on this subject several times and the answer has always been the same. Recently Payton, the producer of the game, has been asked this question several times in all of his interviews, and its always the same answer. He laughs about it and explains why its a PS3 exclusive.

But come on, this is nothing different than we've known since the start. It's getting boring now. If the rumour comes back up again, we need new credible information

[Salvadore]

I wouldn't be suprised if this turned out to be true because alot of money has been spent on MSG4.

[mistertwoturbo]

The 360 will probably get a MGS4: Substance 1, MGS4: Substance 2, and MGS4: Substance 3. It's broken down into 3 different games because microsoft wants to maximize profits and told Konami to just put MGS4: Substance 1 as the ending of the game. Substance 2 as the beginning of the game, and Substance 3 as the middle of the game and charge $59.99 each.

360 gamers will buy each and every single disc full price! And Microsoft knows it. =)

[FCOLitsjustagame]

"a Konami distribution representative said that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to the Xbox 360..."

A japanese government official confirms the existance of UFOs also. So, but, therefore?

Why do people get so worked up about such things?

[BigPappaPump]

So let's say that this news is true, why should PS3 owners care for a year old game by then while they're playing NEWER games like Noir and Rockstar's unnamed IP?

[Eamon]

PS3 owners' points if they complain why is 360 getting all their exclusives.

It would be like paying so much money only to have find out you could have paid less.
I also understand the points of owners who say if it goes multi then MGS4 might not be as good as it might have been.

But you guys need reality check as the games industry isn't there to satisfy the commnunity. Its there to make money of us.

[TwissT]

FLAMMABLE, COMBUSTABLE, NUCLEAR, ATOM SPLITTING FUEL TO THE FLAME WAR!!!

[Meus Renaissance]

Why are those who are eating this as fact, accepting the idea that MGS4 will flop in sales? And then they say, even if it does sell loads, Konami will still want it mulitplatform. Why though? Cos it can make more money that way. But so can any other game - release Halo 3, or Mario on every platform and you're guaranteed more profits, so what kind of logic is this..

[Mercutio]

and this proves that point...

'08 HAS BEGUN... Get ready because this video shows your future!

it is inevitable!

Punishment is Upon you!

[Strife Lives]

Hideo likes money. He likes money so much that if he doesnt sell enough to make a profit he wil port it. this game DOES NOT have the hype Halo 3 had. Halo 3 was on CNN and the comecials,wow,was like the 2nd coming. And H3 was cool,dnt care what people say. In fact,if my 360 didnt screw my H3 up last week I'd be playing it nw. Anyways,H3 sold 5 million copies, unless this sells 4 mill at least.. We'll see it on 360. Yay for any1 that doesnt want a blu ray player. Oh. And Happy New Year everybody. 2008. Year of Gow2..hopefully.and, oh. Mgs4

[PStriple703]

This is supid, I mean get real look at the source lol

[Voozi]

Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to Wii, Kojima told me last night when he was over my house for New Years Eve

[mustang00gt]

this is bs because it is a rumor being released on a holiday when no one can dispute it.

[Kugar77]

cmon 12-14 months later? no once wants to play a 12-14 month old game unless they're a true mgs fans (360mg fans do exist i think). i own a ps3 and im still hoping this doesn't happen but taking a step back, you can see that not many 360 fans would buy it (also based on the discussion(s) at hand ^^^) so it sucks but ps3 owners will get over it if its true.

[CrazzyMan]

BUT rumors about MGS4 don`t die.

You really want to PLAY MGS4? Buy PS3.
OR YOU gonna WAIT 12-14 month for x360 release? Then all thing about "WAIT B3YOND" IS Ruined, do YOU understand THAT? =))))

[solsub]

So true...

[Xbox is the BEST]

MGS sales have been in the decline each installment.

[undacovabrothe]

idk why there is even a hint about mgs not selling well... IF THEY MAKE A GOOD GAME IT WILL SELL PROB MORE DAN HALO ON ITS FIRST DAY. If they would take out NA sales for day 1 it probably match wat halo sold. MGS is too supported globally for it not to sell as its others did.

[Says you]

Got one problem most of those games are from PS3 and the rest are multiplatform considering the system that breaks alot! has no real exclusives except for a few and oh why would any body buy this game on a system that is only a DVD player that breaks alot!?

Hatchetforce many PS3 fans would rather play there game rather then play XBox 360 games and would prefer Russian roulette.

[Rexysgod]

Ps3=mercedes xbox 360= Ford Contour Wii= Geo metro.
Be Smart!! Choose wisely.

[blade206]

i talked to people i know that work at m$ and it's a lie there is something but i can't say right now but it's not major

[lodossrage]

First of all, that isn't even a PROFESSIONAL letter. Anyone that knows business knows how a business letter is written.

Secondly, how many more times must this be confirmed exclusive by KONAMI REPRESENTATIVES. And I'm talking about them ACTUALLY saying it. Not some user-made up letter like this article.

Third, this is an xbox fansite. Not ign, not gamespot, not any other valid source for info.

In fact, the fact that this news is ONLY on an xbox site is a heads up that this is faked.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Rumor would have looked better without the MS rep response

[Vip3r]

A new year, a new load of BS.

[Darkiewonder]

2008 is really 2007 + another year. Nothing has changed ;3

[scrillakiller]

2008 is here people.the year of ps3.just glad i made it here.cant wait for all the big games to beginrolling out

[stuntman_mike]

unless its from kojimas lips, you cant believe anything.

[felidae]

if .. ok.

but ... never!

lol

[GITPWNED]

The fact that you Sony droid f*ckers actually believe that MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive truly baffles me. It also explains quite a bit. How does that d1ck taste? How does it feel up the ass? How thick is it? Is it more of a length or width-based "pleasure"? All very serious questions.

"If you want to play MGS4 in '08, you need to buy a PS3, because in '09 it will be on 360."

LMFAO. Dumbass droids.

[conorgill14]

im waiting for an official press release before i beleive any of this

[jcgamer]

so what console will I be playing it on? I think we all know the answer to that...game on...

[Whoooop]

Another MGS4 rumor by desperate bots....

2008 line up not looking very bright ehh??? begging for PS3 only games to try and stay afloat this new year uhh??

haha xbots are priceless .... well we can't blame them.

:)

[mintaro]

so.....is this actually true?

[IamTheStorm81]

I love when people take rumored confirmation as true confirmation. How many times does Konami have to say it's a PS3 exclusive before people start believing it?

Even on the new PS3 commercial that shows MGS, look at the bottom left corner during the spot. It says "PS3 exclusives". Do you think Konami would let Sony do that and do you think Sony would pay to do that if it wasn't an exclusive. Geez...

Of course it's not unheard of for a developer to lie but lets just end this speculation. MGS4 is a Playstation 3 exclusive. Simple as that. *IF* that changes then you need to wait for an official press release from Konami before it's confirmed, unlike sites that swear it's confirmed.

[hotshot127]

ARHGHHGHGHGH!................. ............NOT.

havent we seen rumours like this before? with titles like

"CONFIRMED, MGS4 COMING TO THE 360"
MGS4 SLATED FOR 360" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

its getting rather irritating to be honest. now all of a sudden everyone believes it? sighs. why did ryan payton just a month ago say that without bluray this game isnt possible?hmmmmmm

or it cost to much to stay on ps3? is it THAT HARD TO BELIEVE SONY COULD HAVE PAID THEM? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

dont get all riled up over this bullcrap.

withen a couple of days, konami and ryan or kojima will denounce this again.

so do you guys think that after a whole year of denying rumours, KONAMI just gets up and says to some random xbox site that yea the 360 version is coming so simply and just goes back to sleep like nothing happened?

MAYBE..........JUST MAYBE, KONAMI DIDNT WASNT SAYING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BUILD UP THE HYPE FOR THIS GAME.

you people are pathectic and gullable.

there have been NUMEROUS sites that have said this and now all of a sudden today, some of you believer THIS ONE....................how sad?

anyway, i know this is fake and i cant wait till it gets shut down so i can find all the 360 fanboys and rub it in there face.

ADIOS

[Clinton514]

But I'll say this, it's funny to see all the people who've been sh/t talking MGS4 become turncoats after they hear rumors.

Fan kid clowns.

[captainpwn]

You mean like the idiot who runs killzoneunit.com?

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Dream on!

Funny how proven Xbots approved this bullcrap

[TANOD]

published this thread

PEOPLE REPORT the user and the STORY

RP/Bloodmask/Tns must be stopped from SPAMMING n4G

[gnothe1]

you guys forgot that konami said they needed to sell 1 million copies 1st day,FIRST DAY, not over the first week, FIRST DAY in order to recoup looses, an you guys know thats not gonna happen.

a few months ago in game informer magazine page 22 at the bottom the UK konami president said to the UK MS boss that HEY MAYBE THE PS3 ISNT THE SYSTEM FOR US.

if they announce a 360 version of MGS4 now it would only hurt the sales of the PS3. they know there alot of people that wants a PS3 for MGS4,why buy a PS3 if i can get the game on the 360. doing that would strangle off the PS3 userbase which in return would hurt konami sales on future titles on the PS3.

kojima had stated that developing MGS4 for the 360 would in no way hurt the development of the PS3 version, my question is how would they know that unless they had been doing something along the lines like EXPERIMENTING with a 360 version. http://play.tm/story/7049

the differance between bioshock an mass effect is MS is PUBLISHING these games, meaning there fronting some of the development bill, sony is not doing this with MGS4, so they have NO say in what konami does with this game usless they BUY the full EXCLUSIVE tag!!

[pwnsause]

you forget that the game is launching worldwide. LMAO. you fail.

[hotshot127]

want our games.

how sad.................hahahahhaa hahah

you guys WANT TO BELIEVE THIS........and you know it.

your HOPING ITSI TRUE. but its not so get over it.

how many times do we have to go over it

[Boink]

till konami annouces something can we stop this stuff?

[ROCCOZILLA]

i told you xbots to jump out before the new year,now you want ps3 line up,NOT!go play with your live arcade that should keep you going till 2010!PS3 4 LIFE

[Bladestar]

I expect Konami to release a statement saying that they have no plans to release the game on the xbox 360.. even if true.. this can create lots of damage on the PS3 side of things and all the money that Sony paid for time exclusivity can be wasted.

@kingxtreme81 - show me that commercial... if anything... it just has a logo of the PS3 which by the way there was a rummor since they showed a new commercial without the PS3 logo.... and by the way.. there is also something called "Time exclusive" there are lots of games that says, "Only on Xbox 360" just to see them released on other platforms months later.... I don't know why many SOny fanboys treat Konami as if it was owned by Sony... out of all games we have seeing Metal Gear on every system including the original xbox... which means that the only thing that can stop a Konami game from being published on the xbox 360 is if Konami is A) willing to not make the amount of money that they can make by releasing it for both systems. B) Sony paid a lots of money including the money they would otherwise make on the Xbox 360. C) Don't like Money; since microsoft I'm sure is offering them a lot more.

All I am saying is.. To Sony.. this better not be true... The PS3 survival depends on this game and Final fantasy... many people purchased their PS3 for this game and many others are still on the fense waiting for this game to be released to buy one.

Ohh and yeah... concidering the fact that all xbox 360 SKUs can play the same games... I wouldnt mind changing the disc 7 times for this linear game if I can play it on a system that costs me $199 (by the time metal gear is released) instead of $400....

[Clinton514]

Who are you to dictate what game(s) can make or break a system. Judging from your history on this site, you are no where near becoming qualified to make such judgment calls anytime this century.

Stick to playing games if you can even do that right.

[Enigma_2099]

... does this mean the game no longer has to sell a million copies on the first day in order to be considered a success?

[paracardium]

You xbots are getting more retarded as days go on!!!Pathetic

[jeanm3306]

Even konami employee stated if you want to play the game you have to get a ps3. i have a hard time believing it. if their is no name of the person who comment it. Bring some hard facts then i will believe you. even the person who commented for microsoft didn't even state his name. if the game do come to 360 it's alright but some people want to play it right away so it wouldn't have some big hits with the 360.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Wow a new year and still with the damn MGS4 rumours. Give it a rest!

[Quickstrike]

for the last time MGS 4 is a PS3 exclusive. no matter how much money M$ throws at it MGS 4 will stay on the PS3 because the break box cant handel MGS 4. If MGS 4 did come to the 360 then it would make the RRoD cases go from 1/3 to 9/10.

[Si-Pie]

Wow this article is attracting alot of attention! I really dont understand what the big deal is and why people get so upset about exclusive games being developed for other platforms. So what if it goes to 360 so what will it stop all you PS3 fans from enjoying it 12 months before? Same goes for 360 fans. So what if mass effect or Gow goes PS3? You still enjoy the game dont you? Really wished people would stop having pointless arguments and just concentrate on enjoying the games.

[Lucreto]

Ps3 fans won't care in 14 months. The ending will be posted on all 360 sites and as I said before only the real die hard 360 fans will wait that long.

[INehalemEXI]

You forgot to put the >Rumor< b4 the title lol.

[mistertwoturbo]

Confirmed: Halo 4 is coming to the PS3! After burning bridges with Microsoft. Bungie is now developing for the Sony Playstation 3 starting with Halo 4. Halo 4 is now a PS3 exclusive.

Yes. It's fake. Just as fake as MGS4 going to the 360. Jesus.

[jinn]

hell yeah we better get it after all the games that sony stole from us

[MvC Xtrm]

Such a thing. However, from a business perspective, a timed exclusive is highly probable considering all the time and money invested into this project. "if you want to play the game [first] you have to get a ps3". Makes business sense, eh?

[Mr_Showtime1]

if this has been in development since early last year, kojima stood there, in front of hundreds at E3 and said that this game is coming to ps3 only, surly kojima wouldn't lie like that, plus 13-14 months, thats like this December the ps3 getting bioshock, and no one would really care.

[Noodlecup]

PS3 owners don't want a Halo game haha

[aceman7]

Xbots say they don't care about this game but they still make up rumors about it coming to 360? STOP LYING XBOTS, YOU WANT THIS GAME!

[fury]

bad start

[Lumbo]

Surprise surprise, new year, same old rumor.

[fopums]

Oh wow......some 3rd rate xbox site has the inside info? I bet, this was definetly not a ploy to get their hits up.

by the way Bill Gates told me PS3 is getting Mass Effect 1.5....and that he IS Master Chief.

happy new years everbody!

[Foxlegend]

You know i'm so tired of all these fan boys crap, you guys need to grow up and stop acting like a child... if you are a true gamer like myself you will be playing every game system without all the fighting over what is better, this all sucks. X360 or PS3 no difference to me, Wii gamecube dreamcast, PS2 i have them all, so hey stop all this stupid inmature argue about this crap, and just enjoy the games..

[from the beach]

MGS4 on 360, I still think it'll happen. This article probably isn't the most credible source, I mean, the writing is just horrible, and the website's name has the word "xbox" in it which means anything they publish is automatically propaganda.

[Covenant]

How many times have we heard this rumor?

As much as I want this game on my 360, until we get official word from Konami, count me as skeptical.

[Kazzik]

WOW i had no idea there were so many whiny fanboys on this site(ahh who am i kidding i did so)What did you think Konami would say about the PS3 of course it would be positive and of course if the game is coming out for the PS3 first do you think that they would announce anything yet or tell everyone to go get a PS3 so that they can sell more games man you guys are too much.

This stuff happens all the time the two companies sign an agreement where everyone says this will be an exclusive the contract can last anywhere from 6months ,1 year ,2years or a lifetime in that time the company is PROHIBITED to say anything other than sorry guys if you want the game you gotta get(insert platform here) or this is an exclusive.It has happened before and then as soon as that contract is over boom(random game) gets announced for another platform. I mean you guys are supposed to be fanboys and you really do not know this crap goes on all the time in the industry you are so passionate about??

Flame me all you want but deep down you all know it is true these companies you guys love so much dont care about you they care about MONEY!!!!!! man i know you guys are not this delusional it is all about money if one platform does not have enough install base after the contract is up you can bet your bottom dollar that the game will go elsewhere to recoup it's losses i hate to break it to ya but this is buisness not playtime lets make friends =(

[Foxlegend]

I agree to an extent, that some of the companies do care about their fans while some obly care about the money, and these big corporations out there dont care for people just how much money they will make from the sales, i am a fan of games not just one game system, the fan boy thing is too childish to me.....

[zonetrooper5]

Damn fury you have 10 bubbles, thats mad. =D

If this is real, then this is a big coup for MS even though it comes out 12-14 months later. To me it does not matter if it does come to the 360, I own both the 360 and PS3 so I would be getting this for the PS3 first. The game does indeed look excellent, graphics and gameplay wise.

[aceman7]

I would like Gears of War, Mass Effect and Forza on PS3, m-m-m-mmake it so!

[Guwapo77]

Thanks bro. I'm unbias when it comes between the two systems. I don't own a X360 and probably never will until the X720 if they don't have the hardware issues. I'm a Playstation fan (minus PS2). But never will you see me fanboying for either side. All three game makers will be successful this generation...period.

[snakeater3]

remember how snake uses a sixaxis to control the little robot ? imagine snake gets a 360 controller out of his bag and the little mk11 little robot goes rrod on poor old snake ....now THAT would be hilarious lofl

[mintaro]

wow, nothing like a whole lotta contraversy to start a brand new year

[Professor Chaos]

PS3 fanyboys....get over yourselves this game is going to come to 360. The game industry is in this to make money, and if you move the game to more than one system that means more money for them. not to mention as it stands right now, the game will have to sell like 2 million copies in its first week of release to cover the cost of making the game. I'm sorry it is going to come to 360....just a fact.

[BrianC6234]

Wow, this story must be true. It's on an Xbox fanboy site and they talked to an unnamed Konami distribution rep. Even though Kojima has denied this for a long time if a distribution rep says it's so it must be. (rolls eyes)

[undacovabrothe]

cus obviously ur an idiot lol u 360 fansboys need to get over YOURSELVES I mean the article has no proof/reliability just some words posted on the internet. The article also contradicts a lot of things made by Konami. Also THE GAME I REPEAT for like the 5th time CAN NOT GO ON THE 360 BECAUSE IT CANT HANDLE IT. Another thing i bet mgs will sell 2mil copies in Japan alone so I think there is not going to be any problem in that department. Also believe it or not not all companies are money hungry like EA and Capcom some studios/companies like to make games for the fun of doing it and thats what they do. Bungie Split is a perfect example and Square Enix, Konami, Epic Games, are perfect examples on how companies just want to make games and if they get a huge profit return on what they make thats what they get. Konami is a very stable company and are not so swaded by money. They take loyalty and quality over money any day.

[Ludus Verum]

I have played both systems and have yet to see any game that cannot be done just as well on either one. I'm not trying to start yet another 360 vs. PS3 hardware flame, but they are in reality both about equal. If indeed one is vastly superior to the other then where are all these incredible games and why am I not playing them?? To say that the 360 could not handle it.... I have to call BS on that one. I also have to call BS on "all game companies are not in it for the profit?? With the multi million dollar investments required to make next gen games, nobody is producing games just for the artistic satisfaction of doing so. Let's also look at the last installment MGS2. Sold 7 million copies worldwide and total PS2 sales over 100 million worldwide. So only 7% of ps2 owners bought the game. In my opinion this game does not have much appeal to the gaming masses only to hardcore fans of the series. Will it be great?? Yes. Will it live up to the hype? NO way!! Will it sell millions of ps3's?? Don't bet on it. Will it get ported to other systems? Very likely considering the history of the series. My 2 cents.

[shysun]

BUY..A...P...S...3.....HATERS! ! :p

[ErcsYou]

sooo....... the 360 version of MGS4 will be released august 2009.. Thats a loooong ways away... Most would rather just buy a PS3...

[xunderx]

360 fans cancel your gym memberships if really happens(which i serioulsy dont think so) because four discs(easily on dvd9) will make quite a workout playing this game. Maybe then everybody will realize that a high def(bluray) player was truley needed for the REAL NEXT GEN EXPERIENCE

[Ludus Verum]

I'm guessing you are a sony fan?? So you probably own/owned a ps2?? So why was it perfectly acceptable for multidisk games to grace the ps2, but now it's an achilles heel for a 360 game to have more than 1 disk? If the ps3 does indeed have a 10 year life span as sony would lead us to believe, what will you think of the ps3 in 8 years when they need 2 or 3 50 Gig blue ray disks to fit a game??

[Firewire]

Anyone who takes this news from Xboxfamily (lol) seriously needs their head examined.

Just Dreams by MS fans.

[Rice]

true. look at the damn website, "xboxfamily", if this statement came from a different and more credible website, such as IGN or Gameinformer then it will most likely be true.

[Anything but Cute]

well good luck waiting to the hardcore 360 fanboys. Maybe on launch day, you guys can spread the word by standing in front of stores yelling " IT'S COMING TO XBOX 360, IN A YEAR!! I HEARD ON XBOXFAMILY.COM"

You can watch everyone scatter.

[Fontaine Rapture]

So this is really bad news,may i ask what is the problem if more gamers can enjoy good games!!!

[DaEnforcer]

LMAO dream on xbots

[TheMART]

Hahahaha almost 300 comments

SEE THOSE PS3 FANGIRLS JUMPING THE GUN!

Damn how funny

[etownone]

It would be nice to go back to this thread after MGS4 is released on the 360 and read all your ignorant comments. If Sony didn't pay for exclusive rights, then why in the hell do you guys not think that it wouldn't be on 360 down the road????

Reasons why it will be released:
1. Past practice by Konami (Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance were also released on Xbox and the Gamecube eventually)
2. The number of 360 owners compared to the PS3
3. The fact that 360 owners buy more games than PS3 owners....every multi-plat released to date proves that point.

Epic did the very stupid mistake of releasing UT3 on PS3 first and as a result has very low sales. Even if the game isn't that great, 360 owners would have sucked it up quick at launch because of the fact it is made by the makers of Gears of War.

Besides your compelling reasons of "loyalty" or saying "it can't be done without the power of the Cell!!".....take a sec and think, and you'll realize that the reason everyone confirms it only to the PS3 is marketing. Same way Epic said Gears of War would never come to PC, and the same way Epic now says the extra content on PC will never be on the 360...haha...yeah right.

[darkvenom]

XboxFamily.com what a reliable source!.....Yeah right! I call BS untill Konami says otherwise.

[Bathyj]

Ah, look at the shmucks who approved this story.

And guess who was the first to bend over.

EDIT
HA
Oh Boohoo I lost a bubble. Have a cry why dont you'se.

[heyheyhey]

you are right the game probably does have to sell 2mil in the first week to cover up costs and guess what..... it most likely will, i've been surfing the net quite a bit lately and it seems that there is massive interest for the game from existing ps3 owners and i have seen at least 100 people say that they will buy a ps3 to play the game and im sure that hundreds of thousands of people will do just that. you must not understand the significance of the game- it the final installment in arguably the best gaming series ever and over the years it has accumulated millions of fans also it is being developed by arguably the most creative and genius developer of all time (starting to see the differences with halo now?) so this game will probably sell even more than that in its first week because by the time it launches the ps3 should have around an 7-9 mil user base and at least 50% of them are going to buy the game so if you do the math that works out to around 3-5 mil copies sold not to mention the bundle of extra cash they will get straight out of sony's pockets to keep it exclusive. after this konami will realize that they dont really need to bother with a 360 port because they will have made bucketloads of cash anyway

[jackdoe]

Story should say RUMOR. Anyway, I'll take this rumor with a grain of salt. It is possible, but with all the talk about exclusive, exclusive, exclusive over the following months, the chances of this are pretty unlikely. Sigh. Just when I thought all these rumors would die, some jackass has to start them up again. Oh well. I just want the game released on the PS3 already.

[fenderputty]

win this months contest pretty bad huh? Nothing says degrees like a MGS4 going multi thread.

[360Crusader]

lol oh it never ends. but you know what they say their always some truth to every story.

[THC CELL]

if this game comes to x box so what
i mean its out on ps3 first and it will only sell on ps3 it will only run at its best performance on ps3 the x box port will be 2 cds
14 months after Pff
people wont wait that long for a great game when they can play it in 90 days from now
x box family and players get a ps3 and tell me what it feels like to have a great and much better console and games

[spike]

PS3 SUCKS

[360Crusader]

wouldnt worry about it though 360 got plenty other games to keep its owners happy. if it comes it comes if dont it dont. no big deal.

[ChaosKnight]

I'll wait for an announcement before I jump to conclusions from a site such as this. I work freelance and I will tell you something right now... if this is a reliable source, you sell the story to someone else otherwise putting it up on a small site like this just draws negative and unwanted attention. If it is a fake, you do exactly what you see here.

[ichimaru]

i'm all for mgs on the 30, but by 09'? it might be a little old in comparion to other games on the 360 by then. they better offer an exspansion or new charachters to a year old game.

[ichimaru]

Metal Gear is PLAYSTATION and PLAYSTATION is Metal Gear. Thats Konami's purpose.

[etownone]

gotta be the dumbest comment so far...

how do you explain Metal Gear Substance on original Xbox and Solid Snake on Gamecube then???

[SweeneyTodd]

First of all, to the xbox fans that say ps3 is such a crap system, you have no arguement by saying such a thing if you dont not have the system. Americans have to be the stupidest race of sh!t on this earth, no its not about exclusives, yanks are so bloody insecure. More people AROUND THE WORLD own a ps3 than xbox360. Not a guess, a fact. Thats because people from outside the usa are smart, they dont play littke queer games of "my system is better than yours", give it a fvcking rest you two year old homos. This all stems down to the fact taht americans are stupid people who are persuaded and blindly follow their media. I tell youfrom experience, the xbox360 is sh!t, now all you ten years olds call me a sony fanboy, stop proving to me that yanks are the sh!t of the world in terms of intelligence. I bought my 360 when it came out, i had overheating problems, my game was scrathced to sh!t, I returned it, they gave me another system that broke within 4 months, I had a total of 3 xbox systems, I now have one ps3 which never breaks down, does not have internet issues like the crap MS produced. Again inferior yanks, if you do get mgs4 you will love it, but will have no idea WTF is going on since you never had a ps to play the original one, so appreciate this gift and go fvck yourselves stupid yanks, JAPAN!

[Tsukasah]

First of all, Americans aren't even a race of people, we are actually descendants of immigrants from OTHER countries, minus the Native American's. The Native Americans actually came here from Asia anyways. Second, 360 total sales = 11mil PS3 total sales are 8mil. I have met many people outside the U.S. (mostly in england) that are Anti-PS3 and are given into the marketing hype and brainwashing. Yes, many of us Americans are idiots. Not all, and a majority of the 360 owners in the USA are teenagers and under. America isn't home of the idiots where everyone is inferior to all others. Blame your ancestors friends who immigrated to America. You do realize the computer you're running on is probably an American-branded computer. Computers were first made in the USA, btw. Also, the whole fast food thing is American. Probably not that big outside of the USA compared to the USA itself, but it is still huge. I do admit that our politicians are retarded, but I say again, not all Americans are. People like you p!ss me off. Blaming, and thinking that all idiocrity is American. Thinking that everyone outside of America must be smart because they simply are not from America. You know what. F@CK YOU!!! Get off this site you racist son of a b!tch. I am a damn proud American, and a damn proud Anti-Microsoft, Pro-Sony, Pro-Linux 15 year old teenager. I say again, get the hell off this site. I'm merely calling you racist because you just said that Americans are a race in its whole. I don't know where you from but it is obviously not the US, so unless you've been to the midwest or the south(where I actually am from) then you will hardly see as many idiots as you will see in other countries, where people are too poor to afford education. When people are actually able to be well educated, they get introduced to rap music and become wiggers. Wiggers(not N$&&@$#, as they have an excuse to act black) are ruining this country along with the fact that our politicians are indeed lowering the educational standards we have. I'm done wasting my precious finger energy ranting about all this BS. Again, get off this site you racist b@stard.

@below I will quote myself, "I'm merely calling you racist because you just said that Americans are a race in its whole." That was why I was calling him racist, also... what other word is there to call him?

[chrno6]

You two made me laugh. First, Ikbencloud is way too extreme. Second, Tsukasah, how can he be racist when u just argue that American is not a race?

[Fontaine Rapture]

You are an old school bigot and a shame to all gamers regardless of nationality or choice of gaming platform.Americans are not even close to the level of stupidity that you ARE!!! If you are from UK,stop embarrassing the majority of us!Moron

[Hades1337]

It was confirmed at E3 that MGS4 would be exclusive to the PS3. This didnt come from a random source; this game from Hideo Kojima, the games creator.

End of story.

[unlimited]

pathetic..thats all i can say..no matter how many times it confirmed to only ps3 exclusive from konami or kojima the rumor just wont die..

[laryforlife]

hahahahahahahahahahahah.... as soon as i saw this article i knew i could get some classic entertainment from these comments

[DARKKNIGHT]

wow. pointless gibberish

[Fanboy Slaughter]

Wow, this surely lit a fire up every fanboy's ass. It's speculation, at best, and until I hear it straight from Kojima, it's bullsh!t.

Since Kojima himself usually has unveiling rights to his works, and goes out of his way to announce his own work, I would believe something this big would come straight from his mouth if it were true.

And even IF (and it's a BIG "IF"!!!), it came out to 360, in the 12 to 14 months span of exclusivity, it wouldn't even really matter, considering that anyone who's gonna buy it will have bought it well within that year or so.

[ApocalypseShadow]

with bloodmask and the round peg leading the charge on N4G.as the admins look the other way and make bank.and both fanboys hoping to win chump change.

360 fanboys cry more for ps3 exclusives.ps3 gamers don't cry over 360 games.you need to get microsoft to make games that copy sony's genre crossing style.

they want square to release FF and VS on 360 to stop sony momentum.

they want konami to push kojima to release mgs4 simultaneously on 360.

***is microsoft the leader?or follower claiming to be the leader and facing the other way thinking they're first in line?*** feel free to use the mag lev exclusive quote. dec 30 2007

this a is a two prong strategy by the microsoft VIRAL MARKETING 360 FANBOY FORCE.

1)beg,cry,lie and cheat.whatever it takes to slow sony's thunder.the first part is hope and pray sony's big guns come to 360 becuase they know(360 fanboys) that sony's big guns will create such a stir,that ps3 sales will catch 360 sales sooner,rather than later.

2)and the second,360 fanboys are trying to downplay sony big guns like metal gear4.but at the same time,try to create OVERHYPE so that if mgs4 doesn't sell in high numbers in the first week(it is going to launch worldwide simutaneously)like halo or gears,they will say,

SEE?! METAL GEAR WOULD HAVE MADE MORE MONEY ON 360 IF IT WAS MULTIPLATFORM.LOOK AT OUR ATTACHMENT RATES(6.5).(that has more to do with time on market.and not actual real buying power.)ps3 is at 3.5 or more.and that's one year on market.

the fanboys of 360 and microsoft,have created a new low for gaming.putting up rumors as fact,blatantly lying about ps3,overhype their own games,bought into the multiple breakdowns of 360 hardware,bought into paying for online gaming,bought into expensive peripherals,and look the other way when microsoft copies everything sony said was beneficial for next gen gaming.and excusing it as "CHOICE."

such a shame we have to deal with another MGS4 FUD article from FUD spreaders.the same gamers who claim"we got all the games,"but are in full force with articles like this and not playing them.

[Levan]

As far as a can see Jepanes People are like us Georgian of course they don't have 25 century of history but still the are very cultural. In Georgia breaking a word is worse then breaking your head. And in Jepan it's same and if Hideo kojima said Metal Gear 4 is ps3 exclusive that means Metal Gear 4 is Playstation 3 exclusive

And XboxFamily are deda apetqebuli gandonebi magati deda movtxani nabichvrebi This is written in Georgian language because English language is not rich enough

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Guess N4G and it's PS3 fans don't like it when Xbox fans say the same thing PS3 fans but they get away with. What a double (N4G) standard.

MGS4 rumors allways get PS3rd fanboys panties in a bunch, might want to check em see if you didn't drop a load.

LOL this rumor found it's way on over to KOTAKU. Over 300 comments on this rumor and 90% are Droids :) LOL I need to get scared sh!tlessOMETER out because some of you PS3rd Droids have gone nuclear and I need to check the RAD level.

RUMOR RUMOR RUMOR now make sure to report this comments at "SPAM" :)

[The Killer]

sure some konami distributors will tell that site this info and not other sites and share holders about it!
and to make it believable they said after 1 year will come the port also this shows that their claim is a lie because they its true that they starting working on the game since early 2007 then they shouldnt take so long to port the game to 360(which suppose it be the easier system to develop for). i call this is a bogus.

[Bez]

THE PS3 SUCKS SAME WITH 360 AND WII

[Tsukasah]

Honestly, I agree. This gens consoles do suck... Gaming was dead to me ever since Microsoft came in... Im not entirely blaming microsoft... but I'm just using them to mark an era. I miss the 64 days! :(

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

LOL funny, you already been hit LMFAO. Bubbles for, thanks for that laugh to ring in this new year.

[Fanboy Slaughter]

Yeah, this is the first gen to launch in my 20's. Last gen launched when I was 16, and I was still young enough to get that surreal satisfaction I got from playing a game until 4am almost nightly. Now, that I'm married and working full time, reality is just too much to get that kind of enjoyment from video games on a regular basis....that and the fanboys don't make it any better.

[Bez]

PC SUCKS TOO

[Jandre02]

Right now things are going to end up like last gen. The PS3 is already outselling the 360 WW. I has been since the beginning of November except for that one week with Wii shortages.

The PS3 will pass the 360 by the end of the year next year and will have momentum going into the next year as well. Who cares if the 360 gets it in 09?

By that time the PS3 will have a more polished version of Bioshock and Mass Effect.

[FPS nut]

You just assume MS and Nintendo will leave the home console buisness even though Nintendo is first in hardware and Microsoft is second in hardware and first in game software? Like I said "drugs are bad" they make you see illusions and fantasy.

Now when Playstation comes out with great titles like FF, MGS4, SOCOM and GOW we will see a surge in PS3 console sales but to assume MS and Nintendo don't have anything at all to contend with those powerhouse games is delusional (BIG TIME) What do you think when those games come out that MS and Nitendo are just going to run to the hills and hide? They didn't last gen with the Xbox and GC and Nintendo didn't with the N64. What did you just start gaming during the PS2 era? because that would explain your delusion. Nintendo isnt affraid of anyone, just ask Sega, Sony and Microsoft. Microsoft is pure money so get used to them being around because they are in it for the long haul like Sony and Nintendo.

First this news is a rumor, MGS4 isn't going anywhere but on PS3 consoles, just like Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3 and Gears won't leave MS. What next you think Mario and Zelda will go to Playstation or Xbox?

[wageslave]

Of course it is. Why?

A) Konami and MS are very tight.

and

B) Xbox 360 represents more than half of the TOTAL 7th Gen. Industry -- Konami has accountants you know. The global install base between PS3 and Xbox 360 is VERY wide, and the Xbox 360 continues to put distance between them with greater sales worldwide.

EVERY analyst (and obviously not the PS3 fanboys on N4G) damn well know (B).

That said, I could care less. The Xbox 360 *ALREADY* has piles of great games I dont have time to play already, 2008 looks to be another epic year, maybe some people really find MGS attractive. To me, its just another shooter.

Xbox 360 already dominates the shooter (and many other) genres, adding MGS does little more than remove the already light winds in the sails of the ill-fated PS3.

@Below:

Actually, you're wrong. There isnt a single month that the PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 on a world-wide basis. Not once.

Take off your Sony-coloured glasses and you'd know that.

[IntelligentAj]

Interesting but last I checked the lead wasn't widening, it was actually shrinking. Not by much but shrinking nonetheless.

[solsub]

No, he's right. The 360's lead is steadily shrinking, not widening. Although the 360 has been outselling the PS3 on a monthly basis, the differential of units sold between each console is getting smaller. In other words the PS3 is catching up, albeit very slowly.

I really don't know why people like you hold such a strong bias against the console. It's a great system.

[IntelligentAj]

The source isn't named and it's tagged under rumors, enough said.

[Honor_in_Armor]

Confirmed: Final Fantasy XIII coming to x360 2010!

It's kinda funny how in the article the writers states it puts an end to the rumours and speculations, while over here it's still listed as a rumour. And it remains a rumour until there is an OFFICIAL announcement of which there is none, nada, zilche. Comprehende?

Fan...*stutters*...girls (I can't believe I just said that) don't get your panties all in a bunch.

[power of Green]

I hear this game is one a only a few reasons to own a PS3 according to the daily PS3 fanboy rants.

[etownone]

Being that Metal Gear has already appeared on original Xbox and Gamecube you can only assume it will come to the 360 with a much highest installed base and higher proven software sales than PS3. it will be a sad day for PS owners when this rumor is confirmed true. There are only two major exclusives left for PS3 that can help sell systems, MGS4 and FF.

If this rumor is true, hopefully it will be confirmed before the game comes out for PS3 ;)

[IntelligentAj]

Why in the world do you fanboys want one console to fail. Do you not realize that competition is what drives industry? And i've got to give it to you guys.. When it comes from the creator of the game that it's exclusive you don't believe it yet you'll believe a fan website? Explain to me how that makes sense?

[The Killer]

it doesnt make since of course except for xbots so dont waist ur time to reason with the unreasonable bots!

[FPS nut]

Reread what you just wrote and tell me if you can see the same hypocrisy I do. In your eyes and after reading a few of your past comments, it's ok for PS3 fans to wish for the demise of the Xbox but it's not ok for the "xbots" to do it?

Take your meds, I think you forgot todays dose.

[etownone]

"IntelligentAj

First, the same way the creators of Gears of War (epic)said it wouldn't come to PC or the creators of Virtual Fighter 5 (sega) said its exclusive to PS3 is why Mr. Kimojo or whatever his name is said its exclusive to PS3. If its a timed exclusive you gotta market it for the console its coming out on first.

And also, do I want the PS3 to fail...No, but I sure as hell dont want it to whoop Xbox ass like the last console wars. Sony got too arrogant and made too many mistakes this time around. But no matter what the PS3 wil not fail even if it comes in 2nd or 3rd thanks to Japan not supporting American made xbox360 and PS3's blu-ray support.

[The Killer]

to make things clear!
xbot not equal to 360 owners but only the blinded fan boys and i mean blinded!

and for 222 comment, he is ps3 hater so he is an xbot, just look at wat he wishes for!! he wishes for less people buying ps3 because thats wat will happened when people will know the game will come to 360 before releasing it on ps3! its like saying they should announce the release of gears of war 2 to be on ps3 before it releases on 360!

and by the way MGS4 IS exclusive to ps3! and it will be on 360 only if it didnt sell well on ps3 and thats not gonna happened thats a fact!

and for u to know, i dont give a damn if 360 is selling a million a week or not, i like sony consoles and thats it! but i dont like someone to tell me how crappy is my console and thats what the bots do!!

[IntelligentAj]

I hear your points and you make some good ones. I would have to say that I don't think the game is coming to the 360 because, despite what you said, it's been vehemently denied by the creator of the game and the company who holds the rights to release it on whichever system they choose, which was the PS3 not the 360. On top of that, Kojima has been proven to be a staunch supporter of Sony.

[chrno6]

omg omg who should be trusted? Kojima or xboxfamily. Damn, must be hard to decide.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I never liked the series and I still don't care for the game. Splinter Cell always provided more gameplay for me than The never ending metal gear story.

[The Killer]

which in 10 years they made up to 4 games and SC in 5 years made 5 games is not long story?

[Swat20]

this isn't really anything new a Konami rep told us EB guys the same thing at this years managers conference. seriously i don't see y this is a big deal. its gonna be a year after and 360 fans will get a great game (probably with something extra) and Sony guys will get the game sooner and sales will go up because of it. so quit all your damn disbelieving its going to happen.

[name]

This crap is making me wanna quit video games -_- I just really don't like the video game community at all. It's turning to shyt to be honest.

[jaja1434]

These comments make me laugh. But not in a good way. In that sad little way that one does when he sees something so ridiculous it makes him want to cry, but instead you laugh to shrug off the absurdity.

It's a game for heavens sake. One that most people want to play. So are you being so insecure out some stupid box that you don't want others to enjoy a game that so many are looking forward to? All of this fanboy crap is reaching such a high point that you people would rather argue over who gets to play what game than trade comments on what/how much there is to to look forward too.

Pathetic.

[heyheyhey]

@wageslave- stupid ignorant 360 fanboy how dare you call it "just another shooter" when halo 3 is the same as 2 essentially gears of war is just another loud-mouthed "im cool because i have big guns" shooter the only game that is remotely as interesting, innovative and engaging as mgs (and i mean every mgs not just 4) is bioshock which i have played and loved on my pc(bad choice M$) i mean you probably havnt even played mgs have you? and the only reason that you are mouthing it off is because its not coming to your soon-to-be-broken-down sh!tbox and if it was you would be salivating over it oh and by the way the ps3 is rapidly closing the sales gap with the recent price cuts and the launch of the 40gb model so you can keep your head buried in the sand but you etter face facts soon- your going down in 08 cause ps3 has all the great exclusives and its getting cheaper every month now go make some more rumors to try and kid yourself

[jwatt]

All this does is create more hype for mgs4 and it will sell even better becuase of these articles. Just shows that everyone wants this game.

[Heaven_Or_Hell]

Already 349 comments and 1400° for this ... ?

Oh Well, I have forgot, N4G becoming seriously fuc*ing BS just like this news =D Great !

[Slayer OP]

This is just a rumor. Mgs is exclusive to the playstation 3 and nothing will change that. I dont know what is wrong with xbots these days but they need to learn what "screw you, we dont want your system for our game" means.

[Tyrael]

Lol this is getting out of hand. What's next? Final Fantasy 14 coming to the Wii?

[JasonX43]

At E3 Hideo Kojima said and I quote, "The Metal Gear Solid series started on Playstation and it will end on Playstation..." He's also been quoted saying that he hated the porting process when Metal Gear Solid 3 was ported over to the original XBox. Why do people keep digging up this rumor?! It's dead!! It's not happening!

[ISA_Scum]

So sad our gaming world has become. XBOTs say we PS3 gamers have nothing good to play and yet demand PS3 exclusives to come to their consoles and continue to have their fanboy sites come up with secret sources declaring PS3 exclusives porting there way over to the most unreliable piece of gaming hardware of all time.

I see that XBOXFamily.com is now the official source of all news dealing with Konami corporate decision making. Good to see. I mean, shareholder statements or the company's official website obviously must have been too cluttered to bother with information like this. So who better to announce such info than XBOXFamily.com? I mean, screw IGN, Gamespot and 1up. If people need unbiased gaming news, XBOXFamily is the site to get it man!

Also funny how this is rumor number 2,456,789 about MGS4 coming to XBOX360 and yet the other 2,456,788 were all turned down by continued claims of PS3 exclusivity from, oh, no one important. Just Kojima, the development team and Konami. But why take their words when you can just visit XBOXFamily.com for the most up to date and truthful gaming news involving PS3 exclusives porting their way over to the Red Ring of Death machine!

People, seriously. If you believe this, go slap yourself in front of a mirror and repeat after me: "I ______ am a ******* idiot."

[Lord_Mike]

Great news for XBOX 360 owners =) Now everyone with next-gen consoles (besides Wii) can enjoy MGS. This is a win for gamers.

[solsub]

Yeah. Now all we need is for the next iteration of Bioshock to appear on the PS3 so that "every" gamer wins.

[Spike47]

and other people with common sense.

fanboyism makes people ignorant and stupid. Not to mention immature above all.

Hideo Kojima himself can say it ten times, but as long as these 360 fanboys can dream it, it will keep popping up.

and if it comes to the 360 you'll have to wait 12 months or so.

by that time ps3 owners will be playing gow3.

so please, just like gears is'nt going on the ps3 mgs4 is not going on the 360.

simple. Yet u fanboys can't understand that. SAd.

[DFresh]

Have any of you guys ever watched the E3 Game Show?
Well...if you have watch the Sony presentation Kojima Productions stated in plain words both English and Japanese that MGS4 is a 100% exclusive to the PS3.
Stop lying to yourselves it's a Sony PS3 confirmed exclusive so stop asking.
I watched all the presentations of all 3 game console companies of every single game show and I have never seen Kojima at an Xbox conference ever only Sony.
Kojima announced every possible detail about that game even console specifics and it's only been heard by Sony.
Besides everybody keeps saying this game is going to the 360 for a whole year and I still haven't heard anything about it
no proof or evidence.
If you want a PS3 so bad just buy one and if you want an 360 for Project Offset and Alan Wake then buy that.

[Spike47]

mgs4 ,gow3, ff13and ff13versus are the ps3's must haves.

xbox360 has gears,halo, and whatever other u wanna add to the list.

without halo there would be no reason to buy a 360. However there is gears.etc.

without mgs4 the ps3 would die. But there is ff13,gow3 etc.

[solsub]

So, rumour #10367323244 of MGS4 going to the 360 has surfaced. Thank God, without these the gaming industry just couldn't continue to exist. I was getting a little worried there until I read this headline.

Thank you xboxfamily.com and your mysterious, but undoubtedly reliable, sources. I love you.

[PSWe60]

Remember when controllers just had a button and joysitck?
Miss those days

[bootsielon]

They want this game on Xbox 360 because they think that will ruin PS3, even though fanboys like "Genuine" (should read genuinly an xtard) and Zhuk are not interested in playing it.

I find it hilarious when these morons hail Splinter Cell as a better game. They got the leftovers, naturally they'll praise whatever resembles to MGS. Seriously, the only good Splinter Cell games I've played are available on my cell phone right now (they're pretty good).

[NoxiousD]

I wanna be completely honest here. Look I own the Sony playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 Elite. But, it just wouldn't feel right if this game went to XBOX 360 it would make more sense if it went to Nintendo because that is where it sort of came from other than the MSX. It's just a headache all these rumors start again I mean Hideo Kojima said himself it was just exclusive to Sony. The PS3 wouldn't be so different anymore if it lost it.

[mikeslemonade]

Would this game even matter after it's been out on the PS3 for a year? The PS3 will get the better version. Timed exclusive is still a good thing. It doesn't have to be a full on exclusive. The hype is always around the games that have been released two months ago. No one is talking Halo 3 right now which is the game that had the most hype and sold so much. Now MGS4 will be the samething who cares after 1 year. There's not going to be any hype around MGS4 by then.

[Figboy]

if MGS4 comes to the 360 or not (and good for X Box fans if it does) because a few things are going to happen with it:

1.) 360 fans *WON'T buy it. have you all forgotten what happened the *LAST time an MGS game came to an X Box console? it was called Metal Gear Solid 2 Subsistance (or was it Sustinance? hell, i can't remember). X Box owners *DIDN'T buy it. they loved their Splinter Cell too much. the only reason they wanted MGS on the X Box was so PS2 fans couldn't say "Metal Gear Solid 2 PS2 only!" financially, it was a disaster for Konami. now, if 360 fans legitimately want to play MGS4, that's *GREAT! it's certain to be an excellent game. but if they want it on the 360 just to say "HAW HAW!" to PS3 fans, and they *DON'T buy it, like with MGS2, well, i have a finger for those people. i'll let them figure out which one.

2.) it'll probably have the DMC4 effect. that is to say, controls not as good as the PS3 version (DMC was a PS series, and optimized for the PS2 controller. from various hands on reports, the 360 version of DMC feels "off" because of the controller). i think MGS4 will also have control issues on the 360 for the same reasons. also, loading times. you can install DMC4 on the PS3 to eliminate load times altogether. i think MGS4 will have a similar option for the PS3 version, but not the 360 version (do to a lack of hard drive standard). hopefully this won't be the case, but it seems like Playstation series brought to the X Box have issues with control.

3.) the game will be compressed to hell. Kojima *NEVER uses CG in the Metal Gear Solid games. he uses higher poly ingame models of the characters for the cutscenes (check out MGS3 for a great example of this). even with using in game assets, Kojima has stated numerous times that he's going to need a 50gig Blu Ray disc for the game, because the 25 gig disc wasn't enough. in order to fit 50gigs of data into a 7.5gig 360 DVD, some major compressing is going to have to be done.

i'm from the camp that thinks, in this generation of games, a larger capacity disc is a *MUST, whether Blu Ray or HD DVD (i wouldn't have complained if MS had put an HD DVD drive *INSIDE of the 360 for games, or maybe a higher capacity proprietary disc they developed themselves, just not a 7.5gig DVD drive). Unreal Tournament, when installed on the PC, takes up 15gigs of space. outside of the visuals, Unreal Tournament is hardly a next gen game by todays standards gameplay wise (but no less awesome and fun).

we're already starting to see developers have issues with the DVD drive in the 360. just look at Mass Effect, and it's constant texture pop in, loading, and framerate issues; and that's a AAA effort. compare it to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the PS3, which has *NO LOAD TIMES after you turn the game on and boot up a save or new game, no framerate issues, despite tons of things happening on screen at once, and texture pop in only once in a while, and never longer than 1 or 2 seconds. Uncharted doesn't even use the HDD for caching, so i can imagine the few issues it does have with textures would be remedied if Naughty Dog had applied HDD caching.

my concern is that MGS4 on the 360 will suffer in the visual and audio department to fit on the 360. i have no doubt that the MGS4 engine could run on the 360, and i actually think that Metal Gear Solid Online will come to the 360 even if MGS4 doesn't, but i think that MGS4 will simply have a lot of story, a lot of dialog, and we've already seen the fantastic visuals. i wouldn't want the 360 version to have to skimp on any of these things. it would also suck if the game required the HDD like some other games, meaning that a lot of 360 owners (those that don't own HDDs), will be left out, or getting a "lesser" product. this isn't fair to them at all.

my point isn't to condemn the 360 (or even Mass Effect), but to raise legitimate concerns over MGS4 coming to the 360.

will 360 users actually buy it, and will it be a worthy port, without too many corners being cut to make up for the lack of standard Hard drive, and the limitations of DVD in the 360.

much like how i feel about Orange Box on the PS3, i'd feel the same way about MGS4 on the 360 if i was a 360 owner looking for some Metal Gear goodness (and not just looking for a "HAW HAW, PS3 owners lost another exclusive!"). i'd want the game to run as smoothly as other ports (ie, Burnout, Call of Duty 4, GRAW2, Oblivion, etc), and not be a half-assed job (which i think Orange Box was, though not terrible, but there was no reason for it to run the way it did on the PS3).

[N4M3L355]

However, could you PM me the link referencing your comment about Kojima needing 50gbs for MGS4? Thanks.

[Figboy]

but i'll see if i can scrounge it up for you.

*EDIT - here's one brief comment, but there are more: http://kotaku.com/gaming/ko...

[NoxiousD]

Figboy, you do have an excellent point. Why would Konami risk that again? the sales of Metal Gear Solid on the XBOX weren't even good not bad but awful. Metal Gear was meant for the PS3 just as Devil May Cry 4 was, I am hoping both launches will be successful and alot of games can appreciate the games. I understand people can't cough up all that money to own both so in a way it would benefit the companies. But PS3 really needs a system mover right now. They need something to give them that magic, the PS2 had.
So personally i am hoping the rumor is false. If 360 did get it, it would just be something slopped together. But i hope for the best.

[Figboy]

i also agree that Metal Gear Solid is a Playstation series.

Kojima has stated that numerous times.

"The Metal Gear *SOLID (emphasis mine) series was born on the Playstation consoles, and I'd like it to die on the Playstation consoles."

to paraphrase a Kojima comment from a little while back.

the Solid series is Playstation.

who's to say that, after Kojima is finished with 4, and moves on, that Konami won't make *ANOTHER Metal Gear series ( Metal Gear Neo or something), and make *THAT series multi-platform?

Kojima's not doing any more Metal Gears, but that doesn't mean that Konami won't continue the franchise (they do own it, after all, but they understand the weight Kojima carries with fans, so they abide by his wishes, in the same way Nintendo abides by Shigeru Miyamoto's wishes, even though they own Mario, Zelda, and Metroid).

Kojima has also stated that he'd much rather make games tailored to the specific strengths of the console.

so, MGS4 is tailored to the Playstation 3's Cell Processor and Blu Ray technology.

he'd like to make a *NEW game on the 360, tailored to the Xenon processor, and the strengths of the 360 (think X Box Live, etc)

he'd like to make a *NEW game on the Wii, tailored to the Wii remote.

like most creative people, Kojima isn't just tied to Metal Gear. Boktai were great games, as was Zone of the Enders 1 and 2, and Snatcher.

personally, instead of seeing him retread MGS on the 360, i'd rather see him create something *NEW and awesome.

360 fanboys laugh at PS3 fans for getting their "leftovers," but here a lot of them are clamoring at the bit for the PS3's "leftovers" (assuming this rumor is true; for the record, i *DON'T think it's true at all), or dismissing classic franchises like Metal Gear and Final Fantasy as "old hat," but when rumors of the two series coming to the 360, they sing a different tune. make up your minds, fanboys. you can't have it both ways. either you *DON'T want MGS4 and Final Fantasy (when they're PS3 exclusive), or you *DO (when it's rumored multi-plat).

i won't hold my breath for MGS4 on the 360, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was announced.

[N4M3L355]

once I saw the author's name. I mean, c'mon, the article is already coming from Xboxfamily.com. Do we really consider this news, a rumor turned into an article written by...Freeze?!?

[GUNS N SWORDS]

Metal Gear Solid 4 subsequent for 360, funny...i'll just wait on official news.

[Meus Renaissance]

I envy Round Peg. He's gonna get so many points for this article.

[NoxiousD]

If i recall correctly in 2006, Mr. Kojima did say that MGS4 could be possible on the 360 but it would take a lot of memory and disc capacity that is one of the reasons his primary focus was on Sony. He said developing was difficult but his team was up to the task and made it work. But I always seen Hideo as a Nintendo and Sony fan boy, it was actually his idea to release twin snakes on Gamecube it was a great idea in my opinion.

But I think Microsoft started this rumor as some sort of tactic since the release date has been confirmed for June. But didn't Microsoft say they were trying to make a metal gear solid 4 killer so them getting it would be BS! so this rumor has to be a lie!

[Sev]

While the notion of this rumor makes sense (of course it would make more money for Konami), this wont happen.

MS is an corporate America, and is viewed by most of the world as evil.
Kojima, and Konami are Japanese, along with Sony. There is a type of honor, non of us Americans will ever understand that is prevelant in Japanese business. Kojima is also very loyal to the fans that made Metal Gear what it is today.
This game isnt going anywhere.

Kojima and Payton have both said a few times now that its PS3 exclusive. Remember the comment "If you want to play MGS4, buy a PS3"

The amount of HD video (yes MGS is known for its lengthy cutscenes) will only be possible if the 360 version had multiple discs.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS NEXT STATEMENT AS BLIND FANBOY TALK as I think that the Xbox 360 is a great console, with excellent games and features. (I dont own one as I dont care for PC style games, I dont want to pay for live, and RROD scares me away)

Here is the statement....

If this were true and it was due to be released 12-14 months after the June 08 launch of MGS4 for PS3......
I highly doubt the Xbox 360 would be much of a viable contender at that point. I only say this as history tends to repeat itself.
Original XboX release date - November 15th 2001
XboX 360 release date - November 22nd, 2005
NextBox November 09 (and MS comepletely ditches support for past consoles)
MGS4 would maybe come out on the 360 successor.
Cmon guys 360 has plenty of fight left, but without HD media disc, HDMI 1.3, HD audio support. It isnt going to last into 2010.

[The Killer]

when will they learn that by doing this it wont change anything?
MGS4 is a ps3 exclusive! do u think sony dont have enough money to secure this game??

[aaron5829]

Oh, ok... XBox Family. Nuff Said.

[FirstknighT]

Looks like we have a winner for hottest news this month!

[NoxiousD]

I think the whole rumor is nothing, And nothing is all it will be. I don't see this coming true at all. I hope you people don't buy into this, and no 360 fans get upset over this because this is an head ache. At E3 Hideo said this game was exclusive only to the playstation 3. I wish this all would stop but I guess that it's just started to irritate Sony fans. So It should stop until someone official says else so. But i know its exclusive to PS3 do people just ignore Hideo?

[mccomber]

This story just had so many comments, I was feeling left out by not being a part of it. First day of the year and we've already got one of the "hottest" stories we'll see posted to N4G in 2008.

[qwertyuiopasdfghjkl]

I'll be playing MGS4 on a working PS3 without the worry of it just up and dying on me. Same goes for all the multiplatform games and exclusives like GT5, LPB, KZ2, Heavy Rain, etc

[goldenxbox]

I don't even care alot for this game, but there has been too many coincidences with Konami reps mentioning its coming to the 360!!!!

May be a long time after but big deal, its still confirmation from Konami the game is coming forget Kojima !!!

I admit to being a Microsoft fan, but cmon, I'm behing honest here: You have to be a delusional idiot to think Microsoft will never do better in Japan !!!!

http://64.233.183.104/searc... http://sakuraba.cocoebiz.co...

http://www.famitsu.com

Yes that is where Metal Gear Solid comes from !!!! Of course the 360 will do better in Japan dont be a fool !!!! Its new to the market and has already passed the first Xbox by over 200,000 units !!!

http://www.m-create.com

Add to that the 15 million install base worldwide its a give in !!!!

DUH !!!!

The 360 will do better in japan even if not alot better, thats a guarantee as ps3 will do better in america !!!

And that's where Metal Gears always comes from is JAPAN !!!

I admit I am not too hyped of the eventual MGS port to 360, great game but I be enjoying Splinter Cell all that entire year and not have much time for it (splinter cell got online too!) but I do want all to enjoy the great game!

Don't be a dumb fanboy !!! Microsoft will eventually do better in japan and Sony will eventually do better in the americas, it is inevitable!!

Who cares how long, that mean more games for everybody !!!! GREAT JOB!

[Strife Lives]

Hideo Kojima is a plagerist cuz he steals elements from movies and pop culture,its the story that drives MGS. raiden,snake etc. Make it compelling. And thats where splinter cell fails. And by plagerism, I mean Snake, escape from L.A. The whole smoking thng. The whole gruff voice. i saw escape from L.A recently after many many many years and its made 2 years b4 MGS 1 and alot of plot elements were taken by Hideo. Even how Snake in the movie take that submarine onto the island.same as snake in the game. Or even, I mean even, Foxdie in mgs to the virus they injectd into Snake in the movie. Oh wel, i dnt care. i want this 360 side, or I'd just buy it on ps3

[batosaims]

mass effect is microsoft published and exclusive rights to bioshock were bought thats how we know those games wont be on the ps3

mgs4 is a different story though
im not saying this rumor is true im saying is konami cant make back the production cost soon after mgs4 release they may have to release a 360 version

also i get the feeling konami is staying quiet about a 360 version to increase ps3 sales since mgs4 is the main reason to get a ps3

360 has better games though but mgs4 coming tot he 360 is a very real possibility

[aceman7]

They have been working on the 360 version along with the PS3 one but yet the 360 version comes out a year after?

HMMMMMMM.......

[revsnake]

we had all the other metal gears whats stoping us from this one a bit later

[greenenvy]

...on my brand new hella quiet, built to last falcon 360...but a year later? give me a break konami....

holy sh!!t, do you guys not like money.......we're not going to buy anything for mgs4 when we can beat it in a rental.....

and hell, one year is such a long time......mgs4 is no halo 3 or gears of war.....with splinter cell 5 coming out, we ain't too hyped for it..

i'm being honest here......

lots of people couldn't give two sha#@s less about it but make sure the game comes out 6 months later......not a year later. don't be dumb and make the same mistake another company made *cough cough* when porting a game over to ps3.......

as for the others, yeah its true bioshock's rights were basically purchased........it wont ever come to the ps3.....

but lets say it did.....by that time we'd have already beat splinter cell more than a dozen times, and even metal gear solid 4....who cares...not me..

and oh yeah....funny how ps3 fanboys are always around to talk sh*t, but we 360 fans are not and we're not online since we're too busy enjoying all our amazing games for 360......what a shocker...

oh and the falcon 360 is hella quiet.....i have never had one red disk/scratch/error or problem of any kind....

oh yes I do think microsoft should sell the falcon 360....that should be the ONLY model being sold in stores far as im concerned

they would sell a hell of a lot more units thats for sure, then bundle it with forza 2.....

whats the matter sony fanboys? cant stand great games? i hear you all jealous over forza 2, gears of war & mass effect in this topic even though you know they're published MS first party games......

you will never EVER see those games on ps3.......i mean like ever...

not even in a blue moon since they are MS published.....

now i ask you one question.......is metal gear solid sony published?

hell no............so never say never...with games like that....

>'-D

[heyheyhey]

do you even realise that you just contradicted yourself there- first you said that those 360 games will (and i quote) "never EVER be on the ps3" and then yo went on to say "never say never"

to further prove yourself as an idiot you also said that mass effect and bioshock are a first party games and cant be released on ps3 well newsflash asshole- mass effect is owned by EA (and we all know how much they love to keep their games exclusive, right? RIGHT!?) and bioshock is owned by take two and not i repeat NOT by your precious M$. so there is every chance these games will come to ps3, in fact mass effect is already under speculation by EA for a ps3 release and as for bioshock, there is ps3 code in it suggesting that take two always had a ps3 game in mind and you know what, they probably did and will release it

so basically you did a great job of proving how dumb you are (and it is so obvious that you want to play mgs4 dont even try and hide it)

[Creep]

bottom line is that until this is comfirm by hideo kojima then we will know if the game is on the three sixty.

[MANTIIS]

Who cares about this flamebait? I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was true. What matters most is that the game will be over a year old, and will have already done its work selling systems for the Sony. If 360 gets PS3's sloppy seconds...who cares. There are no such thing as true third party exclusives any more. Watch and see when Ninja Gaiden II takes the form of Sigma 2 on PS3 sometime in '08 or '09. The one third party exclusive that I would really be surprised to go over to 360 would be FFXIII. I don't think that will happen. Sony has enough killer first party titles, as well...which nobody will truly never see on another system. Once again, whether this article is true or just some jealous xbot drivel, fact is, I would not doubt a MGS 360 at some point, but anyone who wants to play it within a year to year and a half after the PS3 version, can only play it one one system- PS3. The title is STILL a PS3 exclusive.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

this article just hit one of my favorite web-site.
http://kotaku.com/339337/th...

[aba]

Sorry but its the opposite. 360 owners play to play, were swimming in games. PS3 owners on the other hand, need the exclusives because they don't have any. I think the attach rates speak for themselves.

EDIT: Ok where the f**k have you been? All i've ever heard from the PS3 fanboys is how bad and overrated Mass Effect is, just like they say about every 360 exclusive. For Christ's sake man when DMC 4 was announced multiplatform they sent a goddamn crybaby petition to capcom.

[NinjaRyu]

How come this site has PS3 fanboys wanting to play are games like ME & NG2 when some site says it going to come to the PS3. Then another site proves that the game is a 360 exclusive the all the PS3 fans on this site say things along the lines of " Man.... F@#$ ME & NG2 I didn;t wanna play those game anyways.

[goldenxbox]

Sorry but you cant say ninja gaiden 2 will be ported as "SIGMA" because remember ninja gaiden 1 was published by TECMO !!!!

But who is ninja gaiden 2 published by, thats Microsoft !!!!

ninja gaiden 2 is a LOCK in that it will always be exclusive, because you can't port something if it is published second party!!!! Hey its called the rules !!!! 8-)

[Blademask]

Seriously... 400 RESPONSES GUYS!?!?

FOR A RUMOR!!?!

ITS FLAME BAIT!!!

CAPS

off.

cheers

Edit:

XBOTFAMILY & THE ROUND PEG?!?! You've got to be kidding me guys. How did all of you get tangled into this one?

Its like if Zhuk made a blog, and posted this info.

[heyheyhey]

wait a sec let me get this straight you actually believe the xbox will beat the ps3 in Japan. well that is the most retarded thing i have heard in a very long time. you must be forgetting that the 360 is currently bombing in Japan and they havnt got any games that will entice them either. the ps3 has many japan-pleasing exclusives such as ff13(they go nuts over FF and when it gets released the ps3 will get sold out there) yakuza: kenzan, white knight story, imabikisou (japan only game) and they will probably go nuts over mgs too while the xbox has some pretty great titles lined up- they will mostly only interest americans and europeans so im sorry but xbox is and will seriously bomb in japan

[prowiew]

HIDEO KOJIMA NEED AMERICAN DEVELOPERS FOR THIS GAME. METAL GEAR IS A MESS GAMEPLAYWISE. THEY HAVE TRY FPS GAMEPLAY AND IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER PLAYED. IT TRIES TO BE A STEALTH GAME BUT EVERY ENEMY SPOT YOU NO MATTER WHAT. THE CHARACTER IS ALMOST UNCONTROLABLE. THE CAMERA SUCKS. THEY HAD TRY TO MAKE THIS GAME APPEAL TO AMERICANS BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO MAKE GREAT GAMEPLAY. I HOPE THEY FIX A LOT OF THIS THINGS FOR MGS4. BECAUSE IF NOT, IT WILL SUCKS LIKE EVERY OTHER MGS RELASED. MY HUMBLE OPINION.

[THE_JUDGE]

GET REAL! IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!

[KiLleR32]

first thats 12 to 14 months, no matter what 360 assholes have to wait until 2009. second the graphics are going to suck ballz. the MGS4 game is made 4 the ps3, but since the create of MGS4 doesn't want to feel sorry for the assholes who have 360 he is making it for both ps3 and 360.

[SUPER360RPGWONDER]

He never said anything about the 360 outselling the PS3 in japan!!!

He said it will do better in japan than it has before, and that's a start!!!!!

You talk all about games like FF13, but what do you think the 360 is with games like Blue Dragon 2 and Infinite Undiscovery??

Don't discount the 360's place in japan, it will do better than before even if not beat the ps3 just as ps3 will in america even when it doesn't beat the 360!!!!!!!!!!

What he said was true, give it a rest and stop seeing everything by sony lenses for once!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FungLip]

Don't discount 360 in Japan; okay but if you're a Japan developer, would you release a game in Japan that targets Japanese gamers on the 360 instead of the Wii or PS3? I know I would ONLY if MS pays me to.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

that said the game isnt coming to the 360? it doesnt matter if it isnt or whatever because all ill have to do is get my ps3 back from my brother and play it when it comes out this year. =P

[MaGx3D]

I Hope The 360 Fans Are Happy But....There Is Some Bad News That Kojima Stated In His Prelaunch Interview Of MGS4......He Didnt Say It Was Coming To The 360......He Said It Could, But Then He Also Said That There Was Things In The Game That Was Only Capable On The PS3......If You Dont Believe me Search It Up.........Google Kojima MGS4 Prelaunch Interview

[Panthers]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE STORIES DOING ON THE FRONT PAGE. THEY ARE OLD!

[nbsmatambo]

i was like wtf

[Killjoy3000]

Yeah there must be something wrong here. I thnk all of the hottest news ever published is up on the front page for some reason.

[lilmetal]

WTF is up with all this old ass BS on the front page...?

[conorgill14]

I CANT BELIEVE IT XBOX FAMILY IS REPORTING THAT... oh wait. this is a 11 month old story and xbox family also broke the news on the sixaxis 360 controller.

[villevalorox]

wtf? why r these on top?

[Blaze929]

Is something going on? All three of these stories are old as hell

[SantanaClaus89]

WHO IN THE HELL approved a 9 month old story that has already been de-bunked about 50 times? Seriously are you people retarded?

[Meus Renaissance]

Someone saw his friend play it on the PS3 and got a little envious.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Oh noes teh h@x??!

[bigman7387]

It's not April is it?

[I Make Stuff Up]

is becoming a fking joke.

[bebojet]

why don't you xbox fans just get a ps3 since all y'all do is wait for ps3 exclusives to go multiplat?

[PirateThom]

Lol, and then the game came out and there was no way it would ever appear on any Microsoft platform.
