I find it hard to be MGS4 for 360. First of all alot of content has to be pulled out. Second, It's not like MGS4 sold poorly on the PS3. Its 4.7 million copies. But hey, I could be wrong.

Unlikely to be MGS4 on 360.

Most likely to be Metal Gear Ac!d

Most likely a DSi game.

The power button is a universal symbol.

Nowhere in that message does it say,to me at least, that it is a 360 title. More likely a mobile game.

Oh Kojima is obviously hinting at all the gadgets in the next Metal Gear will be energy efficient. Everything will solar powered, wind powered, water powered etc. This also means no 360 version because with all the fautly hardware Kojima does not want to make a graphics intensive game that would contribute to more hardware failures than there already is.

Oh shoot in 4 minuites n4g will run out of energy and shutout. Kojima was right!

"A" next Metal Gear Solid...

"A"c"!"d

Emphasis on the vowels, and the world "next"

The last one could still be 360 or PC, maybe even both...

But I think it's an Ac!d game

AAACE5 - 384 days 1 hour ago

The symbol at the end looks like the one in the middle of the on/off button for the 360, so it is possible that there is a MGS game coming to 360!

Even though MGS 4 sold extremely well on Ps3, Konami does love their money... Remember they ported MGS 2 over to Xbox 1. So I wouldn't rule it out.

Now that MGS 4 has sold to many Ps3 owners, they could have been using this time to alter the game for the 360!

I can't remember who, but some MS person said a couple weeks ago, that there will be some surprises for 2009 for the 360... and after the FFXIII announcement... I believe anything is possible!

its gonna be mgs4 subsistance (or w/e the expansion is called) coming to 360 and ps3.

!( means MGS4) + !(the other way around means the extra content and VR training) = (360 power button which is green)

Funny how all big 360 surprises is games becoming multiplatform. I really hope for 360 owners sake that they have something more to look forward to then games going multiplat in 09. Like say, something new and exciting? I mean i wouldnt mind seing Halo come to PS3(i know its not going to happen) but id much rather have a new game. After all if i really want halo i could just buy a 360.

And if there is any 360 owners out there that wants MGS4 then you should buy a PS3. I assume you have a HD-TV, so you are going to want a blu-ray player anyway. I guess the most stupid thing to do from a gamers standpoint would be to buy a 360 and then buy a standalone blu ray player. PS3 is the highest performing blu-ray player on the market(probably because of the cell, which ironically makes it the most powerfull game system aswell) and its not one of the most expensive.

No more crying because you miss out on visually mind-blowing games like Killzone2. No more denying that upscaled dvds just wont cut it. No more living in fear that your favourite game is going to get scratched and destroyed. No more acting as if RROD dont bother you because you get a new one(RROD? Console? both?) in 2 weeks.

The answer to all your problems is closer then you think.

Get a PS3,
it will set you Free! (Yes it actually rhymes)

I don't think this is MGS4 on the 360. A surprise is better suited to that kind of announcement.

I also don't think it has anything to do with the 360, green is the colour of the codec, and the circle thing is a universal power indicator.

I think it's either remakes, or an Ac!d game.

Even if its for the 360 there is nothing you can do about it. So everyone handle the possibility this gen is significantly different than any previous generation of gaming. There may only be PC gaming in the future at this rate or one platform hopefully next gen. Whatever they do it's there choice as developers. Think about it the WII is #1 this gen no one could have really predicted its success and is very underpowered graphically to the other consoles so I'd just let the chips fall where they may.

UltimateIdiot911 - 384 days 2 hours ago

I agree, aside from speculating from what this next metal gear game is, I thought Kojima is done with the Metal Gear series and wants to move to new titles.

I think it's a portable title, they already have MGS on Verizon phones. I say DSi or PSP are the two most likely possible.
OR
it could be one of those substance/subsistence/existenc e? version for MGS4 on PS3.

Nah. They said Metal Gear was still going to go on, but Snake was finished. Or something like that.

Metal Gear 1 was originally on the MSX, and later on ported to the Nes.

Konami in the far past worked with Microsoft before, Konami became big by developing games for the MSX.

somekindofmike - 384 days 2 hours ago

Kojima himself might not want to produce a remake, but it might get outsourced like Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes. which was a really good port apart from the new music and matrix style slow mo cut scenes!

MSX was the system I couldn't remember so just put it down as 'other system'

Anyway what we can probably all presume is unless this just is MGS4 for 360 (which would be a disappointment for me, as it's nothing new) it's going to be a long long way away.

PirateThom - 384 days 2 hours ago

Yes, but bar phone games (which Kojima Productions don't work on), they haven't been on a non-PlayStation platform since the formation of Kojima Productions which was formed partly BECAUSE MGS2 was ported to XBox and Kojima never wanted to have his games ruined by shoddy porting again.

somekindofmike - 384 days 2 hours ago

agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if this amounts to nothing... just konami having some fun.

like previously said the next proper Metal Gear game is probably a long way off. 2 years or so. so this could just turn out to be MGS1 released via xbox live or PSN more likely (i didn't think PS games made it to Xbox Live)

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

Foxgod - 384 days 1 hour ago

true, and we all know MS is the only one that can make Konami a giant again, just like in the msx days, when konami developed a Sload of games for the msx.

Speaking of which, how awesome would it be if konami would (re)make a new Knightmare (Maze of galious) for the 360 and ps3.

Jason 360 - 384 days 2 hours ago

It's just as bad as the Halo and Gears going PS3 rumors. Rumors like this get tight wads like Nasim's panties in a bunch, so it's kinda comical. Most people ether know better or just don't care, some care to much and it's funny as hell. I love provoking fans on N4G, there is never a shortage of dumbasses that fall for it.

Some would call it fair since Gears of War 2 is coming to the PS3. On the Unreal Network internal developer forum there is a sticky that says "Do not ask for copies of Gears of War 2 on the PS3. We are only sending out copies of games that have already shipped to retail."

AngryTypingGuy - 383 days 6 hours ago

Morganfell, Gears 1 and 2 are both published by MS. The only way you'll see those two games on PS3 is if Sony pays a crapload of money. There's always a possibility of future Gears games on the PS brand, which wouldn't surprise me at some point, but you'd have to think that MS would be willing to pay a lot, and fight very hard to keep it exclusive.

On to the topic at hand. It's fair to say that at this point, since GTA and Resident Evil have seen the light and gone to the 360 as well, that MGS is the Halo of PlayStation. How AWESOME would it be if future installments were on Microsoft systems as well? I would love it.

Captainj,

Epic has already left one folder in the open by accident on their server. In it were bug reports of Gears 2 on the PS3 dealing with how they had solved issues by changing the lighting coding. Which only makes sense as the PS3 can use the Cell to handle vertex lighting. There is also discussion of how they are doing vertex coloring.

Sorry but the fact is they are not doing all of this work and sinking manpower into Q&A for nothing.

I really don't think so...either it's a completely new MGS going multiplat (very, very unlikely) or a MG Ac!d game for DSi, PSP, Wii or any other console.

Jason 360 - 384 days 2 hours ago

Metel Gear Solid 2 was multiplat 5yrs ago on the Xbox. Metal Gear has never been a true exclusive, it didn't start out on the Playstation you know. If MS, Nintendo, or Sony don't own the exclusive rights to the franchise, then saying it will never go anywhere is nieve. Shall I point out Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, Tekken, Residevt Evil, Bioshock or Grand Theft Auto?

Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report

morganfell - 384 days 2 hours ago

Shane, I would guess that it is a Wii game that is also an Xbox Live Arcade game. It is only going to make 360 owners buy a PS3 so they can get a real next gen Metal Gear game.

No what I ment Jason 3sh!tty is not that Konami/Kojima is bound to Sony. What I ment was that I don't know if they'll announce a new MG game for xbox and/or PS3 this soon.

And I'm a die hard MGS fan, I know where the game started thank you very much.

If mgs4 goes to the 360 then good luck enjoy it, it's just a game sweetheart, a Game. No need to go and pull hideo kojima from his little japanese micro hotel tube and upset his instant noodles all over his collection of schoolgirls undies darling, just relax. If the japanese want to do a little arty teasy oriental advert, let them, it probably cost millions and employed lots of people just to make thier little green advert statement, all over a game about a man in rubber trousers who pushes his very graphically defined buttocks into the air like he is desperate for some gluteal crease action. darling!

If they were going to come straight out an tell everyone, they would not have bothered with the "message" to begin with. The whole point of putting up that message is to create some hype, which it has already started to do. You don't just give away the secret within 24-48 hours because some kid on a forum can't take the suspense.
