MGS4 should teach Bioshock how to do a proper ending.

1.5 - Good games should be made available for all.
Not everyone has PS3, therefore MGS4 for 360 sounds right.

I wouldn't be surprised. Microsoft has made it clear that their priority this gen is to take out PS3 games. No point making games of your own when you can just buy PS3 games:). Sooner or later there will be nothing left that they can buy though.

But seriously if it did come out for 360 i would buy it again cus its too awesome:D. Can't wait to own some 360 noobs in MGO:D.

Wow can't believe i actually want this:S

I'm sure it's possible, there would just have to be compromises (diminished audio/video quality, etc). Of course, all of that would take development time so even if this were true it wouldn't be out for the 360 until some time next year.

By then it wouldn't matter if the 360 got it or not. I'm sure a few people would buy it for the 360 but it wouldn't move any consoles. It makes no sense for Konami or MS to do this. Neither benefit at this point.

@eric100 -

do some research before you open your mouth and let words pour out without engaging your brain.
Hideo Kojima has previously said that MGS4 is possible on the 360. Not taking into account the storage capacity of Blu-ray.
The hardware is very capable.

I hope this happens, just to see some fanboys jump out of the wondow, cry out, run naked in the street... just like when FFXIII was announced for 360. It just cracks me up when I think about e3 2008.

"Hey mister, what happened to you?"
"WE've lost an exclusive!!!" oh my GAD!!

First one to jump would be.... Eric/Cahill/AlexM (yes, I noticed it's all the same guy)

Don't start with that power crap.. Kojima himself said that it COULD be done on the 360. And, here is a link: http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/a...
As, falviousuk has already stated.

@Cenobia - I disagree that it wouldn't move consoles on the 360, and disagree that it wouldn't benefit MS or Konami. Regardless, there is and will be people that won't buy a PS3, so if they wanted MGS4, they would now be able to pick it up on the 360. And, Konami would benefit because, as everybody likes to say, MS would probably "bribe" Konami, so they would still get money in that sense. And, for MS it's just another PS3 exclusive game lost, regardless if it comes out a year later.. look at BioShock, or Oblivion.

MGS4 is coming to the 360... Did you know they are making a FFVII remake too? Yeah, there is also a chance that Duke Nukem Forever will be released this year and not to mention it but Allan Wake is slated for a January relase 2009! Yay for rumors!

1.20 - Well...
I'll tell you one thing that would make it BETTER on 360 (for me at least): Achievements.

I'd have no problem buying it again for my 360 and beating and getting all the achievements. The game is definitely that good. Honestly, they could just have one disc per act and it would take less time than the installations did on the PS3.

Yeah, it could be done on 360, on December 16, 2005

The game changed a lot in a 2 and a half years, I doubt it could be now, since Kojima also said more recently it couldn't be done on 360.

Thank you. Perhaps I was not clear enough for some but you caught exactly what I was getting at. This is rumor and speculation and is silly. It's as silly a rumor as it was a year ago and will be just as silly a year from now.

It's coming out next year and it's called Splinter Cell Conviction...

Really anyone noticed how when MGS4 came out Splinter Cell got push to 2009?

1.24 - Bubbles @ Falvious and Arrgg, glad to see somebody sensible
It is always troubling to discover that, despite plentiful and obvious evidence... some people will still choose to believe a lie. Truly, the lie that Sony would have joe consumer believe is that the Ps3 is a whole head and shoulders above the competition, in reality, it is surprisingly even...

before its release, i really believed that the ps3 would blow xbox360 out of the water... it never happened

Well if the game does come next year i'm sure they will reward 360 owners with more hours of gsmeplay. Your right though because I don't think 360 gamers will just settle for a movie like PS3 got pretty much. ;p

Hmmmm. Who cares? I already played this game and beat it (one of the best games ever). If and when this game comes out for the 360, I will still be playing many of the 1st Party Sony exclusives.

I find it very unlikely but the sales would be through the roof. The game (a little bloated IMO and not my fav in the series) is very good and should be played by all interested parties. I am not sure how many discs it would come with though. Dunno the numbers but I don't think that it sold how Sony or Hideo anticipated and it would easily sell 2.5-3.5 million for the 360.

@Falvious + arggh - The main thing you need to look at in the article you posted "US, December 16, 2005", 2.5 years before the game was released.

http://360.kombo.com/articl... - 16 July 2008 - "Kojima MGS4 on 360 'Probably Not Possible,' Wishes People Would Stop Asking".

Obviously the game is possible on 360, but the graphics would probably need to be downgraded quite a bit. Either way it would be good for 360 only owners, but I have a feeling that the xbots are all talk and won't buy this game, they'll just be like "hahahah we got your exclusive game" but won't actually play it or buy it.

MGS4 > Bioshock (although both are great games, but MGS4 is in a completely different league of awesome)

The story is interesting if you have the attention span to go with it. And if you don't know any of the back story, the twists and some of the plot isn't going to make a whole lot of sense. I loved every minute of that game but I also understand that some people aren't going to.

1.38 - If it DID happen, it would cost a lot of money
MGS4, unlike FFXIII, MGS4 was built on a PS3-specific engine, meaning they would have to do a lot of recoding and extra optimization.

A rumor is a rumor until confirmed, and I'm doubting it is true. MS just had TGS and e3. If they announce this in 2009--I'm pretty sure everyone and their mom will already have a Ps3 and MGS4 who's wanted it.

it will NEVER happen, Kojima said it over and over and over and this is the quote from the article

"For the record, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and there are no plans to develop an Xbox 360 version of the game,"

here you go http://www.shacknews.com/on...

its never gonna happen damn! get over it.

What would they do with all the Sony Playstation references?? Would they remake those sections with Xbox ones or what? Some just wouldn't make any sense though. Just a thought

The ps3 got MGS 4 first , and it was considered to be great so it should be left at that! No need to port it over to the 360.

Besides, if the sony fanboys were right, it won't sell that much on 360 anyway! I am glad MGS 4 has done well so far, but I feel that porting this over so late would be a waste of time. And since the 360 is so weak compared to the Ps3(says the fanboys), it would probably lack in quality and have other technical problems like a mandatory 20 minute install of 5.7 Gb's, like Devil May Cry 4 did... wait a tic...LOL!

if konami want to do it on 360,fine no problem do it,more gamers can enjoy it

to me the most important thing is to use ps3 potential(blu ray-cell) and then port it

not like gta 4

I wish that gta 5 is a ps3 exclusive

The game just wasn't that good

I don't know why gamers get their panties in twist over this

If 360 owners want a 5 disc MGS4 game then let them

Maybe people will stop praising Hideo for his "meh" games

Take all the bubbles you want. This site has become pretty craptacular

1.46 - MGS4 is and forever will be a game for the fans.
If you are not a fan then you a) didn't get the story cause you thought it was just a shooter with no substance or b) didn't get it because you would need to buy a PS3 and you did not think the game was worth the extra console. It's not a bad thing to not ba fan of MGS4, but being one myself, I have to say that the games as a series are pretty remarkable and make for some great game play. But that is all just MHO.

After the New Xbox Experience there won't be such thing at the "Red Ring of Death" The update will give all 360s the Red Ring of Death so it will become the 360's common light color. The new term will be "Green Ring of Hope" in the rare case where your 360 actually functions properly before crashing 1 day after the warranty expires.
