MGS4 on 360 rumours gain ground

Link

I hope they're wrong, but if not, there goes another ps3 exclusive.

Pfft, PR reps are morons. These guys are literally paid to start rumors. I wouldn't lend a word of credence to anything these guys say. I will believe it when Hideo Kojima himself says they are considering it. And he has said multiple times it isn't happening.

2) Hideo keeps saying its impossible, and his the boss so yea...

Hitler was the boss of the Nazi political party and he lied...


Seriously though i really hope this does not get ported to Xbox 360.

1) MGS takes up like 50GB of the blue-ray drive, Xbox's couldnt even handle that much memory, so Xbox gamers will love MGS on 10 disc's im sure.

6 actually. The 360 use DVD9 so they can put approcimately 8.5 GB on each disk. Plus when NXE is released on the 19th the 360 will gain optional HDD installs. The 360 could manage, it would just be cumbersome.

Additionally since MGS4 is so optimized for the PS3 it wouldn't be a simple port job. The game would have to be completely rewritten. So if they haven't started work on it yet then it would likely take a year or more to port it over if ever.

Personally i don't care if it happens there are some games that should be available for all platforms to play. The Xbox 360 had theirs which is BioShock and we are getting that, personally Metal Gear Solid 4 is an experience no matter how 360 gamers get it, i would want them to enjoy this beast of a game.

Why must we return to this topic again and again?

Because Konami keeps bringing it up. Or rather nnoying reporters with nothing better to do keep asking people from Konami. Which forces them to give some sort of cliched answer which then has to be reported and cause yet another stir.

you forgot to mention MGO is on the disk as well, and they could drop the MGO data if it does go 360

I would have said this was bull a couple of months ago, but after FFXIII and Tekken 6...

Hope it doesn't happen
