IGN AU's Pre-E3 Predictions

Revealing Metal Gear Solid 4 Coming to 360
Percentage Chance: 80%

Moore's tattoo will reveal what we've long expected - the next instalment of the Metal Gear Solid saga will launch on 360 alongside the PS3 version. After Kojima's recent comments that the game was able to run on 360 hardware, this would suggest that Kojima Productions is experimenting with the hardware.

[deepujatt2005]

if Kojima's annouces at E3 that MGS is coming to 360 there will be lots of broken hearts of PS3 fans..
and i am one of them.

in my opinion MSG will never go to 360..

[REbirth]

mgs 2 substance gone for xbox and pc too...so i really think that this one (mgs4) has lot of oportunities to go in 360...probably one year later than the ps3 with the name mgs4 SUBinsistence

[hazeblaze]

I think that some form of MGS will definitely end up on the 360. It just won't be the MGS4 that we are all enjoying come Christmas time. And if it ends up on the 360 a year later, who cares? PS3 owners still get their immediate enjoyment and those that are stuck on the 360 still get to enjoy the game later too... it's a win for everyone.

[God of Gaming]

well MGS Substance was on the original Xbox, I can see a new MGS game but most likely NOT MGS 4

[Anything but Cute]

Please why dude? n4g that desperate for hits?

[ichimaru]

IT WOULD MAKE SENSE. considering the price of production, and the 360's installbase. and like the guy in the article said, why would they just experiment on the 360. he did say it was able to be done on the 360. i would'nt mind using 8 disk lol

[Anything but Cute]

Are they serious or WTF? If that's true don't even bother with the PS3 predictions because there is no more PS3.

[Vojkan]

Did people even listen to yesterdays Ryan Blogs podcast where they announced new trailer for E3?
If you didn't let me tell you that they said that they will appear during Sony press conference and Konami one. Nothing about Microsoft was even hinted.
I think fanboys just want to see this game on 360 just so that they can trash talk about it.

[Loudninja]

At firts it siad MGS3 was on hte orginal xbox

[ReconHope]

wasn't on the xbox was it?
~Bubbles Appreciated~

[USMChardcharger]

Yes and it had extended content. i am sure you can find any old article about it. teamxbox.com would have it in their search banks.

[Maldread]

Sorry, but you`re wrong. MGS3 was on PS2 and PC only, but not Xbox :
http://ps2.ign.com/objects/...

And that`s the same for Subsistence too, which was PS2 only :
http://ps2.ign.com/objects/...

It was on Xbox with MGS2: Substance, but that`s it :
http://ps2.ign.com/objects/...

As for seeing MGS4 on 360, i see no reason why it couldn`t run on the machine, because it dosn`t use CGI which would indicate Blu-ray was needed, and i don`t think it`s beyond GoW graphically from what we have seen so far. I think it comes down to Kojima and Konami if we`ll see it on 360. But if it`s makes an appearance on 360, i think it will be a year lather, as with Substance, since it didn`t do that well on Xbox anyway.

[johnnywit]

Game developers are not the same as they use the be. With the cost of production going up more and more developers are going multi platform.
Assassins Creed, fight night,and Devil may cry were suppose to be Ps3 exclusives. They were shown at sony's E3 05 booth and now there own 360. Think like the head of a huge gaming company. You have so many people putting money into your game that eventually you have to do what you can to get it back. This is not a 360 or PS3 thing, it's the fact that making games today can cost you 20 mill.

[Shadow Flare]

I don't want to see mgs4 on the 360. I think all Peter Moore will be showing is a tattoo of Beautiful Katamari...and moore will try to big it up beyond belief

btw, IGN US said in the playstation podcast that they reckoned it might be a 30-70 chance of MGS4 going to 360 (30% chance of it going to 360)

[Vojkan]

lol

[johnnywit]

I think petter more is going to have a tattoo of Mario galaxies. lol

[Anything but Cute]

None of the other fanboy sh*t bothers me, But this is going too far. What gives that asshole the right to write something like that? For them to say that 80% chance MGS4 luanches at the same time for XBOX 360. If that happens PS3 is dead, plain and simple. There would be no need for Sony to even have an E3.

Something has to be done about this sh*t, you can't let someone get away with just writing such bullsh*t they just pulled out of their ass.

It's just sad how this is gonna turn into a 200 post flame war, just because some idiot who has no insight just decided to post something outrageous. It just pisses me off.

I'm writing to IGN, you guys should do the same. Unless they have proof, it seems almost illegal to make these kind of comments. It almost seems more like an accusation without proof.

[ericnellie]

I guess your post means you're just a little bit upset about the whole thing. Speak your mind my friend but, the sad thing is - is at the end of the day every developer wants to make a profit or at least increase their chances of doing so. Money can be an evil thing and whenever you throw money into the mix, one of the first things to go is loyalty to a specific console. If you look at it this way - they may have more loyalty to their own company and the motivation to increase profits to better their own organizations. This is just my guess. I just wish things weren't always about money!

[hazeblaze]

No need to get so upset. If it ends up true, it's true, period. But if not, then you get to relish in the hatred of upset fanboys everywhere! Point is, we'll all know for sure over the next two weeks... Personally, I doubt the game will go to the 360 any time soon. But the truth is that there is still plenty reason to own a PS3 even if it did... which will also be shown off over the coming weeks.

[Babylonian]

Here's a predicition for you: Oh ye old fµcking bastards, I thou he yay ho foresee that ye will suck me dogs balls.

These guys are turds, only IGN US gives good predictions and Jeremy from IGN US. His predictions often come out.

But these guys need to shut the fµck up. They just copied and pasted predictions from others sites, cause all of their prediction I had read before on Kotaku, Game target, etc.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Have you all forgotten (you probably have) Kojima clearly said some time ago that they will need to sell over a million copies to get any kind of profitable return on MGS4 because its costing too much to make.

Now the only way it will stay on the PS3 is if Sony keep giving Konami donations to ensure Konami are not at a huge financial loss otherwise dont you think its awfully tempting with a userbase of over 10million on the Xbox 360 that MGS4 would make sense on a financial point of view?

The only way MGS4 wont come to the 360 is as I have already said for Sony to keep giving Konami a helping hand with money.

[okcomputer]

Selling one million copies of mgs4 on the ps3 should be a breeze for konami. I find it strange that kojima would even be worried about that when Resistance sold well over a million copies and the hype surrounding it was nowhere near as much as mgs4.

Given the higher install base that will exist by march '08 when mgs4 (hopefully) comes out, selling even two million copies of mgs4 on ps3 should be easy for them if the game lives up to the quality of the others in the series.

[Nicosia]

Resistance was pretty much a launch game, which when you buy a new console you wanna play something new. For me it came out of nowhere.

[BIadestarX]

it would be funny as hell... if this happens sony fanboys would be depressed for the next 2 years.... since they've counting on this 3rd party game to bring the ps3 to the top.

[johnnywit]

I wish that MGS4 would go to the Wii more than 360. That way every PS3 and 360 fanboy could join forces.

[Borat]

Hallo fellow gamers, wot wot wot. This Australian IGN is making crazy predictions. This is land where retard animals live. In kazakstan we do not even believe australia exists. Those who do are screamed at, "CRAZY PEOPLE". We once made a man ride a bicycle carrying goat on his back. It was fun! I like!

[Satans Cousin]

That is soooo Moronic!they can do or say whatever they want,you don't own I.G.N stop being a turd for once in your life,Konami can do what the fudge it wants,too bad for ps3 this is gonna happen,xbox360 will Dominate ps3 and flaunt it's huge library of games at it,dont fight it sony is going down now,so come next year prepare your coffins for your Crapstation 3.

[Says you]

Thing and plus if ichimaru believed another person when Kojima only said its possible it doesnt mean it can happen that the game can work on the XBox 360 he would have to be that stupid to believe in everyway from another person when this is Kojimas own words that its possible when he means that it only states that it might work which I doubt anyway ichimaru is stupid for twisting Kojimas words when he didnt even say that!

this article is twisting Kojimas words thats not what exactely he said at all he said it was possible not able!.

[Nicosia]

No to be offensive, but kinda hard to read out what your saying.

[ichimaru]

wow slow simmer down a bit kiddo. a little passionate about this lifeline of 3rd party game aren't we. my bad for misconstruing words like that. you like mgs that bad? buy it for the ps3, i still think there is a signifigant chance of it coming to the 360. thats my opinion i hope it does. no need to get angry, if it doesn't, i have plenty of others to play. i'm not gonna make a list, cuase frankly i have a life. but make no mistake if this mgs dosen't cross platforms the next one will. garanteed.

[Ares84PS3]

This is getting insane. It has been reconfirmed like a 100 times already that MGS4 will NOT go to the 360 for various resons.
Kojima himself said it not once that it's a PS3 exclusive ONLY! First of it was designed for the PS3 and to use the Blu-ray. Kojima what's to use the 50gig Blu-ray. How are they gonna do that on Xbox? They will have a disc for every level or what? MGS4 on 6discs? No way. But it was comfirmed already many times that's a PS3 exclusive. MGS4 has the same chances to go to the 360 as Halo 3 has to go to the PS3. End of story!

[tehcellownu]

Kojima said it cant be run on the 360...and that it will require true HD like the PS3 and he said it exclusive..where the hell they get th 80 percent from? lol..let the rumors die..this e3 when they dont announce it for the 360 people can shut up..lol..

[ben hates you]

moore's crazy he makes me laugh, i kinda like him from the interviews i've read, but 10% 90% 30% 50% 80% are just predictions, doesn't mean that much

[risk]

they say on the xbox section that mgs4 has 80% chance to be multi platform. but then in the ps3 section it says 25% chance that it will be exclusive...where did they get the extra 5%? their ass?

[kevoncox]

Seeing that you are at home reading websites and they are...you know actually talking to developers for a living. Will MGS go to 360? IDK. However, I am not stupid enough to say it won't. Just a few months ago, i never thought DMC 4 would go to 360, Seeing that xbox games probally don't know the story.

Inclosing STFU. MGS4 going to the 360 only affects you if you have...you know a 360. If you have a ps3..guess what? It's still coming to your console.

[SF49er408]

ms just said "screw it" and threw 100 mil for mgs4. thas why sonys guys were all "unlike ms we dont buy our exclusives"if i was konami id be drooling over the wii and the 360. over 20 million consoles compared to 4 mil from sony. if it comes to 360 there will be a dumbed down version for the wii and prob ds

[SimmoUK]

MGS4 will only be shown at Sony's and Konami's press confrence at E3 that's a FACT it says so in there latest podcast from konami, the person who wrote this is just a human being like us with an opinion, obviously his opinions are more Microsoft inclined, even Peter Moore has admited that they can't get ahold of this title about a month ago...

[IBLEEDBLU]

see MGS4 going to the xbox...360 just cant handle it and if it does its gonna be like 4 discs which is [email protected] - games on multi disc show how weak the system is...what is this PS1 FF7 lol like honestly

360 games are short and small - i havent seen one game yet that gives it that HOLY THIS GAME IS HUGE! which is sad again because u would think in its 2nd year - 360 games would ruin PS3 games

and all u ppl that prise that ported games look better on the 360 - well remember this - ur comparing a system that has been out a whole year ahead and dev know the hardware to a system that is hard to make games for and dev really have had no time and yet the games are almost the same hahahahahah

expect the PS3 games to increase by 50% in 2008
