MGS4 on 360: "It's inevitable," says highly-placed source

VG247: Following last night's shock news that Final Fantasy XIII will release on Xbox 360, VG247 has been told be a very senior UK industry source that an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 is "inevitable".

[Fishy Fingers]

And so the pointless speculation begins.

[truth for gamers]

Well MGS 2 was done for the original xbox so don't be surprised if it happens.

Also MGS4 has only sold 2 million copies on ps3, if they modified and added new content to the game maybe they can sell 2 million more on the 360.

[Alexander Roy]

"Well MGS 2 was done for the original xbox so don't be surprised if it happens."

Gotta love that "argument". Where has MGS3 been, then?
Anyway, I have faith in Kojima's words. Besides, seeing an Apple sponsored game on a MSFT console is something I can't imagine.

[NO_PUDding]

I agree eventually it will come. But I don't see any other Kojima Production games going exclsuive to the 360.

And when it does come, I imagine it will be an awful looking port, and it will be on several discs.

And that will be Konami's job.

[omni_atlas]

Wasn't there an article on N4G a while back declaring why MGSIV will NEVER hit another console?

I believe it had to do with the sponsors.

Here you go, FOUND IT: http://kotaku.com/gaming/be...

Its even from Kotaku, lol.

[ajeben809]

i highly doubt mgs4 will be making way to 360. it makes me laugh wen half of you are like yeh i new it wood happen eventually....get the fark outa here. mgs4 will not be on the 360

[Chuck Norris]

Snake using a Zune..

[jtucker78]

If Xbox gets it ... great.
It won't, because Sony are filming the MGS movie, but still, even if they get it - big deal.

A good game is a good game. The more people that enjoy it the better.

Leave the fighting over exclusives to Sony and Microsoft.

How about we trade?
MGS4 for Gears 2? :p

[FreeMonk]

So because MGS The Movie is being made by Sony Pictures, it means MGS4 won't be released on another console??

The Resident Evil movies are distributed by Sony Pictures, and the last batch of Resident Evil games have been on the Nintendo Wii. RE5 is coming to both PS3 AND X360. So that has nothing do to with it.

To me it doesn't matter if the release MGS4 on the X360 as I own a PS3 and a copy of MGS4 on that, but my guess is that Konami may not have made the big profit they had hoped.

Yes, MGS4 did extremly well in Japan, USA and Europe, but when compared to the Multi-platform sales of Grand Theft Auto 4, in which the X360 sold a considerable more copies than the PS3, it's good business sense to bring some of that revenue back.

These games don't cost thousands to make, they cost Millions, and they need to make the cash back to continue making new games. If they don't make a profit, they can't make new titles.

It's about time Third-Party companies start thinking about the fans and not just the fanboys. Everyone should experience MGS4, it's an amazing game, but unfortunatly at the moment, it's only available to a select few.

Square Enix have had the balls to say, right lets make everyone happy but also make some cash on it. Hopefully for all the X360 owners, Konami have the same idea and gives those 360 owners the chance to play one of the best games of the year!

Unfortunatly, the Sony fanboys will disagree and cry, but it's there opinion.

Oh and for people saying it won't fit on one DVD disc. It probably won't, but if they ship it on 5 discs and you have to swap between acts, it will still be faster to get up and swap the disc over than wait 3 minutes for an install.

[kewlkat007]

It was thought that Final Fantasy was impossible, since we have seen a MG game on the Xbox brand before..

After the impossible happened yesterday, now anything is possible.

Nothing is safe.

[morganfell]

No truth for gamers your figures are completely wrong. MGS4 has sold more on the PS3 to date than Mass Effect sold on the 360. Telling all the lies in the world won't make it come to the 360.

[MikeGdaGod]

there still aren't any games that are coming only on the 360 i want. MS press conference confirmed it.

they want PS3 games, if i have a PS3, i don't need a 360.

[sticky doja]

"MGS4 has sold more on the PS3 to date than Mass Effect sold on the 360."

Your right it has sold more, but only 100,000 more accourding to VGcharts which isn't alot considering that:
1) Mass Effect had to challenge the likes of COD4, Halo 3, Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3 that all came out around the same time for sales.
2) Mass Effect is a new IP.
3) Mass Effect is an RPG that doesn't have Final Fantasy in the title
3) MGS4 comes as a bundle pack with the 80gb.

The fact that the number sold is so close really suprises me considering.

[Bloodwar]

Xbox didn't have a larger user base than the PS2. Xbox 360 does have a larger user base than the PS3.

[Pika-pie]

If you had suggested that MGS4 would come to the 360 to me 2 days ago I would call you crazy... Now I wouldnt be surprised one bit.

If sony would allow FFXIII to go then they would just as easily allow MGS4 to go.

[JustinSaneV2]

@ajeben809

And how many people said the same thing about FFXII?

[DaTruth]

Does anyone even think it could run on the 360? seriously?

[JustinSaneV2]

@DaTruth

I don't see any reason why it couldn't. Please enlighten me with your reasoning if you can.

[travelguy2k]

I mean they ould have announced it if it was coming. Also, if they start now porting it to the 360 it would still take more than a year before <kojima would think it was good enough and by then, who cares?

[Organic_Chemistry]

Why would xbox fans want MGS4? Last and most recently from what I remember reading, MGS4 according to many xbox fans is nothing more than a crap cinematic game! Why would they even want such a "poor quality" game. These xbox idiots are such fvcking hypocrites~!!!!!!!!

[JustinSaneV2]

I'm pretty sure that was most of the gaming industry media that said MGS4 was a cinema-fest.

[Omega4]

It was more likely that MGS4 was going to 360 than FFXIII cause of the stupidly large amount of rumours and now that the impossible has happened (360 FFXIII) this seems as likely as another Halo game

[LaChance]

sound too fanboyish right now but in one night the PS3 has become almost irrelevant to me.

I was drooling over final fantasy 13 since they came out with the first trailer back in 2006.

I was telling myself I would get a PS3 in 2009 probably to play MGS4 and FF13 (and maybe GOW3 but alot less than MGS4 and FF13)

You might think Im lying but those 2 games were the only 2 games that would "FORCE" me to buy a PS3.The PS3 has other good games but nothing you cant live without.

I mean games like LO , NG2 , Dead Risng are very good games too that PS3 gamers would want to see on the PS3 but Im sure you guys can live without them.The same goes for me concerning 98% of PS3 exclusives.

FF13 going multiplat has just made the PS3 irrelevant to ALOT of 360 owners I think.

[matchgrade]

The Final Fantasy series is a bit dead. The series hasn't evolved since FFX. They put out FFXI and FFXII, and nobody really cared. And with the release of MGS4, which takes the cake for best storytelling, graphics, art direction, and production values, of course Square Enix would want to go multiplatform to save sales and profits.

And what better way to start doing that than by taking a big-a$$ bribe from MS.

[GotAmmo]

I really dont care if MGS4 comes out for the 360, to me its an experience every gamer should have. But my biggest gripe is hardware issues with the 360. People buy the 360 cause between the two its cheaper, but what use is the system if its always out of commission.

[felidae]

lol@matchgrade

lol, yeah, the final fantasy series is dead .. lolol.

[cp68]

GTA, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy...there's nothnig they cannot have anymore. Sony has lost this gaming era by losing all its exclusives. The PS3 is officially a waste of money. Sony, you disappointed me.

[Fishy Fingers]

Dont be a drama queen. It's one computer game, you havent even seen what Sony have in their keynote. Maybe a little early to be quite so dramatic.

[cp68]

you tell me, what inovation have sony announced since 2006? We have been hearing the same thing over and over again: Killzone2, LittlebigPlanet, and Playstation HOME. And it will be the same tonight.

[Fishy Fingers]

why not get shoot of your PS3 and get an xbox then if you feel cheated. But then that leads me to ask what innovation MS has come up with? Because after they're keynote yesterday I see nothing but Sony/Wii ideas. Avatars (wii), Lips (singstar), In The Movies (eyetoy) etc.

At least hold off until E3 is done before you write anyone off.

[ChampIDC]

I would never say the PS3 is a waste of money, but it is starting to lose a little ground in the software area. Sony is going to have to pull out something big at E3 to make up for it.

[matchgrade]

Either it doesn't happen, or most people will own PS3s by the time it does.

And there are way too many PS references and Xbox jokes in the game for it to be ported to 360. It's about as likely to happen as Halo coming to PS3.

Dead in the software area? Sounds more like Microsoft to me. What have they got coming? Gears 2, that's about it.

FFXIII? Please. You parade about that now, but I doubt any shooter-loving 360 owners will actually end up buying it. I doubt many people outside Japan will buy it, for that matter. I'm surrounded everyday by 360 gamers, and I have never heard any of them express a desire to play Final Fantasy.

[wolfehound22]

Calm down it's not the end of the world. A lot of you guys are just plan funny on how hard your taking this. I mean if this hurts you that bad you may want to quit gaming now cause it sounds like its becoming to personal, and you may end up like one of these stories where kid kills mother for taking away game system.

I mean seriously all this talk about Square Enix betrayed Sony or Sony just got raped in the @ss by M$ or I've lost all faith in Sony. Honestly I know this is a huge annoncment, but to think that these companies are not in it for the money is just plain dumb. I mean if all these people only bought the PS3 for FF13 and are selling there systems now. First off the game wasn't even close to being released so why do u even have one. And second why only buy a system for one game whats the point that just turns out to be one expensive game.

Yes M$ made a huge annoncment that rocked the game world, but Sony hasn't even had there conference yet. So first off for MS fans to claim victory is a bit premature considering other than the FF13 annoncment all you got was a bunch of similar products that Sony and Nintendo already have. And yes I know all companies copy, but almost all of MS conference was rehashes of stuff the other companies have been doing. And secondly for Sony supporters to start to bow there head in defeat remember nonone seen the FF13 annoncment coming and there are quite a bit of first party exclusives Sony has in store.

So in closing everyone calm down relax and just wait and see what happens. Remember play games to have fun.

[cp68]

Business is all about what you have, and what they don't have. We, as console gamers, choose the console most appropriate to us depending on the games it offers. Each console has (well, should have) its own exclusive titles, those that will have a huge impact in the consumer's decision. Sony, with the ps2, succeeded. Sony, with the ps3, has failed. Sony has failed because it doesn't have any games it owns. As of today, 2 consoles are offering the same games. Why bother paying more when you can have more than what the other is offering, (meaning the ps3 is lacking so much in online features)? The 360, as of today, is the right decision. I regret purchasing my PS3 so soon, as i expected too much from sony. i relied on sony's PS2 success, but i failed.

[GotAmmo]

Hmm.... new ips or old ips does it really matter(WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME). To me MGS4 was the first Metal Gear Ive ever played it blew me away(and the story didnt lose me) Gears...well chainsaw on gun plenty of funny one liners and a decent story had me going. FF13 never played one before so it will probably be a good experience for everyone

[NO_PUDding]

I have never played a Final Fantasy, but you can bet, I WILL play Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3.

I will buy it just to prove to Square Enix that the game is a mover on the PS3. I think a lot of people will be the same, and I certainly do not want to swap discs. And since it has started development on PS3, the game will be ported to 360.

Can't wait for that video comparison.

[bruiser81]

@3.7, I dont get what you mean when you say "Sony fail because it has no games it owns"

Out of the three companies i would say MS "Owns" the least amount of games because it has the least amount of inhouse game developers, which is odd with them being a software company and all. I think you are taking this a bit far. This move that MS just pull simply evened the playing field, if the game were coming out for the 360 and not ps3 then this would be a tilt. I dont get why you would want to trade in or get rid of a system because the opposing system will be sharing the game, thats really dumb to me. Do you think that 360 gamers will get rid of their system if GEOW goes multi-plat? No! they may b!tch but thats it

[Bubble Buddy]

I still have faith in Sony, they have something planned.

[Relcom]

As soon as Microsoft Drops tons of cash it might, i'll tell you one thing though Kojima would leave Konami if that did happen. Kojima is a hornorable man and going back on your word isn't honorable.

[v1c1ous]

don't come to me with "honorable" nothing

[Testo]

I enjoy how anytime anyone says anything about a person who is in business not make money, you guys jump all over it.

If more people actually went to work and enjoyed their jobs, maybe we would have better games.

But that can't exist in your world. It's ALWAYS about money.

[Kleptic]

Kojima is the real variable in this...Kojima has publically stated on numerous occasions his feelings (of which are negative) about the 360...

So it is almost inevitable that it would not be Kojima Productions doing the port...and being that the game director was very worried that the Xbox 360, as a platform, would hurt the integrity of his 'final' game...I really could see him pushing for it to not happen...

and the game was an absolute success...it is still selling well...while every game will do better if it is on more platforms; Kojima has always been the type of person more worried about reputation and quality...if he doesn't think the 360 can match the quality of the PS3 version, you bet he will be pushing for it not to happen...

with all that said though...please, the little bits of fun made towards the 360...the iBook...the PS3 and PSP...that would take less than 10 hours to remove from the game...that is not what is stopping Konami/KP, if anything is...Its very likely related to Sony and this movie deal stuff...while Sony would help budget the film in exchange for exclusitivity on the game...or something to that nature...

Sony does not handle exclusives like MS...some hate that...some appreciate it...What I find really hard to understand is exactly what the big deal is...MGS4 is an amazing game, and is so good that there is little reason for others to not get to play it...PS3 owners get to play it right now...if it comes to the 360 eventually...so what?...

My guess though is that MS already tried this years ago...and failed at it...its almost embarrassing to get an exclusive a year later or so (look at MS's respone to Bioshock for the PS3)...MS would much rather have got the game to realese day and date with the PS3 version...that is apperantly what gets people fired up...

funny thing is though...ever since the 360 was announced...the only real thing they have done is pushed like crazy to get some PS3 games...and that they did...but, as a PS3 owner, its almost flattering that they want Sony's content so bad...Somebody sure didn't like getting absolutely wrecked alst generation...

[PirateThom]

Seriously, has anyone played MGS4?

The number of references to PlayStation, Sony Products, Apple Products and so on make a port completley unlikely and more or less impossible without cutting massive chunks of content.

Plus, Konami would never go along with Live, considering their MGO stance.

And Kojima is a major PlayStation fan, he was the one who stopped it going to 360 in the first place.

[Scarfy]

Yep.

And why do I have a feeling that port of MGS4 to the Xbox360 would suffer dreadfully in all areas...

[mistertwoturbo]

Of course, only 360-only people are the ones who don't realize that.

But come on... After this whole FFXIII debacle, anything seems possible now.

[Fishy Fingers]

Why is that? (correct me if I'm wrong) but FF use's Crystal Tools, an engine designed from day one as a multiplatform engine. This allows SE the "easy" opportunity to post over FF13.

MGS on the other hand was built solely around the PS3 hardware, that means to me it would require a huge amount of work to create a 360 version. Thats all forgetting the points Pirate Thom mentions.

[DaTruth]

at times there are like 50 guys on the screen with good A.I. Explosions everywhere,and isn't the game natively 1080p. Sorry to say, I don't think that's possible... O.k. not sorry to say.

[masterofpwnage]

dude never, this highly-placed source is probably a 360 fan who is fat and is a loser that trying to start something.

if it was then yeasterday they would have announce it

[Nemo88]

These "Inside sources" are a joke!

That quote sounded exactly like a fanboy and more hopeful specualtion than anything...."if x hapened its a slam dunk on y happening..definitely!"

[devilhunterx]

Gabe Nevell?

[Truplaya]

MGS4 on the 360 will never happen, there's about as much chance as seeing Halo3 or Gears on a PS3.

[Solid_Snake666]

are coming to ps3

[LaChance]

"MGS4 on the 360 will never happen, there's about as much chance as seeing Halo3 or Gears on a PS3"

Oh well , I guess you just confirmed that MGS4 is coming to 360.
Thats EXACTLY word for word what everybody was saying about Final Fantasy 13.

[Truplaya]

its just not going to happen. Too many PS references in the game. I doubt it would work without a hard drive too. And as the arcade 360 doesnt have one i dont think it will be ported.

[ceedubya9]

If they want to port the game over, they can port it over. Yes, there are PS specific references, but you might be surprised how quickly they could change certain things. They did it with MGS2, and I'm sure they could do it here if they want.

[Boldy]

I do remember hearing that A LOT when FF13 speculation on the 360 appeared months and months ago.

[allforcalisto]

Does it really matter?

to me it'll seem like a superfluous victory

loyalists lol of whatever camp should probably see that the "Battle for exclusives" and fanboy competition for this console war is over now

the only thing that can resurrect this dumb beef is if Sony whip out something that makes jaws drop like the original killzone trailer

hmmm or shenmue? jet set radio and team ico (tbh that's just my wish list, only shenmue would cause much of a stir)

[highdro]

u cant blame any body,its sony who shows to much arrogance to third party while ms shows love, ms pays them money no matter how much they ask for, while sony does not really like to pay for exclusive,final fantasy was paid for by ms if sony said wait we want to pay u to keep it exclusive they would have done it but they did not,...well lets wait till sony conference and see what they have in store. i hope they show us something that will make the fan bois forget about them loosing another exclusive, i could not careless because i am not a fan of rpg games but u just know a lot of sony fan bois all over the world are angry..lol.

[Varsarus]

This article is pointless, the 360 is incapable of showing the awesome visual's that the game produces, aswell as the animations of the characters, thanks to the Cell & RSX, if it were coming to 360, then Konami would of have to start ALL over again to take advantage of the 360's weak hardware....why would they do that?

Thats what you all said about Final Fantasy and DMC4, and DMC4 ended up looking better on the 360.

[truth for gamers]

@ varsarus

Resident evil 5 looks better than MGS4 IMO. If the 360 can do RE5 it can do MGS4

[AngryTypingGuy]

MGS4 could be on the 360. Not on one disc, but they could put it on their, especially if they require a hard drive installation.

[Pain]

"Once the Check Clears" always buying eh M$?

No body likes u enough to make a game for you, Unless u PAY them, so sad.

and on a side note u kids DO KNOW THAT WAS PS3 Final fantasy CG shown NOT Xbox..

[pwnsause]

"Thats what you all said about Final Fantasy and DMC4, and DMC4 ended up looking better on the 360.

That pain you feel in the back of your head! thats my foot. "

are you being sarcastic 0_o, its ok to lie once in a while, but to lie on the internet like that were people can get facts and evidence immediately about things like DMC 4, i mean seriously stop being dumb.

[TheForgotten0ne]

To the people saying that other games look just as good or better on the X360 then MGS4. Well, thats not the main reason.

There are so many different things, how many discs? We had several installs on the PS3, what will you do? There are other stuffs then Graphics defining a game. Things are going just as bad with gaiming, all about graphics as Cameras, all they need now are many Megapixels (sp?) and people thinks it's good.

There are more then graphics!

[Veryangryxbot]

This game, unlike FF13, is locked in black and white contract. Tough luck shiatty bots.

But Im anxiously awaiting for Mass effect to be announced for PS3 as EA makes more money of PS3 than 360 and seeing how Bioshocks 2kGames now loves PS3.

[zapass]

just one thing buddy: "please insert disc 4"

"That pain you feel in the back of your head! thats my foot. "

wow... you must be Mr Fantastic cuz...
That pain you feel deep in your ass! that's my big fat sixaxis.

XDDD

[Prismo_Fillusion]

I'd have to laugh if a game came out on the 360 that directly mocked the system.

"Oh yeah, this is the PS3, no need to swap disks." - Otacon

swapping disks is a lot quicker than waiting for the next chapter to install

"The opening of ACT 2" PLEASE INSERT DISK 4
"3 minutes into ACT 2" PLEASE INSERT DISK 5

[Nuclearwinter]

That was actually making fun of the PS1 not X360. It happened at exactly the same point in the game where you had to change to disc 2. It had nothing to do with 360.

[mistertwoturbo]

Ah well, Microsoft might as well just sweep up and get Gran Turismo 5 too. They have enough money to buy polyphony digital. Heck, they have enough money to buy 100 polyphony digitals.

[bleachrulez]

you had to changa the entire game... dont think ms would like to see snake using an ipod

[Opiumunkey]

They actually mentioned the ipod in their presentation of lips yesterday, which i thought was weird. Something like: You can use your zune or ipod to play your own songs and sing along bla bla bla...

Still don't think this is ever gonna happen...

[Says you]

Did Microsoft make to Epic if there game is "truly" not exclusive at all and plus Epic is a 3rd party game Sony can just dump money on Epics lap and make Gears of War on PS3 and the same thing for Gears of War 2

mistertwoturbo Polyphony digital is owned by Sony so no Microsoft can't buy them

[mistertwoturbo]

Sony dump money for Gears?

Hell, they didn't even dump money for FFXIII. What makes you think Sony can afford an IP like gears.

[Solid_Snake666]

and MGS 5 is an xbox exclusive...LMAO

[CallOfWar22]

I will be selling off my PS3 so look for that announcement. Microsoft keeps putting nails in Sony's coffin. Final Fantasy will sell huge in Europe and America who needs japan anyways their biased consumers who only want Japanese products. Software sells better in the U.S. and Europe anyways. When it is all said and done PS3 will be nothing more than a Blue Ray Player.

[ChampIDC]

I don't see why people care so much if their precious exclusives go to another console. Not like it's costing you anything.

I also don't see why Kojima wouldn't want the game on Xbox. It would surely sell millions. And nobody give me any crap like "he's a man of his word" and the like. The industry is about money, and you all know that.

[DaTruth]

It's costing us Quality. PS3 exclusives>multi-platforms

[DaDarkKnight]

dude after yesterdays announcement especially when they said ff could not be done on the xbox and yet its on the box anything is possibly for the all mighty dollar for some folks lol, I bet you this year at this very moment they are working on a port of mgs4 and it will be their big game announced at either tgs or e3 next year watch

[theKiller]

i never heard that FF13 could never be done on 360, because no one yet know the size of it or how much power it will use of ps3! FF13 is not MGS4(which is the game of mankind)

but we were all saying that it will require so many disks if it comes to 360

EDIT
@Thoas

LOL and that is the poor graphics game i wonder how they will do it for FF13!!!

[Thoas]

This is a RPG on Xbox 360

http://i289.photobucket.com...

[Solid_Snake666]

is that Bungie didnt show anything at the Xbox Conference but they are scheduled to appear during Sony Conference ...idk we will have to see tomorrow

[mistertwoturbo]

huh...? didn't even think about that.

[B-Rein]

if that happens my eye balls will pop out

[Drekken]

oh its happening. I hope Sony stick it straight up MS's Waggle.

[PimpHandHappy]

MS just has nothing else to talk about so they had to move the focus to stuff like this. They cant make there own IP's and we all know it

No matter how much money they spend they still wont match what the PS3 offers!

btw i guess Alen Wake is still in a holding pattern! It wouldnt surprise me if we see it on a PS3

Fallout 3 is 100hours...enjoy your horse armor xbutts

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Remember Shiverine Shivering Isles expansion pack? Thats the kind of DLC we get, so enjoy your horse armor........XD

[PimpHandHappy]

i guess we will get it also then if thats the case because the PS3 got that also...

didnt it?

i played about 50 hours of that game and never picked it up again

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Yeah the PS3 got that one, but you don't get this one....)

Here is another dollar, you know what to do with it.

[Sony sucks balls]

PimpHand you need to get pimp smacked and get some sense knocked into your droid a$$ !

Swearwords in Turkish ? "Reported"

[theKiller]

and they fall in it so easily, kojima said he wont work on 360 version, and want to keep it as a ps3 exclusives, konami is not square enix, SE stated they want to breach the west but konami already have solid presence in the west because they dont make only JRPG's which is popular mostly in japan, they said that last year that it will come on 360, so where is it now? they just want to tease people and lie to some people and make them think all ps3 exclusives will come to 360 so no need to buy the superb console ps3 and instead buy the dieing console with full of hardware problems and losing grand very fast the 360

[SonySoldierEternaL]

way 2 suck it

[Shadow Flare]

Micripofft is going to deplete the worlds oil supply if they keep up this multiple disc business. Xbox 360 is the poor man's PlayStation. That's all there is to it. If you're happy with having the version that had to be dumbed down and put on multiple discs to suit your console then it suits that cheap ass philosophy you had when you bought your xbox 360

[LaChance]

to get FF13 , Star Ocean 4 , Last Remnant timed exclu , Tales of Vesperia , Infinite Undiscovery.

I wonder why you care about those games being on mutiple discs.
360 gamers dont care AT ALL.

You will be getting FF13 one one dsic we will be getting it on 4 discs.

Why does it bother you ?

You payed 600 $ to play games on 1 disc ?

Im ready to pay less and get them on multiple discs , its not a problem for me at all.All the FF on playsation (btw they were the best FF games BY FAR) were on mutilple discs.

You just sound bitter.

[Shadow Flare]

No...i just think Final Fantasy XIII won't look as good graphically on the 360 as it will on the ps3. Thats why i said its the 360 is the poor man's playstation. Enjoy your dumbed down Final Fantasy. I'll be playing the version that was built for the ps3

[MaximusPrime]

Square themselves reported that DVD will be very different to Bluray.

So BR all the way.

[Sangria]

lol.

[CrazyOrange]

the best thing this e3 is new unlike sony same games they show EVERY E3 ROFL

[MaximusPrime]

what like M$ showing that Halo 3 every E3?

Sony aint the only company show the same game every E3

[PimpHandHappy]

did they talk about Alen Wake or huxley?

i havent played a FF game in 10 years and i only played one of the 26 games in the series!

anyway

MS conference was weak and the biggest thing they showed was a multi-platform game in FF that wont be out till the end of 2009! If you think the biggest news was Gears you would be wrong. If Gears was the big news they would have ended there show with it!

weak

[Thoas]

Nope they didn't talk about any of those games. They probably stopped production on them. That's how they got all that extra money to throw at third party devs.

[Arsenic13]

I got pictures to!

http://i35.tinypic.com/124v...

[BlackCountryBob]

So what; if you have a PS3 and wanted MGS4 then its there for you; if they want to let people with 360s also have a game then go for it, I will have completed it 10 times by then and moved onto something else.

Why let an epic game rot in the back of PS3 gamers collections when it can be given a second lease of life on anoter console in Xmas 09.

[Truplaya]

Good point, its not like the 360 fans are pissed that BioShock is coming out for PS3. Im sure some are pleased that more people get to play a great game without losing out themselves.

[Brixxer600]

Finally people are talking sense, by the time this comes out, if at all, most PS3 owners will be finished with it, IMO anyone with an interest in gaming deserves a chance to play this incredible game, it would just be another sign that the days of 3rd party exclusives are over.

[DaTruth]

I'll say it again. As long as the games come out on PS3 first, without any thought of a 360 version, I'm good. But multi-platform games tend to suck(for the most part).

[-Maverick-]

Wait until sonys E3 today LOL. Eveyone will be shut up and Sony will ahve huge news. Wait and see.

[Flinty]

I wasn't that impressed.

[felidae]

nice to know that the 360 is still the best system out there.

the ps3 is so ... cold.

[dale1]

has rockstar confirmed gta5 a ps3 exclusive yet and the dlc content is coming to ps3 as well thats what iv,e been told.my insider tells me? i do hate these rumours

[gnothe1]

i think it could happen. everybody knows that MS has to have a big game each holiday year. 06 gears,07 halo 3,08 gears 2, 09 MGS4, an they'll give konami the royal treatment an advertise that game like you wouldn't believe. so i can see MS trying to have MGS4 for next year holiday.

[juuken]

...IT'S NOT COMING YOU F*CKTARDS!

Konami has stated a million times that they will not port MGS4 to the 360 because it's impossible. If Kojima couldn't fit everything in a 50gb disk, then what makes them think he'll do it on the 360?

Microsoft is starting to piss me off. You got FFXIII so stop being greedy and keep the damn game. Be original for ONCE dipsh*ts and stop depending on multi-platform games.

They were making fun of this game and *now* they want it? Software alone won't save you Microshitforballs. You have to have a reliable console as well and if you can't make a reliable console, then you're sh*t out of luck.

Oh, a disagree? Well let me say this. In order for MGS4 to come to the 360, it would have to be remade from the ground up. A port won't work. Microshitforballs won't win a console war with buying out exclusives and Konami/Kojima are NOT that stupid to buy into that offter when the game has sold very well on the PS3!

[LaChance]

but since a couple of days you are just becoming the worst droid on this site right behind Nasim/Tanod/Shmee.
You are so HARDCORE its incredible especially being a girl.
Just calm down , geez.Whats wrong with you ?

BTW werent you saying EXACTLY the same thing for FF13 ?

Yeah...guess what ?

I'll be playing FF13 on the very same day as you , that is on day 1, on my XBOX360.

edit : @juuken below : wow, thank God Im not a hardcore fanboy.

[juuken]

...So what?

I am sick and tired of this bullcrap by Microsoft. I think I made my point very clear about MGS4.

I've become the worst droid? Right, I've become the worst droid...sure. You have morons like n00b, and all those 360 muppet accounts flying around and you want to call me the worst droid on the site?

I really don't care what you think LaChance, I really don't.

[Shadow Flare]

There's a difference with MGS4 though when you consider these factors:

-Sony is making the Metal Gear Solid movie. Unless Sony agrees, they won't take kindly to MGS4 going to 360
-Advertising, such as Apple laptops, Apple ipod, PS3's, PSP's
-Voice acting talking about the benefits of blu-ray and dissing multiple discs
-Messages on loading screens saying its exclusive to the ps3
-Controlling the Mk.II with a PS3 controller

and lets not forget

- You will not have a bleeding clue what the story is about

[Zhuk]

Try to be more logical and reasonable like me, like most fandroids you're being too emotional and dont think through the facts, i'll make it really simple.

Xbox 360 games look better than PS3 games, they also run better than their PS3 counterparts, even after significant optimizations for the PS3s architecture the games still look and run inferior. Therefore, the Xbox 360 is more powerful based on the simple evidence that games look and play better on it than the PS3.

Technically, we know that the Xbox 360s GPU is more powerful than the PS3s. Also, the Xbox 360 uses unified shaders and memory and this allows the video to have access to the whole 512mb of RAM on the system , unlike the PS3 which only allows the GPU to use an insufficient 256mb. Also the PS3's firmware uses far more memory than the Xbox 360s dashboard, which does far more than the XMB for less. This allows more memory to be used for gaming than rather for non gaming processes. Then we must look at the infamous CELL processor, which has been proven that it is an inferior processor for games because of the nature of its much touted SPEs, whose capabilities are limited. Compared to the Xbox 360s 3core processor and its multithreaded architecture, the Xbox 360s processor simply put is far superior for gaming applications.

What we can deduce from these facts is that the Xbox 360 is the most powerful gaming console ever created.

What makes it really simple is to just compare the games, which system runs the games better and which system has the best looking games.

The answer is the Xbox 360.

[MaximusPrime]

you're brainwashed Zhuk.

Felt sorry to hear your dumb comments every b***dy days

[doshey]

u have got to be the dumbest person 360 version doesnt even start it the ps3 version has been launch so how is that going to work

[TheBatman_Fanatic]

I thought the same thing of M$, can barely make up anything on their own so they go around trying to buy and take everything from sony. I think of M$ as the cheap giant shopping cart lol.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

After all of the crap that ms has pulled (rrod, HD-DVD), you deluded morons STILL think that your precious 3fixme is god or something!

The same people that are saying that they want MGS4 on 360 are the people that were saying mere weeks ago that MGS4 sucks and that they don't want it on their 360 because "the 360 too good for it". Now because you're getting FFXIII you morons think you're kings of the world!

When the 3fixme dies, and the 7helpme is released in 2009, only to die in 2012, I am going to laugh so hard that my head explodes. Because the PS3 and the Wii will still be out and making good money.

So go ahead and enjoy your precious FFXIII, because ms will fall just like Sega did. And when the 3fixme dies, do us all a favor and f$%k off!

@suck, logical and reasonable? That alone could make me laugh so hard that my head explodes!

[TheDeadMetalhead]

What's the matter? Are you jealous that Juuken's a girl and you're not? XD

[BigBoss2703]

Jesus Christ everyone is acting as if FF13 is 360 exclusive now.Get a grip people it'll still coming out on ps3.It'll still going to sell more on the ps3 since the game is launching only on ps3 hardware in Japan, where everyone knows the game will sell like hotcakes.It could've helped Microsoft in Japan, would they have secured the release there too, which I believe is what they were aiming for in the first place.I myself don't see this as a loss for the playstation brand.What I'm worried about is how many delays the game will suffer to get ported to the 360.

[AliC]

Well you'll need to strip the game of all the in-game jokes and PS related mentions.

[Havince]

and im damn glad i did as it is amazing

[Zhuk]

Xbox 360s domination over the PS3 has always been inevitable, finally the fandroid media is turning towards the light

[LFC1EE]

This game is ok, it's nothing special, i'd say splinter cell is much better stealth game than mgs, i purchased it because of all the good feedback but must admit it's ok but that's it, i would advise anyone who owns an xbox 360 to wait and purchase splinter cell.

[Darrius Cole]

Biglee said, ".....i'd say splinter cell is much better stealth game than mgs,....."

I have to take time out to make a special reply just to say that I disagree with perfect disagreement.

Let me be clear....Metal Gear is a better game than Splinter Cell, as a stealth game and by every other measurement that I can think of. My disagreement with Biglee, or anyone else, suggesting otherwise can not be more absolute.

That is all.

[solidt12]

The only games that i count on being exclusive for now on are 1st party titles. Anything else you never know. Sony has alot of strong 1st party titles to satisfy its fanbase so no matter what 3rd party games go multiplatform Sony will still have the upper hand.

[zenosaga04]

I just find it interesting that those calling the playstation 3 irrelevant and a waste of money are, for all intense and purposes wasting their time talking about it.

If there's nothing that interests you on the playstation then move the &%$@ on! Why do you think every Tom, John, and Harry wants to hear about your oppinion

[Mr_Luke]

Can't agree more ;)

[Mr PS3]

Saying that once
Anyway The bots got FFXIII
Hear them rejoice
Now they think that every PS3 game is going to the 360
And Yesterday they claimed that it was the best day for a long time
well i can understand that
Cause you been getting Your Ass Kicked all year
And it just goes to show the Bots Want the PS3 Exclusive's
Did you hear this kind of celebration when Bioshock was announced for the PS3
Would you see the PS3 Boys celebrating like that d!ck steve ballmer if they said Halo was coming to the PS3
Simple answer NO
We dont give a crap about your game's
They are SH!T
Keep em

Edit
See the bots want our games
Look at the bot jason gettin all excited over kingdom hearts
it just goes to show the Bots are the one's who have no games

[solidt12]

Also if MGS4 went Multi it wouldn't kill me because us PS3 owners are playing it know and Kojima made it just for us.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Remember when Metal Gear Solid 2 was on the Xbox and when Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry was a Sony exclusive?

Next up, Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear, won't be long till we have Tekken.

[xtreampro]

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU PLAY TEKKEN WITH A STUPID OVERGROWN, UNCOMFORTABLE 360 CONTROLLER.........!RETARD!!

[FPS nut]

The 360 controller seems to work well with

Dead or Alive 4
Def Jam: Icon
Dragon Ball Z
FaceBreaker
Mortal Kombat 8
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Soulcalibur IV
Street Fighter II
Street Fighter IV
Virtua Fighter 5
Warriors Orochi
WarTech Senko no Ronde
Yie Ar Kung Fu

[Darrius Cole]

Well that 360 controller doesn't work to well with those fighters. Specifically, Virtua Fighter 5 and Soul Calibur II (SCIV isn't available yet). The X360 D-pad is just far too imprecise for my tastes.

[PimpHandHappy]

again

hey i just got some insider news

Gears of War is coming to the PS3 at the end of 2009! Go ask Skippy

[PimpHandHappy]

i might be wrong but didnt you get MGS 2 something like 2 years after it was out?

you keep waiting and please please please

dont hold your breath waiting on MGS4

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Waiting like you droids wait for everything, after all you guys are masters of waiting...:)

Here is a dollar, go buy some skill.

[fafoon]

We have been waiting for FF for a long time and maybe we are gonna be waiting some more
The thing is you see
your gonna be waitin with us
You ferkin idiot
Here's a dime go give it to your mom

[Shadow Flare]

They didn't get MGS2, they got MGS2: Substance, the little extra VR missions game. And that was the only Metal Gear they ever saw. Yet for some reason because they got that, they all think the 360 is Metal Gear's new home

[PimpHandHappy]

like you are

so stfu fool

just wait till the 360 does that update to the dashboard!

just wait till you see a FF game

just wait for your machine to RROD

looks like your waiting like the rest of us

this is the gaming biz kid and everything gets delayed

just wait on Alen Wkae

just wait on Huxley

just wait for Gears of War..atleast that wait isnt that far off

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

What PS3 games have come this year? oh thats right "one" all you have to do is look at the E3 footage to find out what we get this year. Here is to 09 the year of the PS3, or was it 2010?

You now have three bucs, save that up and spend it on your next demo. You are way to easy, I can own you all day.

[juuken]

Jason, you're not owning anybody.

You just want the reassurance that MGS4 will come to the 360 when I said it's not coming.

Most of the 360 fanbrats around here are just as bad as Microsoft. Microsoft is turning the videogame industry into their own little playground and it's absolutely disgusting.

[fafoon]

You aint owning Sh!t
oh sorry you are
you own a Xbox

[Zhuk]

If this year is the best the PS3 can do its laughable, the Xbox 360s lineup is truly unbeatable these holidays with so many AAA titles. Though I admit it will be amusing watching more Sony 'exclusives' flop while Xbox 360 exclusives sell in the millions as usual.

[lastboss]

fake ! it's impossible ! The game will require too much hardware restrictions (DVD capacity), ...etc and at least 2 more years of development...so nobody will be impressed anymore.

[kazuma]

i've always said it, it will probably come out in a year, but listen, ppl have already moved on. who wanted to play mgs4 has already bought a ps3 for that (that's why the consoles sold out and the game sold so many copies). imo, the fans of mgs4 (most of them) are now attached to sony. i don't think mgs4 on 360 would be a very good choice.
i mean, weren't the xbox fans the first ones to say "lol it's a movie" when they know are saying "loooool we get mgs4" and halo chronicles is coming their way? oh kids, how quickly u change ur minds, but hey that's part of growing up

[Mr_Luke]

"Sony has lost", "Sony has no exclusives anymore"...
Ok i'll go play LittleBigPlanet on my Xbox360. Oh wait.. nvm... maybe Killzone 2... oh right, exclusive Sony. Only joking now, but it's so funny the hatred genereted by 1-2 news, like if it's the end of the world ;P
And the Sony event still have to come, so who knows the surprises they'll present.
So today is the Xbox fanboys moment cause of FF and other stupid rumors, maybe tomorrow will be the Sony fanboys moment cause of the game XXX or YYY. And the story continues =D

[midgard229]

if it does come to 360, IF....we are going to have the first game since ps1 days to reach somewhere between, what 5-10 disc? lol, that or a huge install on the 360 with um sixaxis controls??? cuz mgs4 uses sixaxis for various things. i dont think it will work on 360 but i wud like to laugh at a 10 disc game lol seeings that mgs4 used up dual layered blu-ray lol

[Drekken]

Dont waste your breath... we all know this, let the trolls dream. Anyone who buys a game that looks like a pack of blank cds is gonna get laughed out the store.

[bruiser81]

I would probably be on disk per chapter with severely compressed cg clips

[FPS nut]

5-19 disc, LOL 9 of them would be cutsceens.

[VMAN_01]

MGS won't come there is comments about switching discs, Apple computers talk of PS1 etc.

[ape007]

no one truly knows when this gonna happen

[trovon]

It may be time for alot of "fanboys" to man up an own more than one console. I've read so many comments on different articles where fanboyism is going to the extreme. First, fanboys weren't going to buy DMC4 because it was multiplatform, then no more sales for Infinity Ward because they didn't want to go back and make a patch for trophies, now no more sales for Square Enix because FF is multiplatform. I bet if the news breaks that MGS4 is going multi, then Konami won't get any sales either. So either you stop letting it affect you so much, or you sit thier with a console not playing any games because you're so mad that people who purchased a 360 get to play the same game.

[Lord Vader]

LOL = Now that the 360 allows HDD full-game installs, it doesnt matter if MGS4 comes on 20 dvds. FF had to be harder to get...

“There’s only MGS left now: for a few months at least,” said the mole. “It’s inevitable. Konami knows how many million they’d sell in the US alone. If FFXIII can make it to 360 when Sony owns nine percent of Square, Metal Gear’s a slam dunk.”

[thereapersson]

I bet when MGS 5 is released, people will STILL be talking about MGS 4 coming to the 360...

Really pathetic

[mariusmal]

mgs4 on x360 ? bring it on. i think all gamers should enjoy this great great game.

PS - i own BOTH consoles and i own mgs4. so plz... fanboys, trolls etc. stay away

[brodels]

it would cost too much to put the game on 6 dvds and replace the in-game ipod to a zune =D i think the game sold well enough for kojima's studio to recoup their losses. not sure though, if anyone has info on that please let me know!

however, i do have a zune and i love my zune

[FPS nut]

5 of those dvd's would be cutsceens (I love that joke)

[thereapersson]

Konami would have to re-design aspects of the game to remove things that are Sony related. Like the in-game dualshock that Snake uses, for example.

By the time it would come out, 360 owners would have forgotten about it. But I forgot, it's not so much that they would get to play the game, as the fact that they could rub a lost exclusive in Playstation owners' faces.

[xtreampro]

ps3 gamers could say the smae thing about the 360's line up, so....Whats your point?

[karlostomy]

- FFXIII coming to 360
- MGSIV inevitably coming to 360

Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum!!

I don't recall any other week EVER in which the SDF has been pwned quite so severely.

I almost feel sorry for them.

[xtreampro]

so your happy about a game that will look better on the PS3 but will come in sh1t loads of DVD9's and look downgrded and crap on your 360

[BigPappaPump]

How can you be sure that MSG4 is coming to the 360?

To avoid confusion, this question is for karlostomy. I don't know how my stupid computer directly link my reply to your post xtreampro.

[karlostomy]

Lol man. You seem genuine, so here's my genuine reply:

I cannot be certain, but this thread is part of a news story (check the title for your answer)

In any case, I was just stirring the pot.

Damn that's fun!

[juuken]

I feel sorry for you karl. You pathetic 360 muppets are just sickening indeed. You may have FFXIII but you're not getting anymore exclusives.

Suck on that while it lasts.

And it's MGS4 you dumb f*ck, not MGSIV.

And no, that is a PS3 exclusive. Kojima will probably make a game for your system but he won't port MGS4. He mentioned this a million times already and besides, 360 muppets have been calling this game a damn movie so I don't see why they want it now.

Oh, right, they want to inflict pain on PS3 owners, just like their f*cked up company.

[sonyjunky279]

Bullshit

[BigPappaPump]

If it ever happen. For now I can say DREAM ON MS!

[FPS nut]

FF was supposed to "never happen"

[BigPappaPump]

key word: IF

[Boink]

would it really move more consoles anyway?

what's the point other than making a statement against sony?

[Ferrite]

After FF13's announcement for the X360, anything is possible.

[JohnnyAkiba]

"It's inevitable" NO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. The ACT3 and final of the game is a prof .

[Leathersoup]

very senior UK industry source = wears adult diapers and drools a lot

[SL1M DADDY]

/facepalm

[Azailexx]

Would RRoD every unit bc of its power.

[FPS nut]

You can do better than that, or is that all you got?

RROD joke number: 6,007,975,345

[karlostomy]

E3 2008 Microsoft: "we have FFXIII"
E3 2008 Sony: "bu bu... zOMG teh RROD pwnage"

[juuken]

Azail wouldn't be wrong 360 muppets. RROD is still a common issue. That's why people sold 360's for PS3's.

Dumbasses.

[n00bzRtehgey]

and then they resold them back once they realized PS3 has no games

[Sangria]

Don't you think that if it was planned to be on 360, there would be an announcement during Microsoft's E3 conference, just like FFXIII?
The fall of an exclusivity doesn't mean the fall of all exclusivities.

Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, Lost Planet, Overlord, World In Conflict,... have fallen on Xbox 360, but it still has Alan Wake, Fable 2, Gears Of War 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, etc...

Final Fantasy XIII, Monster Hunter 3, Assassin's Creed,.... have fall on PS3, but it still has Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, Haze (sadly), Tekken, Valkyria Chronicles, etc...

So no, it's not "inevitable", no matter how much high can be the "insider" source. Even FF versus XIII's exclusivity is still standing, whereas we could think it was inevitable.

[max-jeager]

it has to be change to mgs4 for xbox 360 impossible , it has no real argument but the loss of FFXIII it ilogic is like saying that because cuba is droping communism now china have to .

[FPS nut]

A lot of you fanboys in this thread are starting to sound realy scared ever since FF13, a game that was supposed to never go Xbox, went Xbox.

[28121986]

I dont care MGS4 on the 360 or not even though I've not played it yet...I still think games matter than the consoles they are on, as long as its a great game and it goes down well with the auidence it hardly matters to anyone...and yeah Disc swapping is actually faster than the installation times...

[Ninja-Sama]

is how hypocritical 360 owners are. When the game is exclusive to the PS3 its a mediocre rehash blah blah blah. Yet when you see the opportunity to get some of these exclusives on your console you act like its the only game in the world!

You need only look at the top stories headlining the page of NG4 and you'll know what I'm talking about. Regardless I've played MGS4 (a game that will never come out on 360) To do that take out the PS3s present in the game. Don't forget the PSPs. The iPods..forgot about them? What about all the Apple laptops? The constant jokes and mockeries made against the "other conole" ie the 360. You get my point right? If not ur in denial or just plain dumb. Seriously.

Oh and I'll be playing the superior version of FF13 (and Versus as well) when it comes out. Don't believe me? Well I honestly can't wait when the game is out and constant framerate drops and constant disc swapping hang over the 360 port. With many other visual sacrifices as well.

[juuken]

They just want PS3 fans to suffer. The game could sell like sh*t on the 360 but as long as they destroy the exclusivity of the game, they're happy about that.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

IT will be on 360 guaranteed!! The game obviously is already is made for it!!

1rst off It was very obvious this game is built for another platform!!!!!
The constant 2 min installs were a dead giveaway!!!
It's funny how the game brags that it's on BLuray yet it has to stop to install for 2 minutes every chapter!, that is a dead give away of a missing screen saying insert disc 2 or 3!!!!

2nd this game is first gen and so is still slightly developed as PC technology and not fully RSX/Cell!!

Easily portable.

IDK the Cell technology is young and with it PC technology is still easy and far optimized for games in this current GEN!!

But Kudos for Sony trying to change us over to Parallel technology for the first time!!!
I rather liked Heavenly sword and Uncharted!!!

Too bad it cost so much to make games on PS3!!!

[dkgshiz]

Wow these morons are really stupid. They never played the game so they wouldn't know this game has many apple ads everywhere. Plus when your using the MK 2 snakes using a six axis controller to show its exclusiveness to the ps3. Also, Otacon calls you up and tells snake to change the disk to make fun of the 360 and its dvd 9s. Yeah, this would not happen, the 360 cant have every game its just a fact. MGS4 would be on like 6 disks. So it would never happen.

[Merovee]

This time last week everyone was POSITIVE FFXIII and MGS4 would be PS3 only.... Now which is more ironic

Last week PS3 fanboys scoffed and shrugged it off with notions of "Dream on", YET NOW they sweat like they were being roasted alive at the mention of it, it's a betrayal, blasphemy of the worst form!!!
-Or-
Last week 360 fanboys thought both games were pure crap, all CGI and no gameplay, nothing worth talking about just some "crap JRPG" full of fem emo's and a game that was so "lame" it was "just a movie with buttons", how "overrated", YET NOW they try to brag like it was their idea as they salivate over the chance to play these "great games that Microsoft won over from Sony".

Welcome to Hypocrasy4Gamers, enjoy your (easily swayed) bias, an please leave your (easily bruised) ego at the door, heh.

Either way it amuses me greatly.... keep up the good work fanboys, lol XD

[whoelse]

Dont say the PS3 is dead before we even seen the Sony conference. There could be numerous mega announcements and everyone will say: No point in getting a 360, im getting a PS3.

[N4G-IS-PS3-FANBOY]

WHAT PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND IS THAT XBOX 360 GAMERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT MINOR PROBLEMS THE XBOX 360 HAS HAD BECAUSE THEM PROBLEMS ARE WAY GONE NOW.( ALSO WE DONT CARE IF WE HAVE TO BUILD THE FU*KING THING, WE KNOW WE HAVE THE BEST SYSTEM, END OF!) THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO GET RROD NOW ARE PEOPLE WHO BUY A NEW CONSOLE. SOON AS IT GETS IT UPDATE, ITS FIXED. SO CUT THE CRAP ABOUT RROD, YOU FOOLS. ITS GETTING OLD FAST AND IT SHOWS HOW PATHETIC THE PS3 REALLY IS IF IT AINT GAINING ON THE XBOX 360 EVEN AFTER ITS PROBLEMS! :)

ANYWAY, XBOX 360 GAMERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT MGS4! IF ITS JUST A SIMPLE PORT THEN WE DONT WANT IT!

HAS TO HAVE MORE IN IT AND HAVE SOMETHING NEW!

THING IS PEOPLE THAT HAVE BOUGHT INTO THE PS3 SH*T REALLY FELT THAT IT WILL OUTSTAND THE XBOX BECAUSE IT HAS'BLU-RAY'. WHAT A GIMMICK THAT IS!

NOT ONLY DOES MICROSOFT HAS THE ABILITY TO COMPRESS DATA IN CRAZY AMMOUNTS TO FIT ON NORMAL DUEL LAYER DISCS BUT THEIR GOING TO BE GETTING THE SUPER DVD'S VERY SOON THAT HOLD 500GB! SO I WOULD GIVE UP IF I WAS YOU!

XBOX 360 HAS SONY BY THE BALLS AND IT IS ALREADY DOMINATING E3!

[jackdoe]

Meh. If it does, it does. I've already played through the game five times so I don't really care. However, for all those 360 fanboys who have constantly derided and bashed this game: if you start getting excited about a possible 360 release, you'll be a hypocrite bastard who should crawl back into your den of hatred.

[jmcorp]

when Bioshock was released on xbox 360, what did you PS3 fanboys say, "oh it's not that good"..."it's a crap game, not even scarey"..."what an over-hyped game 6/10"

as soon as it was announced for the ps3, you Sony CIA Task forces began singing its praises. funny how the world of gaming goes in a cycle...

anyways enjoy your lovely hypocrisy.

[jackdoe]

You asswipe, I OWN Bioshock on the PC. Do I look like a fvcking fanboy to you?! Eight bubbles does not usually equal fanboy. Now four? That sounds like a fanboy.

[jmcorp]

look at you trying to pull a fast one, shame on you hypocrite...

lets face the facts Sony has lost one MAJOR license already: FF.

they will lose a second: MGS4

when things are inevitable learn to let go.

[jackdoe]

Fast one my ass. I own Bioshock on the PC, playing it at 1680 x 1050 at 60 fps and enjoying the hell out of it. I'm currently in the Artemis section of the game, after the huge Atlas twist. You are the sad soul hypocrite. Hell, I'm enjoying Mass Effect on the PC, a game I tasted on my friend's 360, right now.

[jmcorp]

i knew this was going to happen, altough not confirmed yet, MGS4 would sell so well on the Xbox 360, i dont see why not...

and as some other posters said, after Final Fantasy came to the Xbox 360, MGS4 is set to follow.

[Enigma_2099]

Until they confirm it from Kojima, that's all they can do... speculate

[TheBatman_Fanatic]

Developers rush on 360 games because its so crappy and easy to make. Look at MGS4, magnificent!!! they took their time and used only a portion of the powerful PS3. Why do you think the version of Last Remnant is delayed? lol!!!!

[ForROME]

Its like BIO shock great game but once you beat it, you beat it. MGS4 if it was to go multi, who cares, the steam is out of the ship already, I think in this day n age we can only think, most things will now be, TIMED exclusives at best, the day of one system having it all may be over, or the day of SONY having it may be over considering how much Money MS could pump out to get exclusives if they really wanted to.

[pumpkinpunker]

Goes the same with MGS4. Sony has no financial links with Konami. MGS4 coming to the X360 is about as amazing as Bioshock going to the PS3.

[cloud 279]

First of all people who have stated that Sony is losing all the 3rd party exclusive because they aren't taking care of developers, first let me point out some points to you before making your decisions.

1. When R* started making GTA 4, they asked Sony to allow to make the game for multiplatform, in return Sony received 3 exclusive game deals from R*, and also the option to bundle the game.

2. With FF13 becoming multiplatform, no doubt this will sell better, but just to let fans know Sony still has the exclusive for this game in Japan. Sales in Japan for FF titles is greater then US.
Sales from FF12: source: http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki...
Japan: 1,764,000 in first week
NA: 1.5 million in first week
I know Sony fans are mad that they didn't keep the game exclusive, and others are stating that Sony owns 9% of the company, which is not that great. If the Board of Directors says they want to go multi with FF13, and Sony says no, then Sony is just outvoted by others, (91%>9%).

To all before you state Sony has lost this gen, its not true. Sony knows how to make deals, and throwing money around just to get the title is just one way to make deals (MS). Sony & Nintendo still commands respect in the gaming industry from developers. Respect is greater then money, and respect is only given by granting respect to other party.

PS: FF Versus 13 is still exclusive to the PS3.

[smurfie4]

Anybody who has played the game would tell u that. Im not talking about the graphics Im talking about the various disses that are thrown at Microsoft when u play. An example being the message from otacon after you defeat crying wolf. psgamers know what Im talking about. -_^

[chidj2]

this is going to happen if mgs4 its ported to xbox 360

sunny its going to play a xbox 360

snake its going to hear music frome a zune

otacon its not going to say change the disk

and the computers that otacon uses are going have windows vista

[The Goulet]

No.

Goulet

[TheXgamerLive]

The world is their oyster:) Everything is now 360, everything and with the news of the incredible new dashboard that's going to make it easily the choice for any "home".

The possibility of downloading the complete game is also very cool, did someone say MGS4:) Easily doable.
Even w/o downloading the game it would be so easy to put the game on two disc. One disc would be the actual game, the other the friggin long ass movies, and the movies could be downloaded to the HD and play seamless with the one game disc. MS and company are expert at compression and this would be ZERO, no problem at all.

End of story, ha ha, end of sony:)

[Sunny_D]

stop stop this madness!!! remember the days when we could just play games for the fun of it? now today its all about money and business. what happened to just talking about the games and not about companies and how they handle they're exclusives? who am i kidding? PS3 for the WIN!!!

[SkolarVisari]

Even if it does no one will care, it'll be just like Lost Planet, Eternal Sonata, or Bioshock. In order for this to matter in terms of console sales it would have to be released at the same time. Not ssix months to a year later. When it's that long people have already bought one console or another for other games that are on the system.

[grantps3]

your moms inevitable

[ThatCanadianGuy]

LOL! This site and it's bullsh!t article's never cease to amaze me.

Sony already made a comercial showcasing MGS4,Sony hardly ever advertises.They made PS3-MGS4 bundles.They have limited edition
Gun-metal grey PS3'S.Sony spent hundreds of thousands on advertising.
Thats like Halo 3 coming to PS3.aint gonna happen.

And your telling me they wouldnt sign a contract with Konami & Kojima productions? Pfff,morons

[KBDuB]

I agree. But, the thing is.. Halo is owned by MS, MGS4 is not owned by Sony.

[moujahed]

what about MGO and it's DLC... Konami refused to give Sony the right to post it on PSN so they'll get a share... so how will Microsoft work that out??? Seeing as how you HAVE TO USE XBOX LIVE TO PLAY ONLINE... with that said, Konami will have to give Microsoft a share of it's content, and game.... will that happen???

I highly doubt it.

[n00bzRtehgey]

LMAO. BUTTHURT DROIDS!!!!!!!!

[CAPT IRISH]

nothing to back these rumors up?

[jmcorp]

Most people on this Sony-funded site will soon look like fools with their moronic tails between their moronic legs...when MGS4 IS released on the Xbox 360!

their is 0 point puttig up a Sony-fueled fuss.

[FFXI101]

You know you guys just envy us(PS3 owners) have MGS4 and wanted it so bad that you have to bashing Sony or the game itself to pretend you don't care about it and change subject to something else.

[KBDuB]

Just like you guys(PS3 owners) with Halo and Gears..

[artman]

hey, please insert disc 2, oh yeah this is not bluray!
its goint to be part of the game lol

[Snukadaman]

I agree this is just speculation...but with ff13 making the jump its not as outlandish as people thought in 2007.

[RadientFlux]

meh, I've already played MGS4 and while it was fun, the dialog and some of the humor ruined the overall experience for me and that was before I got to the ending.

[iceice123]

It is going the way of the Dreamcast, except the Dreamcast was worth the money.

[Kingshadowhigh]

If they can fit it.

[DevonTheDude535]

So would they cut the section where Otacon talks up Blu-ray, if the 360 got a Blu-ray drive that's the only way this would work. They would cut the MGS 1 flashback too b/c thats a PSone title.

[VirusE]

OUCH! I dont think i have ever seen any fanbase as butt hurt as the sony fanbase currently is. I would have bet my life savings that FF 13 wouldn't end up on 360 yet here we are. MGS4 is not out of the question. MS confirmed that HD installs are now okay and all 360 models now come with harddrives. Odd how that made that change, i wonder what kind of game NEEDS an install? HMMMMM What could they be planning.
the facts:
MGS4 didnt make the kind of cash it should have made.
XBOX owners spend more money on games
All 360 systems now have HDS
HD installs are now kosher

I know the fanboys are pissed about this but this is just further proof that being a fanboy doesnt pay. Good thing i didn't put all my eggs in one basket or i would be pissed too.

[Lord Vader]

MGS4 was pretty good, but once you've played it & sat through hours & hours of convoluted dialogue & CG, I dont think I could do it again. Like several others have said, it's like Bioshock. It's great, but once it's done, it's done. No real replay value at all, except for extreme fanboys.

But, unless Sony's gonna digg real deep, I have always thought it would be a timed exclusive.

[KBDuB]

It wouldn't surprise me if it did happen, because I don't think they sold as much as they wanted to. And, if they put it out on the 360 they can make much more money.

But, do I think it will happen? Nope.

[DevonTheDude535]

They sold over a Million world wide in the first week

[Seafort]

I can't wait to find out how many dvds the x360 gamers are gonna have to swap with FF13 :P

Im not too bothered about FF13 going to xbox most games are multiplatform now. Whats one more game that most gamers can play on now?

PS3 still have plenty more exclusives in the next 8-9 years of its life cycle :)

[FFXI101]

@KBDuB you got it wrong, Gears of War is one of the best shooter out there. I've had so much fun to play it and play it co-op. I don't bashing a good game like Gears(Unless the game is like Bullet Witch, Bomberman Act: Zero, or Earth Defense Force 2017) Btw, I think Gears is way better than Halo.

[psman012]

MGS4 is one, if not, the best conslole exclusive for the Playstation 3. If Microsoft try's to have a port of it on the 360, then Sony fans, like me, will be VERY pissed. Plus, the 360 probably wouldn't be able to run it as good as the Playstation 3.

[atomdooze]

can u feel it can ya can ya?

[KeenanTheSavage]

Yeah, well obviously it's coming to the 360, because 360 owners (like myself) know it, and aren't going to spend money for a f**king ps3 for just one game (except for the wealthy peoples).

[atomdooze]

and u will know what precise really means! that ps controller is dated small and made for 12 year old little asian hands. Be a man and play with real equipment.

[The Goulet]

Jack squashed this at E3. NEXT.

Goulet

[JIN KAZAMA]

But when? Like a year from now, or even 6 months from now?? BIG DEAL! You xbots are missing the big picture, meaning that all 360 is trying to do is take PS3's left overs, and by then, PS3 will have games that make MGS4 look weak.

[Hollander]

all I am going to say is that some guy from capcom once said that if there was ever a ps2 version of Resident evil 4 he would chop his head of with a axe. service to say he is still alive... so who ever clings on what ever kojima said is an idiot...

[GiantEnemyCrab]

This game will be fantastic on the 360. With the announcement yesterday that games can be installed COMPLETELY onto the hard drive there should be no reason why this game couldn't make the jump to 360.

I never thought Bioshock would go to the PS3 and with FFXIII coming to the 360 anything could happen.

[etownone]

seriously, like WTF is up with the sonydroids.

Playstation had three big exclusives, GTA, MGS4, and FF.

2 down, 1 to go.

it's that simple.

it can be done.
it will be done.

[PoSTedUP]

ah.. ps3.. feels so good to own one...

[Meus Renaissance]

To the PS3 at the conference. Nuff said

[Rice]

respects...and bubbles

[BYE]

Quotes from Apple CEO Steve Jobs about Microsoft:

1. "They have absolutely no taste"
2. "Redmond, start your copy machines"

Sony couldn't have said it better.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

How funny to think back to 1997 when MS did a $150 million bailout of Apple Computer. That's gratitude for you and it shows you what kind of a scum sucking company Apple is.

[macalatus]

Future codec conversation between Snake and Otacon in a 360 MGS4:

Snake: Otacon, what's going on?
Otacon: Snake, I think the 360 is acting up...
Snake: Wait, you're not saying the reason why I kind of f_king up in
my current mission is because of a potential RROD?
Otacon: Snake...I hate to tell you this, but, YOU REALLY NEED TO FIND
THE MS CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER...YOU MIGHT HAVE A RROD SOON!
Snake: MS customer service reps are morons, can't Sunny fix the
console?

(Screen switches to a cutscene of Liquid Ocelot demonstrating the "presence" of nanomachines in the 360...and orders "them" to shut down the console. The RROD shows up, the screen goes blank, and the player thinks it's just an in-game Kojima joke. But alas, the RROD was indeed "real"...and Kojima was kind enough to include the MS customer service number in the game manual)

Well, in other news:

TheMart, POG, and the rest of the 360 fanboys are still gloating how the 360 still retains exclusivity of a best-selling game called "Red Ring of Death: The Rage and Sorrow of Gamers". PS3 fans, on the other hand, remains steadfastly unfazed (and laughing their arses off) about not getting a PS3 version of the new, upcoming "Red Ring of Death: The Rage and Sorrow of Gamers".

[Carnage]

not inevitable, more like highly likely. That senior editor is probably making making things bigger than it is so people can check the article out.

[Kyoka_Suigetsu]

Inevitable? Far from it. With how much sponsoring the game recieved from Ubisoft, Regain, and most of all Apple (among others) I highly doubt it would be inevitable. It's possible. Very possible, but not inevitable.

[Needles]

It wont be of a great shock if it happens after this huge shock, wth, the 360 cant stand the "AWSOME" visuals? lol, this is what u all said 8 months ago when u strictly argued that ff13 cant go on the 360, guess what, a beta port of ff13 didnot only work on the 360, but it worked also on the "Wii" and about the blue-ray problem, 8-10 years ago i was happy with my 4 discs games, not to mention the lost odyssey,although it isnt much of a game.

[lojtis]

I´m just glad it´s already on my PS3 (and developed on as only platform)
If it gets ported to xbox i´ll be the first to congratulate.

Main thing is it can´t gimp my version.

[Needles]

2 DOWN AND 1 TO GO INDEED, LOL, actualy, 3 down and 1 to go.

ps3 got !!!KICKED!!! in the TEETH!!!

[wangdiddy82]

is final fantasy and mgs4 wont see well on the 360. Bottom line.

The only games that sell well on the 360 are FPS games like halo3 and cod4..

Konami and square know this too. They just cant deny the money MS dishes out to them..

Also MGS4 would look horrible on the 360. They would have to re make the whole game because the 360 hardware couldnt handle the game the way it is now. The 360 couldnt even handle mass effect..

[iiprotocolii]

Just like Gears of War 2 won't come out for the PS3 because it's "exclusively" slated for the 360, MGS4 won't come out for 360. Technical reasons play a big part in this. If it does come sometime down the line, you can expect the game in two years or so (due to exclusivity) which, by then, would be a waste of time being that everyone would have played it, it would probably be a waste of money, manpower and time. It's like porting Bioshock now to the PS3... yea, it's going to get some hits; but in the long run, it's not going to be getting the same amount of attention as it did when it was first released. Why? Because:

A) It was already played on the 360
B) It was already played on the PC
C) It doesn't grab as much attention with games like LBP and Resistance 2 being released.

I'm not saying it's never going to happen... if it does, expect it to be a long time from now.

[xg-ei8ht]

Sony: It's inevitable Mr Gates.

MS: What is?

Sony: PS3 Owning the console war.

MS:But but we got FF.

Sony:Hehe, We know. You getting our i.p. Is paying for the newest installment. Versus:)

MS:But we have gears of war 2.

Sony:Yeah it's looking good, But we got,Resistance2(300ft monster) Motorstorm2,Killzone2,LBP,Bios hock,Infamous,Home.
Enjoy ff, we know our customers will on 1disc. Not 5.

[Wolf873]

Do whatever the hell you want Micro$oft, cause I have simply accepted the fact that you are NOT so innovative when it comes to gaming and would rather unload butt load of cash to ride on the success of softwares made famous all thanks to Playstation.

[test123123]

I will sell my PS3 if MGS4 coming to Xbox 360

[iiprotocolii]

I'll give you $250 bucks for it and a bag of fresh popcorn. I called dibbs first.

[Wolf873]

Would you prefer to invest in a console that is at risk of RROD or keep a reliable console? I almost bought a 360 but thank goodness that I checked the internet first, I'm not rich and would never want to pay again for repairs, warranty never last for long.

[jackwei22]

anything can happen especially with the FFXIII a PS3 exclusive and now been brought onto the X360 that sent shockwaves through he gaming world. So if this was to happen i wouldn't be surprised at all since Sony hasn't done enough to keep exclusives the same Microsoft did on some games.

Cancelled The Getaway and FFXIII no longer a PS3 exclusive so whats next???

A game with the status of Superpower has been lost to competitor and it will the biggest story of this E3 and prehaps microsoft be the winners of this year's E3.

I still haven't seen Sony come up with anything as big as Square-enix disloyalty and giving away an exclusive to a rival Console Superpower X360. Oh well we shall just wait and see so hopefully things will look good for Sony instead of such a massive disappont for some sony FF fans in the West.

[razorbladelight]

but what the eff is that avatar that someone has that says "thanks" and i think it's the power button to the 360. like what is it suppose to be? is it the power supply dying or what cuz i have seen it in a lotta pics, just asking if it means something

[DJ]

A lot of downgrades would have to happen as well (mainly in the graphics and physics). I don't doubt a 360 version being made, but I do doubt it'll survive completely intact.

The game was just under 50GB, which comes out to about 6 or 7 DVDs worth of data. They would need to include pre-printed charts so people can keep track of which disc their on. (no joke)

[ROCCOZILLA]

xbots got FFVIII,but they act like PS3 not getting it.no big deal we got xbox game of the year BIOSHOCK,and that even bigger.the only reason its blown out of control is cause it was at E3.same would have happened if they did it with BIOSHOCK at the PS3 press confrence.no worrys!!PLAY B E3 YOND!!

[macalatus]

You mean FFXIII and NOT FFVIII.

XIII is '13' while VIII is '8'.

LOL

[fatam69]

Don't see why so many people are complaining.
More people get to enjoy an amazing game, its like PS3 owners finally getting to play Bioshock.
Everyone should get a chance to experience such a great game.

[IPlayGames]

All they seem to do is drool over PS3 games.

did the E3 demo of Gears even show on here??

All you guys talk about is PS3 game "I want MGS4 i want FFXIII"

Seriously this MGS4 rumor is old i kinda feel bad 4 you i want sony to give it to you just so u guys can shut up.

What effect would it have on me........none I've played it beat it twice and im waiting for the trophies update so i can beat it again.

Stop crying already if it comes out it comes out if not play gears 2.

[LaxMan986]

I havent seen any Playstation owner constantly blabbering on on how we will get the next great 360 game... Ohh wait thats because they are only getting ports of our games anymore :) But seriously one thing i noticed about the 360 is that the games arent looking any better. To me they have reached their graphical limit. Gears 2 looked just like Gears one and I will be amazed if FF13 looks nearly as good as it does on the ps3. (unless they downscale the ps3 version)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Yeah...that's real rock 'n roll, Murray.

[spike]

I own both systems, so I dont care I allready have MGS4, and its great, but very long cutscenes. I think it will come out to the 360, but it will be MGS4 Subtance.

[f789790]

Usage Warning
Only for use exclusively with the ps3

[JUSTICEFORALL]

man this sucks

[mercenarie]

another rumor

[Ali_The_Brit]

ahhhhh xbots, you say MGS4 is over hyped and a movie blah blah blah you will pick anything you can to prove its a bad game, but the second theres a rumour it may come to your system you get all hyped up and if it ever did you would swear down your version is better. pathetic :)

[DoctorXpro]

Is not gona come 360 but .......but.......but its gona come

=> METAL GEAR SOLID 4 SUBSTANCE

[CouchKing0]

MGS4 on the 360?

Final Fantasy XII is coming to the 360 so it's very possible.

[Expy]

With all the pro-Sony stuff in the game and Kojima's loyalty to his game and franchise and especially his business partners, I see no chance of this game coming to the XBOX360. Konami also respects Kojima too much to even force him to port it over.

Anyway, play the game... You'll know right away it's not going to be going to 360.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Despite a certain other game going platform after it was confirmed PS3 exclusive...

...Kojima is a man of his word.

He's not a sellout.

[jluth3]

well here another thing that would help msg on the the 360 when the update come to live this fall there will be a feature were you can copy the disk 2 the hard drive. although the disk must still be in there to prove you brought the game it wont have to spin decreasing the sound. it will also increase the the load times. for games that have more than 2 disk u can save the 2 disks 2 your hard drive leave one in and play it just the same even better.

[lordv8der]

Damn you Xbots just don't give up!. You say that the ps3 sucks and that you would never be caught dead playing one but still you keep insisting on making up bull* stories about how your system is getting all of our games. Sure you got FF XIII but ever since XI the series has gone downhill. I still regularly play through VII, VIII and IX but have never got round to completing XII. You have sony's 'leading' JapRPG now bugger off, stop bothering us and go play some halo spin off...

[riksweeney]

Final Fantasy 12 saved the series. I think if I'd had to play the same "walk around until a random encounter occurs" type of game, then I probably wouldn't have finished it, but 12 breathed life into the franchise.

Oh, and Final Fantasy 10 was the best in the series, followed by 6 obviously.

[Citizen Cook]

Yep.

MGS 4 next year. Specail collectors edition with EXCLUSIVE content.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

There is one game that can't be done on 360 for sure!!

GT5

1080P!!!
