Will Kojima say it's comign to 360, or that there's a Snatcher 2/ZoE3/New IP comign to the PS3.

I hope the latter. I wanna see Snatcher 2.

[Real gamer 4 life]

nah metal gear is not coming to the 360 at least not this year. Why do you assume that he is going to announce a new game? The article say that he is only going on stage to talk about the plan for mg4 and mgo. He is probably going to talk about the world tournament for mgo.

[NO_PUDding]

Becuase I feel like assuming he will share something more than just MGS4 stuff while he has the chance. CAn't I assume, heh? Lol.

I do love the reward shop though. Perhaps he can update us on when we will actually get those 1000 points for the delay. But er yes. I hope him to speak a bit about working on other projects.

[cmrbe]

it won't be this year. I don't mind anymore as Kojima did the best he could with MGS4 on the PS3 which PS3 fans are now enjoying. Obviously it will not affect the quality of the PS3 version unlike FF13 though. So i really don' mind if other gamers will enjoy it and Kojima gets more money for his masterpiece.

On the other hand knowing Kojima. He will mostly likely not make a port if it will compromise the quality of his game.

What i really want ot hear though is ZOE3. Two was such a brilliant game.

[zo6_lover27]

It will not come to the 360, there are to many Sony and Apple products in the game. You carry around an iPod the whole games, M$ would not allow that, All the computers are Macs and there are countless PS references.

[NO_PUDding]

I ahve played it. And indeed thsoe safeguard it somewhat.

To be honest the only reason I doubt it will coem to the 360, is becuase it's just too good. I honestly don't think that can be doen on the 360. Kojima has said that too, not that we shoudl ttoally believe PR talk.

[Megaton]

Hopefully he'll announce trophy support. The internet has been dead silent on the matter since trophies launched. Seems nobody has an answer.

[pwnsause]

in before bots state that MGS4 will come to the 360

[Wildarmsjecht]

Hah..I was gonna do that :(

[Playstation Man]

the same old cliche "it's inevitable" crap. Seriously, if it WAS announced, it would be dumbed down and far away. At that point, would it even matter as part of the console war I wonder? Probably not...as Sony and others have said in the past: only possible on PS3. Yet again, these words will hold up in August.

[cellypower]

Anyone that played MSG4 would know that its staying on a ps3 platform.Its more then a port.

[Playstation Man]

But as I said, they could dumb it down but really, at that point, why would it matter? 360 gets it 2-3 years later and gets an inferior.

Lemmings rejoice!

Heck, that could be the way it is with FFXIII, we'll have to wait and see.

[zo6_lover27]

Seriously, but they still won't buy it. I've tried to explain it before but they just don't listen.

[juuken]

xD

MGS4 wouldn't make it on the 360 and besides, 360 fanatics made it clear this was more like a movie than a game.

...Lol.

[NO_PUDding]

exactly Juuken, atleast I ahve the decency to say Bioshock I don't give a crap about. It's still the overrated crap it was a year ago. Mass Effect is what I'd like more.

But maybe the MGS4 haters haven't played the game. I am sorry, but I don't think you can plant C4 on a guys ass in Gears of War 2. Nor can you use muskets. Nor can you give soemone laughing sedatives. Nor can you customise your weapon. Nor can you customise your appearance. Nor can you......... etc etc etc.

What game am I not playing and only watching?

[testerg35]

It is more of a movie.. I have it for the PS3 and have watched my son finish it. The only restriction of conversion to the 360 would be the size. Outside of that, there's nothing in MGS4 that couldn't be done on a 360.

[juuken]

And the size is a huge factor tester...which is why it will not be ported. And no, I'm sorry to say but MGS4 is not a movie. It is a game, a game of which I've been playing for a while.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I assume the 1191 custom gun code for MGS4 will be announced then.

[kazuma]

zoe3 zoe3 zoe3

[Skerj]

ZoE2 is STILL mindblowing on PS2, the graphics and gameplay easily hold up to games on the newer system. Imagine that battle at the Auman Crevasse with the 1,000 Orbital Frames/Levs except being done as a full game on an open planet Mars on PS3 with Naked Jehuty *drool and die and coma of awesome*.

[Skerj]

Hah I hope for their sake the Rock Revolution showing isn't as hilariously awful as the E3 showing was.

[BigMassacre]

I need a new Suikoden.

[ExcelKnight]

I second this motion.

The Suikoden team hasn't been heard of since waaaaay back in 2005 when Suikoden 5 came out...

[rockleex]

Only if new Suikodens were as good as Suikoden 2 or 3.

Suikoden 3 was pretty good, but only its main characters had any significance.

Suikoden 2 is the most perfect RPG ever created. No flaws whatsoever. The story pulls you in, makes you feel emotions of betrayal, loss, hatred, etc.

Most of the 108 stars/characters had enough significance in the storyline to warrant being in the game. If not, then they were awesome enough and deserved to be there. Then there were also the extra stars, the flying squirrels.

The battles are unique with three different types. Regular battle, Duel, and Strategy Battle. There are also mini-games, such as the Dice game, the groundhog pounding game, etc. There's a nice wall pushing glitch that allows you to reach level 60+ early on in the game.

There's just so much extra little stuff in this game that makes it feel like a real world. No Final Fantasy can even come close to this game.

The only RPG that CAN top this game is Xenogears. If not for the flaw of disc two, Xenogears would easily top this game... though not by far.

[Lucreto]

I need another Suikoden but it won't be at Leipzig more like at TGS. Konami damaged their reputation not releasing Suikoden 3 in Europe. I have to read the Manga to get the story:(

[blusoops]

I need MGS4 trophies!!!

[jamilion]

DECEMBER 12th major MGS4 related announcement?

[Aclay]

I don't think that MGS4 is going to come to the 360. The way that Jack Tretton emphasized Metal Gear Solid 4 during the Sony Press Conference at E3 just put the nail in the coffin when it comes to those MGS4 on 360 rumors AGAIN in my opinion.

I think that Kojima might announce his next PS3 exclusive at Leipzig ( or at the Tokyo Game Show). If there is going to be a port of MGS4 to the 360, most likely, it wont be Kojima Productions doing it because Kojima has already said that now MGS4 is finished, he wants to move on to other projects.

If there hasn't been a HAZE announcement for the 360, MGS4 sure isn't going to the 360, that's for sure.

It's just funny because MGS4 has been declared a PS3 exclusive for

[Liar]

How many times did Sony say Final Fantasy 13 was a PS3 exclusive?

[NO_PUDding]

Not many actually. They tend to big up their first party games. It was only Square who were confirming it.

[rockleex]

Sony and Square has only announced once that FF13 was exclusive.

MGS4 has been confirmed a billion times already that it will remain exclusive.

The only way MGS4 gets ported is if another studio makes a deal with Kojima and does the porting. But that itself is still very unlikely, since Kojima doesn't want the quality to suffer.

[tako2000]

Somehow I feel that "MGS4 cross platform" new isn't so hard to swallow.

Well, PS3 fans do have fun right ahead and MGS4 did its job on raising system sell, but even so X360 version will take a while since Sony least signed "time exclusive"...

Another possibility is announcement of another MGO expansion pack or the mysterious "true MGS4 ending" pack?

[KingItachi]

I'm with you. Konami where the hell is the next Suikoden.

[SonySoldierEternaL]

looking forward to PES 2009

newly designed engine should be great.

[Sharpshell]

who is dying for the MGO announcement to be DLC wit ha game mode INVOLVING METAL GEAR's ? How sick would that be, one person controls a metal gear and everyone else tries to kill him? It would be perfect and truly make MGO live up to its namesake. i mean how can it be called Metal Gear Online without Metal Gears?
