[Havok83]

I just keep thinking of that annoying way he would always say "Brotheerrrrrr!"

 

[camp Blood]

what about metal gear future

 

[Superhero 101]

Metal Gear: 2100....I pass!!!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha, i find this amusing. Here is yet ANOTHER reason to bring up the rumor of MGS4 appearing on the Xbox 360:



While at TGS, Konami PR mouthpiece Y. Arai told Morningstar:

The worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version (of MGS4) is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking in to.

I already own MGS4 and feel its the greatest acomplishment in video games, so id probably purchase one for the 360 if for nothing else MGO.

Wow, well. Maybe it'll be MGS4: Guns of the patriots Subsistance on like 6 discs. If it is. Ill have to atleast rent it. But damn that would be so tempting to buy.

Hah yea, id buy it for the online portion. I just prefer Live to the PSN.

 

[camp Blood]

i just wanna see more stuff like the rail gun in mgs4 and if taking it to 2060 2070 to see it then i'm game plus that will totally make sure there is no snake. plus it will bring a whole new battlefield that the writers can play around with

 

[Superhero 101]

Yeah i guess If Halo gets Recon I guess Metal Gear can get something fresh.

For some reason, I'd doubt that MGO will end up on Xbox Live considering that it isn't even a part of PSN.

 

[Electro UK]

The rumour was already dismissed a while back.

Not this rumour. This came out of TGS this past weekend.

 

[Havok83]

I dont see MGS4 going to the 360, but I can definetly see MGO on the system

 

[Nightmare]

MGO on xbox live would be 100 x better than on psn.

 

[Electro UK]

Not this rumour. This came out of TGS this past weekend.

Yeah, and TheSixthxis dissmissed it a few hours later.

 

[Superhero 101]

I wouldn 't mind MGO on Live that would be fun.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yeah, and TheSixthxis dissmissed it a few hours later.

They dismissed it as its not happening in their opinion, they have no facts to back it up tho. There is nothing to dismiss, a PR rep said its something they are looking in to. There has been no retraction from that. It comes down to if Konami thinks its a sound investment, it will happen.

 

[Nightmare]

As long as MGS4 is, how many discs would it be on for 360?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I highly doubt itd be any more than 2. I mean MGS4 isnt really that expansive, i mean in terms of length its only a 20 hour game. Some people say that it couldnt even run on the 360 or that it would have to be completely "dumbed" down, but that couldnt be any more incorrect. I mean im sure some things will be lost in the transfer from Blu-Ray but nothing that would make the game unplayable or "poor" in its total quality.

 

[Superhero 101]

But it would take a while for MGS4 to come to 360 maybe 1 1/2 years and by that time i bet Kojima and Konami will have announced the new Metal Gear Game.

 

[Nightmare]

What about Metal Gear Solid: Existence?

 

[camp Blood]

what about metal gear in ww2 and it can follow zero. it can be about a nazi experimental plane call it the metal gear wing it can be like a tank plane fighter thing

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea i agree with you. The port to the 360 wouldn't be an easy or cheap port, which is what i think Konami is looking at. If they spend the money to port the game, can they make a good return? If that answer turns out to be yes, then you will absolutely see MGS4 on the 360. As for the next Metal Gear game, the chances of that going multi plat are much higher than MGS4.

 

[Superhero 101]

Its a Catchy Title but what would be the Story?

The fans of the series (who make up the vast majority of these games' buyers) already own MGS4 on PS3, so porting it to Xbox 360 would probably only sell a few hundred thousand copies. Not only would Konami be unable to tap into an existing fanbase on Xbox 360, but also they'd have to penetrate a gaming culture that by and large hates the Metal Gear series (I've long lost track of how many times I've heard an Xbox fanboy complain that MGS is just an interactive video with no gameplay). MGS4 on Xbox 360 would be a very costly investment, and unless there 1,000,000+ people who have never been into Metal Gear and want to buy MGS4 on Xbox (fat chance), it's a pretty poor investment.

I chalk that Konami rep's comments up to being a gaff. We may not have an official retraction yet, but it's not like saying a stupid comment like "We're looking into it" when you have no idea what you're talking about is something you have to hold a press conference for. So for now...

and of course the last time Konami brought a MGS game over to the Xbox, it was a failure
