MGS4 coming to 360, a year after PS3 release, according to this article - Blu-ray Forum

mainman · 05-29-2007, 05:59 PM

This guy is saying that it is confirmed MGS4 will come to 360 after a year of the PS3 release. And his source is 'some guy' at Konami and 'some guy' at Microsoft.

I think it is bullcrap, and that he has came up with the story to get alot of hits on his website.

Anyway, the 360 fanboys are going crazy (pretty funny), and acting like it is the real deal.

Now, I have never heard about destructoid.com, but is it a trustworthy site?

It doesn't matter. It won't be the same game. MSG=50BD Gb

The original story was nothing more than random person claiming to have spoken to insiders and making comparisons to MGS2: Substance. Not exactly original or convincing.

I recommend reading this. Several times it's been made clear they're making a game only possible on PS3 and after MGS2 Substance and MGS The Twin Snakes Kojima said he's learned his lesson and would make games that cater to a particular platform or audience rather than porting.

Did this come from a podcast, that was held about a week ago, by some gaming site (cant remember the name anymore)?

Anyway, the author of the article at destructoid, said he personally had talked to "insiders" at Konami and Microsoft.

Shin-Ra · 05-29-2007, 06:33 PM

I'm saying he's changed his story and he comes across as nothing more than an Xbox fanboy on an Xbox forum making up stories.

Is it not instantly recognisable to everyone else when someone's bull****ing, attention seeking, looking for web traffic?

SixAxiS · 05-29-2007, 06:43 PM

I find it funny how they keep saying it's coming for 360... Hideo Kojima already said it was going to be only for PS3 cause of the cell processor. Heck, they even have one of the small robots in the game using a cell processor. Kojima says MGS4 fits the PS3 cause the PS3 is more like a theater; and the 360 is more like a DVD. Those were his words. X360 fans usually counter that by saying Gears of War still looks better than MGS4 and all that... so I find it weird how they're still trying to convince that it's coming for 360.

CJS234 · 05-29-2007, 06:44 PM

cant wait for this game...

Blu Tiger · 05-29-2007, 07:42 PM

Though I am more of a fan of my 360 than my PS3 as a gaming platform right now, I don't like it when games that were intended to be PS3 exclusives are co-developed for two systems at the same time. That's when they can't make a game to take advantage of the full potential of the PS3 (like how the 360 is hindering the development of GTA IV since it's being developed for the 360 and PS3 simultaneously). BUT, I don't care if a game is made on PS3 first and then ported to the 360. I don't think that will hurt the development of a game for the PS3.

SixAxiS · 05-29-2007, 07:52 PM

The guys at Rockstar were saying it was kinda tough developing GTA IV for the 360 because not every 360 is equipped with a hard drive, and you can only do so much with a 9 gig DVD. I see where they're coming from, but it's still possible to make a game with more than one DVD. (Just like back in the PSone days when we had to insert 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. disc).

JTK · 05-29-2007, 07:53 PM

There's been talk like this simply because the 360 has a fairly nice sized userbase that no one can really ignore if they want to make the most money on a given title.

Blu Tiger · 05-29-2007, 07:55 PM

MS should have never came out with a core system that lacked a hard drive. They always seem to be short sighted.

It was pointless. If you wanted to save your games, you were going to be out of pocket for a hard drive anyways.

Buying the $299 Core in and of itself and walking away meant buying an incomplete product flat out.

It never made sense to me.

SixAxiS · 05-29-2007, 08:00 PM

This is why they should have just made the 360 Hard Drive a 2.5 SATA like how the PS3 is... then again that would mean they wouldn't need to release the 360 Elite... which still doesn't have a built in HD-DUD player which makes me wonder why M$ is even supporting HD-DUD. Anyways, either way... MGS4 will still be a good game no matter which platform it comes out on. The MGS4 trailers looked promising, so we can only hope it'll be a good game.

I will be shocked beyond words if this isn't an amazing game.

I don't think that Konami would produce a 360 version with multiple discs ! This would be ridiculous by todays standard, and would mean at least 5 DVD's !

iceman · 05-29-2007, 08:34 PM

Complete BS. When will people learn to wait for (or listen to) official press releases? Or maybe just another paid by M$ "blog"?

Locking down.

maconomics · 05-29-2007, 08:36 PM

As for comparison between MGS4 and Gears of war ! I have read that the graphics of GOW are an illusion ! Clever programming tricks by M$ gives the impression of top notch graphics when they are actually not ! In other words there are technological things going on that we don't see .. But this is only a rumor !
