metal gear solid 4 on xbox? LOL u got to be kidding me, it would be like in 67 dvds XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Kojima is not worried about MGS4 going down hill, when MGS4(Single player version) was being tested by magazines and other companies, they all gave it 10/10 but only 1 magazine so far has publicly given a full reveiw so Kojima knows it's gonna be big so theres no worry of money there.
Kojima has made deals with sony that MGS4 will never be released on any other console. Kojima has told us that it's gonna be on PS3 only and Kojima is retiring after MGS4 release so I can guarantee that the company will want to start on a new game straight after like they have said.
It has nothing to do with money, all Kojima wants is to retire with honour so people will remember him by his games and his amazing skills in making games and he has said that so many times in different words.
Once Kojima retires, MGS4 by law cannot be released on any other console without Kojimas permission and Kojima feels strong about it being exclusive to PS3. Aswell as MGS4, Coded Arms:Assault which is made by Kojima Productions is to be exclusive to PS3 and they have said that there are no plans or intentions for the game to be releases on any other console, this is a clear sign that Kojima realy wants nothing to do with Microsoft.
For the others say PS3 has no games and Xbox does then Ill give a full list. The list also includes games that are not out yet:
Exclusive to Xbox360: -halo 3

You can clearly see which console has had a better success with games. All the releases game on the list have gotton mostly 8/10 or more. For the unreleased games, so far the other games in the series have been pretty big and the games production team have been happy with the game. Kojima even have another game exclusive to PS3 but I've allready spoken about that. And the new 20GB PS3 console is gonna be a bit cheaper then the 360 if not then the same price. So the ps3 will jump ahead of xbox.
O my god. Kojima said it's ps3 exclusive and that the XBox's bloody disc can't handle the game. THe xbox will need like 6 or 7 disc to fit MGS4 on it and plus the new 20GB PS3 will be cheaper or the same price as XBox 360. You XBox fans complain all the time. In over 50 blogs I have been to, Playstation fans don't complain because Xbox has that or it has this, we stick by the PS3 and at the end of the day we know that we have better games. Even if you 360 fan began to get good games, guess what, PS3 still has MGS4. If you begin to get alot and alot of good games, guess what, at the end of the day ps3 still has Metal Gear Solid 4 and we can play against each other on Metal Gear Online and say
'I wonder what people are playing on 360. Oh thats right we don't need to worry if they have better games , we have MGS4'
The main reason people got XBox was because Halo came very cheap with the console, I know because the Xbox sales became very low when Halo didn't come with the Xbox anymore.
I got my XBox 360 when it first came out. I got home, set it up and got to play about 40 minutes of it when it just froze for a while then the buttons on the console went red and just shut down. I tryed to restart it but it was completely stuffed. I sent it back to Microsoft to get it fixed, it took weeks to get it back but I got it back. I went on the internet to research and found that it happens to every 1/3 Xbox and that Microsoft doesn't even bother to fix the problem when they make new Xbox 360. The major problem is that the Xbox only had a 3 year warrantee and if it broke after that then you needed to buy a new one because there is no proof that the Console broke randomly or if I broke it. Then I find out that the 360 will most likly brake again after the warrantee ends and I know because it happened to my friends 360. last year after the warrantee ended earlier then what it was supposed to, the 360 broke, I rang Microsoft myself to find that they could do nothing about it. This pissed me off, My dad took it back to the store where I got it from and forced the manager to give back the money as we were ripped of from the day we got it.
I started to look at the PS3 and found that it might be more expensive but it has a device inside that can find out what stuffed up the system if it does brake. Also it has better games from what I read, has the top DVD player in the world today installed into it, Has free online play and is just fullstop better. I bought it on christmas and got 3 games with it and the games and remote controlle felt better then the 360. I got 4 more games on my birthday and am getting 6 more games by the end of this year.
I have to say that Xbox is a pretty big rip of while Sony is Quiet, smooth feeling and you feel like you are touching something that is out
of this world. It's a long story but I'm telling you what is happening to
many people out there who are getting ripped of.
Ill be surprised if that realy is happening too people out there. !!!!!!!!@@@@@@
My Xbox 360 stuffed up the second day I had it and Microsoft would not fix it even when I told them it had warrante, they still wouldn't touch it, that when my aunty went back and got the money back and EB Games gave the money back as soon as we told them what happened thank god. Got the money back and got the PS3 and it's the best, Now I can play MGS4 when it comes out nd the rest of you supporting that faulty machine can't.Another thing PS3 has a Dual Layer 50GB disc and Microsoft have a max of 40GB, that is no where near enough space to have MGS4 on it, even if they buff down the graphics, even then, that game still contains way to much. Kojima will basicly have to shorten the game by a huge amount to get it on Xbox. The other part, The second disc that comes with the game which is for the online gaming also use all the pace on the Dual Layer 50GB disc so alot of Maps, Weapons and features will have to be taken out. All Im sayng is that 10GB is a hell of alot so 40Gb's is not even close to enough a 50GB game.
My PS3 stuffed up the first day I got it, so I basicaly told sny it needs fixen and they couldn,t do it so I took it back to the store and got a 360.
Microsoft have set up so many sites saying that the PS3 stuffs up all the time etc. But there have been no reports that the PS3 has stuffed up, every shop that sells the PS3 have got no reports that the PS3 console has just stopped working. PS3 is a console that everyone should have.
this argument is rediculous....
first off its not about which system is better then the other, ps3 vs 360. nor is it about 'fanboys' of 360 complaining about it not coming to xbox. its about the upsome amount of MGS fans that didnt have the money to dish out for the ps3 so they got a 360. i admit i own a 360 and i am a diehard MG fan since the begining (MG nintendo era). but think about it for a sec am i going to dish out 4 to 500 bucks to get a ps3 then pay another 60 bucks to get one game?? sheesh thats almost half the rent that i pay.... thats money for food, beer, liquor, and a bunch of cheap b rate movies like 'Death Bed the bed that eats people.'
im sure sometime down the road 360s going to have some game that ps3 fan are going to complain that its not on the ps3. why??? because its cheaper to complain then it is to spend on a new system plus a game.
think logic... people love money but dont want to put in the work to get it... thats just the truth.
people still actually beleive there will be a port,
with all the sony merchandise featured in the game and the fact Sony' making the film makes it very very very unlikely.
people sayig Konami would be mad not to use microsofts install base to make more profit i think are wrong, why?
1. Konami is a Japanese company with Kojima' team based in Japan etc, the install base for ps3 is much higher than 360 in japan and this will sell over there.
2.They made use of the Blu-Ray and extra capacity making it hard to make a port for 360 and they have already spent a huge amount of time and money on this game already.
3.as someone mentioned, its Kojimas last game and the series will finish on the PS3 where the franchise really stepped up its game and gained alot of its fans etc. on the playstation.
4.The metal gear 2 on xbox was nowhere near as popular as ps2.
5. The limited edition gun metal ps3, sony ericcson metal gear phones etc
6.This will sell a great amount of PS3 and there are some good games coming out and things look good for ps3, Ps3 is selling better than 360 everywhere apart from america, unless your a fan-boy then you'll have to get a PS3 for this game. Whos to say the ps3 install base will be as high as xbox when this comes out.
7. I personally think that Kojima has NOT done the thing that most devs are doing these days, and what really goes against the 'art of gaming' and that's puting money before quality, he has gone that one step further to acheive his goal and raised the bar for developers all around the world. Most Devs will sell-out for the money, most go cross platform simply to cash in, whereas if they took more time and developed it on Ps3 hardware the quality should be greater. This will be a masterpeice and we can all share in hideo's greatest sucess and fulfill snakes ultimate final mission.
Seriously, all of this fanboyism and arguements for and against the port are so annoying!
Personally I'd like it to come to the 360, just like I hoped MGS3 Subsistence would come to the xbox like substance did. Why? at the time it was because I had an xbox, had sold my ps2 (which I got MGS2: Sons of Liberty for on day of release) and wanted to play an awesome game I would love. (I bought mgs2: substance for xbox and borrowed a friends ps2 and mgs3 which all got stolen, except a few xbox games, including mgs2 :D)
Why do I want mgs3 on the 360, then?
Because in the future if I had the money, a 360 and mgs4 would be cheaper than a ps3 and mgs4.
The fact is all I have is a xbox that is borrowed from a friend, not enough money to get a console soon and an urge to play mgs4 so bad, I'm asking everyone I know if they have a ps3 I can borrow/hire for a few days. If all fails I can fall back on spending the weekend at a friend who's getting it, but I'd really like to play it without feeling guilty for playing it when my friend wants to, and play it all by myself.
Either way, roll on Thursday 12th June 2008.
Sneak out indeed.
All of this 'fan boy' nonsense makes me laugh. What's with the console war and siding? Do you all not have enough money to buy both systems?
It's about the damn games and having fun. If you want to side with either multi-billion dollar, emotionless and greedy corporation and fight for them than that's your prerogative. Personally I'm sticking with a realistic perspective that it would be beneficial to more consumers if MGS4 was ported, but if Konami wishes to keep their word that's fine too.
Give the bickering a rest.
I don't like exclusives at all. I hate that idea. It only gives more profit to Video Game Consoles and less fun to PC Gamers.
An example is GTA IV, It's a console exclusive for both XBox 360 and PS3. However, many people who don't own or can't rent a game console will be deprived from the game.
Another is Konami's own MGS3. It's a PS2 Exclusive. They didn't port it to XBox or PC. They had less sales than MGS2 but it remained (and abandoned) as an exclusive. Well screw them because it's a prequel! And prequels are usually bad and irrelevant.
Another one is this, MGS4. It will be a PS3 Exclusive and will deprive both PC and Xbox 360 owners from playing the game. Well Sony will earn more because die-hard fans will buy a PS3 even if they have already an XBox 360 or a juiced up PC. While those who can't afford buying another console will suffer because they can't play the game =( . Well good for Sony because they're going down the drain because they can't outsell the Wii or the XBox 360 and this game is gonna be their savior.
Screw console exclusives!!! Of course no one would even think in renting (or lending) their PS3 or XBox 360 because the world is selfish. So are Sony and Konami. Why won't they think about spreading their great game to more people rather forcing them to buy an expensive console just to play the game.
I hope that they should get rid of this 'console hype' and just get it to all platforms. The PC's more flexible than both the XBox 360 and the PS3 because the console's parts are not upgradable and once a component breaks, the whole console is useless (if it's not under warranty).
Actually kind of disappointed about this, was hoping that it would have been on the 360.
I've been a MGS fan for a while, but the cost of the PS3 and the poor titles they have seemed to have are keeping me away from it. I would really love to play this game one day and I might just do what Sony wants and go out a buy a PS3 so that I can play this game.

wow....I can't believe xbox fans are trying to tempt Konami this much to get MGS 4 on xbox 360. When will they ever learn....Hideo Kojima hates the xbox 360, can't you morons figure that out?
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
Ok idiot, where do you get your information?, your a complete babbling dumbass, get your facts straight. Kojima does NOT hate the Xbox 360, or Microsoft, and if he did, then why did he sign a partnership with them?
DMC retard!, think about it, if DMC came out for 360, and Kojima still enjoys making money, then he WILL have MGS4 put on the Xbox 360 console. I have made many topics about this on www.charlieoscardelta.com, and they are all perfect, no fanboyism.
So why don't you shut the hell up, and accept that MGS4 will come to the Xbox 360 in due time!
And for people that say that its going to be on an extremely toned down version, its not, only a programmable version adapted to the 360, all it is, is changing the numbers and codes on the disc, removing the blu-ray, and slapping on the Microsoft logo.
dudesteve lets see what the 360 has to look forward to then shall we... gears of war 2, left 4 dead, halo wars,
Little Big Planet, Metal gear solid, Haze, Home, Unreal tournament 3(for europe), Final Fantasy (haha another big miss for Xbox's). Now lets look at Xbox: Too human (yet another Halo/Bioshock game, devil may cry 4
dudesteve lets see what other games the 360 has to look forward to then shall we before you run your mouth off moron... gears of war 2, left 4 dead, halo wars, dead island, fable 2, huxely, infinite discovery, project offset, warhound and many more.
All you ps3 fanboys were convinced left 4 dead was coming for ps3 but how wrong were you ^_^ besides gears of war 2 and left 4 dead will make up for the 360 not having mgs4 and we get yet another set of online games that own the ps3.
As for some of the ps3 titles you mentioned haze is a pile of crap and potentially one of the worst over hyped games for the ps3, home is boring as hell, little big planet is no big deal for 360 owners to miss out on.
Remember when RE4 was a GC exclusive, and Capcom had no plans of a PS2 version? I do.
It would be pretty cool if MGS4 came out for the Xbox360, and it would be a real plus in Konami's wallet too, personally I think it would be cool to see the difference and inovations they put into the games for the different systems, I own all three systems so I think it would be cool.
Xbox 360 are thieves and that's why they suck. Now that Itagaki (of Ninja Gaiden fame) has left, let's see what this supid Xbox can do to stay afloat.
