Metal Gear on the 360

This is possibly fake, as I haven't been able to confirm this on any of Konami's websites. But it would be pretty cool if it were true.

KONAMI ANNOUNCES KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS TEAM FOR XBOX 360
Two Blockbuster Titles Already Under Development

OSAKA Konami Digital Entertainment Japan, a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced a new, exclusive for the Xbox 360 gameconsole, development team will be formed inside Konami Corporation. On January 11, 2007, Konami Corporation merged and consolidated its group companies. Accordingly, former Konami Computer Entertainment Japan East Team, lead by creator Hideo Kojima (Corporate Officer, Konami Corporation), embarks on a new era as “Kojima X Productions” inside Konami Corporation.

The newly formed Kojima “X” Productions is proud to announce that Metal Gear Solid: Triology is currently in development for the XBOX360 ( X360 ) next-generation computer entertainment system from Microsoft ( MS ). Metal Gear Solid: Trilogy will be a remake of three Hideo Kojima’s masterpieces. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. The Metal Gear Solid series, is highly acclaimed worldwide, with its breathtaking graphics, profound stories, intricate human drama, original game design and superlative gameplay. Also under development is one other exciting game in the Metal Gear series — Metal Gear Solid: Fluid Ac!d for the Microsoft Zune media player.

I give some of my opinions on my blog (click my sig) where I posted this originally, but I wanted to know what some of you guys would think if this were actually real.

Hmmm this does sound awesome....maybe a little too awesome.....i think its probably a fake.....but havnt said that it would probably take like 2-3 years to render all three games on the 360.....so maybe it could happen.......what i dont get is why? will there be extra features such as a multiplayer option on all three games?

[XxSephirothxX]

People have been suspecting that MGS4 will be released for the 360 for quite awhile, and I still think that's a possibility. But a remake of the original three games for the 360? And "Fluid Ac!d" for the Zune? I would bet money it's fake.

[JKTrix]

Definitely, the Zune thing is what initially tipped me off on the 'what the hell?' scale.

The use of remaking the original 3 for the 360 has a couple of benefits, couple that I mentioned on my blog. It gets their team familiar with the 360's architecture so they can either make new games or port MGS4 easier. Also, it could be for all the Xbox fans who haven't played the entire Metal Gear Series yet, so they can experience one of the standout franchises of the industry. MGS2 was on the original Xbox as well.

I recall hearing a rumor a month or two back that MGS4 was going to be released for 360, but I wrote it off as just that-- a rumor-- because I couldn't find it confirmed anywhere. It's rather interesting that it's popped up again. Still, I think I'm going to wait until I hear more to pass judgment on it.

[Jowy]

MGS4 for the 360 got shot down.

[JKTrix]

The MGS4 rumour hasn't popped up again, though the 'news' may lead to increased speculation about it. This particular bit of info surrounds the apparent formation of a Xbox 360 division of Kojima Productions who is working on the Metal Gear Solid trilogy for the 360. And a game for Zune. Which is likely false.

[Scruator]

The story is a fake.

And MGS4 would probably be releases on the 360 at some point in the future but it'll be a time-released exclusive at the very least for the PS3 in any case.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

if this happens i wont have a reason to buy a ps3 and get a 360

[JKTrix]

That's precisely why Konami will not announce that the game is coming to 360 (if it is) until well after it's out on PS3.

[Scruator]

Well one thing to consider and the thing that would make Konami release it on the 360 is if the sales aren't that high due to a small user base, it may change within the the next year but at the moment the PS3 doesn't have a large base while the 360 has 10 million sold worldwide so from a business view it would make a bit of sense to at least consider it.

Complete exclusives are becoming more and more rare these days.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Come on Konami, go all the way and make a 360 version of MGS4 to go with this.

[MecaKane]

Come on Konami, go all the way and make a 360 version of MGS4 to go with this.

You missed the part where pretty much everyone said it was bull.

[Dreddz]

Remaking all the Metal Gears for the 360 ? This has got to be fake....

[Psychotic]

If it was real, though, the Xbox 360 would look very tempting.
