Metal Gear on the 360

[Wolf Kanno]

Generally, if it's too good to be true, it's most likely a rumor. Though I can see them porting MGS3: Subsistence over to the X-Box 360. But doing complete remakes of all three and releasing it as a trilogy? Not going to happen. It's too far fetched but if it was true, the 360 would start looking a little better. Hell, MGS4 is the only thing that the PS3 has shown that I find deserving of "must have" status. If that game was released on the 360 eventually, I would probably have to pick it up. Both parties have alot to win if they consider this plan of action...

Even if it was true this is nothing.

Now DQ IX going to the DS, Thats a real story. And more exciting than MSG.

Well I'm swayed. The opinion of someone who cannot even spell the acronym of the series correctly, clearly negates the quality of a series of increasingly innovative and enjoyable games.

And this news is dispite the fact that Kojima has stated on multiple occasions that he see's Metal Gear Solid as a playstation exclusive franchise.

Which is why he and Miyamoto had a friendly discussion a few years back and ended up causing MGS: The Twin Snakes to be developed by Silicon Knights? Seriously, none of these rumors appear to be true at the moment, but Konami and every other game company out there (except maybe Nintendo and their first-party developers) is feeling the strain of increased development costs for next-gen games. If MGS4 or some sort of compilation arrives on the 360, it may be because Kojima's bosses told him to, not because he wished it. Spreading around one of their biggest franchises is an obvious way to see maximum profit for such an expensive game.

This bit of news will probably send the people who actually thought that 9 GB DVD's were enough for this generation of gaming into a frenzy, but as crazy as it sounds, Hideo Kojima recently said that "Blu-Ray is too small for Metal Gear Solid 4."

The current spec of Blu-Ray is only 25 GB, and he wants
the newer spec 50 GB Blu-Ray for MGS4. (Not a Dual Layer 25 GB Blu-Ray, but the single layer 50 GB Blu-Ray)

While Hideo Kojima doesn't necesarily care much about
HD, he says there's a lot you can do with sound that would fill up a
Blu-Ray disc really quickly. On top of everything else in the game this
apparently makes the game go way past the 25 GB limit. And Kojima said
that he wants to use the new higher spec 50 GB Blu-Ray for MGS4.

Well I guess that confirms it. MGS4 for Xbox 360, an 18 disc box set! lol

On a serious note though, it looks like MGS4 on X360 won't even be possible.

And now we have our answer. I forgot were I saw that but I'm dumb like that

There's another good reason it might not get ported to the 360: motion control. Kojima has said the game will use it, and I saw a few things in the most recent video that looked like they'd be using motion control for some key gameplay actions. Maybe the controls could be adapted to work with the 360 controller, but my bet would be any motion controls would be added on top of existing control schemes (ie: I'd bet Snake rolling on the ground while prone is controlled with tilt while crawling would still be analog controlled), which could make a port of the game impossible without dumbing it down.

"So, is MGS4 coming to the 360?"

No, probably not.
