MGS 4 to push the PS3's CPU. Possible bad news for 360 owners wanting a port?

Isn't the PS3's CPU weaker than the 360's? So technically wouldn't the 360 get the better version if hell froze over and this game came to 360?rocktimusprime

X360 CPU normal working regime = Cell limit

Kojima recently confessed that he wants to push the Cell to its limits in order to create the gameplay experience that he has envisioned for MGS 4. Could this possibly mean that if a port was ever announced that the 360 version would be downgraded since its CPU is known to be weaker (according to tons of developers) than the Cell?

Quote:

Kojima also cryptically hinted that the increased processing grunt of the PS3 would be used not only for better graphics, but for the introduction of "psychological" elements.

"I would also like to challenge the PS3's CPU power for not only what you can see, but also psychological effects, or psychological battles, where it can affect your gameplay," he said.

It wont  come to the 360..its specfically made to run on the PS3 ..they are using the cell to make MGS4 too..and kojima already stated that he needs more space on the disk..if it get ported to the 360 its goin to be downgraded so why bother to bring it and risk it bein a total disaster and it  being a  big flop on the 360..i think he learn his lesson before in the past when released mgs2 on the xbox and end results is terrible

Push is a relative term.

One could say that Fight Night Round 3 "pushes" a system too. If Konami uses all resources of the PS3 to run this game its either lazy coding or they are programming masterminds who know how to tap the full potential of a system that hasn't been out for more than half a year on the market.

Yea, neither of those scenarios is very likely. 

It won't goto 360, god doesn't hate cows THAT much.OfficialJab

Its all ready proven PS3 cell is more powerfull thans 360s but people on this board make it seem like its so much more powerfull its only tiny difference, Just like its proven 360s GPU is more powerfull thans PS3s.

360+PS3=same they both can run the games if they wanted to some do better stuff in areas.

Out of all of the post on this topic, this is the only one that makes sense!!!! There is no technical reason MSG4 could not be ported over to the 360. I have played the MGS games in the past and other than a nice memory card reading trick or the inclusion on rumble for key points in the game, there is nothing special in term of pushing the hardware.

Kojima is known for playing psychological tricks with his games and it called HYPE!!!! He makes great games, people love his mannerism (sp?), so when he talks about the Metal Gear franchise, people tune in and open their wallets....He is giving the gamimg community what they want in terms hype because this gen he will need to sell a boatload of games to gain a profit from this franchise....simple as that!!

Game On...

Anything 360 can handle so can PS3 and vice versa. All this stuff you here is just dev hoopla to promote their game as being a unique experience you can only find on that system.Blackbond

PS3>360 Bu.. bu but this a forum full of 360 fanboy..so what can u expect PS3 being better?.. only in lemmings nightmare!

Just because he is trying to challenge and push the PS3's CPU doesn't mean the game can't exist on 360 at all.Mikazukinoyaiba

of course not it will just be downgraded if it goes to the 360..so why would they bother to put mgs4 on there if its goin to flop on the 360.. it goes to show you if  the games is made for the ps3  from the start the xbox360 will always get  the crappy ports..since ps3 is indeeded a more powerful system..

[QUOTE="Mizuke"]I'm sure a workaround could be made to compensate should it go to the 360 (share the love!).Runningflame570

Something tells me it wouldn't take 3 years to port MGS4 to the 360, as it's not taking anywhere near that long to port DMC4. Also I'm sure that alot of the recompiling is an automatic process, it is code checking, optimization, and quality assurance cycles that I presume would be the most time consuming.klactose

PS3's CPU is pretty crazy, for example try running folding at home at a good cpu at home and watch it being beated to death in processing power by PS3s.njpj

 Agreed. Check out the folding@home statistics... the PS3 is, strangely, way on top.

[QUOTE="Dire_Weasel"]No one here actually thinks that MGS4 is going to the 360... do they?tango90101

noone thought MGS:SoL would be on the xbox either, and yet, there it was....

imo, we don't need it; Splinter Cell is what MGS should have been....

Whatever... developers always talk about pushing this and that. I'm sure it will be a fine game, but nothing that couldn't be ported over and scaled if need be.donalbane

there it is in one simple sentence. This is the beautiful and also ugly aspect of console exclusives. On one hand present and future ps3 owners (like me) will have a far more enjoyable experience due to kojima's optimization; Whilst 360 users won't experience it at all.

360 fanboys can't complain, you guys have got mass effect, fable 2, and alan wake.  

hey,im not a 360 fanboy,and i really,really,really want metal gear solid 4 on it,but i know that it's never going to happen and that im going open my wallet very wide and pay the 660 dollars.

A lot of 360 fanboys just want it so they can laugh and say the PS3 has even less games now...
