MGS coming to Xbox live arcade

MGS might be following its tactical steps onto the PS3 and PSP, via an Xbox Live Arcade infiltration. This is not too surprising, since the series has made its way onto non-Playstation consoles a number of times, and Microsoft even published MGS for the PC release.

I expect you're asking how we know, or who our source is. Lets just say a reliable individual tapped into our codec frequency after spying the game on a certain pre-release network. We shall say no more - nudge nudge, wink wink - except this; there are problems in bringing Kojima's masterpiece to this new playing field.

Naturally, rumours can turn out to be false, so we'll bring you more information as it becomes available.

As soon as Halo comes to the PSN I assume.carlisledavid79

Metal Gear Solid is third party, Halo is first party.

Considering Sony doesn't own any of the MGS property, they could, but I seriously doubt Konami would right now.

I know that. But the chances of it happening are slim and none.

With the increased live arcade size limit for games(350mb), plus all the hype for MGS at the moment I can see this happening. Plus why are MS hyping MGS4 on market place?

Pardon me while I go pop in MGS2:Substance for the Xbox, while im at it, I might want to play some MGS:TS for my GC, actually, no. I feel like installing my good ol' copy of the original MGS on my PC, and replay that.

MGS3 is the only exclusive MGS on consoles.

MGS is available on cell phones and IGN reviewed it and gave it a 9.0 if I remember. I don't see how, if it can be a cell phone game, it can't make its way to Xbox Live Arcade.

Yes, remind of those fantastic MGS2 sales on the Xbox again.

Im not saying it wont happen. If it does great, but the chances are slim. (imo)

Well, the MGS2 on xbox came out years after it was on PS2. Most people who really wanted MGS2 likely already had it for PS2. GTA games never did well on the Xboxc but (for the same reason... with 120 million PS2s its not impossible that some people had both a PS2 and Xbox and preffered not to wait a year or more to play the same game) but GTA4 on 360 did.

People won't be jumping out of their seats for this but its a nice addition to XBLA along with X-Box Originals and Soul Caliber.

Its already on the Japanese psn. Too bad the Japanese hate DLC.mbrockway

Yeah, I guess thats why it has been in the top 2 since release :roll:

Bungie doesn't hold the rights to the Halo franchise, MS does.

MGS 1 was on the Gamecube and PC, MGS2 was on the X-Box. I don't think its as slim as you think.

you forgot to mention that Twin Snakes, Substance and MGS VR were all fails in terms of sales exept on the PS consoles (and because TS was never on a PS, but it isnt a HK game, its from SK)

A cow lol? sorry I support both consoles equally. Just because I have an opinion that could be construed as negative towards the 360 does not mean Im against that console. I said if it goes to XBLA then great, Id probably buy it, as its taking forever to come to the UK PSN anyway.

Do you think the 350mb limit would be a problem though?

GTA was also fail on the xbox. You seem to be forgetting about there being 120 million PS2s out there. Its not impossible for people to own one. I doubt when MGS2 launched there were people holding off on buying one because there might be a mystery release on a then unheard of Microsoft system like 3 years after the PS2 version.

Like GTA, there were a few hold outs who bought it for XBox, but most people didn't want to wait 3 years for a release and just got/played the PS2 one. The success of GTA4 should show that its not always the case that 360 owners just hate franchise xxxxxx because it sold poorly on the original xbox. Especially if there were months to years in between the PS2 and xbox version.

Yeah, right after Halo on PSN .black_awpN1

Halo is first party...and MGS is third party...The only exclusive MGS realesed is part three. :?

So in 2001/02 there were already 120 million PS2s?

How about TS, that not only sold poorly, but was hated by the mayority of MGS players or the PC edition that like DC, RE, and FF VII and VIII sold almost nothing and was riddled with issues¡?

Its a clip on a TV show thats on XBL download, like X-Play. and a big fat :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: @ the number of cows that seem to think MGS series is Playstation exclusive.

GTA did not fail on Xbox it still sold 1+ million.Also Metal Gear Solid completely flopped on xbox all around and it only came out a year after the PS2 version while GTA came out 2 years later.Also i don't get why you talk about a 120 million user base because PS2 didn't have even 20 million sold when Metal Gear Solid hit and GTA hit the stores.

Watched me for months? strange since your account was registered just recently. Anyway back on topic. The poor selling Arcade titles are getting purged from XBLA shortly if im not mistaken. So why would they risk putting it up on XBLA anyway.

(im assuming you think mgs wouldnt sell on XBLA judging from your previous post)

#1 You completely missed my point. MGS games on non Sony consoles came out YEARS after the Sony version. I'm just saying that i'm sure some people had long since played it and beat it on PS2 before non-Sony versions were even announced.

#2 I was talking about MGS on 360, not anything about PCs, which isn't even a video game system.

Anyways, I still don't see why you think its such a long shot for a MGS game to come to a non-Sony system. Especially when this happened in the past... multiple times... on multiple systems.

Yeah the sales were so fantastic because Konami waited more than a year to release it on the Xbox. The MGS2 hype had died and anyone who wanted to play it already had. The only one to point the blame at is Konami for being idiots and waiting so long to release it. Its not the Xbox's fault it didn't do good. And Twin Snakes was phenomenal. It was superior to the original in every way but voice acting. The decision to redo the voice acting but leaving the same dialouge was dumb and resulted in the cast sound unenthused and bored.
