MGS4 360 or Not - Keep ALL Discussion Here

[QUOTE="sakura_Ex"]

Sorry no MGS4 for the 360 for now at least http://www.incgamers.com/Games/1728/News/Konami-On-MGS-For-360/14015

Another article can be found on N4G.

I still say some kind of contract was put into place,there were waaaaaaaaay too many Sony products in MGS4 ( it was like one big Sony ad space ).

You'd think that'd be the end of story at least for the time being, but peolpe will still obsess over it.

Xbox 360 Nets the Winner with PES 2009 Fans

A Pro Evolution Soccer 09 Xbox 360 bundle is headed to European countries.

October 16, 2008- Starting 24th October in Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and United Kingdom Xbox 360 will exclusively bundle Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 with their Pro console. For a limited time and the estimated retail price of £189.99/€269.99, the bundle will include Konami's PES 2009 popular video game in a custom box and the console with a 60GB hard-drive.

"We are thrilled to partner with Konami to give football fans the latest in high-definition gaming at a great price in time for Christmas," said Chris Lewis, third-party marketing manager for Europe.

The Xbox 360 PES bundle is great value and is perfect for those who want the complete football gaming and entertainment experience.

So really, how long will it be before we see a MGS4 Bundle, May, June or July 2009 ? :twisted:

SecretPolice

Meh, PES sucks, Its all about Fifa!!! :D:D:D

Kojima himself said many times that there is no 360 version. The guy in the article is a 360 rep who said 360 could run it. He has no credibility thats probaly pure jealousy speaking.

MGS4 on 360 is NOT happening

lol.

worst kept secret in gaming.

this WILL happen

Xbox360_4_Me

Even if it were to happen there is no way it will be as good or come out in the next 2 years

I don't even get why people here are against MGS4 going multiplatform, fanboys at their best (but let's not speak about them).

I think MGS4 is coming to the Xbox 360 and I've been saying that for more then a year. I played the game on the PS3, absolutely loved it but will not own a PS3. On the other hand I'm getting a 360 so I'd be delighted to own this game on that platform. Just confirm the game and give us a release date Konami, I'm tired of waiting.

btw its never going to happen :twisted:

I thought this stupid rumor being debunked already....... Follow this link :

If fanboys around here still bump this thread rumor for the next 2 days I don`t know what to say...........

Any real MGS fan would have already played this by now.Snowboarder99

Quoted for truth

I personally think putting MGS on Xbox 360 is quite redundant, since Metal Gear games almost never sell well to non fans. MGS2 for Xbox and MGS:TTS for Gamecube were both failures, and it's because everyone who wanted the games bought a Playstation system for them. If MGS4 comes out on Xbox 360, it will be selling to a small but vocal minority, since most Xbox owners don't want MGS4 on the system for any reason other than bragging rights.

And has anyone else grown tired of hearing lemmings say "ooh I can't wait to play MGS4 on my Xbox!" whenever there's a rumor about it being ported, but when the rumor gets shot down they say "Thank God, MGS4 is garbage with no gamplay and 10 hour cutscenes!"? From a psychological perspective, this tells me that they do not want it on the system because they want to play it, but rather because it would be a symbol of Xbox 360 having some kind of superiority over the PS3. If that's the case (as I believe it is), then Konami porting it wouldn't really be much more than them joining Square and Namco on the "stick it to Sony" bandwagon. MGS4 on Xbox 360 would be more of a disservice to PS3 than it would be a service to Xbox 360 owners.

"Without update or retraction, the original Morningstar story was edited to mention the Winning Eleven (known over here as Pro Evolution Soccer) and Castlevania series in place of Metal Gear Solid 4."

sounds more like a cover up then simply fixing an error.

Give it up lemmings, you won't be playing this AAAA title unless you buy a PS3.

But don't worry, at least you get to play Soccer... :lol:

Any real MGS fan would have already played this by now. It's good for those who never got into the franchise and would like to try it though. I will probably be lost trying to make sense of the story though.Snowboarder99

Not true, then why havent I played it? hmm?

It's good for the publishers/devs/fans/gamers no doubt, but bad for Ps360 owners like me imo.

killerfist

Why? Does your PS3 copy of the game turn into a pumpkin the day it goes multiplat? The money you put into a PS3 let you get the game a year or more before 360 owners will get the game IF this rumor was true. And it's not as though your system does nothing else, or there are no other games on the PS3.

It's just a bit silly that people cheer for exclusives to "justify" their purchase, when really, at this point the money is spent, it makes no difference. Other than 360 fanboys being jerks in SW, the implications of MGS4 going multiplat would be positive. I really have no problem with games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and even Halo going multiplat. I don't *care* what system I'm playing them on, I'm concerned with the games.

Konami just recently erased their comment and psted that they are working multi plat now.

Ahh, With this latest recanting of the quote, I am now sure what he meant to say is "further titles will be on both platforms"

Now, whether that means another version of MGS4 or not, i dunno, but I'm pretty sure, judging by MS's seemingly surprised responce to the rumor, they, too, were unaware of anything going on.

I just don't know anymore. I still stand by my statement about hoping it stays exclusive for SONY's sake. For cryin' out loud, it's their only big-budget 3rd party exclusive! (as far as I know..)

Don't take this as a diss, as people seem to be overly defensive here, but why would you defend a multibillion dollar corporation for the sake of their image rather than us, the consumer, who is losing a lot more from exclusives than companies (used to) realize.

They're getting smarter now. They see that the average consumer, the people they bank on to keep them alive (note, NOT the hardcore userbase) doesn't go out there and purchase 2 or 3 gaming consoles. They purchase one, and burdening them with that choice causes consumer confusion, something every company wants to avoid whether or not it's in favor of their product or not.

I'm no hardcore gamer. I have all three systems and have invested thousands into gaming with an HDTV, countless games, and countless sleepless nights, but if System Wars is anything to display the "hardcore gamer" attitude, than I'm straying away from that. I enjoy games, casually.

By the way, I really do hope MGS4 does come to the 360 (although I do doubt it) as I can see MGO having a lot of potential. I'd really like to play it with all my friends who own a 360 and I can see it doing much better on LIVE's unified service rather than the whole Konami ID and Game ID bull they pulled on the PS3. MGO itself needs some gameplay tweaks, however. In my opinion...

Nah I was just saying. MGS4 was the reason that finally pulled me over to the Sony camp this gen, so it kinda saddens me to see it leave (if it happens).

but yeah, I shouldnt really care about it. I played it, loved it and moved on. I'll play this game again after a year. Still lots of stuff to do on the PS triple.

Konami squashes rumor(found it in a thread from the PS3 forums):

"want to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR to all of you who fear or even praised that MGS4 was definetly goin to the 360 after another rumor that poped up that a Konami rep commented that they were lookin into it. Well time to (finally) forget the possibility of MGS4 comin to the 360... Because its not gonna happen. Here is what they said. "

As Kotaku commenter El-Suave pointed out earlier, the quote from Konami PR mouthpiece Yoshitaka Arai about "looking into" an Xbox 360 Metal Gear Solid 4 has since been removed from the original source article. The new quote is from Konami PR manager Chiaki Nakajima, does not mention Xbox 360 or MGS4, and reads:

While making use of each platform's strong suits, we are going multi-platform from now.

Thanks Konami for the ninja edits! As if this **** didn't need more drama. While we're not sure if Arai simply misspoke or was just plain wrong, what we are pretty sure is that guy got in trouble. Big trouble. What do you make of this?

I would say that its more likly that we wernt supposed to know about it yet. think about, if a 360 verson wasnt actually being considered, the article would of corrected and clarified the mistake rather then quietly remove the infomation.

I for one would pick it up if it ever came to the 360, but It wouldnt really kill me if it didnt...
