But shouldn`t you lems hoping that MS will annuouce new IP or sequel for their big games ? ( for ex. Halo 4, Geow3............. )Foxhound_spy
They should, yes.
But this thread will do nothing to reduce the ownage if/when it's announced.
Seriously MGS4 is a 1 year old game. Already sold 4.5 million copies on PS3 alone. Hype is already gone. If MS thinking that all gamers will buy 360 just for an old PS3 game they are dead wrong. And it further proves that MS depend too much on PS games to sell their console. Im` surprised that many lems here hoping that MS will annouce MGS4 as their megaton annoucement. To claim ownage on cows ? Are they desperate or what ? Lol you guys should search for another option if you guys desperate for that. If MS manage to claim MGS4 timed exclusive that make sense. I`m not saying it`s a bad thing. But shouldn`t you lems hoping that MS will annuouce new IP or sequel for their big games ? ( for ex. Halo 4, Geow3............. )Foxhound_spyYeah, I have to say that lemmings hoping for a late multi-plat above all else is a bit "short-sighted" when it comes to anticipating E3. Don't get me wrong. Cows are guilty of this too (Mass Effect for instance).
Unless Sony had some sort of deal with Konami preventing a 360 release,I don't see whats stopping konami making a 360 version.
It would make perfect buisness sense.
Plus imagine the cow tears.

really? oblivion, lost planet and dead rising were all one year old before they went to the ps3. and they all sold well for the 360 back when they were not on the ps3. mgs4 being 1 year old and selling 4.5 million copies means jack ----. i don't understand why lems are hyping mgs4 for the 360. personally, i think the mgs series is crappy and boring. btw, how can MS claim mgs4 as a timed exclusive? it's on the ps3. if it ever does come out for the 360, which i doubt, then it's a multiplat. we already know MS is going to announce new games for the 360 and sequels. what should be worrying you and your fellow cows is what sony is going to do. they've already said they are now targeting the casual audience. prepare for a sony e3 '09 on the same level as nintendo's e3 '08.
It would make perfect business sense to take a gamble and put time, money and resources into porting a year-old game which already achieved optimal sales and was built ground-up for its home console (which would make the year-old port all the more painstaking)?Unless Sony had some sort of deal with Konami preventing a 360 release,I don't see whats stopping konami making a 360 version.

Your desire for cow tears is obscuring your judgment.
i personally dont getwhy people make such a big deal out of MGS4 except for the 10 it got here which doesnt really mean anything to me
but if 360 only owners really wanna play mgs4 that bad its prolly only like 40$ to rent a PS3 and mgs4 at blockbuster or froma friend to just beat it and complete the series
agreed, if that is their megaton then colour me disapointedPLEASE let it not be MGS4. I have no interest at all for that game.
PurpleHaze89
It would be kind of lame if it was, it would be "big" just as FFXIII's announcement was, but in both cases it would be an announcement that now another group gets to play the same game as another, which is like yeah, okay, but that doesn't help my 360 when I own both, I'd much rather have a decent new game be announced, then an amazing game going multiplat, ownage wise, of course the choice would be MGS4, but realistically, a new game would be preferable.

But you forget porting from the PS3 to the 360 is a walk in the park compared to the otherway round.Thats what alot of devs are doing now.
It would take some effort yes,but it would be worth it for Konami,360 owners who like the series and SW .
I dunno why people hype Microsofts E3 so much in the first place. It'll be good for sure but I doubt we'll have a bombshell announcement that somehow puts Microsoft on top again. It seems people expect a lot after the FFXIII announcement last year but that was under special circumstances. Microsoft couldn't deliver like that again.
As for MGS4 going to the 360, Ill make sure to give out one big epic yawn in that one happens. A year-old port of a game isn't exactly exciting news for anyone that has played the game already.

(remember Bioshock on PS3) Your desire for cow tears is obscuring your judgment. Are you seriously putting bioshock up against MGS4?? and this time, the porting if from a console with the LOWEST software sales, to the console with the HIGHEST software sales and attach rate. On top of that, there are MILLIONS of 360 owners who want to play this game, some of them just for ownage. I have no doubt that if it is announce, it will sell AT LEAST 2m, and thats not counting the SW 360 fanboys. Lets be fair here. And onto your sig, Next Order was right, it didnt break 400k in NPD, your link is for worldwide sales ;)[QUOTE="GabeNewellsPie"]

:lol: that made me lolHowever, I think what you said actually makes sense. Porting it will not require a huge amount of effort and they will be able to double their target market. However, as others have said, if this really is MS's big announcement I'll be very disappointed. I want new IP's not year old ports.
It would be huge. The AAAAE would be gone. Anyways, I don't care. I wouldn't buy it. I've played it and I didn't like it. So yeah, no interest whatsoever. It'd be huge ownage, though.
It would take some effort yes,but it would be worth it for Konami,360 owners who like the series and SW .No. It would just be worth it for 360 owners who like the series and, more specifically, the hardcore lemmings on SW. Konami on the other hand wouldn't benefit as much. Ports of games at least a year old tend to fall short sales-wise.GabeNewellsPie

While that would be a big announcement (and a port is doubtful), as a gamer that has BOTH machines, I would prefer M$ actually has a BIG ANNOUNCENT regarding a game I haven't played.
Last Year's FFXIII was a GIANT announcement, but I was like, "I am already getting that game". Multiplatform announcements should never shadow a real exclusive annoucement, but that's marketing for ya.
Anyways, if MGS4 comes to 360, that's fine, but I hope that's not the MEGATON, because dang, that would blow.

Yeah, that's what I've been saying, and so far since the year doesn't look super great for the 360, their big announcement to be a year old multi-plat would not be cool. I'm sure any gamer thinking realistically would agree a new exclusive would make for a much better announcement, even if it isn't as big "ownage".MGS4, one game, isn't worth $400.i think it would be lame if it did come to the 360 i doubt it though. if people wanted to play mgs4 they wouldve bought a ps3 by now or played it over a friends house

It wouldn't be the first time you guys stuck your foot in your mouth.
I'd buy the game again if it was announced for the 360. Achievements, online with friends (and hopefully none of that Kojima online shenanigans), and a much better controller would all be major improvements in my book.
Are you seriously putting bioshock up against MGS4??>navyguy21
What's so unimaginable about that? While Bioshock may have not gotten the same critical acclaim as MGS4, I find the game to be head and shoulders above Metal Gear. Don't get me wrong, MGS4 was one of my favorite games this generation...but so was Bioshock. Bioshock's narrative dives into much more complicated concepts and themes than MGS4's which, while extremely well written and fleshed out, is still a relatively cookie-cutter premise which we can find in hundreds if not thousands of novels at our local bookstore. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Bioshock did sell more combined than MGS4 (please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't checked recently).
In the end, I don't see why putting Bioshock against MGS4 is so shocking...
PLEASE let it not be MGS4. I have no interest at all for that game.
PurpleHaze89
Ditto.
Don't get me wrong, I would be interested to see how cows who said it couldn't be done on the 360 or it would never happen would respond, but beyond that, I'd rather have a new exclusive game.
Damage controlling a rumor I see. A new low for SW.
MGS4 is an overrated game. If it came on the 360, Lems wouldn't care about playing it, they would just rub it in the Cows faces because they got their one and only definitive exclusive.
I would love for it to be MGS4. Just for the lols. I felt the same way about FF13. I have no intention of playing either game on the 360, but the DC in SW would be off the charts.
But Lems, it ain't going to happen. There is Apple product placement in the game for goodness sakes.

dont give me that crap, cows care more about MGS4 than they do about Bioshock, i never said bioshock was a bad game, im talking about how the WORLD views the 2 games a a whole, and you know that MGS4 is a bigger game. Cows claimed ownage over a game that they insisted was a multiplat because it was on PC, yet somehow it was a blow to 360 when it came to PS3. Now that MGS is just RUMORED, cows act like "its teh year old port" but they were excited about a MULTIPLAT. Double standards FTL??? So dont sit there and act like the backlash would be the same, and you KNOW thats what i mean. I would never say one game is better than the other unless i was stating MY opinion, but i cant judge for others, nor did i try to.why is anyone anticipating MGS4 going to the 360 in the first place? have there been any signs at all, or just lemming dreams?
Yeah.:P On the other hand, if it hurt PS3 that badly, it would push Sony to even more vigorous competition, so they would HAVE to enhance their games even more to stay profitable!:D However, I get the impression that Konami moved on to Metal Gear Touch, so I don't know if they're going to have time for a port.Unless Sony had some sort of deal with Konami preventing a 360 release,I don't see whats stopping konami making a 360 version.

Would MGS4 be a huge announcement for MS at E3? Hell yeah it would. Unlike Sony, MS knows how to effectively market the hell out of their products, as demonstrated by the ridiculous sales of Halo 3 and Gears of War 1 and 2. This is Metal Gear Solid 4 we're talking about, it's a very well known IP and would be an effective marketing tool for them.
Having said that though, I really don't expect MS to announce a port of MGS 4 at E3. The Sony and Apple product placement (Snake using a DualShock to control the MK2, Otacon's MacBook Pro, etc.) in the game pretty much rules that out in my mind.
