MGS4 Multiplat

I'm NOT a Microsoft fanboy looking for MGS4 to go multiplat, but I'm wondering, considering MGS's Multiplat past and future (Rising) and the advances made in PC gamepads since the release of Snake Eater. Doesn't MGS4 on 360 or PC seem kind of plausible?

Didn't I just tell you this was speculation and has nothing to do with my disposition towards this or the next console. (To be honest I don't own a 360)

Four wont. But I imagine any future sequels will most definitely me multiplatform.

Who knows? Unless Kojima himself confirms there's no way in hell its coming to PC and 360 its possible.

Im kinda bummed they didnt announce a MGS4+ like they do with every mgs before

If it was happening, they would have announced it. Their total attention is on Metal Gear: Peace Walker and MGS: Rising now.

Considering the approach that MGS4 has taken to the MGS franchise, I'd say it's even more a perfect suit for PC (KB/Mouse). I played the original MGS and MGS2 on PC and they felt great. I'm actually excited for MGS Rising as, IMO, Raiden was far more of a bad*ss in MGS4 than Snake was.

As for MGS4 going elsewhere...Doubt it. It's been out for long enough. Chances are their sales have been fairly maxed. Not completely obviously but they would have to justify the port with sales. Those sales are impossible to predict on any platform.

I don't think it will happen. The future MGS titles will though.AAllxxjjnn

I think a few people are missing my point here. Remember how the MGS2 PC (and XBox?) ports were broken because they really needed analog buttons to work? And don't gamepads for the PC FINALLY support this functionality? And to add to this PC ports have been made of every major console series release since MGS2 except for 3 and 4...

What I'm saying is that while a port of 3 seemed completely inplausible a port of 4 is seeming more and more possible.

Proof? Kojima has been involved in every MGS title in some way, im sure he has a larger part in its development.

Im expecting a flashy action game which kinda annoys me, I would love a traditional Metal Gear game on the 360.

im excited for rising too. I dont get why it gets so much hate here since its not exclusive.

It's too old now. If they announced it tomorrow, by the time they finally got it finished MGS4 will be over two years old. If they were gonna do it, they'd have done it by now.Ninja-Hippo

Except... Didn't MGS (and I think MGS2) have delays of over 2 years before going multi-plat?

He is certainly involved. Technically he's one of the producers. But I think you could call his role 'supervisor'.

'The series' creator, Hideo Kojima, has explained in a Famitsu interview that he's actually only fully involved with the PSP game, where he will be serving as director, producer and game designer. He describes Peace Walker as the "Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me."

As for Rising, Kojima-san will only be serving as producer along side Kenichiro Imaizumi, telling Famitsu magazine:

"I'm not the director. I'm not doing game design either. Although, I do issue complaints (laughs). But, not too much."'

Would love to see 360 gamers get a chance at it, but it doesn't sound like it's in the cards atm. Kojima seems to have a preference working on playstation consoles, which might be why he's staying away from rising and focusing on the PSP MGS. That's the one he's hyping as a "Proper" entry to the MGS series.

Not gonna happen, but lemmings went back to hating MGS4 and praising MGS: Risng

Ain't gonna happen. Every "perfect opportunity" too announce it has past by time and time again. It's now reached the point of wishful thinking.

[QUOTE="walter429"] dunno about allllllll of them. And this one isn't even his game... he's just like, supervising.SakusEnvoy

Yet he makes the anouncement haha

Whatever...im not really expecting much from this game anyway.
