Microsoft's Robbie Bach on MGS4: "We'll see"

Why do people want MGS4 ported over to the 360? The game won't fit a DVD and having multiple DVDs is dumb. You lose 1 DVD, you lose the whole game. How hard is that to understand.MaximumD

I dont understand, I thought games could be pressed on multiple disks?

^^^^ UUMMMmmmm not really , According to gamerankings (you know the site that averages out all the review scores ) Splinter cell 1 and Splinter cell Chaos Theory are both AAA games and splinter cell double agent is a AA a game. Same thing goes for Metal Gear Solid, according to game rankings.com MGS for consoles has two AAA games and one AA game.IFBB-PRO

Like i said in the end both games review wise are very similar (according to gamerankings.com), I will end up getting mgs for ps3 and SC for 360. Both of them will offer something different story wise and gameplay wise. People who are willing to accept both games as pretty much equals and are not fanboys are the true winners in the end since they will be playing both of them unlike some fanboys who refues to give a good game a chance.

I'm sorry but to say that SC is on par with MGS in any way is completely wrong.

EDIT: I'm not talking about multiplayer, just the singe player experience.

It cost what, like 30 million to develop? That means they have to sell half a million to break even. Historically though, they sell about 4-5 million. I think they'll be ok with their 270 million dollar profit.

thats not even close to how it works, u dont just go "ok 60 times X and thats the cost...the developmental costs, plus production, the pay for the people making the game, the share of the retail stores, sonys share...games arent 100% profit

do have a point to make? it's still going to sell enough.

The point is that Konami is a Company, and for companies enough ISN't enough.

I'm going with the whole "one year exclusive" thing. I think that's realistic, and it would be particularly funny if it were true, especially since someone in the MGS4 camp recently said something like "if you want to play MGS4 next year, you'll need a PS3." Yes, next year. What about the year after?

MGS4 is enormously expensive and the PS3's install base is so small that they may not even make their money back, much less make a profit. The PS3's dismal sales are the reason why the REALISTIC (no matter what anyone says) rumors of MGS4 going to the 360 keep popping up. Kojima can talk all he wants about MGS4 being PS3-exclusive, but Konami is the publisher and they're strictly in it for the money, as are all publishers. If the PS3 doesn't really pick those sales up, especially after MGS4 is out, then you're gonna see it elsewhere.

Either way, Im getting the ps3 version. Who wants to wait for a port?

True words. I have both systems and EVEN IF it goes to the 360 I would want the original PS3 version not some port down the road.

I agree, Kojima has said no countless times and it hasn't changed. Sorry Lemmings if you want MGS4 you have to get a PS3. And splinter cell will get pwned by MGS4.

The PS3 is only $400. Consider the current PS3 install base, 5 million. If the game's sales do not exceed the install base, what is going to make it sell better on 360? On that note, 5 million copies would be enough to break even. Do you think the install base won't even go above 5 million after the holidays? It's not a myth that $400 dollar consoles sell well over the holidays. Evenrightafter the holdays, it will be three months before MGS4 arrives.

In other news, MGS: Party Animals announced for Wii.Ilived

it'll be out on 360 a few months after the 5 people who own a PS3 have bought itthe_h_bomb

i don't think it will be a few months - probably more like a year. i do see it going to 360 eventually...or not. kind of hope it would.

i think splinter cell is a good franchise, but its definitely no Metal Gear Solid.

MGS4's gameplay has been heavily refined. Dynamic camo suit, a new arsenal of seamless stealth moves, way more weapons than any previous game, much larger enviorments, yet you say the gameplay hasn't changed?

5 people? It isnt MGS2 we are talking about, MGS4 looks like a game that everyone will want to play.

it'll be out on 360 a few months after the 5 people who own a PS3 have bought itthe_h_bomb

so then they can sell it to the 12.5 people who own a 360?

Overexageration a bit too much buddy.

Translation = Not a chance.Jared2720

agreed. "we would like it on your platform" then he starts blabbing about SC

Gonna add my two cents in.

Both titles are great. Depends on yur tastes. As for the mention MGS4 maybe the savior of the ps3 lets not forget people thought the same thing about Heavenly Sword and look how that turned out. And I really wouldnt want MSG4 ported to 360. It was born on a Sony system, let it end on a Sony system. Now I would welcome a newfranchise from Kojima on the 360 no question.

I like to add to that by saying that SingStar will be coming out in Nov,sure it may not matter to us Americans but to people in the Uk that game is huge,it's like their version of Halo 3 and with this $400.00 console and the price drop on the 60 gig over there I can see alot of PS3's flying off the shelves over there.

Anyone who ignores how big Singstar is in the Uk is blind.

more proof of MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive

but that doesnt matter. lemmings will continue to say its going to 360

[QUOTE="Jared2720"]Translation = Not a chance.blue_hazy_basic

Yup to me this seems to confirm a no-go for MSG on the 360.

yeah, even though kojima pretty much confirmed it months ago
