MGS coming to 360, but not MGS4?

I don't get it, why doesn't Konami just give 360 owners what they want? As glad as I am to see mgs finally on the 360, would it be too much to ask to get mgs4? They could sell millions and millions more copies of it if they just ported it. Does Konami have something against making money?

how did you know MGS4 will sell millions and millions on x360?, such a high budget game needs a good install base to cover its costs, since x360 owners mostly aren't into the game ( do you remember how things went wz MGS2 substance), it is not coming to you, BUT luckily Konami is making a good move by testing the response of x360 owners to MGSR which i assume is much less budget than MGS4..... so konami is playing carefully, and dun forget that Konami and Kojima especially are PS lovers.

When you play and beat MGS4, you understand why it won't get ported.

Sony flip the cost of MGS4 to make it a exclusive,In order to make it a exclusive a system manger (MS,SONY,NINTENDO) has to make make up the cost of sales of only releasing it on 1 system. As In;A GAMEsold maybe 200-300k copies PS3 exclusive if sold on mult-platform 400k-700k so Sony would make up the estimated amount the Dev would have lost. OR the system manger pays the cost to develop a game as in the HALO's

Well we get Metal Gear Solid Rising, which i honestly don't mind, because Raiden looks alot cooler than Snake (Don't flame me, PS3 fanboys ;))

Also another reason it is not coming to the Xbox360 is because it uses a Blu-Ray disc to fit all that information on it.

probably cause MGS4 is tied up in Sony exclusive rights which Sony paid for.

my question is why is there another topic about this? and why are people still pissy about it. why cant systems have there own exclusives. just leave it be and move on the world is not going to end.

God forbid people wanting to play one of the greatest games of this generation without dishing out $450 dollars.

Geez

yeah then we might as well not have exclusives. the whole point of games being exclusive is to get you to buy the system. if every game came out for every sytem there is no competiiton. so you might as well just have one major system

Konami wanted to give 360 MGS but not the real MGS sequel.

The real MGS sequel/prequel is Peace Walker for the PSP.

So basically, konami wanted to make money but not give us the real MGS experience which is bs.

Smart on their part though.

yah, that was PS1,this is ten years later. I think people forgot for a reason

Perhaps Sony and Kojima have an exclusivity deal? Maybe if you knew anything about Kojima you would know he doesn't like porting his games? [QUOTE="UT_Wrestler"][QUOTE="dukebd699"] What would be the fun in that? They make fun of having to use multiple discs in the game.senses_fail_06

Its simple 360 cant handle MGS4 and Kojima doasnt want to give microsoft the real MGS he gave PSP the next sequal and made the spin off multiplat to get some money from it I guess he is trying to get some funds for his next new IP PSP version wont cost as much as consoles version to make and Rising will be probably half assed MGS just to get money.

That's why it's called an exclusive.

MS needs to lose that policy of charging extra to Game Devs for multiple game disk games...that policy blows!

Ok then, I'll bet that when MGS Rising comes out it will run on the exact same engine as MGS4, i doubt Konami will be making an entirely new engine this gen for MGS Rising

MGS 4 was built on PS3. It was made specifically to take advantage of that system. Yes lost odyssey and Blue Dragon were on multiple discs, and those games while they look good for graphics, MGS 4 looks better. Also it has a lot of cinematic sequences, If Blue Dragon and Lost odyssey took up 4 discs than MGS 4 would probably take up more. The game is about 75% to 80% movie, so I mean on one disc there might not be anything to play. You also forget about package costs. I highly doubt the laziness of the lost odyssey packaging piling one disc on top of another.

Also when buying a system, you might want to look into more than just one game. I am not saying buy multiple games at a time. I made up a rule, if a system has 5 exclusives or more that I at least want to try out, I will get the system. There is well over 5 exclusives on the other system worth at leas trying out. I wish the hatred for systems would stop? Each system has enough good games to be worth buying.

at least were getting a mgs game
