a few reasons. developers don't need to compress on the ps3 so they just throw it all bulky like onto a blu ray. also, mgs4 has hours of hd cutscenes which take up more space than the game time equivalent.

and also because kojima doesn't want it to be on 360 so he'll say what he needs to to keep it from happening.

man its not how big the game is , the can fit on 360 dvd9 and ps3 disc, its not coming out on 360 because its an original ps game and sony has rights, if u want the game that bad save up and get a ps3, so then youll have a 360 for gears 2, fable 2, and halo 3, and a ps3 for mgs4, god of war, and ressistance 2, each system has its advantages

first of all i dont even want to buy the game, i was just wandering if the game could come out on a 360 in one dvd. and as for halo, have you guys even played it online, i mean theres endless possibilities in that game plus 4 PLAYER CO OP. plus you can do anything in halo online. as for mgs4 i heard it takes up to 20 hours to beat (most reviews say that) and games like oblivion and mass effect are way longer than that game. i guess if cutcenes are what takes up all the space than why would anyone want a game that 1/5 of the game is pure cutcenes, i mean its called a freaking game?

now im not here to get into a console war, im just here to say that i personnally would be fine with switching discs lots of times to play this on my 360. I hear of people buying PS3's to get this game, now i dont have $500 to spare, food is more important than video games, but i mean really, just please those of us who chose a sole console based on the number of great games compared to the other, i wish i could get a PS3 for one game, but for those of us who have to choose one and stick with it we should not be left out of an amazing game.

i mean if games that are alot bigger like oblivion or mass effect and games like halo 3 which have whole bunch more content. than why does konami say mgs4 wouldnt fit the dvd that 360 uses?

also why cant we use a keyboard and mouse? cant they just make an update so we can use it for rts games or ut3?

It's ok guys...buying a PS3 wont kill you. If ur rly need to play this game then get access to one by buying the system or going by a friend etc...its not the end of the world if it doesnt come to the 360.

  • Hideo Kojima is known as a perfectionist in the industry. He will intensely go over something and retouch/redo until it meets his desired/intended image/effect.
  • (probably the biggest reason) all the audio on the dual-layer BD for the game is uncompressed. Kojima chose not to fetter with or look for even lossless file types, instead just having the PS3 play the raw files. And anyone that's ever created any meaningful content should know - uncompressed audio or video takes up epic amounts of storage space.
Should Konami elect to redo the audio even in a lossless audio codec, they'd easily shave about half the storage space required, which brings it down to a single-layer BD. Careful, optimized compression on the audio and texture data, and it is technically feasible to bring it to a DVD9 (or two). As for keyboard/mouse... learn to adapt or **** off then. I'm sick of the whiners on the computer side that have to endlessly **** and moan that argument. I myself played RTS's and FPS's for years on consoles, especially due to the fact that I couldn't even afford a desktop computer until I was already in my teens, much less anything strong enough to play a game I cared about. So don't give me that **** that key/mouse is better. You don't go around being able to do a full 360-degree spin wearing 80-lbs of combat armor and ammunition, while carrying a loaded gun that probably weighs another 50-lbs. and still be able to get a headshot from 500 yards out, can you? In this respect, a console controller is much more true-to-life, because you turn and weave at a more realistic rate than what these pc gaming 'tards rave on about.

From your recent ratings:

MGS4 - 10
Uncharted - 10
Mass Effect - 8

Your opinion means nothing here.

Anyways, anyone who says that there is no chance of MGS4 coming to 360 is ignorant. And don't compare it to halo 3- Microsoft owns all the Halo brands and stuff, and owned Bungie while the Halo games were released. Kojima is a third party developer, so if Microsoft can offer them enough and Sony can't, they'll bring MGS4 to 360 to make some extra money. It makes sense for them- many 360 owners would buy the game.

Who has no opinion??
who are you trying to flame because u just put down the 360 if anything...
but anyway i dont think theres a chance that MGS4 will come to 360 because of the disk spaced they used but they could compress it all down to mabby 2 dvds but that would be just that much more time and u know.... but if it does that all good i just know i wouldent buy it my self..... but who really cares

originally the game didn't fit the ps3 so they had to cut out parts and compress it further. Good luck with the 360

Just get a Ps3. There are many other games you'll surely get, like, Uncharted, resistance 1&2, motorstorm 1&2, R&C ToD, FFXIII, FFXII VS, Killzone2, maybe Heavenly Sword. MGS4 will be the biggest reason but, you won't regret getting a ps3, peace
