MGS4 on 360: 'It's inevitable,' says highly-placed source Posted by XanTium | July 15 10:41 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From videogaming247.com: [QUOTE] Following last night's shock news that Final Fantasy XIII will release on Xbox 360, VG247 has been told be a very senior UK industry source that an 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 is "inevitable". "There's only MGS left now: for a few months at least," said the mole. "It's inevitable. Konami knows how many million they'd sell in the US alone. If FFXIII can make it to 360 when Sony owns nine percent of Square, Metal Gear's a slam dunk." [/QUOTE] In similar news ... from multiplayerblog.mtv.com: [QUOTE] So I asked Greenberg when Microsoft would be announcing that "Metal Gear Solid 4" would be coming to the Xbox 360. It is the only major PS3 third-party game still exclusive to Sony's system. Greenberg laughed and said: "That's a question for Konami."

Yeah, how many discs would it be, even with compressed audio?

[DeMoN_DARREN]

Wow! I didn't know that Square was part owned by Sony!

Oh, and God, another MGS4 on PS3 thing... Joy... If its that important to people go get a PS3! Theres no need to fanboy it up

[phrozenfeonix]

MGS4 is easily the most over rated game ever in history, bought the ps3 mgs4 bundle and returned the whole thing a couple days later.

honestly you should care less if it came out for 360 there are way to many amazing games coming out I wouldn't even waste my time if it did come out.

That would be pretty interesting, i'd get it again just to get the achievements. sure it'll be multiple discs but the ps3 version takes 10 minutes to install everytime you start a new act so changing discs is better than waiting for installs. If it comes on the xbox 360 it'll be around 4 discs i recon

Be funny if they keep all the apple stuff in it if they release it on the xbox

[halcyonx12]

Yeah right, look how much Apple and PlayStation imagery and references are in the game as it is (even in the cutscenes, and they actually even show a Sony PlayStation clearly in a cutscene), why would they have all that in there and expect it to appear on the 360?

Also, the PS3 version requires around 10 minutes install TOTAL, not at each act. It's around 2 - 3 minutes of install per act. It's understandable given how different each area looks, and how much data is on the disc. Do you want them to install 20GB to your hard drive? That would totally fill up the smallest 360 hard drive. Honestly, for the length of the cutscenes and the amount of time you'll be trying to uncover everything in all of the levels, you won't notice 3 minutes every 5 hours of play.

Another fountain of knowledge...not.
if you have never played it on the PS3 and it is clear you have not. I would keep quiet. Especially as you are talking crap as regards the installs.

Not to argue this point one way or the other, but Ninja Gaiden Black had a couple power-ups in the game that were in the shape of an XBox. They still put it on the PS3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Oddly, in Ninja Gaiden II (which is exclusive to the 360), the power-up is still in the shape of an original Xbox.

This looks like pure speculation. I don't see MGS4 coming to the 360. And for the guy saying MGS4 is the most overrated game ever, that's just your opinion and one not shared with most people that actually played the game, myself included.

Seeing how it was my post I would hope it would be just my opinion. Where did I say you had to agree with it.

And if you would actually read posts before commenting on them you'd see that I most certainly played the game as i bought the entire MGS4 PS3 bundle to play it.

I'm sorry you take comments on MGS4 so personally, hopefully people keep themselves calm to your opinion of it coming to 360 as pure speculation, and that you don't see it coming out.

Seeing how that's contrary to what "Other opinions" on the matter are, and one not shared with most people.

You can't evaluate it in such a short amount of playing time.
Perhaps it wasn't for you or you were rubbish at it or didn't understand that it is not the usual rush and shot FPS.
Whatever the reason the fact you don't like it doesn't make the game a poor game. It's clearly not that way for many people.
I can't believe you paid all that money for a system for just one game, if you actually did.
