Kojima wishes people would stop asking about MGS4 on 360 Posted by XanTium | August 26 15:35 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From eurogamer.net: [QUOTE] Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has told Eurogamer that he looks forward to a day when people stop asking him whether MGS4 is coming out on Xbox 360. "I've been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like 'Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?', and in the near future I hope they'll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware," Kojima told Eurogamer in an interview published today. Pressed on MGS4's exclusivity and the possibility of an Xbox 360 port, Kojima reiterated that the PS3 had been chosen because he believed that the series' success had been entwined with PlayStation's, and admitted that "because MGS4 was optimised for the PS3 it is probably not possible".

So, when is MGS4 coming to the Xbox 360?

[troyBORG]

Stop complaining and just do it!

[kawasabi]

What a lamer he is...
Now he can shove his mgs4 up his A$$

"and will stop caring about the hardware"

So, the public as spoken and you just wish they would stop? Huh? If they have an overwhelming amount of requests, I would take that as a hint.....

And you would think that the creator saying "probably not possible" would put the issue to rest. In fact, I said the same thing in a recent post here about it never comming to the 360 due to how it was coded.
The game is done, and I doubt they are going to put the time and money this late after release to go multi plat. Their sales are through the roof, why would they need to release it anywhere else?

Were you aware that Kojima once said the game "could" run on 360 hardware?
My guess is that the change of tune is due to him being tired of being asked about a 360 port.




Back on topic, Kojima is such an @$$

If I was Kojima and I knew that there is a huge demand for my product and there can be even more money to make, I would no doubt do a 360 version. If he feels that he has already made a good amount of money from MGS, he shouldn't stop there- why not make more.

I think he is denying the allegations of a 360 version because may be there is actually one going on or he is just anti-360.

keep it then

Who cares. If you want the game so bad just get a PS3. It still has about another 7 good years out of it so its not like you wont get your money's worth.

Exactly!!!..you don't see Ps3 fans clamering on trying to push the publisher to release GOW on Ps3...

I mean it is ridiculous for 360 fans to even think it....

[spinr34]

i would say it's a good thing that people keep asking him about the 360. i think a 360 version is still possible. maybe not a direct port but, a year or two down the road, mgs4 + some expansion type thing (minus all of the cutscenes). keep pestering mr. kojima!

gow doesn't exactly have the following that mgs does. not to mention, ps fans associate gow with 'god of war'. what would do if they had gears of war too? heh.

Well, I am definitely not paying over $500 dollars just to buy a PS3 and play this game. I am sticking with the Xbox 360. However I think they should come out with it on the Xbox 360 and other systems. It is really their loss for not doing it. I know that the 360 is more than capable of running a game like this. If you look at Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360 (or even the original Xbox) those types of games still impress me today. If those can run on the 360, then this game can too.

I think it's very simple, it's pretty clear that Kojima is deep in the sack with $ony.
I used to think Square was $ony's biggest biatch, but obviously I was wrong....

[Shonk]

It could be ported to the 360 and run as well or better

If its not coming he should just say its never coming to the 360

Thats why people keep asking as he dodges the question
