just read about this in the 360 forum what do you think? i dont care as i have both machines. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/a...-xbox-360.html

[Spinke]

It says 'confirmed for Xbox360' but there's nothing at all in the news post to suggest it's even vaguely official.

Probably more wishful thinking on their part.

[dan1991]

this rumour been floating around for a while and its been denied by kojima but it keeps coming back

[Workshed]

I would have thought it will be something like MGS2 where it's released "exclusively on the Playstation" and then sometime later hits the Xbox and PC...

[SoleFever]

I would not be surprised if it did come to the 360 at some point. Considering how low the PS3 user bast is at the min, and how much MGS4 is costing to develop i would think Konami would need to release it on the 360 to bring in a profit. It will probably be a year after the PS3 version though if it does happen.

How is he going to be all stealth like with the noise the 360 makes?

From what I've heard from a source in the games media there may actually be some truth in this. I can't confirm 100% but I believe Sony has one year exclusivity after which it will get released on the 360 but not in the exact same form. It may well be a different game or a cut down version.

So Kojima was lying all along!

Well if this is true then it's still a PS3 exclusive just a timed exclusive. Like I said Sony probably wanted any form of non-exclusivity kept quiet. If that is the case I hardly think Kojima is going to shout it from the roof tops. Konami has a very close relationship with Sony and I doubt he would want to jeapordize that.

Just because Kojima said it wont be coming to the 360 does not mean that it 100% wont happen. Look at that guy from Capcom, cant remember his name, but he said he would eat his hat if Resident Evil 4 ever came to the PS2. Said there was no chance at all that it would happen.

LOL!! I'm no fanboy and I am not being spiteful...but that was funny!!

[RGP]

Kojima did say in a interview a while back that he liked the 360 as its a good business model & would be making a game for it, but did not say what.

It was funny alright, didn't see it coming

Stooshee, how come you have a wii, a psp and a ps3? why not go for a 360, at least then you would have a choice of games.

As for MGS, I think it prob would make since to eventually port it to other consoles to reap back on the money they invested.

If something like Metal Gear Solid 4 Substance came out on 360 would you still class him as lying all along? It's not the same game...

[Jim_Fear]

He said MGS4 was an exclusive, he wouldn't have mentioned time exclusive because that's not business talk, that way he hasn't said anything specific "I said it was an exclusive...I didn't say how long for" etc though this is being done by Kojima studios which is his spin-off from Konami so maybe he's being truthful to some respect, I wouldn't put it past it coming out on 360 in some variety though as already mentioned, again Kojima said MGS4 would be PS3 exclusive, he didn't say anything about a subsistence type game not coming out on 360, one thing I've learnt from working for my current company is don't believe anything till you see physical evidence of it, even if someone big and important says it will happen.

ESPECIALLY if someone big and important says it! I still remember being told CDs would be indestuctible

[Jim_Fear]

I just read the article that was linked to in the first post and nowhere it mentions any confirmation aside from the title...sounds like ***** reporting to me

[welshwitchuk]

Rumours of the highly anticipated PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4 being released for Xbox 360 have been rife for a while now, but it could be more likely that most think.Konami boss Kazumi Kitaue has said the company may have to consider a multiplatform release for the game.The comment on MGS 4's future came during an interview on the recent price drop of PS3 in the US, Kitaue expressing doubts that the cut will make a major difference in the sales situation for the console.

"I don't expect a substantial impact ... With $500, you can buy a personal computer," he told Reuters.
Off the back of this, Kitaue explained huge development costs may force Konami to consider releasing MGS4 on other consoles to increase the available user base and, along with that, its returns on game sales.

"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," he reveals.

MGS4 is being made for the 360, no doubt about that. Its just a matter of when they officially anounce its comming.
I predict a summer 08 release on the 360.

[runam0k]

It's not like Metal Gear hasn't gone to Xbox before. I'm calling timed-exclusive too, which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

PS2 had so many "exclusives" (even though Sony did nothing to secure them as exclusives) because there was no need for a developer to go elsewhere. Right now, if a developer wants decent sales, they have to look to the other consoles. Virtua Fighter, Ace Combat, Devil May Cry, etc were the first of many. It was inevitable: what is Sony supposed to do, pay for them all to remain exclusive?

I do want a 360...bit put off about the failure rates though! I am holding back for an elite though me thinks. I have never played the 360 REALLY so I think I am in for quite a treat as I will have a larger catalogue to pick from.

[eMecha_Infantry]

Taken from the official blog for playstation.

just got word that we’ll have a very cool treat coming this week to the PLAYSTATION Store. What would E3 be without a new Metal Gear Solid trailer?

The latest Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer will be available exclusively for download on the PLAYSTATION Store shortly following our press conference tomorrow. From our friends over at Konami and Kojima Productions, I heard they were still putting the final touches on the trailer a mere five hours before it was hand carried today to Santa Monica for E3!!

As a reminder, the press conference will be streamed here, but if you’re one of the many MGS purists, you will no doubt want to download the trailer straight from the PlayStation Store in HD and 5.1 surround. Enjoy!

[Jim_Fear]

Eeegad! Tomorrow should be awesome

I check PSN last night, nothing new.... maybe today... :D

[Jim_Fear]

PSN will crash tomorrow

WELL SAID - I think thats the key point here, Sony (at the moment) are not the clear market leader, the developers have to make a profit and by limiting the game to one platform is potentially a problem for them.

However, I think within the next year or so with the right support and price cuts the PS3 will become the dominant console (or at least as popular as the Xbox/Wii) - but I must admit Sony's stategy in the short term had been damaging to them, only time will tell.

Any how, I don't really care - as long as MGS arrives on the PS3 I am happy.

CVG have been told something interesting

"A source has told CVG that , "Kitaue is constantly trying to force Kojima to drop the game's PS3 exclusivity, which Hideo refuses point blank to do.

If anything Kojima could tell Konami where to go and get a new publisher Konami don't own Kojima productions. Konami could loose out big time if they are not careful.

we... some facts:

Xbox360 - microsoft - from USA
PS3 - sony - from Japan
MGS - Konami - From Japan
Hideo Kojima - Japanese

Come on MGS! why on earth do you want to aboard? :P
