Interesting statement. Of course, this far in to to the sales of Metal Gear 4, it would kind be kind of like the Xbox release of Grand Theft Auto. A "me too" release with significantly less sales.

It would sell to 360 owners that wished they'd recieved Metal Gear, but not to too many others.

 

What are you talking about?  The 360 version of GTAIV actually outsold the PS3 version!!!

Also, see San Andreas. XB and PS2.

I think hes talking about the GTA version on the original Xbox. It came later(if i remember correctly) then the PS2 version, and while it had great sales didn't have AS great sales.

 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

"And now thanks to Japanese stock investor bulletin Morningstar, those rumors continue."

Suddenly its an official statement from konami.

 

Or if you really read it...

 

"While at TGS, Konami PR mouthpiece Yoshitaka Arai told Morningstar:"

Then this hardly holds any importance. That's basically the thing we heard first, said in a different way.

Damn you Kotaku.

 



So there are like three different interpretations of what was really said.

Wake me up when we are absolutely clear on what was stated, or in this case, when Konami has an American Rep confirm this.

I don't think the game would sell that well.... maybe 2M in the long run at best....

 

Uh that would mos def make it worth their while, even if they had to build the game from the gound up.  2m is a major seller. 

 

Konami would be foolish not to port this to the 360.  I'm surprised it's taken this long.

Meh, as someone stated in another thread Sony seems to always come out on the losing end of these rumors unfortunately. Reaction from the community always follows the same pattern too.

Devil May Cry, Star Ocean, Tekken, Final Fantasy....

It could happen. *shrug*

Im still waiting for my Afrika 360 rumor.



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

 

 

Sometimes this community is hilarious.

Completely unsubstantiated rumor from a highly dubious source: "OMG OMG OMG this is gonna be awesome there's no way this could be false!!!"

Admission from a Konami PR rep that the company is looking into porting MGS4 to the 360: "Eh, it's just a rumor."



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

haha well these rumors have been going on for years so why any different now haha.

Konami wouldn't willingly decide to put it on 360, not when they know MS has been paying of Japanese devs so they'd wait for that if at all this crossed their minds.

No guarantees what will happen so until then just assume its always going to be a PS3 exclusive. If ya want to play it get a PS3. If ya don't then forget about it haha.



This is the closest thing to a confirmation, besides a confirmation. This is the only time I've ever actually believed that MGS4 could come to the 360. Konami pretty much said, "We're looking in to it." They've said this twice now(assuming the original article was actually credible, which it appears that it now is, since Konami isn't denying it).

So yeah, you guys who think this is just another rumor need to learn a little something called reading comprehension.

Reading.
Comprehension.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

What's with the "haha" what are you, smoking crack?

Anyway, in the meantime, lets also assume that Star Ocean is a 360 exclusive, forever, and Fable 2, nor Gears of War 2 will ever make it to PC.

I choose to believe, after this statement, that in the next year, a 360 version of MGS4 will be announced, or Konami will confirm that it's not coming out.

Again, assuming this statment is equivelant to previous rumors and assumptions is ignorant. You'll agree.

 

...unless Yoshitaka Arai started a lot of false rumors I don't know about.
