Too many PS3 fans in this thread. I think the mods should just close every MGS4 thread regarding the 360 until one of them actually says Konami officially announces or officially shuts down the idea of a 360 port.
Here's a few paraphrases:
"Waaaaa waaaaa waaaaaa... but... but..t... Kojima said he didn't want it on 360!"
First of all, Konami published the game, so following Kojima's word is just out of respect. But Konami has proven previously that respect means zero against a solid (excuse the pun) business decision. Case in point, Metal Gear Solid games appearing on Xbox and Gamecube.
"Kojima himself said that it isn't possible on the 360"
Does anyone actually know what aspect of the game, or rather what component of the PS3's that makes this impossible? The only real difference between the two consoles is blu-ray, which is easily solved by multiple discs.
Unless anyone can prove otherwise that it is CELL or any other component of the PS3 that makes it impossible on the 360, please, STFU.
"An Action game with multiple dvd's is a joke" <--- From someone in this thread
So, please tell me how the 2 minute installs are different from disc swapping? aside from obviously getting up changing discs.
You say MGS4 is action packed (and yes one act in particular is very intense), but how does the install before/afterwards differ from a disc change in that aspect? You have to push a button to start a new act after the install, so you can basically take a breather, or have a smoke, or whatever. Changing discs also affords you the same break time because the action restarts when you put the disc in.
Benefit of the disc change is that YOU decide when the action restarts, as opposed to the action restarting after at least 2 minutes.
Also, by the 3rd time, I was sick to death of watching Snake Smoke.
"It'll require multiple discs, ROFL 360 FAIL AND DIE!"
Seeing as how the people this issue would effect (360 owners) don't give a crap, how does saying this hurt them?
END: Clearly the only people tasting sour grapes over this are the PS3 fanboys who don't want to see an exclusive go multiplatform, clearly showing that sales are more important than gaming. This is a game sales site I know, but we should all be gamers first, and gamers want a good game to get as much spotlight as possible.
