I think Kojima is going to crack finally and go multi-platform. Remember that Konami said that MGS4 is exclusive, but they will think about multiplatform in the future. Sigh, he's going to do it for the money, so disappointed. Thought he was going to do it for the game and not dumb quality down (FFXIII).

 

We're probably going to have to wait as they finish the 360 version, have the J-audio cut from the game, and more content will be cut.

 

 If there is going to be an Xbox version of any MGS game, I doubt Kojima would let any of the content be cut from the game.  He just seems stubborn like that.  More than likely you would see a game than spans 3 or 4 discs.

Would a PS3 owner (not fanboy, because they will probably ignore this anyway) clarify this for me, but I thought that MGS4 had a 5 minute install before every chapter of the game.  Is this true?  If so, having to change out disc would actually be . . . faster.

Just a thought . . .

 

The installs were like two to three minutes in between levels.  I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing the installs were to load level textures to minimize loading during the chapters.  If that was the case than running it from the disc would be initially faster, but you would have more loading screens during the chapters.  But this could be avoided by installing them to 360 hard drive in advance.  I'm not quite sure why they didn't do one large install at the beginning of the game instead of all the small ones.
