So it was true when they said MGS4 couldn't be done on the 360?

Well if the graphics for MGS: Rising are as good as MGS4 then no it was a lie...until we play it ourselves we won't know

We'll have to see for all we know them saying MGSR will be graphically better than MGS4 could be PR 

I think the fact that MGS: Rising is having a new engine built from scratch for it suggests that in fact, no, MGS4 wouldn't work on the 360.

There's no reason to build a whole new engine when you could just evolve the current one - most likely the MGS4 engine just doesn't work (very well?) for the 360, hence the need for a new engine for this multiplatform game.

The fact that MGS: Rising will have better graphics is basically meaningless, as we already know that the 360 is capable of better graphics (see: Gears 2).

The MGS4 engine is just very heavily optimised for the PS3 (just as Kojima always said) even if it's not the best engine around.
