@albionus

If that last comment was directed at me, I am aware that the same applies to the Wii, and am glad of that fact since I own one.....

This reminds of the situation with Headhunter for the Dreamcast and MGS 2 for the PS2.



 

I want to see it to believe it..

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular or even necessarily at this forum in general, just at 360 or PS3 fans who think all the Wii's major games have been anounced next year.   I've read many times on various forums that Nintendo's bolt is shot with only SSBB and Mario Kart coming early next year which which isn't the case at all.  Since Legend saw fit to mention it was the case for the 360 I thought I'd add that it's also the same for the Wii.



Well I'm not going to speculate on MS's ability or anything, but I'll say good luck XD Some company's are starting to get pretty fresh with PS3 hardware :P Yes it's a racing game, but GT5 with 16 cars online, running in 1080p, at a smooth 60 FPS, with HUNDREDS of cars planned for the game is going to be interesting to take. But hey! If they do, I might have a game I'd consider purchasing for my roomates 360 :P



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

i personally dont think KZ2 can run n 360 hardware, but we will see, MGS4 isnt special graphicly it looks like a normal game.

and they'd sell the 360 in South Korea lol

i'm not sure if you're kidding or not but the 360 is the most popular system in south korea. Granted people would rather play DS or PC, but for consoles 360 is king.


 I wasn't aware of this if this is the case.  But that said, is the home console market in South Korea big enough to matter yet?  I would have thought the primary reason for MS wanting a presence in SK would be the similar to the reason they keep throwing money at Japan: developer relationships.


A few weeks ago i moved to korea, and after looking around and talking to people it seems gaming is changing rapidly in Korea.  It used to  be only PCs just a few years ago, but DS is massive here.  DS is hitting every age group, hardcore and casual gamers here in Korea.  The problem is that probably 80-90% of the sales are be being taken by the R4.  Keep in mind the game boy was not popular in the past.  Most games have not been translated in Korean because they can't make money when they are all getting pirated.

I was actually shocked that the 360 was as popular as it is.  Once i thought about it though it made sense, games like Halo 3 are exactly what Korea likes to play.  I see commercials for Metroid Hunters on TV all the time.  I don't know if there is a way to steal 360 games easily like with the R4 but i wouldn't be suprised if they were doing it.  Last time i went to the movie theatre there were several huge kiosks for the 360, that's when i started to ask some people if the 360 was popular.  I was suprised to find that it's more popular than PS2, Wii, or PS3.

BTW if you go to an arcade in Korea about 60% of it is made up of shooting games like house of the dead or time crisis. 

Still, many people in Korea go to PC cafes to play consoles rather than buy the consoles themselves.  Consoles are bigger than they have ever been in Korea, but they've got a long way to go.  If Koreans want to play all their games in Korean they need to actually buy them rather than steal them all.

BTW starcraft battle chest still sells for $50+, i thought that was funny. 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

 No we wont!  KZ2 is never going to be ported to the Xbox 360 as it is owned by Sony.

I personally would hate to see KZ2 on the 360, because nothing I've seen in this game can be remotely called "original". Post apocalyptic world, enemy race hell bent on destruction, Big guys with machine guns = Generic Big Daddys', Un-responsive AI (there's a GIF floating around the net that counts down the seconds before an enemy realises that you are standing right in front of him and that you are SHOOTING him, I think it was 10 seconds?). Personally, as a 360 owner, I would not advise PS3 fanboys to put KZ2 up to be one of the PS3's killer apps next year, because at best it'll be a good game, though I'm predicting it'll flop (Like how when Lair was first announced and all these trailers popped up everyone thought it'd be this awesome game, but when they finally played it, it wasn't at all). Even if you still want to put KZ2 on a pedestal, at least wait for a demo or a hands-on before you start raving about it, because it's not a great franchise (below average PS2 game and a good/great PSP game don't make a A-Class franchise) so you can't make the same assumption you could with say MGS4, FFXIII and GT5.

Anyway, on topic now, its just a rumour, like many others over the years. I'd be glad to see MGS4 on the 360 or a similar game, but I wouldn't buy it, because I've never been a fan of MGS series and not about to start now. I would only want it there to broaden the 360's lineup.

 EDIT:
@leo-j: "Lol" on your previous comment about seeing it to believe it... That doesn't make sense from a PS3 Fanboys perspective because you're saying that KZ2, MGS4 and other PS3 Exclusives will kill the 360 (exaggeration obviously by me) yet you have not "seen" any real proof, trailers (gameplay or otherwise) are brought out to sell a game that's why they always look so good (that applies to 360, PS3 and Wii). Wait until the game is actually released and you play the REAL COPY before saying that X game is awesome. You could not possibly claim a game to be great until you've played it, so you can't "believe" KZ2 is great because you haven't "seen" the real thing.



Lol @ MS rumor mill. Truly rich. Especially amidst all the claims that MGS is not an important title and no system seller... How many times can one company bite their ass in one gen?

"HDMI!? No one needs that!" "Here you go, HDMI."

"HD format!? No one needs that!" "Here you go, HD-DVD add-on."

"MGS!? Hardly of any importance..." "Wait until you see our MGS competitor!! Ammagad!!"
