Forums - Microsoft - MGS4 on 360: “It’s inevitable,” says highly-placed source

Well a MGS 4 X360/PC ports may or may not happen. The cost of spreading the game on 4 DVD discs is much cheaper that putting a game on one Blu-Ray disc. FF XIII may be on 4 DVD discs but producing the game on 4 DVD discs is much cheaper than producing the game on Blu Ray discs.
A PC port of FF XIII would be great idea. More game DVD discs is no problem at all. Play a game for 20 hours and then move onto next disc is no big drama. It is not like you are swapping discs every 5 minutes.

i hope 360 owners enjoy switching discs alot and crap graphics, i really dont care if it does, it would make me laugh

MGS4 isn't a long game, nor is there any reason for it to be 50GB in size. Besides, I think anyone would take a 10 second disc-change after every chapter over a 2-3 minute install including the 15 minute install at the start.

 

 

Thank you mr. developer for telling me this . Again please tell me  how long did you worked on MGS4 ? Dont toss around ideas that you have absolutly no idea about ...

Funny thing that there is no real proof of the saize of the game, the 50Gb thing came after a missquote...

 



By me:

Made with Blender + LuxRender
"Since you can´t understand ... there is no point to taking you seriously."

I think MGS4 has already made its impact on console sales. If 360 gets it next year, it'll still probably sell a couple million in software, but I doubt it will be a big selling point for potential first time buyers. We're getting to the point where the more casual friendly garbage, used game libraries at gamestop, and console pricetag are more important to first time buyers.



Last gen, PS2 got everything first. Seemed kinda crazy to me. The 'cube should have gotten all multi-plats first, followed by a simultaneous PS2/XBOX release. Why companies were releasing a game months later on a console with a fragment of the installed base always struck me as retarded (late game + small install base=profit?). That's why MGS2 failed to make a dent on XBOX.

A port of MGS4 wouldn't make much sense now, either. The hype has passed. The storyline's details have been leaked. A port MAY eventually happen, but now it's too little too late. How much do MGS games typically sell anyway? How much has MGS4 sold? Exactly.

 Common misconception that MGS4 is 50GB...Its not. Its about 30GB, which includes lots of different languages etc, and if the audio is uncompressed this could easily be taken down to 20GB just by removing the foreign languages and doing seperate releases for each territory (which is quite normal)...

Also, since the 360 only outputs DD5.1 uncompressed audio is completely useless, taking it down further...

IMO MGS4 could easily be done on 2 DVDs...but hey...

Take out those crap commercials, and FMV spots that had no place in MGS4, and the game should fit on a DVD with room to spare.

PS3 fans, you know those interviews and commercials suck too. Admit it!

 Its not 50GB its about 30GB

Go check the warez release sites for proof.

It was put on a DL Bluray purely as a stunt to make the 360 look bad...pretty pathetic really since it didn't even need it.

Also a 50GB Bluray disc is actually about 46GB ;)



this just sounds like an opinion, but like other people have said, u never no.
i personally dont think it will happen, and if it does, i dont think it will happen until next year.



                 


 

It isnt happening, Sony and Konami have a contract that wont allow for it to happen.
