Its nice to see that so many 360 fanboys want MGS4.

 

It sure is !!

While I decided no to wait for the PS3 and switch to the 360, this was a grief (thinking I wouldn't be able to play MGS4).

Porting it on the 360 is financially justified, according to VGC, it sold only 3,30 Mil copies on the PS3. That isn't a great score for the plateform blockbuster. Halo 3 sold 8,3 mil on the 360.

This is a recurrent rumors, so it must be justified somewhere (financial interest ? Konami not happy with the score ? PS3 keeping lossing its exclusivities ? Pressure of the market ?)

Whatever fanboys say, videogaming is business, not religion .



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

konami always does this... its nothing new... the bigger news would be if they decided to let the next mgs be multiplatform from the start...

 #1 reason MGS4 is PS3 exclusive  xbox is too loud for snake to sneak around

and u can't compare halo sales to mgs sales... you're just doing that to try to make it seem that you're right...

"Whatever fanboys say, videogaming is business, not religion"

That is why it aggravates me when Wii fans say their system's sales is justified by its game library when the vast majority of its games have sub 8.5 review scores and the 360 fans say their system has so many great games when the number of great games on their system is vastly lower than the number that were on the PS2 after it had been on the market a comparable amount of time and when they try to say that games like Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, The Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden II, and Tales of Vesperia are great when they only have Metacritic scores of 66, 69, 78, 81, and 81 respectively. These aren't 8.5 and above games folks.



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

MGS 4 on the Xbox 360 would be great news, more gamers deserve to play a good game, and there is nothing bad about it, i know Sony fans would like MGS 4 to stay exclusive, but sony this gen is in 3rd place and developers know that this will damage their profit that's why DMC, MGS, FF , Tekken all went multiplat , times have changed.



Well, one thing that is causing times to change is these developers making these games multiplat. If they were only on PS3 then if people wanted to play them they would have to buy a PS3. However, FFXIII and MGS 4 will always be better on the PS3 due to blu-ray, etc, so it is just a matter of in the long run if people want to buy the best version of the game or if they would rather settle for the knock off because they are too cheap to buy a PS3. But Sony does have enough high quality internal developers as I pointed out before: Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Team ICO, Polyphony Digital, etc, to guarantee that they will be in second place come Holidays 2009. And I do expect to see Kojima's next game announced to be a PS3 exclusive (at least for a year and even if only in Japan it still makes a difference) by that time.

most of ps3 owners will be happy to share this good game with others. we are not that greedy.

That's not what I seem to be seeing from this thread.  PS3 owners and fans seem to be saying the game is impossible on 360 and it is clear that if it does eventually come out on 360 they throw a massive fit.

I'm not saying it is impossible for the 360 to have these games. I am saying it is impossible for these games to have blu-ray quality sound and visuals when the 360 doesn't have blu-ray for gaming thus the PS3 versions will be better.

Interesting statement. Of course, this far in to to the sales of Metal Gear 4, it would kind be kind of like the Xbox release of Grand Theft Auto. A "me too" release with significantly less sales.

It would sell to 360 owners that wished they'd recieved Metal Gear, but not to too many others.

so basically just like Bioshock, Lost Planet or oblivion for PS3?

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
