Why is there so many MGS4 or MGS5 360 rumors?

Splinter Cell: Conviction is enough for the 360 stealth fans. MGS is a nice franchise but is built with the Playstation architecture in mind.

Welcome to the internet

On another note, would it really matter if MGS4 on the 360 consisted of 6 discs? The PS3 version has frequent mandatory installations which take several minutes each. It would be much quicker to switch DVDs than waiting for those multiple installations. Frankly I think PS3 owners only embarrass themselves by bringing up this issue.

As for whether this happens or not, I don't know. It depends on a lot of stuff we don't know. It's obviously possible, given that past MGS games have been on several consoles, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes.

Yeah, those installs are stupid, but personally, I am lazy enough to prefer staying seated rather than getting up.... but it is certainly not a big reason against the game coming to 360. What I don't get is how it is so big, it is not exactly the longest game ever

The answer is probably "because they can". On console games, there's no incentive to optimize much for space, as long as you don't need more data than you can put on the disc of course.

In this particular case they seem to have taken the liberty of having huge uncompressed audio files.

Metal Gear Solid would be a welcome addition to the 360. But it is a massively overated franchise. Mass Effects storytelling is a big lesson that Kojima could learn from.


Mass Effect's story < MGS they're not even in the same league.


I agree TOTALLY.

MGS story is like a college SA paper; all over the place, unnecessary plot details and overscripted. Mass Effects is so far ahead in storytelling it's embarrassing. MGS has cool choreography but thats it. Bioware showed everyone how a game story should play out. Genius.

hahahah...I'm way aware of that. I own a PS3 and I didn't buy the PS3 in mind of MGS4 but to own that console in general. But if 360 users truly want a PS3, I meant MGS then just purchase a PS3.

I truly think Kojima likes the MGS franchise on the PS platform, the main reason MGS: Twin Snakes was released on the Gamecube was because it was a thing between Kojima and Miyamoto.
