Well there is no question that it could be done on 360 hardware. I guess we will see if the 360 sells really well, then they might decide to create a 360 version. I'm not really interested in this game personally, but I know many of you are fans.
Well, a whole wealth of MGS titles have appeared on other platforms. The original MGS was ported to PC and remade on the Gamecube, the second game was ported to XBox and PC, the MG games were on various platforms and there have been Gameboy Games and modern Nintendo collaborations. Konami IS entirely independent, but MGS4 is clearly an important property to Sony: It was just about one of the most talked about things at E3 and one of a small list of postive things to say about the PS3. Nevertheless, it really wouldn't surprise me so much to see MGS4 on PC and 360. Even if the PS3 sells well despite all the negativity surrounding its price, any new console within its first year of life is really not going to be so well off that a developer won't seriously consider farming the game out to owners of other machines further down the line. Sony would have to compensate Kojima quite heavily to stop him wanting to earn even more money by releasing it elsewhere.Iced_Eagle said:
Yes and No. Releasing a multiplatform game at the beginning of a Console generation is a different matter from releasing at the end of one, and the two generations have their differences. Last time, Konami were choosing to release on the more established console first, and then on the less well established console later. This time, the roles are reversed. It may just make financial sense to test the water to see if 360 and PC fans are more responsive this time around. When new consoles arrive, you can't just make the assumption that all those who got X Manufacturer's console last time will do so this time, especially when vastly differing price plans and release orders come into the mix.smwScott said:
Well, they can still port a game regardless of a few special effects. A certain effect doesn't make the game. For example, the Splinter Cell game for Xbox was far better than the PS2 version. It had much more realistic shadows that the PS2 couldn't do... for one. But the game was essentially the same game, regardless of special effects and such.weskerQ8 said:

It was not meant as an ownage comment, and though it feels nice for a change that someone is not insulting me, I absolutely hate the kind of behavior that leads people to simply argue for the sake of degaredig someone else and boosting their ego, it degared a forum as well as honest discussion. My comment also did nothing to really counter Virus type's comments, it was meerly an supperficial correction that otherwise has no bearing at all. But as "Gray Fox"I tend to be kind of anal when it comes to Metal Gear. ;(Gargantou said:Owned.:thumbs:
My thoughts exactly. The only reason why I need PS3 is to play MGS4, nothing more.Fliko said:
What is that? Sega Master System? My friend had one of those. He had the orginal Phantasy Star... man that system was actually more powerful than the NES. Phantasy Star was impressive.Gray Fox said:

I haven't heard of it, what is DDR?

Yea I did several searches actually. I assumed it was a console, and so I searched the master system for metal gear - that was where I went wrong.kupoartist said:
I started learning programing on it when I was 8 or 9, with a few pointers to get me started by my brother. I was instantly in love with programing. Then I got my other brothers Sinclair and taught myself to program on that. This one was more powerful, and had color and sound. I actually made some games on it using the built-in Basic language. But even wikipedia doesn't have a reference to this machine it was so unsuccesful.
