CLAIM: Metal Gear Solid 4 will come out for the Xbox 360 says Konami rep

94408-10-1.jpg

Metal Gear Solid 4 will come out for the Xbox 360 12-14 months after its PS3 debut (which is currently scheduled for Q2 of this year). That’s a bold claim from the team at XboxFamily, but they’re swearing by their sources on this one. We’ll see.

A Konami representative allegedly told the site that the game has been in production for the 360 since early 2007. For its part, Microsoft, which gave the ol’ “no comment” line, replied to XboxFamily that leaking information is a serious matter, violators will be punished to the fullest extent of the law, etc.

I wonder what Sony has to say about all this?

that was before microsoft dicovered that the unformated hd disc could be read by an ordinary lazer (u think they would have thougt of that), which means it would have to be spread over two discs which is an inconvinence but it would be worth it, if it comes out that is.

Actually it would take 6 DL DVDs to hold MGS4. Learn how to do math.

Johan (Who am I?)

Wait, wait, wait. You’re telling HIM to do the math? Okay, let’s start your PS3 fanboy ranting all over again. 6 times 9 equals? 54. A single Blu-ray can hold 50Gb. Now, second. Since the Blu-Ray is so slow, developers have to put 4 copies of the game on one disc. Don’t start calling me fag, douchebag, just go ask Infinity Ward or Rockstar or anyone. Second, the game couldn’t ‘even’ fit on a dual-layer Blu-Ray, because seems our humble master, Hideo Kojima is an audiofreak, and set the game audio type to Lossless. Lossless takes almost, something 10 times more space than a 320 kbps MP3. If you look at ALL those codex calls you can make, and all the freaking big-ass cutscenes they have, you can just THINK how much that takes. It would fit on 2 DL-dvds with ease, and even with bad-ass packing, it could even fit on one. And third, ‘Richard’ (if you are human, seemingly you haven’t taken math, nor internet usage classes [just kidding]) Sony bought Metal Gear Solid’s exclusivity deal for 6 months. MGS made 3 million dollars in 2 weeks, Halo 3 almost made that in one day. Hideo Kojima sees they don’t get enough, and if they want more money, they WILL release it as a multi-platform. And I swear to god, if they make one for the 360, their sales will be more than doubled. I don’t need to worry about it, since my friend pre-ordered it, and I can play it, and I will buy a PS3 in Christmas ‘08, but for all the other 360’s out there. :D And you STILL can’t have Gears of War 2. But, *sniff* we don’t have God of War and Kingdom Hearts. :( Anyway, there is always possibility, and show me, where does he say the 360 “can’t handle” MGS 4. Tone the graphics a little bit down, who cares. Atleast we, Microsofnions (MS minions a.k.a 360 fanboys) play games for their gameplay, not graphics) Oh, and Killzone 2 is a pointless hype-bomb like Haze was. Killzone 1 was so average and boring, this ain’t going to be different. And again, you PS3 owners get so hyped about graphics. Dang.

First off, maybe you should think logically. 6*9 may equal 54, but I have never heard of anyone shipping out a DVD broken into 3rds, noob.

Secondly, Blu-Ray is faster than DL-DVD, so get your facts straight. I wrote an article about it over here ( http://www.r3portfolio.com/?p=20 ). Go educate yourself.

Thirdly, it is just an outright lie to say that they have to put a game on a Blu-Ray 4 times. Where do you get this garbage? I feel like I am dealing with a creationist.

Fourthly, there is a lot of high quality audio on the disc, but to say that you could fit the entire game on one DL-DVD if you compressed it is a completely unfounded statement. Show me. Show me the stats that show how much space the audio specifically takes up on the MGS4 disc and then show me the amount of space you would save with the appropriate compression algorithm. Oh, you don’t have access to those exact figures? Then everything that you have said is pure speculation and you should label it as such.

Fifthly, Metal Gear is a PS3 exclusive. Sony did not just purchase exsclusivity for 6 months. Again, where did you get this garbage? Maybe YOU should learn to do a little bit of research first. Everything out there that has been released by Sony or Konami says that this is a permanent exsclusive. Period. Show me evidence to the contrary.

Sixly, are you high or just incredibly stupid? MGS4 made 3 million in 2 weeks? No, it SOLD 3 MILLION COPIES. Even if you don’t account for the collectors editions that works out (see if you can follow me) 3,000,000 * 60 = $180,000,000 . Of course Halo sold more, XBox had a much larger install base at that time (it is loosing its lead currently).

Seventhly, watch these ( http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/714/714044/vids_1.html ) Hideo Kojima interviews. In them he says specifically that he had to push the PS3 to the limit in order to get what he envisioned out of the game. PS3 is more powerful than the XBox360 (GPU, CPU) so it is safe to say that he would have to compromise his vision to get it on the XBox, and that is not something he is known to do.

Lastly, to say that 360 players play games for gameplay and PS3 players play for graphics is one of the most idiotic characterizations that I have ever read. I am a PS3 owner and I play for gameplay, so therefore your entire premise is proved false immediately. So you have played Killzone 2? You know all about it ehh? I doubt it. Haze was a hype bomb, but so was Gears of War (terrible controls and gameflow) but that doesn’t have anything to do with all the other titles on a console.

It seems like you have spouted off another typical 360 fanboy post full of unsubstansiated claims and outright lies. I am glad I could correct all your errors and set you straight.

phffm. What do you say for Killzone 2? Did you really like Killzone 1 and it’s gameplay? Why is it so anticipated? Because Sony showed a video, and that game had super graphics. So, there you have it. And you have any facts, that the Blu-Ray isn’t slow? Your article is just counting numbers, like with the comment you wrote to this article. And why does the PS3 have an install when you play every game for the first time? For it to have no texture pop-in. And why does it have texture pop-in without installation? Because it’s slow. And maybe you could point out what big huge grammar and punctuation mistakes I made? And what is so bad about Gears of War. Maybe you would tell us, what controls were so bad? The aiming “down the sights” (down the shoulder here) is with LT (L2 on the PS3) and shooting is with RT (R2 on the PS3) and the majority (if not all) shooters have those controls. Second, you don’t literally jump in the game, so why not put running under A? Auggh, I don’t care, it’s basically all opinion, you’re just a lonely Sony fanboy in his home typing articles and comments on how the 360 has DVD which sucks and whatever. And second, Richard-I-know-English-language-better-than-anyone, I didn’t say anything about your ‘grammar’ skills. I talked about internet usage, using the search engines etc. dumbass. And I don’t care, I have to buy a PS3, because my favorite games I played on my PS2 and my favorite games today are God of War, MGS and Kingdom Hearts. But, the only thing I like about the 360 is the controller. I don’t honestly even care about anything else, since I play the game, not the console. And now write me a long comment on how dumb I am, and how I don’t get my facts straight and so on. But you can reply about my question. And rant abit more, the funnier you make my evening. :D

You are an idiot.

“And you have any facts, that the Blu-Ray isn’t slow? Your article is just counting numbers, like with the comment you wrote to this article.”

Yeah, it just has the numbers that prove that Blu-Ray is fast than DL-DVD. LOL. What kind of a stupid fucking comment was that? Did you actually read the article or did you see the numbers and go, “OMG, it hurts the brain!”?

“And why does the PS3 have an install when you play every game for the first time?”

First of all, assclown, not all PS3 games do an install first. It is preferable to do an install instead of reading data off the disc because it is ALWAYS faster reading from a hard drive compared to an optical drive.

I don’t need to write a rambling article and point out all your fucking mistakes. All anyone has to do is read your poorly punctuated, misspelled, long block of text to see that the public schools have failed yet another generation of Americans.

Since I have refutiated, no, destroyed every single one of your points I have one more suggestion for you. Go fuck yourself you illiterate douchebag.

Johan (Who am I?)

Wow, you were quick to answer. You must be a sad, sad man. Anyway, like I said I will buy a PS3, and I don’t care, I play the games, not the console. And as I’ve inconclusively seen another cursing idiot PS3 fanboy, my day has been made more full of laughter. Anyway, if MGS 4 comes to the 360, then looking at your comments, you would pretty much just die. :D Go piss someone else off, rather than yourself. But thanks anyway dude. :) And still, no pointing out to my grammar mistakes. Too bad it automatically sends me e-mails. *15 minutes later* Quote from Richard: “Your unperspicuous annotation makes me wonder, how can I coexist with such a indicative example of a douchebag.” Right? :D Seriously dude, buy pants, and go out. :D

Richard (Who am I?)

Its called e-mail notification, that is why I am able to respond to your idiocy at near record speeds, from work even!

Let me summarize your post, “Well, You disproved everything I said so I am just going to make some more grammer mistakes and mutter something about you being a PS3 fanboy who has no life even though I have no idea who you are or anything about you. I am all out of constructive arguments so I will pretend I am laughing even though I am crying on the inside because I know how stupid I look.”

Sounds about right to me…

 
no image
Johan (Who am I?)

Yeah, just like you don’t know me, if I am laughing or not. And you even spelled grammar wrong, douche. I don’t care. Rant, for the heck of it. Make everyone hate me. And then, while you get back from your 30 hour session from Boogie Bunnies, come and curse me abit more. I’m a dumbass? I like it, do it again. :D And still no pointing out of grammar mistakes.

 
no image
Richard (Who am I?)

Jesus, I told you I don’t want to point out obvious grammar mistakes. If you insist, here are 5:

“Second, the game couldn’t ‘even’ fit on a dual-layer Blu-Ray, because seems our humble master, Hideo Kojima is an audiofreak, and set the game audio type to Lossless.”

“Lossless takes almost, something 10 times more space than a 320 kbps MP3.”

“It would fit on 2 DL-dvds with ease, and even with bad-ass packing, it could even fit on one.”

“And I swear to god, if they make one for the 360, their sales will be more than doubled. I don’t need to worry about it, since my friend pre-ordered it, and I can play it, and I will buy a PS3 in Christmas ‘08, but for all the other 360’s out there.”

“Atleast we, Microsofnions (MS minions a.k.a 360 fanboys) play games for their gameplay, not graphics)”

You can pick the rest out yourself if your interested. You have quite the unhealthy comma infatuation.

Oh, and I am not sure what “Boogie Bunnies” is. A XBox360 game?

The 360 cannot handle the texture morphing on Snake’s octocamo, which is a primary focus of the game.

Richard (Who am I?)

Konami has quashed this rumor many many times, including statements made directly by Kojima himself.

MGS4 will NOT, I repeat, will NOT be coming out for XBox 360.

End of story. PERIOD.

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

SNAKEPWNZ (Who am I?)

for the love of GOD, konami!@!
I understand the release for the ps3 first, since it has been a sony franchise but oh PLEASE release it later on.
Game looks amazing and ratings seem to stick with that format.

I only hope Hideo Kojima has a heart for die hard fans in the 360 genre, as whos going to buy a ps3 for 1 game. other that mgs4 ps3 is a shithole….. with nice graphics.

metal gear solid 4 will be comin out for xbox 360 because that hideo bloke said that the game cost so much to make they need to bring it out on xbox to make a good profit but it wont be out until december time 2009.

 
no image
Richard (Who am I?)

Peter Pan, you are totally and utterly incorrect. Actually Hideo Kojima never said that, or anything close to that.

MGS4 will NEVER, let me repeat this, NEVER come out for ANY platform other than PS3.

Additionally even if they were going to port it, they couldn’t do it to XBox because it simply doesn’t have the power to run the game.

peter pan (Who am I?)

slow down richard you clown
hideo did say that i saw a press confrence on youtube and the words metal gear solid will be out for xbox came straight out of his mouth. so dont tell me im wrong you plank

METAL GEAR SOLID WILL COME OUT FOR XBOX, LET ME REPEAT THIS, WILL COME OUT FOR XBOX.

YOU TWONK!!!!

jody91 (Who am I?)

i agree with peter pan, and where is this fact that u stated that the 360 hasnt got the power to run the game, the ps3 and the 360 have basiclly the same processor as they where designed by the same architect they where just bought from the different companies. and the 50gh game can be put n to 2 unformatted hddvd, since they are unformatted they can be read with a normall lazer but hold 30gb each. oh and before i forget i believe microsoft are at the moment using sale figures to sway them into brining it out forthe 360 (fact), this was mentioned at a games meeting held in the microsoft building to the american press.

Richard (Who am I?)

Wow, people here really don’t know what they are talking about.

First, Peter Pan, you don’t have to lie to get people to like you man. There is no such press conference. It has never happened and will never happen. Period. Either you are lying or you are just stupid.

Secondly, Jody, you are as FAR off as you could be. They are NOT EVEN CLOSE to the same CPU. The Cell Proc (PS3) is an 8 core CPU developed by IBM specially for the PS3. The CPU in the XBox is a modded 3 core Xenon processor by Intel. Get your facts straight. Secondly XBox doesn’t use HD-DVD, it uses DVD (Dual Layer usually). The HD-DVD addon for XBOX was for movies, and either way it is an add on AND HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. They are not bringing it out for 360. Period. Drop it.

By the way, HD-DVD CANNOT be read by a regular laser. Get your facts straight, what a joke.

peter pan (Who am I?)

im not lying richard but i dont care if you dont believe me.

and i would just like to say that you are a dick head richard and i think jody would agree.

and if what you said on your last post is all true i think you know to much about all of this stuff and i think you need to go outside and find some friends instead of pleasuring yourself over a playstation.

thats all i wanted to say.

bye bye

Richard (Who am I?)

Well, if you are not lying then you just don’t know what you are talking about, there that settles it!

I would rather be a dick head than an idiot.

Just because I know *exponentially* more than you (obviously) on this subject doesn’t mean I masturbate over my Playstation. In fact it means I masturbate with your mom’s tears.

By the way its “too” not “to”. Idiot.

Wow, your powers of deduction are only rivaled by your capitalization and grammer abilities.

It’s pretty funny when you say “I’ve (I fixed that one for you) had enough of this now.”, you say it as if you can do *anything* about it other than continue to be an idiot.

I know the life of a little prepubescent boy sucks, especially when you compare it to my life (early 20’s, married, great job), but just drop it dude. You were wrong and I pointed out how stupid you looked by continuing on with it.

Thats it. Over. You = EPIC FAIL.

krazy_atx (Who am I?)

Well……..let me just say that only reason i’m gettin a ps3 is for this game and god of war……oh yeah blue-ray of course. Well who cares if it comes out or not. Xbox 360 has bioshock, gears of war, halo, mass effect, ninja gaiden 2(for now) and as online goes..pretty good. Don’t get me wrong ps3……..well it has msg4 and final fantasy is gonna come out soon…..I guess RFoM also. But either way as long as u have a job and u can come up with money to spend yeah why not right? its just funny reading all this xbox vs playstation peeps when at the end they had them both or gonna end up having both. Oh one more thing…I wouldn’t be surprice if the game comes out on xbox 360…its all about the benjamins right?

(note: don’t give a fuck about spelling so save it ; ) )

To Krazy ATX:

Your spelling and grammer is atrocious, I personally blame the schools. Personally I hated Bioshock (on PC), Gears of War was a joke (controls sucked, environment interaction sucked), never played Mass Effect, and I hate Halo (talk about an overrated series) with a passion.

Its not *all* about the money, but even if it was there is no reason to go to XBox. The money and time it would take to reverse engineer the game, lower the graphic and physics quality to the point where it could run on XBox would take too much time and money. Not to mention they would have to eat the costs of shipping out 6 DL-DVDs to hold the game.

To LOD mega785

Actually you are dead wrong. There is no plans for an XBox 360 Blu-Ray. Period. End of story.

Maybe you should know what you are talking about before you make claims like that.

In fact here is an article (http://news.digitaltrends.com/news-article/16948/microsoft-denies-xbox-blu-ray-zune-phone) where Microsoft SPECIFICALLY DENIES that they are going to have a Blu-Ray drive for XBox.

Both of you = EPIC FAIL.

Glad to see you could get away from your World of Warcraft game long enough to come back and further demonstrate what an ignorant douche bag you are.

I noticed he said that at the end of his post… that is why I mentioned it! See how that works? No? Well thats Ok, I wouldn’t expect you to.

Look, I know your upset that I utterly destroyed every point you tried to make. I realize you are very angry that you have been proven wrong… I get it.

It is very revealing that you choose to use the word “cunt” over and over, as if I could actually feel insulted by words coming from someone who is so obviously my subordinate in *any* way that could be measured. I detect the Freudian overtones, perhaps you have a secret desire to fuck your mother which led to some form of vagina worship?

In any case, just leave it alone man. Don’t make yourself look more ignorant than you already do.
