Rumor: Metal Gear Solid 4 confirmed to be released on the Xbox 360? |

After numerous rumors whether or not the long-standing PlayStation-exclusive title Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is going multi-platform, here's another log to throw into the proverbial fire. Freeze, a writer for XboxFamily, mentioned getting actual confirmation from a Konami distribution representative that MGS4 will be coming to the Xbox 360.While the rep's name was undisclosed, it was supposedly confirmed that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 is currently in development for the Xbox 360. The rep also stated that the game will be released for the Xbox 360 between 12 to 14 months after the PS3 version hits shelves.
After trying to confirm this with Microsoft's John Porcaro, Freeze was merely rebuffed with the standard "no comment" reply from Microsoft's PR team member. While this may spell big things for the normally console-exclusive title if this is true, we'll just have to wait and see if anything new turns up to confirm these rumors.

"metal Gear Solid, twilight hourglass" Sounds nice. Hell anything number of loop holes could get mgs4 on to the 360, to be honest. :)

It's already been repeated time and time again by Kojima that the game would only be released on the PS3. He never once hesitated, and he has a solid stance on the issue. This is a direct quote from him:
"The PS3 is like the theatre, it's a little bit high-priced but it has to be high quality as well. The 360 is a DVD, it still needs to be high quality but you need more variations, while the Wii is almost like a TV channel, because every game you have it with your family," Kojima was quoted as saying.
"MGS4 is aimed for the movie theatre, it's aimed for the PS3, so the game's scenario and graphics need this theatre-type hardware. It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform", adding that the rumor continues "because [Xbox] 360 owners want it on 360, obviously.

Rumour: this great do not miss event will occur on the 1st of April 2008.
Conjecture: I would love to see some kind of cross platform live situation where gamers take their heroes online to do battle. Master Chief goes all guns blazing to whack Snake whilst Snake is quietly sneaking up for a silent kill of the Chief.
Fun: Personally I love reading the rumours as I find it amusing how hot under the collar so many xbots and fanboys can get.
Happy new year to all regardless of your choice of hero and may 2008 be a great year for all gamers.

Yeah I know Konami use to be honor but you know companies change over time like Capcom and they go multiplatform and screw console owners over big time.
Kojima can and will deny it all he wants but I don't think you guys get the picture about this, is that even if he says that its not being ported to the 360, Konami could have gotten a development team together to start work on a MGS4 game behind Kojimas back for the Xbox 360, in case it doesnt sell well on the PS3, companies have done it before and they will keep on doing it.
Lets all be realistic here, even the creators don't even know whats going on behind the scenes alot of times.
Sony is a great company but you guys need to learn about the basic evolvement of how companies become multiplatform based.
Kojima is a Sony fan, we all know that but not all of Konami can see through his ways.

Referring to your earlier posts, denials from Konami or Kojima doesn't mean anything btw, since they are to be expected regardless of whether the rumours are true or false.

all you retards thinking that the 360 is actually capable of handling mgs4's graphics, suck it. It's not happening. Enjoy paying $500 more to get an ultimate

Nothing in that article stated that Xbox 360 can't handle MGS4 graphics, infact Xbox 360 can easily handle those graphics. The article was only stating that the producer made a statement saying that they aren't making the game on Xbox 360 CURRENTLY. When he said that, he didn't say the reason was because Xbox 360 can't handle the games's graphics...
Graphics aren't the problem, it's the company that is making it. Even if the only problem was just the graphics, they could always just lower the graphical quantity so it would be able to work on the ported system.
This doesn't mean it wont be ported to Xbox 360 in the future.

Regardless of the facts, we can only wait and see. We went through the same thing with the PS2 and XBox for MGS2, with rumours of an XBox version being shot down as quickly as they arrived. And then what happened? Yep, it came to the XBox in the form of MGS2:Substance, despite all the denials! Not saying the same will be repeated for MGS4, but it IS possible. :)
Let's wait and see.
