now that mgs rising is coming to 360, why isnt 4 coming to over?

is there a exclusve deal w/ sony on this? is it a timed exclusive? is it an exclusive forever?

to what ive read, konami is 3rd party and does not owned by sony. now taht mgs4 sales have quieted off, perhaps they hsould think about porting over mgs4 over. i thought mgs is loyal to sony, but rising is coming, so perhaps why not 4.

please fill me in on the details. thank you :)

Don't know what to tell you. Something about sound and video compression being an issue. Loyalty. Worries about an upset fanbase. Possibility in low sales. Issues with Microsoft. Who knows?

Has everyone forgotten Metal Gear Rising? You can make MGS4 because we dont have the entire series. It would be pointless. It would possible because contrary to popular belief PS3 games arent all 50 gigs, but it would be stupid.

People who haven't played it have no clue how much Playstation, blu-ray and Apple references it has. It'll never come with all of that. Plus it would be on a load of discs.

Because it's pretty much impossible to make it on 360. The real question is, why isn't Mass Effect on PS3 yet?

It won't. Sound and video compression issues, and excessive advertising of Microsoft competetors.

360 can't handle it. The game is out of the scope of capabilities of the 360, on the other hand, Konami has been really lazy. They've been promising trophies for MGSIV for a while, but that's not gonna happen either. In conclusion, Konami is lazy.

I played, there were a few references but not that many and they could easily compress the game to fit 1 or 2 DVD9.

MGS4 was built for the 360. It would be too much trouble converting it.I guess that's why they put just put Rising on the 360 (Well it's comming to the Ps3 too. You know what I mean).

Its not about being lazy Kojima productions are busy with many games MGS rising, MGS PW, ZOE3 (as what Kojima said) and they are supervising Castlevania Lords of shadow.

1 or 2 discs? lol. And Kojima wouldn't want all that PS stuff changed cause it's there for nostalgia, like the Psycho mantis part with the PS1.

Metal Gear Rising is a spinoff from the MGS series, not an actual continuation of the story like MGS4 was. And no, MGS4 will never be coming to the Xbox 360.

actually they all are, all games are, ps3 games they just don't compress stuff at ALL since they don't have to. that's why audio sounds a little better on ps3 multiplats. however they don't HAVE to be nearly that large. they could be slimmed down to 15 or so with only a very marginal decrease in awesomeness.

I'm pretty sure Kojima doesn't want it on the 360. Kojima isn't directing Metal Gear Solid: Rising, so that may have something to do with why it's getting a 360/PC release. Kojima has a lot of pull at Konami, and if he's working on a game and doesn't want it on the 360, I'd say odds are good it won't get released on the 360. Maybe Kojima just hates the 360 or Microsoft.

Wrong. They all have to do some compression, or else you'd have 200MB textures for a gun in an FPS, and the PS3 only has 512MB RAM, goodluck trying to fill up a screen with uncompressed textures.

MGS4 was built for the 360..

boredy-Mcbored
please provide proof. as it stands right now, it was built for the ps3. also mgs rising is a off beat series not dealing with snake. so its basically a new series, which could be good or bad

Because not many people want it on 360, just like they didn't want MGS2. MGS4 was mediocre and overrated. The story was absurd and too drawn out, even by MGS standards, which says enough. And the transitions between different stealth positions weren't very seamless and fluid, but very stilted.

People who haven't played it have no clue how much Playstation, blu-ray and Apple references it has. It'll never come with all of that. Plus it would be on a load of discs.Parasomniac

Exactly, when people say the game is too big, it really is. Aside from taking almost the entire BD disc, there are the aformentioned references, Rising actually uses an entirely different engine than MGS4. Also, I wouldn't trust a magazine that has been defunct for over a year, and I know EGM would often tell about rumors in a section dedicated to them, no concrete fact there.

MGS4 will never be on 360, though I'm sure Rising will be good.

Metal Gear Solid 4 could be ported to the Xbox 360, but it wouldn't be worth it as you would have to re-code everything to run on the Xbox 360's CPU which is far different from the Cell the Playstation 3 uses.

please fill me in on the details. thank you :)

Rising is going to take less space than mgs4. MGS4 took up close to 50 gigs. That would be 5 360 dics. And rising sounds like it is more about action than story.

Pretty much anyone who has wanted to play it has already played it. A port now would be a waste of time...

That would be cool, but of course less likely to happen than it coming to the 360 first.

i am fine w/ even a weatered down verson of mgs4 perhaps like 25% reduction in graphics or whatever, like how tony hawk's pro sktare 3 on ps1 is a watered down version of its ps1 cousin

im fine w/ watered down mgs4... a lot of people would be nowing that mgs4 is one of 3 ps3 games they must have
