If MGS4 was to port to X360, would you...?

I would like to see MGS4 go to X360, but one of the big problems is how much game data there is. So I wanted to see how the X360 community felt it should be done.

1.) Put it on multiple disks in all of its uncompressed glory. The game takes up almost the whole 50GB blu-ray disk, so the game would require about 6.7 DV9 X360 disks. Of course we round that up to 7 and that could get a bit expensive for both producer and consumer sides of the retail table.

2.) Compress it to put the game on fewer disks. Unfortunately compressing data causes a loss in video and sound quality. Depending on the compression technology used it could still hold its quality almost perfectly, and since Microsoft has some good compression technology it could very well hold up quality wise.

3.) Don't care how it's done, just want a X360 port.

4.) Don't do it.

Which way would you choose, and feel free to come up with any other viable methods that I have not thought of.

i dont care. i think the game is utter rubbish and the few ps3 owners i know say it is rubbish. it is imo a marketing tool to get people to buy a ps3 just for that game (a bit like halo 3 imo)

I can see how you would say that. I find it utterly addicting and can hardly put it down, but then again I'm a huge fan of it's style.

Actually I ment to say the style of the entire series.

I don't care, because the chances of it happening are very slim.69ANT69

But the question is if it is done how would you want it done, if at all? Sony and Microsoft politics aside, I just want to see if the X360 community would want more disks and therefore higher price, or slightly reduced graphics in a more managable package.

Nah, it should stay where it is if you ask me. I finished it on PS3 and it just feels like a very "Playstationy" kind of game, if that makes sense. It truly is a masterpiece though, but the 360 has plenty of other great games coming to it.

With that said, if I was in charge of a 360 port, I wouldn't compress anything and just put it on 5-6 discs.

i wouldn't be suprised to see mgs4 on 360 (after all they ported sons of liberty to the original xbox). i don't think they would compress the game to one disc, but maybe compress it enough to fit on four, like lost odessey which was four discs long but still retailed at $60 in America,

Any which way, MGS4 + 360=EminentPants Wetting

I would, I've been playing the MGS series since it came out for the PS1. I've heard small rumours that it would, but I'm not believe until I'm seeing.

Now granted it would be a smart move on Square Enix for money sake, they know how large a 360 fanbase can be; and I know a few fellow gamers who would be excited to see that happen.

Well, the audio was not at all compressed in MGS4, so that why it took so much space. Compress the auido and the problem is solved mostly.

I don't care if theres some cuts involved, so long as the game is largely the same, I'd buy it.

I really want MGS4.

don't you mean konami?AnotherMulligan

Multiple discs is obvious but i dont see it going over 4 discs and its been done before so its not impossible but it depends on how much is actually MGS4.

It may take up a whole blu ray on the ps3 but how much of that is pure BS stuff like voices in diff languages or uncompressed data. Also MGS dosent use any cutscenes so that saves a ton of space. What your looking at that makes the bulk of MGS4's size is the sound. Im sure if compressed it could fit on 1 or 2 discs.

good point.

plus, blue ray obviously doesn't add much in the realm of graphics to a game. falout 3 on ps3 looks terrible compared to 360.

Why won't people just stop with the MGS4 to 360 threads already?!snakehips57

Sorry, but how the consumer wanted it done wasn't a post I could find. Besides, If I tried posting something like this in the PS3 section I doubt the PS fanboys would give me any usefull information.

True. unfortunatly with the X360 and PC games it's easier to port and have the game handle much the same within the limitations of a GPU/CPU setup, but with the PS3 a port requires special tailoring, which most companies just don't have the time or money.

I wouldnt realy care, so long as it was on xbox, MGS rocks!

i really couldn't care less if mgs4 came to 360, i doubt i'd buy itOfficialBed

i would love for MGS4 to come to 360...but it wont happen.
