According to my buddy who knows some guy, MGS4 will be announced for the 360 as Kojima accepts his lifetime achievement award tonight. The ceremony starts at 6:30 pacific.
And no, I'm actually being serious here, I know I've made some.... more essentric topics in the past but I'm not joking here.
Really, this isn't a joke. Mark your watches, 6:30 tonight (the conference so by 7:30 at most)

Oh Shizzlepop, I was right, MGS4 360 Bound

"According to my buddy who knows some guy .........
Im kinda hoping this isn't true, im all for all plats getting all games, but it will be a sad day if microsofts announcement is -hey we r teh monehbags and r buying teh companies!!! AGAIN!!
"Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though. If it is, then someone lied to us about this game almost filling up a Blu Ray."For the record bog, since either way there is an awards conference tonight, even if you think I don't have sufficient evidcence at least this could stay up for a few hours, even if it's just a thread about the award ceremony and GDC in general.
I swear I saw some more non text based evidence as well. And then there's the (supposedly) MGS4 logo during Iwata's speech (that is the same room I believe-not so sure though, just judging off of what they seemed to have suggested)
"Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though. If it is, then someone lied to us about this game almost filling up a Blu Ray."actually on last checked MGs4 only came in at like 33gigs and with 7.1 uncompressed pcm tracks...ect
"Im kinda hoping this isn't true, im all for all plats getting all games, but it will be a sad day if microsofts announcement is -hey we r teh monehbags and r buying teh companies!!! AGAIN!!"They wouldn't be buying any companies... just giving 360 owners a chance to play a great game without spending fivehundrednintynineUSdollars
"BoG said:Bluray is freaking huge. 50 GBs. As bluray players improve, they said it should be able to hold 200 GBs (think DVD5s vs. DVD9s or the not as prevalent DVD10s)"Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though. If it is, then someone lied to us about this game almost filling up a Blu Ray."That or the game comes on 6 discs. or Blu Ray isn't nearly as big as people have told us. (that option wouldn't suprise me)"
As for MGS4, if it does come to the 360, I'm going to say it will indeed be a multi disk game, 2 disks if anything. In reality one for each act is just as fine (as it'd be equivelant to installs)
"BoG said:"Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though. If it is, then someone lied to us about this game almost filling up a Blu Ray."or Blu Ray isn't nearly as big as people have told us. (that option wouldn't suprise me)"
I'd believe that.
"OmegaPirate said:I lovewhen games go multiplatform, more gamers get to play a game = win for everyone."Im kinda hoping this isn't true, im all for all plats getting all games, but it will be a sad day if microsofts announcement is -hey we r teh monehbags and r buying teh companies!!!

I do not like how Tecmo/ Team Ninja does things though. If you want to give the additional content to the people who originally supported the game as well, that's fine (even for a fee), but putting out another better version later is BS.
means I'll have to rebuy NG2 when it becomes damn cheap.
Honestly now, why can't they release dlc so I just have to pay $10 tops to get this content? Reminds me of the Soul Caliber versions, but worse even.
At least Ps3 owners get to play the game as well though, that's some good news
"BoG said:Or they've came up with some magic new compression technology."Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though.

(that option wouldn't suprise me)"
"AgentJ said:actually from what i hear most ps3 games dont use nearly the level of compression that 360 games do or atleast thats what im lead to believe. since the mgs 4 game comes in at only 32-33 gigs and that is compressed."BoG said:Or they've came up with some magic new compression technology.""Keighley didn't confirm anything.

people don't rule out that it may very well come on 2 HD DVDs.
if it comes out at all
i personally don't think it'll be a straigh port, there is always a beefed up version and that one will likely be multi platform, but we won't see it this soon after MGS4. it's not even been a year yet.
You mean like MGS4: SuperSubsistence?
I guess, pretty likely I guess. Probably be MGS4, perhaps some extra constumes/ small resolved issues as well as all the dlc packs.
Hopefully this comes as a dlc download for ps3 owners
"people don't rule out that it may very well come on 2 HD DVDs.if it comes out at alli personally don't think it'll be a straigh port, there is always a beefed up version and that one will likely be multi platform, but we won't see it this soon after MGS4. it's not even been a year yet."Never really thought of that. MGS4: Old Subsistence (wild guess) or something of that nature.

And there is still the actual MS conference. There has to be at least 2 rare games announced either there or E3 (or one each I suppose)
"BoG said:For the record smug, I don't just think you lack sufficient evidence, I know you don't. A friend of a friend and an ambiguous "watch tonight!" from Jeff Keighley do not lead to any hard conclusions."Keighley didn't confirm anything. I guess we'll see, though.

Suffiecient evidence here would be "Kojima to announce MGS4 360 tonight". In reality, not even a "MGS announcement tonight" would be sufficient.
What I really mean is that I'm not pulling this out of my ass. There are things pointing to it.
Worst case scenario I'm wrong and we can all bash Smug, right?

For us, yes. The worst case scenario for you is that you're right, and we all bash Smug anyway.
"Doubt it, but I wouldn't be too shocked if it happened, but at this point, coming/not coming, I just want the debate to finally end."Well personally for me, if it's not announced to be going during this GDC, it won't ever.
I was never one who talked about this much, but there always has been a strong rumor that it'd come, especially recently with GDC upon us
"But honestly -- if this was to be the announcement, would they really want it to be spilled before the announcement? Seems suspicious, considering the magnitude of the FF13 announcement, this would be even bigger."I'm sorry, but no it wouldn't.
Final Fantasy is such a bigger franchise than MGS. MGS just has more of a fanboy culture surrounding it.
But you know what, every conference since E3 they have been stealing Sony exclusives, why would they quit now? First FF13, then Tekken 6. Today MGS4. Tomorrow? Nah.... they wouldn't do two megatons within a day. Perhaps another big exclusive, but nothing huge.
In reality though, this wouldn't be spilled. It's just more viewable as of the general situation.

It's not like they don't have their own games as well. If they relied solely on that, yea, but tomorrow we'll probably be seeing original stuff from them as well.
I keep on saying it, maybe not tomorrow but by E3, Rare will announce either PD2 or KI3.
It's probably more of a result of there not being a reason for the guys to be exclusives as well.
"Karmum said:Regardless of popularity, why would they want this potentially-shocking news to be released, prior to the announcement? There was no sign of leakage during E3 of last year. Again, I really doubt it is MGS-related. Hoping more for ZO3. Yes, please."But honestly -- if this was to be the announcement, would they really want it to be spilled before the announcement?

"Karmum said:Smug's right, it wouldn't be bigger, as the FF series is bigger. However, FF has the largest "fanboy culture" of any game series I know of."But honestly -- if this was to be the announcement, would they really want it to be spilled before the announcement?

I checked the twitter page, and found this only 2-3 hours before the one about checking out the ceremony. The times seem to match up:
"Big surprise is multi-platform. And it goes down in about 6 or 7 hours."
...still hoping for Zone of the Enders 3. Besides, isn't Kojima's keynote on Friday?
