    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

    Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jun 12, 2008

    In 2014, war has become so routine that it is at the core of the global economy. A rapidly aging Solid Snake picks up his gun and embarks upon his final mission in this epic tale of tactical espionage action -- the conclusion to the Solid Snake saga.

    If Metal Gear Solid 4 came to the 360 would you buy it? Would you pay $60?

    Nope, I'm planning on buying a PS3 in the summer, along with MGS4.

    I'd reserve it @ Blockbuster & pick it up the second it came out for $60 because it's an experience that's so unique and that I'm so excited to have I feel it's worth $60.
    I also justify it with the fact that I want to support the people behind this game I'm so excited to play. Plus I'd love getting MGS4 achievements.

    I bought and played it on the PS3...did not enjoy it and got rid of it. I may consider buying it on the 360 for a cheaper price ($30) if MGO actually worked. I think MGO had some potential, but it was a disaster when I played it around launch. Maybe MGO is fun now, but I wasn't going to wait and see if it would actually turn out to be good. I also want to sort of play through it again to see if maybe I'd like it after playing through it a second time...I absolutely love the series and MGS4 was so disappointing. Maybe a second playthrough would change my mind on the game.

    If they made enough interesting changes (because I've already played through the game on PS3), but in reality I'd probably be renting this game from Gamefly anyways so I wouldn't care.  Maybe just FIX THE FUCKING ENDING?  I would probably buy it if they did that.

    I would think anyone without a PS3 would be picking it up right away. Though i'd guess most wouldn't buy it again.

    Don't worry, if it ever came out on the 360 you could grab a used copy a few months later. Lol

    I'd probably end up renting it since it doesn't seem like the type of game I'd play through again.

    nah, only place I can get it used is gamestop. And I absolutely hate how they slap their stupid stickers, not just on the box now, but on the actual art cover.

    I have a PS3 and 360 but don't currently own MGS4. If this is announced at E3, I'd totally pay full price for it on the 360. mainly for the achievements, but I also like party chatting with friends while I play games.

    Already played it and beat it on the PS3. Unless they included extra's and some other changes, maybe I would buy it again(...not for $60 of course, broke as of right now  and the foreseeable future lol).

    Definitely not, as I own it on my PS3. And I would not buy it even if it had fancy extras as MGS4 was easily the worst game in the Solid series. This coming from a fan of MGS since the original.

    Never played a MGS game. If it came to 360, I might just check it out because of all the hype.

    I would depending on how it's changed. As much as I would like 360-only owners to play it, I can't imagine it going to the system.

    I'd probably buy it on release day. I've never played a Metal Gear game and I don't own a PS3 so that'd be awesome if I could get into the series.

    Already have it on PS3, so no.  As a side note, I'd be really mad if a 360 version got story-based content and the PS3 version didn't.

    I just bought a PS3 but no, I would get MGS4 for the 360 because I'm more heavily invested in achievements than trophies.

    See this is what I don't get when people ask for party chat on PS3. Why the hell would you want to play a story driven game like Metal Gear while talking to friends about the weather? It just seems nonsensical to me.

    I think it'd have to bring something new to the table for me to buy it again as I already have it on ps3. It would definitely need to be something beyond the general upgrades in the reissued ports. The only thing I can really think of is when MGS3: Substinence included MG1 and MG2. 


    Even then, that wouldn't feel like a neccessary purchase, and I'd definitely wait until a price drop, if I ever do. However, I'm the sort of person that doesn't really get crazy into buying multiple copies of a single game or of hardware deviations, particularly in these economic times. 

    I need mo' money.

    I'll wait and see how it looks first. If the graphics don't take a massive hit then I will totally buy it for 360.

    I've already got to act 5 on my friends ps3, but I wouldn't mind playing through it again since it is such an outstanding game.

    I have it on the PS3 (still haven't beaten it yet...don't hit me!!) but I am not sure. It is definitely worth $60 but the main reason I would play through it again would be for new content and, as Jeff said, points. Gotta love them points!

    prolly be like 1-3 for me. buy/rent them and have them sit in a corner and never touch them or get maddeningly angry at the controls after an hour or so and throw them in a corner. I would buy it and try it though if it was like$20-$30.
