@ The person who says MGS4 doesn't use all 50GB

Yes it does. Two words;

Lossless. Audio.

"Other than space on a single disc, there is no reason. There is no game on the PS3 that has better ingame graphics than the 360. I own a PS3 and 360 and have MGS4 and Uncharted, so please don't say they look better in game during actual game play.
"

"Stop praying 360 whores it's not gonna happen."

Call me back when HALO comes to ps3

TA-DA!

They could just put it up as a downloadable movie on Marketplace.

"1) Internet would explode, literally.

Multiple disc console games are the epitome of sexy. I don't understand why people have problems with it.

(I can live without MGS4, though. But it would be nice to see the internet explode.. again.)

Ok, only 1 person out of all this has mentioned Apple's involvement in MGS4, would Micro$oft  really have Apple's products on screen on their machine? if it was ported, a lot of editing is needed, sure, Kojima Productions can easily replace the Apple MacBook with something else, and re-record some dialogue regarding playstation consoles and other products too. The iPod player would be removed entirely, replaced with a zune perhaps. these are changes that can be done, and the engine would have to be tweaked to work with the 360 chipset.

let's face it it would completely kill sony into the dirt

"let's face it it would completely kill sony into the dirt"

I've never understood the problems with disc swopping o_O
Are you too fat to get your lazy arse up to change the disc or something? How hard can it be!

Stop the damn fucking moaning, it's that kind of talk that'll make companys not want to port games of that size
all you fucking moaners wanting it too fit on one damn disc, Just think how much more better - fuller - the games would be with higher res textures and bigger maps........
Disc swopping isn't an issue - no one moaned about FF7's disc swopping, whats suddenly changed? Everyone getting fucking lazy thats whats changed....it takes what....no more then a 1min to change disc, How fucking hard is that?, and i bet most of the moaners are american....cased closed tbh.....
i seriously can't wait for Microsofts Direct to drive idea or blu-ray's to take over DVD - just to shut you fucking moaners up ¬_¬

As for PS3 out does X360's graphics? HUH? - the graphics potential of both consoles are practically the same!
It's the damn CPU thats the major difference, CPU doesn't render graphics - it does PHYSIX Good god people......

i'll be glad when the Next gen G-cards hit the next consoles - the CPU power will be processed onboard the GPU and not the CPU
The next gen gaming is gonna be MINDBLOWING :D
Bring them ON! hehe

It could be done pretty easily, the problem is MGS4 is one of the few games that are helping to keep the PS3 afloat. With MGS4, there isn't much point to buying a PS3 over a 360.

Its too big

Am afraid to say, but it will never come to 360, but you know what other game you should get? its my game Robocop vs The Terminator, remember that game? that was a great game, you should get my game.

Technically it could be done.

However there are certain reason why it probably won't.  There are a lot of references to PS in the game so all that would have to be edited out.  Also they would have to change the controller that Snake uses to control mk II from a PS3 controller to a 360 controller.  So yeah it could be done with disc swapping but a lot of things would have to be edited out to do so.

Man, some of these comments are just incredibly ignorant.

because 360's suck and can't handle anything more then standard DVD's =D

"I've got a 360, everyone says it's impossible but I've never read into it.

I shagged all the other games on the PS2 by the way.
"

Perceivably fanboy-ish comment: No doubt Microsoft have tried to buy it already. *rolls eyes*.

Seriously though - it might happen but I think it would take a good 6 or 7 discs to do... which I guess isn't a very cost effective method of doing things. If they could cut it down to 4 I'm sure it's possible.

Having said that I'd presume loading times would be pretty heavy too?

Because blu ray

Because the Patriots forbid it.

I think the 360 port is unlikely since most of the people who were desperate to play it would've bought a PS3 for it - hell if MGS didn' shift consoles for Sony they really are screwed.

also that article posted earlier shows some of the difficulties a port would have

I think mainly because of the installations. Every time you change chapter the game has a 2 minutes installation and the 360 can't handle that (I guess).

"OLOLOLOOL OH EL OOHH ELL you cant play play it ELOHELOHELOHEL lolololollololo!!!!!!YOU CANT PLAY IT!!!!!!!!LOLOLOLOLOL OH EL!"

I most certainly think that it could be ported to the 360. Would it be as good as it is on the PS3? No I don't think so. But not so much because of the PS3's supposed superiority, but plain and simply because the port is pretty much always the inferior product.

As for it actually ever happening. Well I have serious doubts about that. After all, MGS4 is Kojima's baby, and he really has a big say in what happens with the game as far as I know. And well we all know that he really favours the PS3 and probably wouldn't be too happy about his baby being ported to the 360. Heck I can see him quiting his job if they ever went against his wishes and really did port the game.

Some like to say that porting MGS4 to the 360 would kill Sony, but what about porting Halo 3 over to PS3? Wouldn't that be a blow to the 360?

And it's very unlikely that MGS4 will make it on any other console. It's like saying that Gears of War 2 will be ported to the PS3 a year later.

Not only that, but the 360 could barely handle it.

This.

"They could get it on the 360 easy. They would just have to have a harddrive install like what they had with the PS3. Sony likes to make stuff up so people think the PS3 is more powerful, but it's not."

Ok, basically there are a few reasons, no matter what the rumours are, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to the point where the percentage of that happening is 2.766666666666666666667%. Anyways, here are the reasons:

1) First and foremost, it was confirmed by Hideo Kojima, the great man himself, saying that he would not port the game to the Xbox 360,

2) The hardware and software needed to run the game

3) and lastly, several key elements in the game that are products that are in rival to Microsoft: 1. The great big Apple iPod, 2. The Sixaxis Controller which Old Snake uses to control the Mk. II and also, characters in the game uses various Sony Ericsson mobile phones. (I highly doubt that Kojima Productions will change all these products to be more Microsoft-friendly, although it might happen if Microsoft decides to pay $1 billion for the port just like the exclusive downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV[which still hasn't come out yet])

The simplest answer:  Marketing.

Console specific games are such a pain. Jackasses.

SPOILERS AHOY
The Xbox 360 and Windows use DirectX for 3d rendering, which is proprietary software.
The PS3 and Wii use OpenGL or other renderers, which is one reason as to why certain 360 multiplats are regarded as superior.
Combine that with the extended Blu-Ray format which may cause issues if split into multiple discs, and the vastly different architecture of the Cell and 360 processor, and lol no.

Because you touch yourself at night

@ Emillio, why are you posting on this thread if its 3 weeks old? Is there a limit to how many pages there are? Also, I'm merely summing up while additionally adding a few points to why Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't going to come out on the Xbox 360.

yeah ,its pretty impossible. To port the EXACT same game anyway,"

Too much PS3 related dialog will have to be rerecorded. As well as many Sony references will have to be removed.
