I am actually wondering how MGS4 for the 360 will handle, Konami will have to cut all the PS3 references and They will also have to cut out all the macs in the game! I really don't think Microsoft will allow konami to run advertisements for their major competitor in the computer market. All in all it was expected, at least I did, that this game will eventually come to the 360, Sony unlike Microsoft do not pay third party publishers/developers for exclusives.
I also wonder how many discs it will take as Kojima himself complain that a few features had to be cut from the game because of disc space issues, and thats on a dual layer Blu-Ray disc which we all know to contains 50GB. So if Konami did use the full 50GB and had to compress the data and lose some of the games features in order for them to fit the game on one dual layer blu-ray the it would take at least 6 dual layer dvd's if not more. Though in all fairness they could have the player simply install the entire game on his 360 HDD and then just keep the first disc for authentication.
I will also would like to see how the game will play as I think, and correct me if I am wrong, that if this is true MGS 4 will be the first game to be made for the ps3 first and then ported to the 360. I wonder how much of the graphics they will have to lose, if any, and how much they had to change the physics as MGS 4 had a lot physics running on top of everything like bullets, explosion clouds, cloths and dust, which I think ran in real time and did not had any predetermined path. I will give you an example: There is a part in the game where you fight a lot of Gekkoes and there are explosions going all around and dust and debris are flying everywhere and it just so happened that I forgot to take the OctoCamo Mask off and after the fight wa done there was a cutscene and as Snake spoke and moved the dust kept coming off of him as you would expect in real life, so after words went back and did the xect same fight and not only did the dust pattern were different they were also coming off of him in a different fashion.
