    This whining is hysterical, haha. Cry, xbots! Cry!

    "project seems like a waste of time and money for Konami and Apple. Regardless of where I fall in the console battle, it seems more profitable for Konami to create a 360 version of MGS4."

    Let's see, should I trust the creator of the game or a random fanboy in an internet forum? What do you know about what makes money or not? Who are you to decide it? This ARROGANCE is an exclusivity of xbots. I can't find a single Wii owner flooding the internet with BS saying that it would be much more profitable to port Gears of War to the Wii (maybe they are too busy having fun on a console that doesn't self-destruct?).

    This game was never intended to go to the 360. I won't even fit a single DVD and your console is not powerful enough to handle it without some serious reduction of quality. Porting it would be like creating a whole new game from scratch.

    Nowhere in the teaser it said X360. Absolutely NOWHERE. Any intelligent person would take the "i" as a clue, and many did thought of iPhone, DSi or the Wii. Only the fanboys got all worked up because of the universal power button. Haha.

    Cell games sell, maybe you won't hear about it because this is the "giantbomb" and they don't speak of such things. But there's a huge market for it, with virtually no piracy (yes, the X360 is piracy ridden piece of crap) . The costs of creating such a game are much smaller than a console game because the graphics and content won't be as big.

    Please xbots, make us laugh some more... continue your whining. I will come here time to time to check what ignorant BS you are spewing since the last time.

    Wow! I don't think I could care any less about this news. Thanks konami! I mean you would have made a garaunteed profit by releasing it on the XBOX 360, but noooooooo!
    (before anyone says it. No I'm not an XBOX 360 fanboy, quite the opposite infact. No, I just like the MGS series alot, Oh well... there's other games I suppose, plus who's to say it won't eventually be released on the 360.)

    Wow, this seems like one of the biggest waste of time and effort for Konami.  Maybe Hideo is actually sold on the whole "iPhone as a gaming console" deal.

    Can I be the one to point out MGS4 took up almost the entire Blue Ray disk.  Thats almost 50gb.  I don't think there was ever any chance it coming out on the 360 as a 5 disc game.

    The iPhone could have done better with a rendition of the 'AC!D' series trademark rather than a 'SOLID' experience, the controls are just too limited when compared to other handhelds. Also, to all 360 owners, it's been discussed over and again, a MGS4 on the X360 just wouldn't work gameplay wise and in relation to industry as well, you can it's just not profitable to be selling a game that takes up 4+ discs, you would have just start from scratch and build a whole new game. It's disappointing that the great experience cannot be shared on all consoles but there are just too many hardware limitations that would hinder the ability to make a quality game. Just be patient, Kojima did hint that they may develop a game exclusively for the X360 system due time, I do hope that 'Metal Gear Solid Touch' does achieve, even though I am not an owner of the hardware but in my honest opinion, an "AC!D" game is much more suited to the iTouch.

    The good side of exclusives is that they are the only games where the true potential of the hardware will be shown, and that's what MGS4 do and many others will do this year.

    Multiplatform games mean "the minimum common denominator" because of the lazy developers that won't bother taking full advantage of the PS3. They only make the game to look similar to what you find in the X360 (and under 8GB of size, because the X360 can't handle more than that).

    I hope the new PS3 games start using a full Bluray disc worth of data and push the Cell CPU to the limit.

    I can't believe Apple managed to pay Konami for supporting their new "Teh Ipod are gaming console!!!2" approach.

    "Vidiot's crackpipe typed:
    "I think he speaks of the relation of the green power symbol, and how the 360 shares that same green power symbol. Perhaps he does not know the context that most electronic devices share this green power symbol, that it is universal."

    look here, holmes. Metal Gear Solid is a video game. out of all the consoles this generation both portable and big, including the iPhone, the 360 is the only one that has that specific power symbol light up green. and it's its center piece. the same color as the power symbol in the equation. how do explain that, smarty-nuts?

    let me explain it for you: Konami wants to have a shit in all Xbox owners mouths. they wanted to get our hopes all up so we could nut our pants so we'd all have that ocean/hospital room smell, ya know? the smell of sperm? because Konami is fuckin discusting like that. they're a bunch of perverts who would fuck their own Milkman in the anus without his consent if they got a chance. that's the only logical answer so deal with it. "
    I was going to type a rebuttal regarding the common use of a green power button, how the Ps3 has the same power symbol with complementary green light, but then I read the end of your last paragraph and everything for me came into perspective. It's the part where you explain your "logical answer" versus mine. To refresh, my final conclusion resulted with both experience with online research, knowing people personally in the industry, and a good amount of simple common sense regarding the logistics of these "resources" everyone is yelling about here.

    By contrast: Your "logical answer" involves metaphorical hospital rape.

    I'm done for this thread. :P

    thiago was like:
    "Multiplatform games mean "the minimum common denominator" because of the lazy developers that won't bother taking full advantage"

    i fuckin concur with that shit. be nice to see a cross-platform developer make a dope ass dope game more than 7 measly gigs for the PS3, then port it down for the Xbox version.

    problem is, porting down is like making 2 games. nobody has time for that these days. making 1 game for the current-gen takes long enough. dudes can't see their kids, can't fuck their wives, they gotta switch to homosexuality and fuck each other in the office like its prison or somethin. i seen that shit happen.

    the only way past this is for the PS3 to start out selling the Xbox. then the developers will come a' runnin top speed because that's where the money is. they don't care how much it would hurt to dive into a pile of gold coins and swim in it, they still just wanna be Scrooge McDuck. luckily for me and you the PS3 is startin to take over Xbox markets. PS3 now outsells Xbox in every country on the planet except the good ol' USA. and even the USA gap is closing, i think its like a US overall 2 million console difference now. so finally we can start to get out of this 8-gig rut.

    the 09 is a good example of climbin out of this barely-next-gen shit storm we're in. i can name like 6 games commin out in the 09 off the top of my head that have the testicles to bring us 30-50 gig games and still charge us the same $60:
    Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, White Knight, Final Fantasy Versus, Yakuza 3, Mag, God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13. dude, thats like 9 games off the top of the dome.

    There are so many people with gray names indicative that they are neutral in the "console war" yet their comments do not reflect this in any way. Interesting.

    I don't own an iphone, or an iPod touch, so I'm a bit disappointed. I was really hoping to hear news of a "Metal Gear: Raiden" or something new in that respect. But a dumbed down MGS:4 on the iphone is a real let down... I would imagine even those who own only a 360, would want to see the full ps3 version, over an iphone version of the game. I'm no expert in what sells or doesn't, but it just doesn't seem like a worthwhile effort. But... hey, maybe I'm wrong. This may turn out to be really cool, but I still wish it was news of a sequel =(
