On the top right corner. Wonder what this is all about?

[jaxmkii]

Big typo!

[NeoPlayStation]

Another Quarterman mistake?

[Grovestreet]

Rumor...Anything could happen...

[LiquidEagle]

I know what it is...

Not true :-p

[xbdestroya]

I don't think it's a typo, but nor do I think it's true...

It's just one of those hypothetical questions that gets asked, and receives a hypothetical answer. But it stands out, so it sells magazines.

[LiquidEagle]

^ ^ ^

Exactly.

[solidsnakejej]

It won't happen because Kojima already said that he does not like multi platform games. He always likes to do a game on a single platform so that the game uses the console power to the fullest.

[Nameless]

^ Agreed.
I'm sure it's a stunt to sell more mags...
I still like the idea of Raiden appearing in Ninja Gaiden 2!

[McLaren]

^ Agreed.

was that from EGM also????

[LiquidEagle]

That was from an interview with the head of Team Ninja, they actually are discussing putting Raiden in DOA4 I think, which sounds really cool, and that may very well be what this cover teaser is mentioning...

[Nameless]

^ Correct, but the discussion was Ninja Gaiden related not DOA5...
It would be cool if Raiden appreared in both titles!

[EvilTaru]

I don't think it's a typo, but nor do I think it's true...

It's just one of those hypothetical questions that gets asked, and receives a hypothetical answer. But it stands out, so it sells magazines.

This kind of stunt is the reason why I will no longer purchase EGM anymore. And if the OPM people don't quit with the stupid crab joke on every single Radiopm show and their whole anti-PS3 schtick, I will also boycott OPM as well.

Does anybody really believe that when an enhanced MGS4 comes out it won't find it's way to 360?

[Diresu]

Considering Kojima himself said that he doesn't like to do ports, yes I do believe it.

QFT.

Hmmm... now how do you reason that McLaren? :smoke:

as u can see, people will know its not real....its meant to act as a placebo :thumbr:

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Yeah, it's got a question mark at the end to get you curios and pick up the magazine. Not gonna happen.

[Red_Eyes]

MGS4 on the 360? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. MGS4 is optimize for the PS3. Why would Kojima spent so much money on changing the whole game engine just to optimize it for the 360 when all the haters on the 360 won't even buy it? That's just a waste of money and Kojima won't do it. Kojima rather target it's true fans, the PS3 fans!

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I get the issue in the mail, probably this coming week, so I'll see what the hell they're going on about inside. Probably a little cut out of dated material of kojima telling some annoying console specific site journalist that it's not coming to the 360.

[Acason79]

Its from the 1up yours podcast from this week, Listen at around 46:30. They talk about how expensive the game will be and the ammount of possible PS3's out in the world. They are speculating that they will port it later. They talk about exclusives and ports and how next-gen is facing games made for one next-gen console and it being ported to the other and the obvious problems the game faces since the architectures are so different.

They also say if and its a big if MGS4 comes out for the 360 that it wont be in the same calender year and Shane says it wont be near the same as the PS3 version due to Kojima taking full advantage of the Blu-Ray storeage medium.

Sorry cant post the link(dint have 15 posts yet) :p

[LaLiLuLeLo]

So it's a speculation segment. It's not even news (?)

[Acason79]

Right, no news pure speculation.

[TheGreenElf]

I'd say if it were true, then it would be a bit bigger on the cover.

[Acason79]

If it was true it would be the cover.

[ddaryl]

MGS4 will probably be a time based exclusive on the PS3 and then ported over to the Xbox 360.

I can for see it happening. Sony stil gets the game 1st and gets a game designed for the PS3 from the ground up. And that is what matters to me and the games I choose to play. As long as MGS4 is designed for the PS3 a port to the Xbox 360 means nothing to me.

[VG Aficionado]

MGS4 will probably be a time based exclusive on the PS3 and then ported over to the Xbox 360.Not at all. Kojima Productions do not develop multiplatform games since they tailor their games to their platforms, and that includes Cell, Blu-ray, SIXAXIS, standard HDD, PSP interaction, etc. in MGS4's case for PS3. They won't release a heavily modified version for another system. Besides, you can't say it won't be exclusive just because some pro360 guys speculate so in a magazine instead of it being confirmed by Kojima Productions themselves.

MGS4 will be expensive, no doubt about it, and so will Lair ($25M). However, the development costs will not include Lair only, but they will spread over two more PS3 projects as shown in their GDC slides. ZOE3 on the PS3 means that some of the MGS4 development costs include some investments for ZOE3's PS3 engine and whatnot (remember ZOE used MGS2's modified engine). Also, they haven't really committed to a concrete release date for MGS4, so they could very well delay it for further polishing and in order to get more sales.

Besides, MGS4 is one of the biggest or simply the biggest and most anticipated exclusive PS3 game along with FFXIII. It's not going to become multiplatform all of a sudden, so all of you who think it will not remain exclusive can get ready to wait for it as well as for MGS3's Xbox/PC/GameCube port (i.e. will never happen).

:duh: at the whole thread. Isn't the author of this thread the same one who recently made a thread about DMC4 not being exclusive anymore with no evidence other than an ambiguous and old document? You pull the trigger too quickly, man.

[woundingchaney]

I simply cant see this happening. The MGS series is linked to the PS as Halo is to the Xbox. This is not a title Sony would willingfully give up and Kojima has even been referrenced in saying (repeatedly) I might add that there is no intentions of taking the title cross-platform. With the poor acceptance of MGS2 on the xbox in the past I simply cant see this coming to fruition. Though as strange as it may sound I wouldnt want to see the title go multi simply because there are experiences that define a console what I expect form Gears on the 360 is much what I expect of MGS4 on the PS3, as to say titles that reflect the nature and concepts of their hardware.


Sorry for being some what wax and poetic still trying to get past WWI stream of conscious novels. LOL

EDITOR 1 : "We need to get more people reading, what can we do"

EDITOR 2 : Lets say MGS4 is coming to 360, that should get people interested in buying a copy"

[jaxmkii]

Does anybody really believe that when an enhanced MGS4 comes out it won't find it's way to 360? do you really believe 360 could handel a enhanced MGS4?:wtf: i bet it won't even fit on 360s disk:look:

[Colin™]

I remember a thread exactly like this for MGS2. Almost word for word.

[Nodieza]

MGS4 on the 360? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. MGS4 is optimize for the PS3. Why would Kojima spent so much money on changing the whole game engine just to optimize it for the 360 when all the haters on the 360 won't even buy it? That's just a waste of money and Kojima won't do it. Kojima rather target it's true fans, the PS3 fans!

So your implying all the people who own 360s are haters of MGS:huh:

I for one own a 360 and LOVE the MGS series and it would be a delight to have it on the 360.

Why is everyone so close minded? He brought MGS2 to the xbox and pc, and MGS one to the GC, I could see why he wouldn't want to put it on the 360 but I wouldn't %100 doubt these claims just yet.

I bet your all the same people who are excited that Ninja Gaiden is being brought to the Ps3.

You guys act like the world is coming to an end when you hear these claims, why? It wouldn't effect you guys except the "enemy" is getting a great game.

Oh NOOOO's!!!!

Multiplatform is a great thing. *sigh* I am wasting my time ey?

[Colin™]

*sigh* I am wasting my time ey?

EXACTLY! Now run away.

[Smokey]

nooooo MGS on 360! back to point, if MGS came out on 360 it would be a different game i think as he has said he dont like porting. it would be mgs but not the same as PS3 version. i agree with wounding but the problem is wounding is Halo is owned by MS but MGS series isnt "owned" by Sony :(

[xbdestroya]

Nodieza I remember you used to be one of the biggest 360 haters around here; my how times have changed. ;)

Instead of trying to paint yourself as a 360 fan who likes MGS, I think it would be more effective in conveying your point if you took the angle, 'I once used to think as many of you here do, but there's a better way....'

[Nameless]

I'd say if it were true, then it would be a bit bigger on the cover.

Response:

If it was true it would be the cover.

QFT!
LOL, you are damn right!!!

[VG Aficionado]

I remember a thread exactly like this for MGS2. Almost word for word.Meaningless. MGS2 was the last game Kojima ported, and they learnt the lesson.

MGS4 won't go multiplatform.

Why is everyone so close minded? He brought MGS2 to the xbox and pc, and MGS one to the GC, I could see why he wouldn't want to put it on the 360 but I wouldn't %100 doubt these claims just yet.We're not the close-minded ones: Kojima is. He's the one who said "no multiplatform games".

MGS1 on GC is not a port, but an aberration.

[digital neXus]

This is the most stupidest thing I ever heard, porting fo X360, wahahahahahahaaaaaaaa, what the hell is wrong with those people.

Has anyone at least read that issue of EGM?

[VG Aficionado]

People, it's been debunked.

It's fake people. It's been confirmed as fake.

This is the true EGM magazine
