The 360?

The only thing suggesting that is the green colour...

It looks more like the Wii symbol at the start, or even the iPhone?

Or perhaps its showing all the consoles and the end to the sentence is " A Next Metal Gear is multiplatform" ?

Haha does it really matter if it does go multi platform??

Kojima may not be involved and aslong as his next game is a new ZOE i dont really care. No doubt MS wil try anything to get it on the 360 as well.

Looks like a 'Acid' version of the game..

So it begins....

while a 360 game is possible, I'm betting on a new MG acid game or something based off the Metal gear series (rather than Metal get solid)

remake of 1+2? (yes please)

"Colours suggests. Images don't. Do some research... "

Depends. The colour isn't the exact 360 colour. The power icon isn't the exact 360 icon. Put both together in this context however... Was inevitable wasn't it because unlike the article tries to suggest, mgs has never been an exclusive franchise. It's been on the cube, pc, xbox, etc.

Not that it really matters. It will be interesting to see if it's mgs4 and if so, how much of this "NEEDS T3H POWA OF BLURAY!" is true.

You do know the PS3 power button looks like that as well, and lights up once you press it...

I ll bet my entire gaming collection that the next game will be a multi platform one! With credit crunch, few devs not owned by MS/Sony would dare go exclusive and cut off a great proportion of the market and their profit being halved.

Yeah seem to suggest AC!D but we ll see.

I don't understand how the gaming world gets all wet over these games. Bring it to the 360 if you like, but I won't buy it. I'd rather spend the £40 on 4 decent DVDs, than listen to 20 hours of Kojima's sci-fi wet dream.

Wouldnt suprise me if it was an MGS 4 remake, similar to what they did with MGS 2 subsitence on the original Xbox

My money's on a multi-disc port of MGS4 for Xbox 360. Konami spent mega millions developing it and the user base for PS3 isn't big enough to accomodate that kind of budget - they were expecting to ship at least 1m copies and (according to Sony's awards yesterday) only managed just over 500,000. They'll sneak it across to Xbox with a few corners cut (and probably a load of lame VR missions) and hope to recoup some of the dev costs.

I suspect they re taking the piss somewhat, after all the "its coming to 360 rumors"

If we learned anything from Kojima and that b*stard Raiden, nothing is EVER what it seems in MGS world. So with that in mind, i expect an exclusive DS release for MGS soon....

Xerx3s - See your point but imo that's far fetched and some.

Also worth noting how much Kojima likes fking with people. Wouldn't surprise me if this is the reaction he was after...

+1000

I have movies that are better at being games than MGS4 is, and as a juicy bonus, are also better movies.

I never understand where people get the 'MGS4 is just a movie' from.
I have absolutely zero interest in the story line and skipped all the scenes and it still is the best game Ive played this year.
I played through it twice, once killing everything in sight and once not killing anyone. It was like playing a completely different game.

Loing all the Sony fanboys in denial.

If you can't accept it one way, accept it this way: It's Microsoft, they get what they want eventually. Deal with it.

That sounds so wrong, to me. I could never play a game like that. What one needs to do, shutdown the brain ?

edit: well, my bad, I can play games like that: Pac-Man, Pinball...

hmm, (most) online multiplayer games have zero story and yet most people (ie geeks on this site) I would guess spend far more time on that part of the game than on the single player. Warhawk has no story what-so-ever and so far I have wasted 100 hours of my life on that game.

My opinon based on common sense is that this is going to be multiplatform or Wii exclusive.

*gets popcorn, and awaits yet another fanboy tardfest*

But regardless, colour me intrigued/curious/baffled/half-expecting Konami to announce a 're-imagining' of the very first Metal Gear just to throw everyone a curveball.

I did back in the mists of time. But then again, I didn't like MGS2, missed 3, and bad memories of 2 stopped me playing 4. But when I did, it was quite good.

How you got the 360 power button from the universal symbol for "power on" is something that only you can know. Wha... my PS3 has a 360 power button. And my computer screen! God, my TV set (a Sony one, too) has the 360 power button. Wh... my PC power button even is green!

"OMFG IT'S GOT A STANDBY BUTTON, THAT MUST MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE A 360 GAME!!!"

Because the PS3 doesn't have that symbol on it all does it? Neither does my telly, or DVD player, or PC....

"BUT THEY USED GREEN!!!"

Ah right, yeah, of course, I forgot MS invented that colour. Parks and woodland were so much more dull before MS kindly invented green and made them prettier.
