MGS4 coming to 360, claims Twitterer News
Xbox 360 News by Ellie Gibson
Rumours of what Microsoft will be showing at E3 are flying, with talk of an Xbox 360 Metal Gear Solid 4 port topping the bill.
Someone twittering under the name "Game Fork" claims to have insider knowledge of what's in store for the platform holder's conference.
Apparently the big reveal will be Metal Gear Solid 4 + Oxide, as it'll be called. Konami will also announce a 360 exclusive - "NOBODY outside of Kon has been told what this is," says Game Fork.
Lionhead is also said to be set to unveil a new title. We're told it's called Richter.
Other games apparently on show will include Forza 3, Assassin's Creed 2, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Halo ODST, All Points Bulletin, BioShock 2 and Lost Planet 2.
The much-rumoured motion-sensing camera will be shown off, according to Game Fork. It's official name is given as Xbox Fluid.
Word is the next batch of downloadable content for GTA IV is titled Blood and a Four Leaf Clover. "Get used to the name. You'll be saying it a lot this Christmas," Game Fork says.
We'll be spending the rest of this morning being told that the various companies involved don't comment on rumour and speculation. Can't wait.

MGS4 on the 360. Do we really need it? New exclusive 360 game from Konami sounds more interesting.

Pretty much, I'm a big fan and it is a great game (except for the silly online system)! I used other "excuses" to justify it of course. I needed both Blu and a new upscaling DVD (launch 360 so no HDMI and of course HD DVD), and TC4 was coming. But basically if I knew MGS was coming to 360, I could have got a cheap stand alone blu and saved 300 notes! It's not like PS3 has dazzled in the year I've had it (apart from Siren). Still it's my main media player so I guess it wasn't too bad an investment, "people will buy it even with no games".......... |

lol some unknown person posts something on twitter saying he has 'inside information'
anyone could do this and make up any sort of rumors... we get to hear exactly what Hideo's next project is before long anyway so waiting on that rather than someones 'inside knowledge' also 'no one outside of konami knows about it', so that presumably includes MS lmao but if it was a 360 exclusive wouldn't konami tell ms they were developing it lol |

exactly. Although i understand ppl can get insider knowledge to things, the amount of rumors that are completely false are amazing (well this is the internet). I mean anyone can make a twitter account and post what they like. Until Hideo announces what the game is, i'm not buying any rumors
edit: well twitter can be good if used correcltly e.g. i've only got a few ppl one there such as forzerotwo, evan wells, official bf1943 etc. it can be a really good way to get 'news of news' cus they'll usually post up to inform ppl that something is on the way etc but i'd only ever trust something from 1 of these times of ppl i.e. publishers of a game, lead developers etc etc

Well as a PS3 fan all I can say is make sure you 360 fans go buy this game, yeah ok so another exclusive has gone, but if your a PS3 owner you would already have this game so it's all good lol.
The online system is daft, but the actuall game play (despite what that tard Fartsomethingorother says) is soild (pun intended) I don't think they game would be all that popular on the 360 as its the 4th in a series and you have to understand the whole back story, if you do have a 360 and havnt played the other games, do so...NOW Anyway hope you lot enjoy it as much as I did! |

I thought MGS4 coming to the 360 eventually was a given, big budget and proper third party - not a Sony studio. It's a very popular game so people must get some fun out of it. For me it's another example of a Japanese game series which refuses to update it's control scheme where plenty of other games have shown better ways ... *cough* Res Evil *cough*.
The online stuff was a good laugh - though hampered by the controls - mowing people down by rolling in a barrel then chundering is quality. :) |

anyone with a swift, working set of peepers could see this coming a mile off. even before it's ps3 release it was obvious it would eventually show up on 360, anyone remember substance etc?.
well, anyway. . .mgs4 is worth playing i suppose in the same way a car crash is worth experiencing as long as you don't get hurt. so, if playing this game poses you no mortal danger you should all give it a shot.

Significant changes? They'd need to re-do the script in places, ie, remove all the "no need to change discs"/"bluray"/the entire PsychoMantis "Dualshock3" speech, remove the DS3 graphics and probably create some engine that runs the MGS1 section (on the PS3 it just switches to the PS1 emulator). Thats about it though, I'm sure they could manage that. Well, they'd need to re-do the entire online bit (or leave it out)... while they're at it, they can do the PS3 version at the same time and bung in trophies.
EDIT: great tagging!

The MGS4 thing sounds as viable as ever, until they say that it'll be the big end to the conference. Which is clearly bollocks when you think about the implications.

I highly doubt that a port of a (nearly) 2 year old PS3 game would top the bill of MS announcements at E3. Realistically how many units is it likely to shift?
Apart from that, there's nothing mentioned on that list that isn't expeced. Its a solid (pardon the pun) line-up, but nothing suprising at all really. |

Totally not impressed with the line-up, except Lost Planet 2. Who needs MGS4 anyway? I played it almost a year ago and I can't remember anything about the game except the long dialogues and the beautiful music. You won't be missing much and surely people aren't mad enough to buy a PS3 just for that game?! Anyway, this game´s ancient now, moving on...
Then again I haven't touched my Xbox in some weeks either... Ok, I'll admit it: I'm a singstar addict ;-) |

I bought a PS3 solely for MGS4 (well and FFXIII but that's already confirmed for 360!). Would I be pissed off if it came out on 360? Nah, I'd buy it again to be honest. I've got good mileage out of the PS3 from other games too so this can only be good news, and if it doesn't happen then nevermind!

"Blood and a Four Leaf Clover" for reals? So it's focused on the Irish family then, for sure. And here I'd been looking forward to the story of that gangbanger you run into all over the game.
Now I'm wondering how many discs MGS4 360 are being released on, if that's true.

I hope this is true. The PS3 version was utterly awesome, the best in the series IMO, so as many people as possible should have the chance to experience it.
I'm glad I bought the PS3 version though because having the game on one disc is more convenient even with the mandatory HDD installs between chapters. Presumably the 360 version will arrive on 4 to 5 DVDs even with compression as the PS3 version used 33 GB of a dual-layer BD? |

Will be worth a purchase if it does happen so I can see if the fuss is justified. And so I can do my crap Snake impression while playing it.

If true I'd be interested in how they tackle the Playstation specific moments and what the addition content amounts to. I would buy this one as well since MGS4 was one of my personal favorite games of last year.

"I hope this is true. The PS3 version was utterly awesome, the best in the series IMO, so as many people as possible should have the chance to experience it."
This. It has its fair share of foibles (as pointed out in the EG review), but when said & done I enjoyed it immensely. And it's one of those games you need to share and discuss with others, so the more that play it the better. Wonder what extra content Konami will bring this time? The mandatory installs were annoying though, particularly if you just wanted to replay that awesome bike section. I'm not sure disc swapping would be much better, mind :\ |

Riiiiight. Next you'll be saying people need to stop using cars (because they can go fast and kill people), stop buying newspapers (because they have their own political agendas), or stop eating food (because it can make you fat). |

I doubt the fact that it's a one year old port is how they'll be playing it. It'll be one of their headlines and the fact they've secured MSG4, another historically Sony exclusive, AAA, system-seller is big news and strengthens the 360 library. It also means less sales for Sony as people considering buying a PS3 for this now have a much cheaper option of buying the game and a 360/ or 360 owners considering a PS3 won't bother.
As it stands, I think the only real differentiator for the PS3 now, in terms of games is WipeOut HD, GT and LBP. (*if* MSG4 is announced)

MGs4 on 360 Better not be true! I wasted a great deal of money last May if that is the case!!!
And how does that differ from wasting it on a 360 version this year? Well, aside from the £200 difference.... Significant changes? They'd need to re-do the script in places, ie, remove all the "no need to change discs"/"bluray"/the entire PsychoMantis "Dualshock3" speech Just replace the changing discs line with "Okay you're going to have to install to the hard drive now, so sit down for half an hour and wait while we do. -oh, wait, that was back when people had to use the impractically slow transfer rates of Blu-ray - you just need to switch the disc." And the mantis bit is even easier. Have him gloat that for all your controller being superior, it doesn't help you. The bit where a playstation flashes up and he comments that your hardware has improved would be even funnier on 360.
