Why, if you don't mind me asking? Serious, non-antagonistic question. Multiplayer?

Different reviewers, different tastes, patchbox360.

Then again if you let reviewers actually affect your purchasing decisions that much, try metacritic.

Is that a new article that has trolling now? How are we supposed to keep this civil when even news articles are going "look, it got 'only' 8/10!"

But I digress, I still have no doubt the 360 is technically up to it, and I don't think we were ever in any doubt Microsoft would think this is a good thing. I agree, I think everyone should have the chance to try it out. It's a fantastic game, and since the cutscenes are skippable they're not a problem.

Hmm, the fact that a microsoft PR praises the game publicly is a sign that something may be in the works... Or maybe he just wants us to believe that something is in the works. So the inevitable conclusion is: it will or won't happen, but there's no alternative.

Yeah, there is definiately a lot more value in reading the actual review text than just focussing on the score. That way you can gauge which parts of the game rang more true with you, and which bits that would annoy you personally, then score it yourself, more according to your tastes.

Not sure why I bother though, people will always get hung up on the damn number at the bottom of the page!

I'm sure Schappert has the technical knowledge to know if MGS would run well if PORTED to the 360. It's not a question of whether it works if it was built from the ground up as a 360 game - but as a port I doubt it would run well at all. Too much of the game would have to be rewritten as it makes a big deal about the fact that the original was on PS1 and the this one is on PS3 - it's a case of why bother? I'm sure MGS5 (whenever that is) may be on 360 but there is no way they'd rework MGS4 for the 360.

Of course MGS4 will come to the 360, just like every other 'important' third party PS3 exclusive.

I've yet to see a game that definitively proves it wouldn't be technically viable on the other platform.

The last I recall EG making that consideration was in their Uncharted review, but after completing it even I wasn't convinced you couldn't have had that game on the 360, as lovely and smashing as it was.

man... that would be so unfare, 360 owners get FFXIII, Tekken 6, and possibly MGS4

PS3 owners dont get GoW, Halo and Mass Effect

if it was a 2 way swap it'd be cool, but its not, the PS3 is losing all exclusives all over the place

If MGS 4 is one of them I'll be very pissed off...

PS3 aint losing exclusives, you get the games anyway. You shouldn't have a problem for others having those, as long as you can play them too.

FenderMaster: GOW, Halo and Mass Effect are all first-party titles, and properties owned my MS. MGS4 and Tekken 6 are third-party titles, not owned by Sony. And third-party publishers are seeing the financial wisdom in developing for both platforms, to recoup the massive outlays made in making the things in the first place.

miiiguel: You're absolutely right, Bioware owns the IP, not MS. So there you go, Fender, chances are EA might get round to commissioning a PS3 version if someone points out how many $$$ they might make from it.

@Widge

if you mean first party titles, then Singstar and Buzz.

but if you mean "first party" titles then how about Singstar, Buzz, Wipeout and God Of War to kick off the list.

The train's rolling, no turning back now. MGS4 will be on 360, otherwise this dude wouldn't mention it, imho.

Or, y'know, he (being an MS employee et al) can help negate the value of MGS to Sony as a selling point for their console by implying it'll come to the 360 (regardless of whether or will it not).

In any case I don't remember any claims from the development team that MGS couldn't be done on the 360, only that the code was tailored (i.e. optimized and that sort o' ting) for the PS3 and would thus presumably be tricky to port over (but not impossible, of course). Konami would probably like to have MGS4 on the 360 methinks - good money - but if it's as much hassle as writing a new game would be.....

At least the next Team Ico will be an exclusive, right? .... right?

RIGHT?

M$ hands Sony a wad of cash "give us Ico 2!!"

Sony: "sure thang boss"

PS3 owners worldwide: *groan*

buy some fucking exclusives Sony for the love of God!!

What he should be asking is do his audience have the patience to play it! It's not an experience I'd ever repeat. Especially the rediculous is he dead, isn't he dead ending....then other ending....then nonsense explanation of everything.

personally I think mgs4 was a 10, and I'm not saying that as a ps3 fanboy - I've got both platforms and if anything prefer my 360 a tad, but this article's last line is pure genius.

Wouldn't Sony and Apple sue Konami?

Or would they butcher the game by taking out Apple and Sony products.

Port it Konami, the 360 version would be a butchered mess, they'd have to remove a certain little minigame and cutscenes.
