Rumor 101: Microsoft’s “Metal Gear” for the Xbox 360
There are still a few days before the New Year officially dawns upon us. But the industry is in no mood to slow down. If you guys thought that 2007 was one of the biggest years, it would be a mere understatement, for 2008 shall bring us to our knees for it is the return of the prodigal son on his favorite console and this epic drama under the guise of an espionage game gets better and better each time we witness it in motion. (Drum Roll) and Snake slithers onto our television screens.
It seems absolutely impossible to notice that Microsoft is unfazed by Metal Gear Solid 4, the titan of all games released during the year on the PS3. Splinter Cell: Conviction might not be powerful enough to scratch our beloved Solid Snake, so Microsoft has decided to bring something as brilliant as the game on the 360.Word has it that the company is in collaboration with a highly talented studio that can give their Xbox 360 something way better than Snake.
According to sources, Microsoft executives saw a brief demo of the game and came back thoroughly impressed. The core gameplay mechanics has somewhat been finalized, but the studio is yet to decide on the gameplay perspective (first person Vs third person). The game is rumored to take place in the future and will incorporate major political events that have occurred in the last few years. The studio has managed to pull off visuals that were previously thought to be next to impossible on the Xbox 360 and is supposed to look better than any PS3 game that has been shown or is available on the platform exclusively till date.
Metal Gear loggerheads and fanatics are going to have an insanely twisted time with the game, says the source. Watch out for further announcements regarding this uber-title sometime in the middle of 2008.
This will be to Metal Gear what PGR is to Gran Turismo. Inferior in every way.
propaganda
M$ is releasing a phantom game for 360. WOW! Can’t wait. I wonder if it will be out before the New XBoxHD launches. LOL
yeah too bad gran turismo is one word- boring, and u know it haha
can’t help but think of when EA said black was the “HALO killer” and then it turned out to be craptastic.
Here’s hopin M$ can make up for not getting MGS 4 till sometime down the road.
That’s the most vague announcement ever. Developers always claim that there game will be the next best thing but in the end how many are actually right? On top of that you’re not going to see this game until 2009 at the soonest.
…Fghfdh…. It’s will be to MGS4 like Forza Motorsport to Grand Turismo, I think
Superdynamite, I think a ps fanboy should be the last person speaking of games not coming out until the next system. Ps3 has been out over a year, and no games….please oh please hit me with drake and unreal, or better yet heavenly sword…idiot. Lets talk little big planets delay maybe
Oh no, not another “xboxHD idiot”. Yeah, cuz MS is gonna replace the 360 with a new machine. Quit being a tool and swallowing every rumor they feed you.
I’m sure they have some game in development to draw attention away from MGS. It won’t work very well though. MGS is way too hyped. And just like MGS2, the masses will devour it even though it may not be a great game.
Black was actually a really good game IMO.
Looks like the Sony defense force is in full swing. They can’t stand the fact that the 360 is abolutely crushing sone in terms of cosole and game sales.
@ vcbldfnldfng
You are right. It is too bad Gran Turismo is really boring. Its strange though that such a boring game sells more copies each installment than Halo does.
GT1, 2, 3 & 4 have shifted 47m units. That’s an average of 11.75m each episode compared to about 6.5m for each Halo game.
It must be really boring lol PGR4 hasn’t even sold 17k in Japan in 3 months while the demo for the new GT5 sold 120k in its first week lol
Gran Turismo is way bigger than any exclusive on the 360.
@fgfgfgfg
You’re right GT does sell alot, but to be fair, thats a little easier when you have an install base of 100-120 million. Think about it, if it sells that many, thats less than 10 percent of PS owners who wanted it. Whereas if halo sells 6 million with a current install base of 15 million, thats 40 percent of the 360 owners who want it. Lets see how well GT5 does when the PS3 has less than 10 million install base. My guess is it will not outsell Halo 3. What do you think?
@Blings. you still using that “ps3 got no games” bs. ps3 has games. it has great games and in my opinion heavenly sword isn’t one of them. played the demo and didn’t like. uncharted on the other hand i thought i was gon hate but loved the demo and still sometimes play the demo. don’t wanna buy it because its got no mp. anyway mgs4 is probably gon be one of the best games ever from what i’ve seen. oh and how can anybody call gran turismo boring? people that play kid games like need for speed might think that but a true racing fan knows you can’t compete with gran turismo.
whenever microbots feels they are loosing they start bashing sony .nowv whoever says ps3 doesnt have good game is i amsoory to say u are wrong.try something else coz ps3 has so many good games and exclusive.remember 360 first year lineup of good game was ummmmm…..
was there any?ok here is the list of good games ressistance,warhawk,ninjagaiden,uncharted,rachet,unreal tou 3,eye of judgement,formula 1,folklore,motorstorm,cod4,rockband,assanis creed,…
these all game got average rating between 8 and 10.just buy ps3 its really worth it and wont break down in a year like my old 360 box.
Well Super Mario Galaxy is an awesome game, and my other favorite this year was The Orange Box.
GT is the most realistic racing game! why should i play a half realistic crap game when i have the ultimative racing game?
@quicksilver
wow u need to go back and take a course in statistics. first of all fgfgfgfg was talking about first week sales of GT5 prologue while you were talking about overall halo 3 sales so obviously thats not a fair comparison. plus by the time the real GT5 gets released, theres gonna be a much larger (possibly larger or equal to 360) fanbase and the japanese as well as a good amount of americans who will buy the game. finally the gaming world doesn’t revolve around halo 3 either, you’re stupid if you think that every studio compares their game to halo, its mediocre, unoriginal, and generic.
going back to the actual story, like someone above me said, ever developer or M$ employee is going to say that the game will blow people away and has much better graphics than anything ps3 or 360 owners have ever seen. gimme a break, that’s the line we gamers are fed with the most these days. plus its not like sony has revealed all the cards in their hand, im sure they have plenty of games in the works that will easily take on this M$ “mgs-killer (WTF?)”. its good for microsoft that there actually working on a new ip instead of more halo spinoffs but i think by the time the game comes out, its gonna be too little, too late
U WILL NEVER BEAT METAL GEAR AND SNAKE..NOT MATTER WHAT IS RELEASED!!!!!!
THe first Halo was fairly origional, sure it had been done before, but the story was good and it was a fps on a console. Firther itereations of Halo got a bit repetative, but the did set a standard for what I expect on online play, along with some other impressive features in Halo 3 (Forge, gameplay videos). Back in my PS days I played MGS1 and LOVED it, still one of my favorites and the new one looks awesome.
But can’t we all just get along? When it comes down to it, we are all just slaves to Microsontendo anyways… We sit around and argue and hype games so that we and other people that listen to us go out and buy games. So who really cares, MS has a good game come out, Sony has a good game come out, then Nintendo. There are awesome developers on all consoles, and just play games because they are good, if you hate Sony for some unexplained reason, when MSG4 comes out go over to your friends house that has a PS3 and play it. Play a game because it is good and fun, not because it is going to crush the competitor’s game.
MGS teritory shouldnt be treaded on. they can try to take over but do they realise how much effort goes into blending the right amount of comedy with seriousness. look at MGS3 one of the most epic plots in gaming history combined with snake vs monkey mode. you can play the whole game in a mokey mask. it sounds dumb but its genious! MS, Sony and nintendo together couldnt beat MGS on its home turf graphics or not!
A METAL GEAR KIND GAME FOR THE XBOX 360??? Wow thjs js great news!!
well… That means that many gamers will be compelled to buy the Xbox 360. I dont like micro$oft that much, but they are using sony’s tactics of making great software for their consoles… Lets hope M$ comes up with an announcement soon 
To whoever said that when GT5 would be released that the PS3 would have the same install base as the 360:
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
If the 360 stopped selling completely right now, it would take the Ps3 until 2010, selling 300 K units a month, to catch up.
Being a PC gamer, i am glad to hear this… A game similar to the metal gear on the x360 means that it will sooner or later come on the pc… Games like gears of war and bioshock came on the xbox 360 as well as the pc…so this game is bound to come to the pc platform
What do you all feel? It should come on the pc..right?????
This is interesting. Its hard to tell how credible this is as theres really no underlying evidence. Sure they could be, but maybe they dont show concern for Metal Gear because they dont want to touch on the fact its gonna be nasty, and they cant get it on 360. What else would they do? talk about the game they cant have?
As for their secret game, idk about the graphics being better than FFXIII or Killzone 2. I guess we’ll see.
The BS3 is the biggest flop of Sony’s career. I think worst than Beta. Unlike Beta, it’s because it’s an inferior product. You know the saying, once your fault, twice mine. Sony fooled fans with PS2 but fans woke up by the time ps3 came out. No one likes being lied to, especially when it comes to spending $500 on a system. Sony’s been hyping up playstation capabilities since the millenium rolled around. You can’t put up fake footage and make exaggerations without backing up the talk. I’m surprised ps3 loyalist are so quick to forget E3 2005 and all the lies. The visual and verbal lies. Remember all that great footage?! I haven’t seen a game that comes close to any of that footage and I mean close! Remember all that 2 screen connectability crap and backward compatibility crap?! Remember? They put out all these great spec numbers for the cell processor similar to how they hyped up the emotion processor in the ps2. I was paying attention. I saw how inferior the ps2 was to the Dreamcast and Xbox and I knew this time around, I was definitely going to wait and see. I’ve seen enough, I’m an Xbox Elite owner playing awesome games like Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed, COD4, Halo3 and so on. And guess what?! These games look way better than any footage Microsoft put out in E3 2005. MS surpassed expectations and Sony didn’t back up their talk.
@Bosster4daPC:
I agree… there is a big possibility that this metal gear game that is being developed will definetily come on the PC. I am a pc gamer too, though I have a Wii also. But it would be wicked to have this game on the PC.
Listen up anti-sony fanboys…because you’re the most misinformed losers out there…sry to tell ya boys.
The PS3 is not a flop..unless you count >9million units sold within one year a “flop”, its outselling xbox360 in both Europe & Japan on a weekly basis, as well WorldWide on a weekly basis. PS3 has outstanding 1st year exclusives, Ratchet, HeavenlySword ,Uncharted, Resistance, MotorStorm, Warhawk, and even include Lair (because its first party and the graphics are ridiculiously amazing..gameplay not so much). ..If you can’t admit that these games are great exclusives then you need your head examined. Need to appreciate the software…not hate on a company because their successful…
Packed with every 3rd party titles from Spiderman3 – CoD4, the PS3 has had more 1st party titles in it’s first year of release than any other system to date…EVER.
If you dont know what your talking about…just sit there and shuttup, unless you want someone like me beating you into the ground lol.
In the end…it seems that m$ is trying to play catch-up with Sony..they cant seem to produce the same amount of hype of success as Sony garners for it’s consoles, so they attempt to throw propaganda like this at gamers. ..”mystery” title, yeh alright…we’ll see how it fares as Vaporware lol.
If, by boring, you mean that the Gran Turismo series have sold a combined total of 54 million copies. Then I guess, it’s one of the most successful boring games of all time. What does that say for the Halo franchise? Have they hit 54 million? Nope.
MGS4+Online, aren’t coming to the Xbox, ya’ll can stroke yourselves as much as you want, and MS can feed the fires all they want. But the CREATOR of the MGS series, has already SPECIFICALLY stated that this game is a PS3 exclusive, and the last of the exclusives. There is no room for maneuvering verbally here. Get over it.
Morne
xbox 360
yr 1 dead or alive 4, lost planet, gears of war, blue dragon, condamed, fear, rainbow 6, ghost recon advanced warfighter 1 and 2
yr 2 halo 3, mass effect, lost odyssey, trusty bell, virtua fighter 5 (vesion c with better textures), bioshock, ace combat 6, just too name a few.. the list goes on and on..
all these games kick ass
ihave a ps3 and the only good game i own is uncharted wich is far to short…
ps3 has a long way to go…. and i am not impressed with the video tech demo i saw of metal gear solid 4…. mass effect blows it away graphicaly….not sure about the story yet i have to wait and see
MS doesnt have as much hype as sony? ok, what was all that hype over halo3? There was so much it made me sick. Granted, it wasnt warrented, but no game can live up to the hype halo 3 got. I hated the original xbox, it had such a small library of games compared to the ps2, which is still probably my favorite game system. I have a 360 now. I appreciate MS took a lesson from Sony and is building a strong game library. if anything sony fans should respect that other companies are following suit behind this industry innovator. Now Sony has to suck up its pride and take a lesson from other companies as well. create an online system as solid as xbox live and they could probably crush any competition, but until then, Ill hold off on the ps3 for another year.
@lo…alright then
I think you’re taking Sony’s year to the other extreme… The PS3 is going to be successful and it has some incredible exclusives coming up BUT it’s first year has been decent at best (as was the 360s).
R & C – graphically beautiful but you’ve basically played this game if you’ve already played the games for the PS2 (which I have). It does have some Sixaxis stuff thrown in but it’s not going to blow anyone’s mind. Unless you’ve never played an R & C before this game gets fairly boring.
Uncharted – beautiful graphics and nice cinematics but the gameplay is sort of a mix of Tomb Raider + Gears of War that works somewhat well but failed to grab me personally.
Resistance is a fun game but there are dozens of superior FPSs (IMO of course) on the 360.
Spiderman 3? Really?
Also, game sales (at least in the US) have been unimpressive. You wonder how many people bought PS3s to act as a Blu Ray player.
The PS3 MAY outsell the 360 in the long run but they have some work ahead of them.
lmao at jay……the video tech didnt impress u? wow. those are some of the best graphics i have ever seen. i love these people that come on the forums and act like they have both systems only to bash one or the other (aka jay with the uncharted shit). i on the other hand do have both. mgs4 looks amazing. halo 3 is one of the best online shooters i have ever played (resistance fall of man is my favorite). xbox is superior in every way to playstation network (except for that money part, which is worth it). Gran Turismo is the KING of all racing games, bar none. gears of war has the best graphics of any game so far. playstation does have many good games, some not exclusives. who the fuck cares about all of this? i dont, cuz i have BOTH!
i got the ps3 day 1.
yes mgs4 doesnt impress me graphicaly
i live in thailand and i own the ps2, xbox360 and ps3 … my favorite game is shenmue (still waiting for shenmue 3)
and for me the ps3 was abig waist of cash.. its not as impressive as you make it out to be..i am not a racing fan i am a fan of rpgs and fps games…and so far the only game that impressed me for ps3 is uncharted… ..
my ps2 library 200 pluss games iv completed 60% of them
my ps3 library is 13 games to date
my xbox 360 library is 28 games… just got lost odyssey..its good..
and i also enjoyed genji 2.. but only because i liked the story
lmao mornolith, first off, the creator of mgs is not the owner of the franchise, it is owned by the company that he works for, therefore, if the company decided to make the game for the 360 in the future, HE HAS NO SAY, he is a employee and will do what he is told. I personallly loved the first gran turismo, but when they pulled that crap with gt2 i was really pissed, all they did was make the exact same game, same tracks, better graphics and called it a sequel. Just plain stupid. Yes ps3 has a couple of good exclusives, but thats it. I have uncharted, resistence, and heavenly sword. All great games I think, but the problem there is all together thats about 20 hours of gaming, excluding online for resistence. That is not much game time, while ther are many other games on ps3, they are also on the 360, and so far over 90% of those games are better on the 360. So do the math, my friend, I got well over 1000 hours on my 360, or should i say my 4th 360, all fixed for free. and well my ps3 has about 40 hours of game time on it, 20 of those hours are movies, so the poor machine dont get too much dust on it. I like both systems for the most part, I dont like the mostion sensing crap whatsoever, and I dont like the fact that my 360 has died 3 times, but it has been fixed for free each time, and still another year of warrant. While I do believe the ps3 will catch up in the next few years, It will in no way be the king of the hill. I think the 360 and ps3 will be closely tied by the end of this generation, and the nintendo wii will finally be a stupid gimmic that died faster than any system ever. I know a lot of people that have a wii, including me, and only one of them plays the thing at least once a month. I got mine last year, and have not touched it in 6 months. It is a joke, and in the future most of you will realize it too. So get ready for a great year in 08, ps3 will finally have a great game for the mgs fans,(of witch I am not, I liked the first but thats it) and the 360 will have more great games for all the fanboys to brag about and cry about. And the ps3 will have at least mgs. As that is the only game i see for 2008 that is ps3 exclusive, everything else will be on the 360. So quit crying like a bunch of babys cause someone dont like the system you like, Would you kick your friends ass for eating a big mac when you think a whopper is better?we all have diff. tastes, and for us hard core gamers that have all the systems, we are the only ones that are going to be happy. as we get to play both sonys and microsofts best. Peace out and just for a spark, gears2 will own mgs in 2008 just wait and see, you saw it here first.
@Kugar
“wow u need to go back and take a course in statistics. first of all fgfgfgfg was talking about first week sales”
Oh, was he really? Maybe you should learn to read before you worry about statistics. For example:
FGGGG said, “GT1, 2, 3 & 4 GT1, 2, 3 & 4 have shifted 47m units. That’s an average of 11.75m each episode, compared to about 6.5m for each Halo game.”
Sorry but that doesn’t look like “first week sales” to me. Wake up before you post please. kthnx
better graphics than the ps3 eh?
suppose the campain mode will only be 30min long then
no wait silly me the multiplayer will exuse it
Thats funny that you think that the only good game on ps3 is uncharted, Jay. But you mention a bunch of third party games for the 360. I can name of alot of sweet PS3 games. Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, NInja Gaiden, Motorstorm, Rock Band, Foklore, and Ratchet and Clank etc… And thats only in year 1 of P33.
haha, you gotta be kidding me. If anything it will probably be the older Metal Gears on xbox live arcade.
jesus christ lol…
All I have to say is it would be too bad if MGS 4 is PS3 only, I’d like to see those guys make some money. It would be very hard to make back the money with so few PS3′s out there. 12 Fanboys are not going to pay the bills.
@fishy1
I gave up on my 360 after the 3rd one. I don’t care if MS is fixing them for free, that’s BS! What a piece of crap. First one lasted me 6 months, the 2nd time 9 months, then the 3rd time 7 months. After the 3rd one I said to hell with you M$. I figured the issue would have been fixed after the 2nd one, but nope. I’ve had nor has anyone that I know had any issues with the PS3. This thing was built to last just as it’s last two consoles were. Gears of War 2 in 2008??? Are you kidding me? I’m thinking more like 2009-2010. Just as the first Gears, I think Epic will take there time with this one. I remember Gears 1 was set as a launch title, then was pushed back a year. I’ll admit that Gears is a huge title, but I think you’re fogetting about the huge Metal Gear fan base thats out there. I’m pretty sure a lot of 360 owners will buy a PS3 just for this title and those who still own a ps2 will go next gen with a PS3 during this release as well.
just one thing : Hideo Kojima is far from being a mere employee ! He is a producer (you know, his studios is even called “Kojima Production”) and a top game designer, one of the most famous in the world… He obviously has something to say when it comes to the future of his game…
Anyway, he might agree for a 360 version or is opinion might not be important enough… but saying “he has nothing to say” doesn’t make sense
i want this game to be 3rd person – and yes, microsoft should really push X360 to its very limits and make somethng better than MGS4: it is possible, and a bold way! go microsoft, go xbox 360, go developers!!!
I laugh at the microbot xbot fangirls hoping that mgs whore comes to their system. Why? If you want mgs4 then buy a PS3! Likewise if I want to play sHalo Me, I would buy a 3 shitty!
Hey xbox 360 fanbase! We’ve got a game that will be the best graphically over any PS3 ever made or being made, Halo 3 640 lines of internal resolution upscaled to 720(p) cough, cough! If Bungie can’t do it, nobody can!
Gran Turismo is SH!T!
Forza is WAY better! And i have a PS3 (and a 369, obviously).
I don´t like MGS… Only the PSX game was great, the other ones are totally overrated.
And i´m not excited with this “MGS4 killer”.
Oh, and let´s be honest: The MGS4 graphics are REALLY bad!
It´s not even close of Resident Evil 5, Huxley or others great titles of 2008.
lol@as brilliant as Metal Gear. it’s got no chance.
The reasons to be a PS3 fan:
I simply want to play games absolutely whenever I want. And I would hate to send a console around for repairs half the time. If the xbox could guarantee that with quality hardware, it would be OK to have good games staying exclusive on it.
If the Wii could render next-gen eye-candy, or have more than 2 good games (everything else is crap), or its games costed as much as they really should ($15) – I’d get a Wii.
If the PS3 didn’t cost 600 Euro ($1000) instead of $600 here in Europe in the first 6 months, I would have bought a copy back in May.
Now do you understand why we are Sony “fanboys” ??! Beside those hardware-related reasons, the PS3 brings quality games; in greater numbers and quality, on top of it. Beating the competition in both fields, while having only one slightly inferior part (the GPU) to the xbox360… how can you not open your eyes? How can there still be xbox360 fans? Ah yes, America apparently is a third-world country, for balking at 40% lower prices (on hardware and games) and its citizens cannot afford a second console, so they try desperately to keep their hopes of a better future with their investition into xbox alive.
Open your eyes, the xbox360 is gradually dying, and Microsoft won’t give you a 45nm version (that doesn’t break) for free, or any soon.
It’s good to have competition, but investing into a time-bomb is not good, especially when it is sure a time will come when you cannot play your games.
Aside from that, it’s really doubtful that a company under Microsoft can develop something better than MGS. Keep playing your one half-decent exclusive game, as there’s a time-limit.
SommerX,
Hehe,you’re one little delusional Sont droid aren’t ya.
You sound very scared of the 360 by that bs statement you made considering reliebility issues.
They’ve been fixed punk,so find some new material ya Sony lowlife.
@xbox360 fanboys
A game graphically SUPERIOR to FFXIII if on the x360 (DVD disc) will be a crap game. It simply would not fit, the only way anything might fit is by compression, and compression of renders makes that game’s graphics noticeably worse……
so either it is going to be AMAZING 8.5 GB of uncompressed graphics with like 0 GB of sound and no multiplay with like a 30 minute campaign…..
or it will have good graphics, decent sound (compressed) and a short campaign and decent amount of multiplayer content
The second case is basically Gears of War…..which used up slightly less than 95% of the DVD. not much can be fit into that 5%.
It has been speculated that storage space on disc has been the only reason MGS4 is not going to Xbox 360, and the speculation was probably true.
i’m a ps3 owner and i think that sony is gay becouse of its bullshit all that sony is doing is trying to win in the blu-ray war against hd there whole idea in the ps3 was the blu-ray shit they never thought about the games unlike 360 it got all the great games i wouldn’t dout if mgs4 would go to 360 like gta did sony. yeah sony does have some good games coming in 2008 but it still won’t live up to the 360
Graphics aren’t everything. Sure I could design a game with amazing graphics and have the “player” push buttons everyonce and a while (think those crazy scenes in Heavenly Sword) but that wouldnt be very fun to play. Gameplay trumps graphics every time. New innovative, improved old, or basically amazing gameplay will sell more games than any graphical powerhouse of a game. Sure graphics help immerse the gamer in the experience, but proper gameplay mechanics does the job, graphics suppliment the mechanics. I recently re-purchased MGS on PS1 just to play it on my PS3. That game looks like shit on 56″ of 1080p DLP glory, but the gameplay is worth going back to.
The best game for 360 in the first year was Halo 2. People didnt really start buying gears until 2007. Anyways, For XBOX 360 Halo 3 was a console mover. People originally bought the system cause “halo 3 is eventually coming out” on it. When it did, people bought the game. People also bought the console soley for the game, waited till the game was released and bought both on the same day.
Which brings me to me next point, millions of people (yes i said millions) will buy a PS3 for MGS and FFXIII. I predict over 7M worldwide sales launch week for MGS4, half of which will happen launch day. MGS4 is the most promising FPS/3rdPS of 2008. The game offers the user experience either first or third person. How brilliant is that? Microsoft cant decide and Kojima decides to have both, utter genius. Kojima is the single greatest game developer of our time. No shooter is more original than the MGS series. No game offers more replay value than the MGS series. The PS3 will sell over 1M systems launch day because of this game.
So please, Microsoft no one is going to buy into your propaganda 2 years from now when we are still playing MGS4 and FFXII on our (first) PS3.
The only reason people say MGS4 should go mulitplatform is cause they themselves want to buy it, but they dont want to admit the the PS3 is at least just as good as the 360. If MGS4 comes out on 360 itll be so late it doesnt matter. So buy the console you want to get the experience you want. If you want a fullHD cell powered with amazing raw horsepower with only now emerging instant classics (not to mention it plays BDs) buy a PS3. If you want a “consumer chosen” (aka add-ons galore) halo 3 player buy a 360. (360 does have good games and a better on-line experience, as you can tell be the software sale people bought the 360 to play halo 3, no denying that, they just happened to buy some titles inbetween. People got cought up in the my systems better and are refusing to buy PS3s)
First of all this ij still a rumor. Second of all MGS has grown “powerful” over almost 10 years now. The first game was released 1998 and all of the MGS games has gotten good critics, MGS4 will be no exception. Do you guys honestly think that a MGS copy will lure people away from MGS4? MS can try all they want but Snake is not just a character but he is almost like a real person you can refer too…(no im not high on crack
). There is noway on earth anyone can come close to Kojima. Its impossible.
I hope ms has more than just 1 new game cooking up, in case this rumor is true make it 3rd person. fuk ps3 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! There are still people arguing about 360 vs PS3? Shouldn’t you guys spend more time playing your respective systems and let SONY and MS deal with all that mess?
hideo kojima having no influence on what konami does? pah if it wasnt for him konami would’ve crapped down mgs4 so i toculd be released on the 360. its not bs that im talking here, konami actually considered releasing mgs4 on the 360 but kojima put an end to that stating that it wasnt possible without seriously crapping the game up. mgs4 will pwn so much i cant wait its gonna piss all over halo 3
btw: gt is not boring, its just too realistic for some casual race fans too handle
I think it’s interesting that people list all of these “great” games for sony, and say look at their first year lineup. I don’t remember the exact launch date of the PS3 but it was fall of last year. So the “great” titles that came out this fall are not year ONE sony titles. They are year TWO sony titles. I’ll grant you they are early into year two but they are year two.
So lets look at year TWO MS titles. Oblivion, Halo3, COD4, Crackdown, FORZA2, Blue Dragon, PGR 4, Bioshock, Assasins Creed, oh and Gears? released first year.
To put out a comparible line up for the middle of year two Sony needs a killer FPS, MGS, Grand Torisumo 5, Final Fantasy. If they can release these titles by say June/July 08, not 09, they will be keeping up with the production schedule of the Xbox 360 in terms of killer game releases at about the same time into the console life cycle.
So over under on 4 killer titles for Sony by July of 08? and no you can’t count GTA. My guess is sony will be lucky to deliver one by this summer.
And some developers have said that the PS3 will always be behind the Xbox because it came out later. Developrs are onto gen 3 games with 360 while ps3 is just releasing gen 2 games. If you don’t believe that is true look at Bloodwake for the PS2 compared to GOW for the PS2. The developers get better and better throughout the console lifecycle. PS3 developers are chasing xbox developers.
Why doesn’t everyone stop being tools and and purchase all systems? (of course that’s putting the money issue aside
Like any of the gaming companies really give a hoot about the gamer anyway. But having all three systems, for my needs the Xbox 360 is definately the best choice. PS3 has some good games, Heavenly Sword and Drake are extremely fun but the rest I can get for the 360 (and most actually run better on 360) plus a heck of a lot more exclusives and the best online service to date.
No offense, but MS does a great job coming up with amazing new franchises: Halo, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Forza, MechAssault, Crimson Skies, etc., etc.. When they say they are going to do something they usually do it (let’s all just forget about Rare…LOL). Also, just a correction: PGR was never meant to be a Gran Turismo whoever says so either hasn’t played the game or is just plain stupid. PGR started as Metropolis Street Racer on the DC and was later ported to the Xbox and 360. Forza is MS’s attempt at challenging GT and personally I enjoy Forza a heck of a lot better. Sure the graphics aren’t as good but the fun factor, customization, and online auctions make it a superior title in my book.
So far, MS has lived up to the hype of their announced mega games. One thing is for sure, it SHOULD have better online options than MGS4. Seriously, why is everyone so threatened by another MGS-type game? It will only make MGS/new game better through competition in the long run.
Even if the 360 get a game that look better in every way, it won’t be THE Metal Gear, I mean I’ve followed this series since I was a child and I want to know the end, that’s the real difference.
I still hope that MGS4 comes to the 360, because Snake as Kojima are unique.
Nothing can beat the original! Hideo Kojima rocks!
this game is a piece of shit, how can they say is going to be like metal gear and better.hideo kojima it´s a god of videogames.and snake rules the world of tactical espies,no game can stand beside MGS.
I think they are talking about Rogue Warrior featuring Richard Marcinko based on the book Rogue Warrior. Everything in that article matches up with Rogue Warrior. And Bethesda is going to do a major press release about Rogue Warrior in Feb.
Rogue Warrior is all about stealth, the storyline is based in the future with reference to recent political news, and the game is said to have the current ability to play in 3rd person or 1st person. A guy at Zombie Studios told me a couple months back that they pushed the game back because they couldnt decide on a few things for the game. They also told me bandwidth was a big issue. Maybe having both 1st/3rd is what they are trying to stay away from due to bandwidth. Also the amount of stealth Rogue Warrior is supposed to have is supposed to be superior to anything Splinter Cell or Metal Gear have to offer.
A little bird also told me that the current state of Rogue Warrior is amazing enough to have even the people of Microsoft impressed.
Be on the look out for the Feb. major press announcements/promotions. Rogue Warrior is going to blow all stealth shooters out of the water.
This is a pretty cool news. Whatever good games they do, I just buy and play. I won’t side on which one. If PS3 has a better looking game than xbox360, good for you. I mean, so what? I own a xbox360 and I also give respect to the PS3.
Anyway, let’s hope this game won’t turn up to be another Vampire Rain
Wow…guys whoever thinks that dumbass microsoft can actually accomplish such a masterpiece that defeats Hideo Kojima’s work, I can’t tell you how much of a retard you are. What makes you think it can defeat it? PGR tried to defeat Gran Turismo but it failed. Blue Dragon tried to defeat Final Fantasy but it just died. Now this?! It will get murdered, which is what I really want to see. When will Microsoft learn to stop copying others. “Hey Apple created an mp3 player called iPod, it’s selling millions, LET’S CREATE THE ZUNE!!”. “Hey Sony created a game console called playstation, let’s make one too and call ours the xbox!” “Hey Final Fantasy is a real hit, let’s make another RPG THAT WILL TERMINATE IT and let’s call it BLUE DRAGON” – you get the picture. Microsoft needs to start innovating and actually change the gaming industry if it wants to be a part of it. If it just tries to copy others and tries to put others out of business then screw them. They would just be slowing down the market. If you think the xbox 360 was an innovation – it wasn’t. It’s just like the ps2 except with a faster pcu and a better graphics chip. Also it’s a machine that can scratch disks, overheat, and gets RROD every 2 hours – wow really really innovative.
Sony FTW!
MGS FTW!
Final Fantasy FTW!
M$ & Xbox – I hope you just crash and burn
why do people keep saying the Assassin’s Creed graphics are great? after playing Uncharted they are so bad. the shadowing is terrible and the character models and textures are just plain bad. i like the game. im playing through it at the moment and loving it (apart from the eight phrases i hear over and over)
MGS graphics are much better. if you watch the 15 min gameplay demo uncompressed (its hard to find, i recomend the PSN of a friend if you havent got a PS3) the background modeling is far more detailed ant the character models are flawless. the shadows needed work last i saw of them but the graphics blow assassins creed out of the water
Also, saying a preliminary demo will be better than MGS when the gameplay hasent even been finalised is a poor move. this could end up being any unanounced title. besides its not the politics that make MGS its the way they are presented in the story. I hate politics and love MGS
No game can chalenge MGS at what MGS does
Xbox 360 is still rocking right now. I’m a big MGS fan and I’ll defenitely buy PS3 after the release of MGS4 and sell out my X360.
Lol. Fanboys.
…I Have No Time For Them.
Accept it, PS3 owners; your console isn’t all that brilliant.
And, for fellow XBOX 360 owners,
Why is it that PS3 owners go on about their console being so much better?
It really isn’t.
OK, you have Blu-Ray, but modern compression methods make it easy enough to get a PS3 game, like MGS, onto an XBOX. The fact is that the hardware does not differ too much in graphical output.
Not many Developers think that PS3 is good to Dev for either, 360 is easier to make games for.
It’s always a matter of opinion.
HAHAHAHA. Keep dreaming M$, HAHAHAHA. Keep dreaming!
has everyone forgot that there having enough bother fiting the game on a 50GB blueray, how are they going to fit it on a 8.5GB DVD
PS3s are crap! GO XBOX 360 AND RORY YEAAAAAAH!
