If this is an April Fool's joke, I'm going to stab someone in the aorta.

I could see the new Metal Gear Solid game coming to the Xbox 360 and PC 6 months after the release of the PS3 version. It's not like the MGS series has been and will always be Playstation only. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty which was released on the Xbox and PC too. The third game remained a PS2 exclusive because the market dominance of the Sony console was so enormous it didn't much sense businesswise to make it a cross-platform game, but things are different in this console generation.

Yes. Because rather than contact actual media, Konami decides to fire off an email to a random fansite.

This just in. Bungie's Frank just sent me an email saying Halo 3 is actually going to be released on June 1st.

Come on guys.

When MGS2 was ported from the PS2 to the Xbox, it looked like Bill Gates. Ugly.

Also remember it costs money and resources to port a game. Exclusive games also sell better.

Even though I would love to see it on the 360 it probably won't happen.

Okay, now I'm the first to decry the idea of a random anonymous source as "credible data" but if you listened to one of Major Nelson's recent podcasts, he and his guests go into great detail discussing how Shadowrun will have Windows Live vs. Xbox Live capability. This (IMHO) actually lends credibility to the argument. And the idea of a "timed exclusive" sounds very plausible from a sony loving company such as Konami.

i really hope it comes out on 360, that gives me 1 less reason to buy a ps3, i was going to buy it for dmc, assassnins creed, heavenly sword, unreal, warhawk, mgs4, and final fantasy. Half of those titles are coming to 360, and word is final fantasy will come to 360, along with square enix

You're saying MGS4 will sell more copies if its only released on PS3? Riiight.

"Exclusive games also sell better."

I love this logic behind this statement. :]

Seems like the whole rumor of MGS4 coming to the 360 was because the PS3 install base isn't big enough to make a satisfactory profit...?

Maybe I'm just mistaken.

And yeah, this reeks of April Fools.

Metal Gear Solid will be released for the Xbox 360.

That is NOT a rumor! And it is NOT an April Fool's joke!

And when the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Metal Gear Solid are released, you will see Xbox Live and Windows Live work together, just like you do with Shadowrun.

There's no doubt in my mind that at the cost and hype of this title, it will come to the 360 as well as PS3. The demand is high enough, the revenue can't be missed by any party, and that revenue Konami would gain from simply releasing on PS3 is simply not it's full potential.

It's coming, it's just a matter of when.

p$3 fanboys only WISH this was a joke. Lol just like they were, "sure" that DMC4 and Assasins Creed was going to stay exclusive on their piece of shit machine and it turned out to be false. Can't wait for this to be official. Imagine what will happen if Square Enix follows suit with Final Fantasy going ot Nintendo and Microsoft...total chaos.

I wont comment on the plausibility of MGS4, but to the comment about it being dificult to make a game work on Windows Live and Xbox Live, the whole point of Windows Live is to integrate the PC Gamers with the 360 gamers and to make ports easier...the Windows Live API (Application Programming Interface) is pretty much a direct port of the Xbox Live API to DirectX, so if a game is already coded using the Xbox Live API's, switching to the Windows Live API would probably take a couple of weeks to a month tops worth of time to port...in game development terms, thats nothing. Also, this summer when XNA Pro hits, more 360 games will be released for both PC and 360 being that they can write a single codebase and just recompile for the target platform (being 360 or PC)

I find it humorous whenever someone calls the PS3 a piece of shit after I and many of my friends have had to replace our 360's multiple times from either circle of death or scratching our discs till they don't play. Yep, that sure sounds like a grade A system right there. "laugh out loud"

It's actually common knowledge in the game industry that Metal Gear Solid is in development at Konami for both the Xbox 360 and the PC.

The same can be said for Final Fantasy 13 being in development for both the Xbox 360 and the PC.

We will also see an online version of Tekken for the Xbox 360, just like with Virtua Fighter 5. But in all honesty, the ones I am looking forward to BIGTIME are Dead or Alive 5...and yes, Killer Instinct 3, which IS in development at Rare!

The difference between coding for 360 and pc is small now and most developers iv talked to say they just use (hash)defines to distinguish between 360 and pc code


(bloody mac keyboards dont have a hash key)

If they implement Xbox Live by passing back and forth details on where players are supposed to be, I don't see why two different implementations built around the same details couldn't play against each other. Compatibility between the 360 and PS3 versions is unlikely to pass muster with hardware vendors, but even then it'd take poor programming to make it IMPOSSIBLE to do...
