"(a Halo nod, perhaps?)."
Lol. Yes because halo invented player launching devices in multiplayer games.
I hear halo also invented the shotgun and sliced bread.
/sigh.

I'm confused. Is the online component to Metal Gear Solid 4 sold separately? No, can't be. That doesn't make since. Or maybe they're just totally different games. Like one game for online, and one game for single player. No that can't be it, if that were it, why would Splinter Cell come packed as one game. This is real confusing.*

Looks like MGS|O is going to be an expansion pack for MGS4 rather than a standalone game ala Warhawk.

Probably wouldn't fit on the disc. Sony should have delayed the PS3 a couple of years and used a 200Gb 8 layer disc once the tech became available.
Seriously though, I think Konami may have found a way to release this big budget title to a less than stellar userbase while still earning a profit. I am very curious how much they tax you for the online component and whether or not it is shooterish or Splinter Cellish or something different.

Hey, two completely different games with completely different development cycles. Awesome comparison.

what? why split it up and make us pay twice?? oh i guess it can't all fit on blu-ray right?.....

I guess by releasing it as a seperate game, it's not tied to ps3 as an exclusive like MGS4 is, so don't be surprised to see MGO on the 360.

Are 360 owners forgetting that they pay $60 a year for the privilege of playing online multiplayer... without that Gold account, Halo3 would just be a generic SciFi shooter.

LIVE (Gold) shouldn't cost money, there's too much advertising and plenty of purchasable items that can carry the costs. There are still multitudes of annoying kids on LIVE despite the $50 cost, so that's not a valid reason either. The pay model exists because we have shown we will pay - it has been worth it, but I'm thinking Microsoft will eliminate the fee by the end of next year.
After playing Warhawk for a few weeks, I see that PS3/Live function-parity could be only a few software updates away if Sony stays on the case. I'm not saying it's happening, I'm only saying it's POSSIBLE.

Wow...people are still dragging out this old "argument"? Give it a rest already. And as far as I know, you can still get a Live subscription card for $39 at Circuit City. It still beats whatever price Sony decides to dish out currently for whatever ridiculous new version of the PS3 they magically pull out of their butts. But have fun while you keep waiting for the games. I'm sure MGS4 will wind up being a disappointment like all the other supposed sure things released so far on the PS3.

Maybe the trolls are the people that mention Halo 3 on every PS3 article. Let's get more info on the game before we jump to conclusions.

Honestly though, I don't even care about MGS.. It could come to the Wii in some shape or form and I wouldn't be shocked. If I wanted a game chock full 'o cut scenes, I'd watch a MOVIE.
Really, MGS has been taking a dive because of that.. Splinter cell is a much better game. Granted, there are way cooler characters in MGS, but you get more immersed in Splinter Cell and its movements are more Fluid than MGS "move-like-my-hips-broke-because-i'm-using-the-d-pad"
Real talk, if it were to come to the 360 I still wouldn't buy it.. My money is on Splinter Cell.

This is to my fellow 360 owners/fanboys...
What do you expect when probably over 50% of the game is going to be CGI animations/movies. Despite all this propping of bluray and the more space issue by ps3fanboy its pretty clear that theres just not much of an advantage if they're not going to put Online and the Game together.
I can't wait for Halo 3...the anticipation is just ridiculous. And the commercials are really starting to get to me.

mmm...Reasons:
1st, Different Developers
2nd, Different Gameplay
3rd, ...The game is supposed to be huge (READ: SUPPOSED TO)
Next time do a little more research (as for Reason 1 and 2), it makes you look dumb =)

I am a 360 fanboy in the sense that I much, much prefer the current games on that system as well as this Fall's coming games. It really isn't even remotely close.
Come next year, though, my 360 fanboy ass will buy a $400 PS3 and MGS4 will be one of the biggest reasons. The games are always pretty good.
With that said, it really annoys me that they are charging extra for online. It had damn well better be a full online experience much different from the single player such that it justifies the extra cost.
And yes, MGS games use too many damn cutscenes. But they are pretty good so I'm down with it.

Y'know, its funny.. Spending Thousands to hook up your "PC" to play games. You don't find anything wrong with that? I remember when Half Life2 first came out and how many people had to "Upgrade" their PC's... LOL, wow.
Buying all 3 consoles with games and controllers for the cost of upgrading your PC to play one game...

i thought MGS4 and MG0 were both different games... i thought that was common knowledge as they have em both announced. I really dont see the problem... nor the reason for halo references.

Actually I did own all systems. That was till my 360 died on me for the second time. I will no longer support M$ and it's poor quality product. I don't see why ppl insist on going back for more after they get punched in the face by M$. Surely it's not the games cause I never purchased one game for my 360. I don't like halo and GOW will look much better on my PC. Didn't want to ruin the the game by play a half finished product.

There is no good reason why any PS3 game should require more than one disc. If the developers still can't fit one game on one disc, what is the point of Blu-Ray, exactly?
Especially since multiplayer should contain zero prerendered cutscenes, and a minimal quantity of uniqque textures.

So instead of just "returning" your system back like any other person with a brain, you just give up and jump ship...
Sounds like that Sony propaganda.
I cant see why suckas insist on going back for more after they get punched in the face by Sony is more like it.
You sound stupid.. go Punch yourself... I bet you'll do it if sony asked you too, huh??

Why would I want to get another broken system? Plus like I said before i'm more of a PC gamer so stop your xbot trolling and go play your 360 like all the other NOOBS.

Jesus your ignorance is outstanding.
They spent 1 billion to fix RRoD, it was in the news, WHAT do you think it's being spent on? Putting new heat sinks and fixing the problem.
But sure keep your broken 360 like a noob instead of getting a fully functional one and at least E-bay it if you hate it so much.
Your post REEKS of false accusations with the intention of spreading FUD, or you are a retard. It is much better keeping a broken 360 around the house than sending it in for repairs for free if we are to believe your bullshit.
As I said, PC gaming ain't got SHIT on console gaming, everybody knows this. Gears already looks awesome on the 360, if you think that seeing it like that is ruining the game then you are just stupid. List me 3 good recent PC exclusives that aren't shooters, MMORPG or RTS, and I'll give you a big fat cookie.

How is someone who plays on a console rather than a PC a noob? By your logic, people who played the Atari 2600 years ago were noobs because they weren't playing shitty text games on a PC that no one even owned at the time.
