John Schappert, the corporate vice-president of Xbox Live, has said that he would love to see Metal Gear Solid 4 come to the Xbox 360 and that it definitely has the power to run MGS4. Sony had "There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren’t on PS3. We’ve got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power." said Schappert.

....but the full potential will arrive in a year or two

Ah yes, the old "potential" chestnut. We are still waiting for devs to "unlock the power of the Cell". 2010 is the year of the PS3.

JUST YOU WAIT, unbelievers! :mad:

It would be a dumb idea to port it to xbox 260 as more people owns 360. Plus, xbox 260 lacks the power to run MGS4 so it will be a huge let down.

Me too. Xbox 360 is a complete circle which I hate. Need something less circular. :D

Wow if the xbox 260 has the power to run MGS4, just think how much more power the Xbox 360 must have :eek::eek:

The power to handle MGS4 has never been the issue it's been the storage limitations.

Can we stop all this MGS4 rumour mill please, unless it's officially announced most of us don't give a rats arse.

xbox 260 hardware is good for halo3's 640p resolutions & lower anything above this is asking for trouble serious trouble especially if its action game.

I know it's only rumoured and there's a lot of talk about it but I think it would be amazing if it came out for the XBOX

10: Xbox defender always say this game has too much cutscene and that its a crappy over-rated game, so why do you want it on your console anyway now?

Trust me...they do want it, just like LBP, but since they won't get it, they'll just bash it.

This is the fourth or fifth time that I read news on this matter.

I don't belive that 360 has the power to run Mgs4...anyway..360 don't have enough space on Dvd-Dl...maybe a multple-dvd...

But these are only bullsh*t...Mgs4 or other Metal Gear never see the light on 360.

Could we stop hearing about this bs rumor, sure ms has the money to buy it, but I don't think that will happen, considering Kojima favors all sony.

Plain and simple if you want MGS4, get a ps3.

And yes that 260 is going to be freakin sweet!

they cant believe that this game is eclusive, like MGS1 and MGS3

they want to get is just to boost their sales
like they did with FF13

they might know that the ps3is a lot better than the xbox "260" but the full potential will arrive in a year or two

Um, MGS1 was remake to the Gamecube and, money talks it doesn't matter anything else, and MS has enough to even buy Konami (too bad other than ZOE, MGS and Castlevania, there isn't too much in Konami :o)

Thanx for the update.

I really think that MGS4 is 1 big viral marketing campaign.
It keeps coming back in the news every month, and every time it's denied by Konami which states that MGS4 is a PS3-exclusive.
And now even MicroSoft bites the bait ...

Free marketing for Konami / MGS4 and Sony / PS3, HOORAY !! ;)

With the video card bottleneck too, wooo. Seriously, there isn't enough of a difference to make games on one IMPOSSIBLE on the other. Both systems have advantages over the other.

****, not this **** again, how many times will this go on? by all standards MGS4 is a failure, just as MGS2 was, it's WAAAAAAAAAAY too much cutscenes and not nearly enough gameplay, why does everyone want it to be multiplat so bad? it's not by any means a good example of how great MGS can be.

Of course it does.:rolleyes:

Definitely, compress the audio and the video, fit it on 3-4 DVD9s, and tone down some textures and we'll probably see it on the 360. Now if they can do the OPPOSITE when they port things from the 360 to PS3 that'd be great. (ie. uncompress the audio and video, make sure of a 50GB Blu-ray, and upgrade the graphics, remove the bugs from the original, add content, etc.)

Both consoles have about the same power. One is better at some things while the other is better at other things. THe only major problem for the xbox is storage. The ps3 has blu ray and the cell processor which if fully taped will be faster than the xbox but not by much. The ps3 is a strong gaming platform and so is the xbox. Everyone has personal likes and dislikes and opinions. Some people may say the ps3 was just a trojen hourse for blu rau while others say that it is the greatest console ever made. And then people bash MS for making the xbox. Most people how have a life don't spend their time bashing the ps3 or xbox, but actually talk with a person they actually know.

Alternatively, they could compress the audio and video, fit it on 3-4 DVD9s, increase the texture quality to take advantage of the 360's power, a some quality anti-aliasing and the overall end result will be a better looking game.
