MGS4 Xbox 360 Rumor Rides AgainAuthor: Pete Haas

In case you were worried there wouldn't be anything to bitch/gloat about today on your gaming forum, here's something: Konami is exploring the idea of putting Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the PS3 exclusive, on Xbox 360.
Calm down, they're really only "exploring" here. According to IGN, an Tokyo Game Show report by an investment firm contained the following quote from a Konami PR representative: "We're actively looking into a release for the Xbox 360." Not exactly ironclad but hey, Internet rumors don't require much soil. Still, how would this work? This rumor about MGS4 coming to the 360 has been around for awhile now and it's been noted over and over that, absent some sort of technological wizardry, you'd need to put the game on multiple DVDs. A Blu-Ray disc has something like six times the storage capacity of a DVD. They'd have the ship the game in a goddamn lunchbox. Hideo Kojima doesn't seem all that eager to get back on the Metal Gear horse, either. Still, in spite of these issues, this is enough to keep the rumor chugging along. Enjoy your Xbox 360/PS3 flame wars. |
