I'm super pissed at Konami, they could have easily made as much money porting MGS4 to the 360, than to make it “exclusively” for ps3, I don't mind changing discs, it's better than dishing out and extra +350 dollars for one game.

While we have all heard stories that the United States has 200 years worth of coal in reserves, some recent analyses suggest that this estimate is very much overstated, and that coal production may also decline in a few years. ,

I very strongly agree, I am partial to ps3 but I do see from a marketing stand point where that is an intelligent decision. And 360 Owners do deserve some mode to play this game even if it is hard to deliver it should be done it is a great story and regardless of how its told it should be done so.

Naturally, language evolves over time, but it’s always nice to see the history of a word’s creation in its spelling.

And there is a difference between language naturally evolving (with the introduction of new words, or combining existing words through daily conversing) and the conscious decision by a collection of people to change a words spelling to either make it simpler to spell (ie. rumour to rumor, plough to plow) or to change a word’s spelling so as to not offend (ie. titbit to tidbit).

Of course they’re all variants mad, I was only jesting.

A language is a living thing, it changes over the years, a language that doesn’t change is generally considered “dead” seeing British English isn’t a dead Language it must have changed even in the time you have been alive. unless you speak exactly like Geoffrey Chaucer did when he was around, I guess that you are bastardizing the English language as well.

lol lighten up Lad. You don’t know how many times I’m told my spelling is wrong by Americans, when America has been deconstructing the English language for a very long time.

I am disappointed in you P. Steen, If you just said that “rumor” was a variant of the British “rumour” and that both were right depending on what country you received your education. that would have been enough. but, you had to follow in the footsteps of the obviously 13yr old poster and be insulting.

now if he said something like the opposite of width was “heidth”
then he would have deserved a royal @$$ kicking. :P

Go Team America! And the correct spelling is “rumour” – American English just happens to spell it incorrectly. ;)

I think he knows that, Chad. I’m pretty sure he was just trying to support America.

Actually fartnog, our site spans both the US and the UK, each of which spell the word differently.

Patrick just so happens to reside in the UK.

@ps34life

Not to sound rude, but your just WRONG. since Playstation Launch, The MGS series has been ported out of the brand’s systems. Metal gear solid 1 was originally out for Playstation1, years after remade for Nintendo Gamecube as MGS: The Twin Snakes. Metal Gear solid 2 was originally planned for Playstation2, but not too much later from the lauch of the game, it was once again ported to other systems: PC and Xbox to be more precise, in the form of a new ‘edition’ with added content (also release on PS2)

On a different note… The original MGS for PSX came in TWO CDs, and there were not many FMV’s, because almost all scenes were made out of the game’s graphic engine. And furthermore, I believe the voice acting was exclusive on each region, meaning that French voiced MGS had just that language inside the discs, as the English voiced game had only the english dubbing.

XBLA Games usually got enhanced graphics, new interface, and more options… HOW the hell are they going to fit all that content in 350MB? I call this rumoUr (:P) false. And I wish it was true, because I’m a “megahuge” (oooooh yes, I said that) fan of MGS :S

I owned a PS2 and an Xbox, and I enjoyed both equally. I currently own a 360 and have seen no reason to own a PS3. It just doesn’t have the game library to justify the purchase of the console. Lets be honest, in terms of exclusives, all I can think of are:
1. Warhawk
2. Ratchet and Clank
3. I’ll put Resistance on here because I’m sure fanboys will lynch me if I dont, but its laughable that its on here.
4. Drakes/Heavenly Sword. I put them together because neither is long enough to be considered a full game IMO (8 hours or less)
5. MGS4

I have considered purchasing a PS3 for MGS4, but even if i did I think I’d play through it then the PS3 would start collecting dust. Ausbo is right though, I’m almost scared owning one will turn me into a drooling PS3 fanboy retard desperately trying to justify mommy’s waste of a christmas present.

I usually take these rumours with a grain o salt. This one is particulary difficult to believe not because we’re talking about a game that has been ported to numerous consoles but for the mere fact that – for anyone with a bit of common sense – Metal Gear Solid 1 on XboxLA could mean nothing else than an introduction to the series for Xbox 360 owners in an effort to hype up a future port of Metal Gear Solid 4. Otherwise, it would be some kind of bitter joke to the Xbox fanbase.

By the way, the game (MGS4) doesn’t need to fit in one DVD. If PS3 owners can bear an 1-3 minute installation after each chapter, Xbox 360 owners can live with disc swapping instead. It’d be even less annoying in my opinion.

wow just reading the comments tells me there is a hell of alot of ps3 nerds and fanboys. This is a rumor that probably isn’t true. Calm down you xbox haters seriously, you are embarassing the video game community

LC, did you get dumped by a chick in favour of a playstation? Or is it more likly you were dumped by a playstation in favour of a chick? Seriously dude, what happened to make you so negative? I hope you do enjoy your gaming, although i don’t think i have ever seen you express that. One of TX3 comments suggests that he won’t be returning on the comments section and i suspect that is a direct result of your bile masquerading as a comment. See a shink man, take a few minutes to sort yourself out. You deserve it.

I so glad you made your feelings clear, I feel better about you clearing the air myself pat.

LC: As if I need to respond, but Richard’s “we” is clearly referring to developers and Blu-ray, not PS3 owners and HDD’s.

I’ve already made clear my feelings on installs ( http://www.ripten.com/2008/05/30/haze-hands-on-single-player-co-op/ ), with a preference for Sony to reduce their allowance way below 5gb per game. Installs are used because they can aid a game’s engine, but it is not the only solution, as Naughty Dog has proved.

Do you really think Sony made Blu-ray discs so developers can copy the game’s data in multiple locations?

The PlayStation 3 is a streaming system even though all consoles can. The PlayStation 3 was made to stream like PCs (Personal Computers). This is why the architecture is so different from the XBOX 360′s.
