I'm calling it now. MGS4 on 360. E3 Microsoft Press Conference.

[CliffyBiro]

MGS5 Mutli plat? That'd be at least double the amount of discs.. At least 48 disc box set.

And 24 of those would be full of cutscenes.

 

[Jive-Zombie]

Haha good one! That'd be so funny

And what about the PS3?

You know, the family of consoles which the MGS series has called it's home for the last few years?

Best take full advantage of the next xbox instead of compressing or putting it on 2-3 discs to make it work for the 360. By the time MGS5 is out, the next xbox will also probably be out or close to coming out. It could still come out on the PS3 in 2-3 years.

If I rememer correctly...

MGS3 2005
MGS4 announced in 2006

MGS4 2008
MGS5 announced in 2009?

So that mean MGS5 will probably be out in 2011 or 2012.

If it's episodic, each episode or two on a DVD, and/or fully installed to HDD on the 360, then I see no real issue with the 360 being a valid platform..?

 

[wannabedamned]

haha, If MGS4 comes to 360, this thread itself is proof that the next argument is whether MGS5 will, Rinse and repeat from the look of things

 

[Strife212]

Most of the disk space is wasted on 1080p clips for the intro (Which are mostly irrelevant to the game, they aren't cutscenes, it's hard to explain unless you've played the game) and totally uncompressed sound.

They could downscale those to 720p and use lossless sound compression and the game would be a hell of a lot smaller, probably 2 disks or maybe even one.

 

[wannabedamned]

I think it'll happen on 3 disks. Disk 1 for chapter 1 and intro, Disk 2 for Chapter 2 and 3, and disk 3 for chapter 4 and 5. Which is fine by me.

 

[dalin80]

i shudder to think how long it would take to remove all the sony and apple products from the game and its extremely long (yet awesome) cutscenes.

 

[spirity]

wow, just wow.

I know, I know. I was incredible. I get that a lot.

 

[Strife212]

Why remove apple? Macbooks are a close competitor with Sony Vaio

 

[CliffyBiro]

Why are there Apple products? Do they get money from the advertising?

also how on earth would 360 users control the mk.II

 

[Streeteh]

Yup

They'd also need to remove the RROD from the end cutscene

 

[JUMPURS]

I'd be shocked if MGS4 didn't make it to the 360.

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Just replace it with an Orange light.

 

[wannabedamned]

I'm pretty sure MS would just have to take it on the chin with some aspects of the game, its better to have a Sixaxis in game over not having the game on 360

Just replace it with an Orange light.

Actually YLOD is the direct competitor

 

[JUMPURS]

I bet there are cutscenes and voice work already done with the 360 controller.
