stole from 1Up.com :)

"In an interview with 1up.com, Hideo Kojima (the creator of the popular Metal Gear Solid series) mentioned that it was technically possible for Metal Gear Solid 4 to run on Xbox 360 hardware. He also stated that they chose the Playstation 3 hardware to run the MGS4 trailer was merely because it was 'newer' and they wanted to try it out first. Kojima also said that there weren't any real differences between PS3, PC and Xbox 360.

As for the Nintendo Revolution, he called it totally different.

1UP: With your debut of the Tokyo Game Show Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer, which has seen wide distribution in both Japanese magazines, online, and in the U.S. Official PlayStation Magazine recently, it really heralded the dawn of the next-generation. Everything else has been polished and nice, but this was so powerful, so compelling you even had to do a real-time demonstration at TGS to prove it was running on PS3 hardware. That said, it makes you wonder how much of a gap there is between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Do you think you could create MGS4, technically, on 360 if you wanted to?

Hideo Kojima: Yes, that's technically possible. I want to express, first of all, it's not that I don't like Xbox or 360. It's just that last year, our hands were really tied to MGS3, so the other Konami developers were able to get their hands on the 360 tools and hardware earlier. But we simply didn't have time to do that last year. So, meaning that we were behind the other developers in terms of 360 development. Kojima Productions has this philosophy that we want to be the first in everything regarding new technology. So after we finished MGS3, the option was to work on the PS3 to try all the new things for Metal Gear Solid 4. The only reason for this is I'm the kind of person who wants to be the first person on the moon, and don't want to be asking "what the moon was like?" from other people. So that's the real story behind selecting PS3.


So it is possible to have MGS4 on the XBox360 there also seems the PS3 might not be as advanced as Sony likes to make out afterall according to Mr. Kojima.

i realy dont understand why put a MGS4 ps brand game,in an xbox forum :) ???
and ofcourse there wont be "major" diffrances between 360 and ps3,its not like one should think the 360 will be a dreamcast once ps3 will be the xbox in terms of spacs...

i think both companies lied so far,MS maybe even more than MS.shall i recall everyones memory with MS:"yes we will have hd ear and hd dvd"?well yeah right... :)
also Sony may very well lie....

and as for comparing systems in games,we also have diffranece here...360s western brand is FPS and sports...great fps and great sports games for both online and single play(and please dont say "but" there are so much others in dev,cuse we all know 75% are FPS and sports games),and playstation3 will be all about beat em ups/advanture and rpgs(japanese rpgs please note).

u wont see Halo/call of duty2/PDZ/Farcry/HalfLife franchises on playtation simple cuse they sell bad there.
Just as u wont see square(ff/dq/mana)konami(mgs4)sega(vf) for example on 360...simple cuse VF is big in japan,Squares most sells are in Japan,also MGS is mainly a japanese selling machince...and wake up u wont see these on 360 cuse they wont sell,and in japan u have 0% 360 will actully do well.

but sure MGS 4 can be done on 360,just look at PG3 its freaking amazing.

Because it's about the XB360....?

Metal Gear Solid 2 was on the Xbox so...MGS4 isn't impossible.

[Akira]

nor is it impossible to see any square games on 360, if the demand is there then the dev's will make it happen.

[the_V]

Its not about "cuse its on 360".its about putting a game on a system that will sell it.
Mgs2 was a joke for the xbox,cuse it came just 2 years ago after the xbox was already out,and it didnt sell or was well.

But demaned is mostly by japanese gamers for both virtua fighter,square games,and mgs(btw mgs2 was a addon remake of sort on xbox and didnt realy do well...).
its like the ps2 will have a demaned for a Call of dutiy or FarCry of HalfLife,but it although possible wont happen,cuse on xbox and 360 they just sell alot more.
As a game dev would u make a game for a console that wont sell it?

we as most of xbox gamers love western games like FPS and sports,thats why all buy it.
if ur an rpg fan for japanese u buy a ps...it just cant happen,japanese developers will alwyas fallow there own system brand mostly,not cuse we want to,but cuse they have there national pride,home console on home ground yada yada...

i dont say nothing is impossible,i bought a 360 i hack play it,yet i know why i bought it,cuse its an fps/sports on live network console.

but demaned is also by the populirity of a system,MGS is a stalth game populer in japan more than us or europe where they have sam fisher and splinter cell...square enix is a power house rpg makers,that most of there games sell more on japan(FF X sold 8M there while in europe and us 2)so sure it is possible but hack its not worthy to put japanese mainly sellers on another console(for example most of MGS series sells on ps are in japan like 65% of the sells).
and u know 360 wont move a thing in japan,i read japanese mags,360 doesnt even faze the japanese gamers,and that will effacet japanese supporet on 360.

im not for it at all btw,i do pray thingz will change,but even blue dragon and DOA doesnt even intreset the people for them to buy the system,they are impowered by a monapoly of Square-Enix...the company that gets the FF/DQ/MANA series rulez japan...look what happened at 96 when Square announced that FF VII wont be on N64,it was a huge splash for N64,and the day after people bought a ps1 in a rate of god only knows,the video game scene hadnt seen since SF II on snes.

[Revolver-Ocelot]

You know Metal Gear Solid doesn't really sell that well in Japan right? so the demend is more in America/Europe then in Japan just thought I point that out.

[the_V]

just to make sure how many are in waiting in japan for MGS compared to us and europe ;)
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/100/100158p1.html
sure that in the us it sells more cuse us in far larger than the US but still MGS2 sold more than 1.8m copies in japan and 5m world wide,more than 1m of 5m shows that its populer.sure more sold there...but 1m on ps would make how many 1,000 on 360 in japan?is it worth the risk?besides,sorry to say,Splinter cell is way better :P i preffer my 360 sam fisher.

[Revolver-Ocelot]

Metal Gear and Splinter Cell are really NOTHING alike. Eitherway Metal Gear sells better in the USA another reason why they always get them first.

[the_V]

true maybe but u realy think it would sell more on 360?besides splinter and mgs are in the same game catgory: tactics and stalth,the only diffrance is that sam is a spy and snake is an army combat solidar...one belongs to the feds(sam) the other belongs to the army...its like mario and sonic,1 is based on speed the other on jumping yet they are both platforms...gameplay is a bit diffranet but u have to do the same things cuse its the same game catgory,sneaking,hidding,killing etc...only Splinter cell is way better(99 at ign and high ranks at gamespot and 1up)and sells more in the us mainly k? :P...than mgs.

if mgs would have been 360 it would have been a downfall ps games are bad on 360,cheak ridge racer selling poorly 3,000 copies world wide...

[Revolver-Ocelot]

No it wouldn't sell better on the Xb360 but it would sell better on the PS3/XB360!!

Doesn't matter if there cased the same you don't even have to be stealthy in MGS 99.9% of the time. Gran Turismo and Outrun 2 are cased together but there as close to each other as Chocolate and Peanut Butter.

[the_V]

btw did any one see any screen shots of blue dragon?im already dien to see the game and cant see it anywhere no pics or trailer... :(
damn top secret projacet ;)
