I think it will be on both PS3 and Xbox 2. MS will probably pay Konami some cash to port MGS4 to Xbox 2 like they did with MGS2 on Xbox.
The fanbase is there on both sides but I doubt that Konami will screw the majority PS fanbase by making the series exclusive to Xbox.

What the fuck? :lol
Halo is owned by MS, so no, noone would have any fantasies about it going to PS3.
However, if the topic was Ninja Gaiden 2 for "next-generation" you can bet your sorry ass there'll be people there wishing it comes to PS3. Never mind the fact that the MGS series has already appeared on other platforms.
MGS 4 will of course be on the PS3. The question is will it on Xbox 2 / PC also? Konami ported their other major franchise (WE) to PC and Xbox, and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do the same for their other big franchise, especially considering there will almost be zero code compatability between PS2 and PS3 and Xbox 2 / PS 3 are likely to be much more similar than Xbox / PS 2 is. I don't care about MGS either way, but why is there such a huge backlash of the thought of MGS going multiplatform?

anyone who thinks it wont come to PS3 is kidding themselfs!
MGS4 will be a PS3 launch title mark my words.
cant wait for this beast to arrive, and i think it will be good that Kojima gets to produce this game, and for you graphic whores all i can say is that the game will look better than it has ever done before.
no need to worry

Launch title? lol!
It will be a 2nd gen title.
I personally want Kojima to work on a new original game. Something to do with giant robots preferably.

with launch title i meant that the game will be realeased within 3 months after the launch of PS3.
Konami has alot of time to develop this game as the PS3 wont see its launch untill Late 2006
The Metal Gear series started on the MSX a computer popular in Asia and Europe.peedi said:

I don't expect the Xbox2's content to be much of a departure from what we've seen hit the Xbox. Hence, I'm not interested in buying it, which fuels my desire to see MGS4 hit the PS3. I don't care if the Xbox2 receives a port. Good for those who purchase one. I'm not a fanboy. I simply am not interested in what Microsoft brings to the table.

The MSX is not a "Microsoft system".

yeah but did work begin on mgs3 so close after the release of mgs2 as mgs 4 began after mgs3 release?........did i get that right?
sounds confusing eh hahahaha
robertsan21 said:
Probably not, but they were also developing for the exact same console between MGS2 and MGS3. I think the unannounced, unconfirmed next Sony console will be a little different and will take longer than basically a year and a half to write a new engine, certify and release in time for the launch, let alone the calendar year.
Just a guess, though.

And even i am moderately surprised
Here is a break down of what seems to be happening with a lot of important 3rd parties at the momenent :
Games company : Hey Sony/MS/N we are a big games company and we have important titlles that you want... so... erm.... given we are going back to zero userbase and we can make a difference, how much of a sweetner are you going to offer?
MS: Oh, we'll give you X yen!
Games company : Great ! Sony, MS said they'd give us X yen!
Sony : Really? we'll give you Y yen ! (where Y > X)
Games company : Great ! MS , Sony said they'd give us Y yen!
MS: Oh, really? we'll give you.... etc etc
unitil someone says "F*ck that, they can have you"
So, that would equate to money hats from both sides! *** WORLD IMPLODES***
Alright, if you people are so sure, tell me if there was *any* hint of MGS3 going to Xbox/PC?
If not then I stand by my opininon - MGS4 won't (and shouldn't) hit Xbox2/PC. You have to have some exclusives, right?
When people think "Halo" they think "Xbox" and vice versa. The same should be the case for MGS. You think "MGS" - you think "Playstation".
Multiplatform gaming rules... only for EA games.
(oh, and Splinter Cell should stay on Xbox)

I don't know...Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance hitting PC/Xbox (with the Xbox port debuting first), and MGS1 hitting the PC before that seems like a fairly large hint that MGS is not "ABSOLUTELY EXCLUSIVE FOREVER TO SONY CONSOLES"...
I still stand by my opinion that there will be a substance styled port to all 3 late this year...maybe even a Xenon port if they want to try and cash in on the launch window.
If you want exclusives for your console of choice...try rooting for the actual Sony owned properties like Rise of the Kasai, Gran turismo, I.C.O, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Twisted Metal, Wipeout, etc...MGS =! Sony.

I think Sony paid Konami to keep MGS3 exclusive. Otherwise they would have ported it to PC/Xbox just like Silent Hill.
Oh I'm sure they tossed cash their way for it to be exclusivie...the Ape escape mini game shows Sony had a hand in MGS3...but as was mentioned earlier it costs much more for full exclusive rights then it would be for an exclusive contract for a year or so.
Silent Hill has declined saleswise since 2...it is not in the same league as MGS thus what did they have to lose by multiplatforming that?
Grand Theft Auta SA is a hell of a lot bigger chip for sony than MGS being exclusive...and that will be ported in less than a year. If they couldn't be bothered to tie that up why bother with MGS3?

I don't see it happening.
Neah the Ape Escape thing has nothing to do with money. Kojima is a big fan of the Ape Escape series that was pointed out in several interviews when MGS2 was in development.

Oh well, the MGS games were good because of a WHOLE LOT more than just Kojima, I'm sure. 4 will probably turn out just as good as the previous titles if it's made by the same team.

You're certifiably bat shit insane. No one here was even being serious about MGS4 coming to the Xbox 2 and you still fly of the fucking handle. I swear someone could just mention the Xbox in passing and you'll go into some crazed idiotic attack mode at the drop of a hat. You don't even know what or who the hell you're bitching about 99% of the time.
Seriously, go back to GameFaqs and wage your insane holy war there.
