Leave Hideo Kojima Alone!


Metal Gear Solid 4 [http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/global/index.html] isn't coming out for the Xbox 360, and series creator Hideo Kojima wishes you'd all just stop bugging him about it.

In an interview with 360 [http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=225467] or other formats?' and in the near future I hope they'll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware," he said.

"But, you know, what kind of disturbs me sometimes, because a lot of people ask me about this PS3/360 question, is that it's not about the hardware - I want people to look at the game itself," he continued. "Sometimes I even feel like it should be on a PC so that people don't ask me about hardware and platforms."

Interestingly, GamesIndustry [http://www.scee.com]. "We might do a few things, where we feel that we need a push here or a push there."

"We have to accept more and more that platform holders themselves cannot have exclusives unless they're given millions and millions of dollars not to develop a particular game for one particular platform," he added. "But for developers, and you could take someone like Quantic Dream [http://www.quanticdream.com/] for example - a great game, it takes a lot of time to develop, they need a little bit of funding, external development. In exchange, it's exclusive - that works. So exclusivity possibly with developers is more likely than exclusivity with publishers."

And MGS4 on the 360? Don't hold your breath, according to Kojima, who said, "Because MGS4 was optimized for the PS3 it is probably not possible." On the other hand, rumors about MSG5 coming out on the PC should be starting right about... now.

Metal Gear Solid was eventually remade for the Gamecube (hell Solid Snake is in SSBB on the Wii), so I don't blame the fan base in wanting a port for the 360.

Dear Mr.Kojima

MGS4 on 360 is anything but impossible.Stop being such a douche and compress your files, including the "lossless" music and high quality cut-scenes.You will then see that there shouldn't be any problem fitting your game on a single disc.

No but seriously, I've never thought that it would come to the X360.

Fitting 7 DVDs worth of stuff may be a challenge, even with compressing audio and video. But then, I would have no idea.

Well i get that he doesn't like being asked over and over and over about if his game will come to a console he doesn't care about. Wouldn't you get tired of it?

Meh, no more money for him then I guess. I wouldn't buy it, but I definitely know people who would.

Sometimes you gotta adore the fans for their dedication; other times you gotta realise that there's just not enough napalm on the planet for 'em.

I bought a PS3 for the game and got over the whole fan boy thing because I worked for the money so I could afford both systems. Maybe people should stop being fan boys and realize that maybe Sony needs a great exclusive so they don't quit making games altogether and then we would all be stuck with a constant stream of shit games like Halo or Madden.

I'm aware that it would be hard for the 360 to recieve MGS4, but he shouldn't be annoyed by it really, as it shows a large amount of people who can't play the game due to their choice of hardware have to do without the possibly final game in a series that was introduced to the Xbox in the form of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. It would not have been difficult to port Metal Gear Solid 3, and to be annoyed at people for wanting his game on the 360 just seems like another slap in the face. It's flattery he is recieving, after all.

He said MGS being released exclusively on PS is part of it's sucess... AFAIK that only goes for when your platform actualy does things that others can't(and no, blu ray doesn't count), which right now is PC exclusive territory. Otherwise you are just crippling your sales.

nope, you don't see PS3-boys whining about wanting a 360 exclusive but I guess that's because the exclusives come out on PC sometime anyway. I'd be pissed to if people kept asking "Will MGS4 be on 360?" "Will MGS4 be on 360?" "Will MGS4 be on 360?" over and over again. Shut up and just wait, nobody asked if Bioshock would come to PS3 but it did eventually, nobody thought taht Dead Rising would come to Wii but it did. Either wait or forget about it.

I say let this dog die, and start pumping up rumours of MG5 or Metal Gear Liquid coming to PC exclusivly, then nobody would complain until they find the specs.

Either that or "the grass is always greener on the other side, but you still have to deal with your neighbors." ;P

I dunno why people want it so badly on the 360, unless it was to shut those annoying fanboys who go on and on about MGS4 whenever I click on a thread announcing how superior the PS3 is to anything else in exsistance.

I played it on a friends PS3 - I personally didn't like it. As for maoning about the hardware - he should be pleased some 360 owners want the game - why is he complaining?

Not on these forums - bu I've seen some pretty stupid posts - like PS3-boys wanting Halo, making some stupid rumours up about Bungie (because they've split from Microsoft, someone said Halo was definatly going to the PS3, and everyone on the thread was getting excited).

I've also seen some posts about wanting GoW for the PS3. The again, MGS has been on ALL consoles at some point, so you can see why players might want the game - its not like it was a series exclusive to the Playstation in general.
