Xbox Live Boss Says The 360 Can "Definitely" Handle MGS4

Heh, I knew someone would call that out, but still MGS4 wouldn't make much of a difference if they already have those games that "show the power of the 360" or something.

Sure, MGS4 might not, but it helps set a precedent. On the one hand for more Konami games (ZoE3 please(I'm a little mecha fanboy at heart)) and (though unlikely because Kojima says he doesn't want to but he might anyway) the next MGS game. It'd also show other companies that may have exclusive games on the PS3 out or comign up that Microsoft is open to put their games on the 360. Sure, MGS4 is one game, but you have to consider the effects porting it could have.

EPIC has said that they have reached their limit with Gears 2, so if we want to know the power of the 360, then lets wait for Gears 2 and also hope that it runs well.

Also, I think both the PS3 and 360 only upscale 1080i or 720p. I think MGS4 and Wipeout HD are the only games I know of that are "true" 1080p. Just rely on the naked eye of humans to not know the difference.

Of course, I understand the business point of view for having MGS4 on the 360, however i'm more or less responding to what the man is saying himself.

If what he says is true, then it shouldn't matter if MGs4 is on the 360 because they already have games like MGs4 that show off the power of the 360.

It's perfectly reasonable to want someone elses stuff on your stuff, it's pure business, but I'm just pointing out a flaw (for lack of a better word) in what he's saying which is hipocritical (there's taht word again).

I remember reading somewhere that in early stages of its development MGS4 was actually running on a 360. Once the storage issues came up they dropped it and kept going with the PS3 hardware. I don't think it will happen and I don't really care.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Not another console pissing contest. Who cares!?

Insert disk 12.....

You guys do know they deliberately left audio and video files mostly uncompressed just so they could fill the blu-ray disc?

Yeah, didn't think so.

I don't care for the PS3, and I don't care for the 360, but the fact is, the 360 is for the most part, just as powerful as the PS3, because yeah the PS3 has a Cell processor, but all that is useless if the rest of the hardware is bottlenecking it.

 

[HeyZeus_Ezekiel_Jesus]

Unless somone from Konami says it's possible then I'm not believing anything.

Yes, yes, yes, we've all heard that before. Multiple times in the other 3 "MGS4 coming to 360?" threads, infact, you're not revealing anything special.

Konami can do whateverthehell they want with MGS4, and if that means compressing a bunch of stuff to fit it on a DVD9 disc than fine, whatever. We can only wait and see.

That's kind of what started this whole thing, isn't it?

<"I can't speak on behalf of Konami, but I can shed more light on the fact that we definitely have the power to run MGS4," he continued. "There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren't on PS3. We've got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power."

So what.. The PS3 is beyond amazing?

Lemme see John... If MGS4 needs an install to play on a PS3 you are either going to need three of your disks or a harddrive just for the game

I hope this clears things up, and yes those specs are legit [Gamers world record book]

--Bluray...Check
--Twice the power of a 360... Check (2 teraflops comapred to one, wii is half a teraflop)
--Kojima hates the 360 according to an interview I have seen
--Even Truer high def [brought by bluray]
--Cell processor compared to some powerpc thing

I think the PS3 can handle it slightly better there m

360 has a better RAM setup and while it can't match the PS3's raw processing power, it uses what power it does have more efficiently.

But goddamn, whats with all these MGS4 on 360 stories lately? It's like they're just TRYING to taunt fanboys and fans in general.

 

[SmugFrog]

Fuel on the fire. Perhaps the next article will be about a 360/PS3 fanboy fight breaking out somewhere? *keeps fingers crossed*

Yes. but it has already been raid that the Xbox is at it's limit now and I also remember reading that the ps3 is only at about 30-40% (some dev)

No an automated translation did.

 

[SmugFrog]

I doubt it. I'm guessing I'm the only one who could realistically kick some ass.

So you're not going to go? Damn. I was going to start sending you messages on another account insulting your favorite system and tell you to meet me in the parking lot.

 

[SmugFrog]

Lol maybe one of these days I'll get down that way.
