Spoiler: Metal Gear Solid 4, 'insert disc 2' [Update]

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 8th 2008 at 6:17PM }

This isn't going to spoil the story for you, but it may spoil a funny joke hidden within Metal Gear Solid 4. We don't want to say anything more, or it might just ruin the surprise. This one is definitely not for Xbox 360 fanboys.

Update: New video embedded.

adolson @ Jun 9th 2008 1:11PM

Why? What happens on Tuesday?

Josh @ Jun 9th 2008 6:36PM

Oops, meant Thursday haha
just noticed that.

Ps360 @ Jun 10th 2008 1:24AM

I hate Fanboys.

Why can't we all just get along.

Jonathan @ Jun 10th 2008 8:48AM

First of all, this is a jab at older Metal Gears.

Second of all, "suck it 360?"

He should say,

"There is no disc 2! It's a duel layer disc...but games big enough to take advantage of the size cannot allow access to the data fast enough. Which means 30 minute install times and install times in between acts, resulting in only slightly better load times! Bet you wish you could take 1.5 seconds to swap discs every 20 hours now!"

tonyt3rry @ Jun 8th 2008 6:33PM

lmfaoo Excelent vid roll on thursday

CLupula @ Jun 8th 2008 6:33PM

Damn it! Even the title of this thread is enough of a spoiler!

Anthony Graham @ Jun 8th 2008 6:36PM

:') Such pwnage. I love it.

Karamo17 @ Jun 8th 2008 6:48PM

that says alot about how japan feels about the 360

Maverick Saturn @ Jun 8th 2008 6:49PM

Ouch! Roflmao! Thats gotta hurt, this gen sure means a lot of nitpicking at each other, if its not developers taking picks at other devs, its devs taking picks at games, games taking picks at games or games taking picks at consoles.

Brarei2oo @ Jun 8th 2008 6:53PM

LMFAO!!!

stargateheaven @ Jun 8th 2008 7:00PM

Is this a referance to the 360 issues or to MGS1?

Mario @ Jun 8th 2008 7:02PM

I think that answers all the questions people had about MGS4 coming to Xbox360.

Draco @ Jun 8th 2008 9:59PM

I don't know about that, I mean in the 360 Version him saying that could actually be for when you actually swap to disk 2... just there not being a reference to Blu-Ray?

Rowdehaj @ Jun 8th 2008 7:07PM

Indeed, wonder what they'll think of next!

Didier Ortiz @ Jun 8th 2008 7:14PM

MGS4 never coming to the 360 confirmed!

Ethan @ Jun 8th 2008 7:18PM

Fishes in a barrel. It's a valid point but a really terrible joke.

R0e @ Jun 10th 2008 12:08PM

Tru dat.

Deaddy @ Jun 8th 2008 7:19PM

I didn't read this article but I wish you hadn't given away part of the joke in the title. That wasn't cool.

SuperGayParade @ Jun 8th 2008 7:24PM

INCREDIBLE. HUZZAH TOO TRUE!

Dinesh @ Jun 8th 2008 8:05PM

haha that's awesome, very clever.

ZombieOrgasm @ Jun 8th 2008 8:06PM

Otacon: "Don't worry Snake you'll just have to install instead!"

Snake: "New age huh?"

Vcize @ Jun 8th 2008 9:12PM

Haha...

FiredCylinder @ Jun 8th 2008 8:07PM

Sorry, what XBox 360 game requires you to swap discs in the middle of it? If there is one I don't know about, I'll stfu, but I fail to see how this relates to XBox 360 at all.

cheese @ Jun 8th 2008 8:10PM

Lost Odyssey comes to mind. It's hmm... 4 discs.

Ethan @ Jun 8th 2008 8:14PM

Blue Dragon. Twice.

In the unlikely event of it being ported, it would be over several disks. And I hope they keep this cutscene in. Maybe on some level it's a throwback to Metal Gear Solid?

moki666 @ Jun 8th 2008 9:19PM

Lost Oddysey and blue dragon

golden sapphire @ Jun 8th 2008 8:09PM

lolzz this was hilarious

Daniel @ Jun 8th 2008 8:10PM

LMAO...that's classic! fucking love MGS!

Punx @ Jun 8th 2008 8:10PM

(tear) Priceless hahahahah

clifton Garrison @ Jun 8th 2008 8:14PM

It's because the 360 only uses 8.5 gigs of data because it's a dual layered dvd.

MGS 4 has more then 8.5 gigs for the game. Which means a game like MGS 4 would have to be on 2 discs or more to be able to play on a 360. Possibly three or four if what kojima says is true and that the cinematic's take up a 50 gig blu-ray.

But I don't know what 360 games are two discs. But it shows that MGS 4 wouldn't be all that great if it came to the 360.

Max @ Jun 13th 2008 9:10PM

No, it's because the old Metal Gear Solids used CDs or DVDs and needed changes. Pull your head out of Sony's ass for a minute man.

Deathrace King @ Jun 8th 2008 8:20PM

It can be taken both ways, but to me it sounds like a joke referring to the original MGS which was on two discs. Just my $.02

Wayne @ Jun 8th 2008 8:23PM

Your probably right...

Wayne @ Jun 8th 2008 8:28PM

you're*

roach @ Jun 8th 2008 8:35PM

I agree, I think its referring to MGS1.

Which wasn't a pain to swap discs now was it?

It's good to see the PS3 finally getting a good game I can buy for my Blu-Ray player!

The Aggie CEO @ Jun 8th 2008 8:53PM

ROFLMBAO!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin @ Jun 8th 2008 8:57PM

Uh I'm pretty sure that a dual layered DVD is 9.4 GB.

But anyway, I think it's more jabbing at the 360 because I really think that a lot of people just were pissed that MSG4 didn't go to 360 and Kojima wants to throw salt on the wounds.

Ron @ Jun 9th 2008 4:00AM

A double sided single layer DVD (meaning you physically flip the disc over) is 9.4 total (4.7 per side)

A dual layer DVD is indeed 8.54

You are mistaken and confused.

Vcize @ Jun 8th 2008 9:11PM

Lol.

brettjr @ Jun 8th 2008 9:13PM

That's funny, it's too bad though that it could be switched around. Can you imagine: MGS4 from alteruniverse,"Hey Snake! Before playing this game you must install 5GB! ...oh wait we're on the xbox360 system, you can play right away!" Snake, "Otacon get ahold of yourself!"

joey2joey @ Jun 9th 2008 10:15PM

More like
*5 minutes of loading*
"Hey Snake! Before playing this game you must install 5GB! ...oh wait we're on the xbox360 system, you ca..." please insert disk 27"
*insert disk 27*
*20 minutes of loading*
" Your console has experienced the RROD, please wait will microsoft brainwashes you by controlling the media.

Seriously though, this scene, snake using dual shock three controller. I think Hideo Kojima is telling Xbots to "STFU!!!"

DjDATZ @ Jun 9th 2008 12:22PM

LOOOOL. yea...that would be the joke on the 360... :P

noerrorsfound @ Jun 9th 2008 4:49PM

As a PC gamer, I don't see what the big deal is about installing games on a console. It's not like a 5 GB game takes a long time to install. Then you don't have to hunt for the disc every time and worry about getting it scratched, and you don't have that constant whir noise coming from the disc drive.
