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!"
CLupula @ Jun 8th 2008 6:33PM
Damn it! Even the title of this thread is enough of a spoiler!
tonyt3rry @ Jun 8th 2008 6:33PM

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.
LEON TUTSSEL @ Jun 8th 2008 9:32PM
yeo 360 sucks! hideo best not sell out too them like rockstar did!!
Brarei2oo @ Jun 8th 2008 6:53PM
LMFAO!!!
Brarei2oo @ Jun 9th 2008 11:57AM
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?
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!
Daniel @ Jun 8th 2008 8:10PM
LMAO...that's classic! fucking love MGS!
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
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...
Punx @ Jun 8th 2008 8:10PM
(tear) Priceless hahahahah
golden sapphire @ Jun 8th 2008 8:09PM
lolzz this was hilarious
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*
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.
Max @ Jun 13th 2008 8:49PM
You still need the disc, it's just the disc is too slow to load a lot of the stuff directly. Also this means that if you have a lot of games you need to get a bigger hard drive, ten 6 gig installs and your hard drive is gone.
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.
