Coming as proof that you just can't keep a good rumor down (just ask the 360 Blu-Ray rumor) IGN is reporting that the longstanding Xbox 360 Metal Gear Solid 4 rumor has surfaced once again. The news comes by way of a report from Morningstar, a Japanese investment research firm, which focused on multiplatform trends. In the report a Konami public relations representative, in regard to Metal Gear Solid 4, was quoted as saying, "We're actively looking into a release for the Xbox 360."As IGN notes, a single quote hardly adds up to any assurance that MGS4 will see the light of day on 360. This is especially so given that series creator Hideo Kojima has denied the rumor to the point of saying that he's tired of being asked about it in every interview. If somone doesn't make good on this rumor soon, we'll have to start one about MGS4 hitting the next Xbox.

wow, never ever happen, unless it was compressed and made to look shitter...
and as for the next xbox, i still think no, seeing as ms won't go with blu ray, 50gb digital download, although possible, not going to happen

Jake, you are so wrong. The next Xbox will be Blu-Ray.

Just for the record I lost interest in this series after they went all bonkers on the story line which I might add has Vampires and a dude who rollerblades with explosives. Dont even get me started on Raiden and the whiney girlfriend who wants to talk about our relationship in the middle of a boss battle.

Morningstar was also the name given to a strain of rabies in the book "Plague of the Dead" in which it turned people into zombieeeeees!

It's simple... and Hideo has said this himself.
If you want to play MGS4... go buy a PS3.
I did, it was worth it.
End.

Me too, but sadly the only affection my PS3 gets now is the love of a dust cloth.

Jeez even I'm sick of this rumor, seriously most people who wanted it would have gotten it by now.
I doubt it would even be a big deal if it ends up on the 360 because everyone who wanted it got it already. I doubt PS3 fanboys would even care.

I'm not about to spend $400 to play it, but if it does somehow end up on the 360 aisle (why is it pronounced AILE ???). I might pick it up.

^^It's not pronounced aile, it's pronounced aisle, exactly as it's spelled. Anyway, I played MGS4 on PS3 and it was not a good game. It was a decent action game but nowhere near as good as what's already available on the 360. Not to mention that it's beatable in less than 5 hours, and has zero replay value. Sony can keep it, I'd rather have the next Splinter Cell.

This is like Bioshock for the PS3, seriously...
No one cares...
I will buy it though, if its true :)
Its a decent game, VERY overrated, but a good game.

Lmao @blank964..
I bet they would care! It's one of the only games on the ps3 worth getting. Hell I bought a ps3 and ended up renting mgs4, and I beat it in 2 days..It's a Fantastic game, but saying that "I doubt it would even be a big deal if it ends up on the 360 because everyone who wanted it got it already." Is just like saying.."I doubt it would be a big deal if sony got gears of war, because everyone who wanted got it already" It's a deal of exclusiveness that makes a console. I would love MGS4 to come to 360, but it wouldb't bother me if it doesn't. I've alrady played the game :P

if MGS4 ever comes out on the 360 it would probably come out sometime in 2009 by that time Resistance 2, LBP and maybe Killzone 2 will already be out so now MGS4 would not be the only game worth getting on the PS3. Even though MGS4 was a good game i would rather have Resistance 2 than MGS4
