Rumor: Metal Gear Solid coming to XBLA
The Wrath | 6:43 PM on 06.09.2008 33 comments


According Ripten, a source is claiming to have seen the game on Microsoft's pre-release network (= PartnerNet). This wouldn't be the first time MGS appeared on a non Sony console, but is interesting when you consider the MGS4 on 360 rumors/wishful thinking. Is this the best 360 owners can hope to receive or just the beginning?

MGS1 was rereleased on the Gamecube, therefore MGS4 is coming to the Wii.

Don't you guys have something better to do than whack-off to fantasies of MGS on the 360? Did you guys not buy your 360 for any other games?

I highly doubt it. If it were on PartnerNet, MicroSoft would already be talking about it.

Not outside the realm of possibility, but I doubt it.

Paraparaking: This is what happened with Ikaruga. That showed up on PartnerNet long before it was official.

In fact, that sighting of Ikaruga on PartnerNet all that time ago was what spurred me to buy a 360 in the first place. And it finally became a reality!

Of course, owning MGS in two forms (PS1 version and the Twin Snakes remake) already I have no particular want for this title.

However, it'd be pretty cool, and with compression these days? I'm sure it wouldn't be as hard as people think. The only question would be how the visuals would (or wouldn't) hold up. That game is fucking ugly by today's standards (shown by the MGS1 Snake mask in MGS4). Unless the polys were upped or it was upresed to 1080p or something, it would not be the most pleasant thing to see.

It's be pretty cool though nonetheless.

Gantz, actually I only use my 360 to play Metal Gear Solid. 5 is my favorite. Thats the one that Cliffy B helped develop.

@AKK

they could always use the Twin Snakes base as a start for better graphics...them bump it up to HD. Just a thought.

no one noticed the semi Bleemcast reference there? phail for a phail dreamcast add on.

Shin Oni: I certainly agree that if they were to do it, that would be a necessity. The issue with that would then be one of size. The Twin Snakes was over 1.5 GB, probably closer to 2 or 2.5, which would be a bit difficult as an XBLA title. If they could mesh it with Xbox Originals somehow then it would work fine.

Or they could just get Rockstar's compression algorithms and make the game about 25 MB, right? Hah, I wish.

I see an oppurtunity for Microsoft to make a joke back at Konami for the "2 disc" joke by making it a 2 gig download or some junk like that.

if it's that much of a hassel, then well Microsoft needs to loosen up those highwater bandwitch pants.

Except of course for when the MGS remake made it's way to the GameCube.

It would be interesting to see the original Metal Gear games get some XBLA treatment... and I'm sure they could fit in the marketplace!

I'd be incredibly surprised to see any MGS game, though.

I DUN GET IT, WRATH. DURRR


Seriously, it will. Just like Gears of War 3 is going to come to PS3. And Bioshock. And... well, you get the point. Developers need money. Just like you and me (I).

Actually, 007 is correct. Don't be a victim of looking stupid and just agree with him.
