MGS4 on XBOX360
TheTurk | 6:42 AM on 12.10.2007 34 comments


So a friend of mine tells me he asked a relative who works in Activision to get him a copy of MGS4 since the guy can get games a good few weeks before general release.
The guy replies "Do you want the PS3 version or the Xbox 360 version.. I'd go for the Xbox 360 version because it looks a lot better on the Xbox".
Now this means either (a) the activision guy don't know shit about games and should be fired for using excess bullshit to cover up his ignorance or (b) he know something we don't.

Is there any viable evidence out there, something more than rumours?

EternalDeathSlayer beat me to it, but yeah. Your friend's relative is dumb and he should be exposed to Activision for even considering the idea of giving out games early.

I'm with Eternal. How the hell would this guy know anything about MGS4? Even if MGS4 is coming out on 360 (which I bet it will eventually) How would a guy at activision know this?

now, now guys. I think you are being a little too hasty. I wouldn't neccesarily call this a fail. At least it had some content and was somewhat interesting. It would probably go better in the forums though.

I also heard that Snake is gonna be an unlockable player in Guitar Hero 4. His guitar is made out of J-Idol pinup magazines and a cardboard box.

I'm having trouble adding Roncore into my Wii Friend list. Anyone have the hexadecimal conversion so I can make this work?

Your friend's relative (if he even exists) is a fucking retard and he should be put down due to lack of intelligence.

In addition to Sonic being a playable race in Starcraft 2, Nerdcore Otacon will be unlockable and in the nude in God of War 3 on the 360.

Listen to the Workmeng, all you nonbelievers.

I have a friend who's giving me Spore. Turns out it's being developed by EA. Your goal in the game has changed from taking over the universe to developing the best football team of genetically modified freaks.

Well Du'h. I know who does MGS you wuzzuks!
I also know that people in the business actually talk to each other and exchange favours. My brother works for Universal Music (owned by Vivendi) and he gets me albums and gig tickets for bands on other labels and discounts on Sony gear.
So it is quite plausable that the Activision guy can get any other label game pre- release.
Now none of these facts make his statement any more reliable, but it did happen.
Personally I'd want more evidence before I'm convinced.
I never said I believed it you twits.
Everything else that went on here is you arse-sliding on your own shit.
Here's some more stuff you can lax out on.
Enjoy!!

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It"s called the Three Filters Test."

"Three Filters?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the Three Filters Test.

The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it"s true or not. Now let"s try the second filter, the filter of goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it"s true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"
