The rumors about Metal Gear Solid 4 on the Xbox 360 have refused to die, and just yesterday they had been reignited with gusto. In the wake of fresh speculation, Xbox Live VP John Schappert has expressed that he would love to see Guns of the Patriots on his platform, and has confidently declared that the 360 can handle its demands.
“I’m certainly in the fan club that would love to see Kojima-san’s masterpiece come our way. It would be wonderful to play Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox. It could become another of the many franchises that started their life on another console that are now coming our way.
“I can’t speak on behalf of Konami, but I can shed more light on the fact that we definitely have the power to run MGS4.
“There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren’t on PS3. We’ve got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power.”
A common argument concerning MGS4 on the 360 is the declaration that the game is too big to fit on a single DVD. Because of course, switching discs is such a ridiculous hardship. With a few tricks, it is surely possible to get MGS4 on the 360, and it’s no great stretch to imagine that Konami is heavily considering it.
The 360 can likely handle it, even though the machine itself sometimes can’t handle being switched on.
