Once again, rumors surface of Metal Gear Solid 4 being ported to the Xbox 360 (certainly not the first time we've heard this). Many are discussing Microsoft's main attraction at this year's E3 and now it looks as though MGS 4 360 might be in the spotlight this year...

Speculation started to flow the moment Konami set up this little teaser (thanks VE3D). There's a flash teaser indicating the possibility of a new Metal Gear game. From where I'm standing it looks like a teaser for a potential Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots...

Before Kojima Productions' top-selling PS3- exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots hit the market, numerous reports indicated that MGS creator and lead designer Hideo Kojima had been considering the possibility of an Xbox 360 edition...

Praising Sony's PlayStation 3, Capcom expresses its firm belief that the console is in full swing, following the appearance of top releases and platform-exclusive titles such as the action game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (thanks CVG)...

So, some of you may have got the impression that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots actually spells the end of MGS series. You'd be pretty wrong in assuming so, despite of what Kojima and the MGS 4 development team said about it in the past...

In its Q1 2009 financial results for the April-June quarter, publisher Konami uncovered that their revenue increased 17% when compared to the same period one year back. There was also a 64% income jump, largely thanks to the launch (June 12) of the PlayStation 3 stealth flavored shooter Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots...

Hideo Kojima, creator and director of the Metal Gear series, expressed his attitude towards current gaming technology quite a few times. While working on his recent project Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Hideo complained about the capacity of PS3's Blu-ray technology and how he wasn't able to create a project he originally envisioned...

Here's the neatly compiles hardware and software sales for June 2008 (cheers Gamasutra). Nintendo's dominating both hardware and software charts, as usual. Here's the sales data: Hardware Nintendo DS - 783k Wii - 666.7k PlayStation 3 - 405...

So that's what he's up to in his spare time - playing MGS 4 on the PS3. He deserves a right spanking from MS for such treachery. Seriously though, Cliff Bleszinski claims to be a great admirer of Hideo Kojima and his work and says that the 90 minute cut-scenes are among the things he enjoys the most about the PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots...

Metal Gear Solid 4 is doing pretty well sales wise, with around half a million copies sold in Japan and one million shifted across Europe. At this time, there is no official figure to prove how many units of the game have been sold overall...

God, they're already talking about a fifth installment in the MGS series. We've heard that MGS 4 may not be the end of Metal Gear, but could be a conclusion to the story of Solid Snake.

Four days after its launch in Japan, Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots sold 476,334 copies, which includes various editions; even those bundled with hardware. Japanese gaming mag Famitsu confirms that the release of MGS 4 gave the PlayStation 3 a major salels boost to 77,208 for the week...

Heh, so anyway, they keep telling me that some cut-scenes in MGS 4 are 90-minutes long. Imagine waiting 90 long minutes for a cut-scene to end, so you can resume playing... The good news, however, is that the scenes can be paused or skipped, but then doing that means you'll probably miss out on important parts of the story. Still, it's fucking 90 minutes!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is now less than a month away from release. PlayStation 3 owners should finally be able to feel happy for buying Sony's console. In light of recent disappointments like Ubisoft's Haze (which we hear sucks big-time), anybody who owns a PS3 will jump at the chance to snatch a high-profile game like MGS 4 (I know I would)...

In spite of earlier reports that MGS 4 will be the last game in the Metal Gear series, it appears that we could see more titles after that. MTV has the word that although this is to be the last chapter in the story about the character Solid Snake, it may not be the end of Metal Gear...
