Konami Plays Coy With Big Juicy Snake
When TeamXbox let slip a little rumor about a possible Metal Gear Solid 4 appearance on the Xbox 360, my tiny heart nearly burst with glee – I’d love to wrap my hands around some Solid Snake, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be plush enough to score a PS3 anytime soon.
Alas, I will now be using Tiny’s Patented Heart Epoxy to glue together the shattered pieces of my heart, and all thanks to the meanies at Konami who live in some kind of “reality” where they have to engage in some malarkey called “public relations.” Phooey:
“Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time,” a Konami representative told CVG, reiterating that the Hideo Kojima stealth-em-up was still “exclusive to PlayStation 3.”
Of course, as the Aeropausians mentioned, “at this time” is PR code, right? But is it code for “Never, you idiot,” or “Yes, we just can’t talk about it because Sony is right over there?” Personally, I think it means “Sure, we’ll ship out MGS4 for the 360. About 6 months after you’ve stopped caring. Thanks for shopping.”
Snake? SNAKE!? SNAAAAAAAKE!? [Aeropause]

If MGS4 has a grey-haired Snake about to blow his own head off because he’s just THAT DARK, MAN…. I wonder if MGS5 will have him in a nursing home trying to blow himself up with his oxygen tank.
Of course, “Snake? Snake?? SNAAAAAAKE!!!” will then be a reference to his tendency to take the battery out of his hearing aid.
When watching the MGS4 trailers, I just get the feeling that Kojima is getting ready to pull another Raiden on us. That said, if MGS4 ends up multiplatform, I will have no reason to buy a ps3.
Given how broken the controls for the Xbox port of MGS2 were, I’d avoid a 360 port of it even if it did happen.
At this time is code for yes it will be released at a later date on a diferent console in a better, improved version so as to screw over everyone that bought the first release.
