If konami is releasing the HD versions for the PS3 and 360 then it looks like MGS5 will be multiplat. An even maybe Konami is going to release MGS4 for the 360. If thesecond thing happens I hope that at least they re-release it in the PS3 with trophies.

maybe in 2 years or with an updated version when MGS Rising comes out, maybe both together it could do 6 mil. but no MGS game has ever done 6 mil so it seems unlikely that this point imho. however PS3 is going to be around for another 5 years at least - so it could probabily do it!

True, but sneaking is still 10 times as hard. The objective is usually just to go from point A to B and in this case, choosing to run straight through the levels is all I've seen anybody but the most hardcore do. Unless you want to get some silly medal, why waste the time?

Yeah, it's a matter of preference and I like being able to tackle things multiple ways. It just seems to me it came at the cost of balance that I loved in previous games in the series.

If you really think it was "run-and-gun," you weren't going for the Big Boss medal. The great thing about this game is that it can be played however you want to, and it accommodates many skill levels. If you're a stealth master, the game will be awesome for you in the stealth department but you can play it as a straight-up action game too if you want.

@headshot91- look at all the links posted by others saying that it has sold 5 million. Those links are more than enough evidence imo.

@Streak

Very true 4.62 million sales is definitely not the righteous sales for a great game like MGS 4,it should get 7 million sales at least.I think it will reach that number in the future,but now,there's just too many good games worth buying.

MGS4
Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Resistance 2
Infamous
Modern Warfare 2
Heavenly Sword
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
Assassin's Creed 2
Little Big Planet
Demon's Souls
Dragon Age Origins
Final Fantasy XIII
Tekken 6
Grand Theft Auto IV
Soul Calibur 4
Bioshock 2
Fallout 3
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Far Cry 2
Valkyria Chronicles
Devil May Cry 4
White Knight Chronicles
Bayonetta
God of War Collection
God of WarIII
Heavy Rain
......
can't list them all.

Need more time,need more money.

My favorite PS3 games now
Uncharted 2
MGS 4
God of War III
Heavy Rain
Dragon Age Origins
Killzone 2
FF13

This is ridiculous!!! What are PS3 owners buying on the PS3, anyway??? MW2 I guess - what crap!!! I mean, you have a beautiful exclusive game like MGS4 and it sells only 5 million??? The world sucks when a game like this doesn't get close to 10 million copies. MGS2 sold 7 million so I hope it equals that or surpasses it, seriously.

We all know that MGS4 is over 5 million, excpet the good folks (no sarcasm intended) at vgchartz. Quite simply, every PS3 owner, casual or hardcore, should buy Metal Gear Solid 4

MGS4 is seriously one of the biggest reasons to get a PS3.

And with it you get GoW 3, KZ2, Uncharted 1+2 which are all jizz-able x10.

Actually, it could be 'you' that is not looking in depth beneath the surface of the story in order to trully grasp those characters and their motivations/development in conjunction to past and present events.
But i guess to each his own.

Regarding the RE4 view, whatever you wanna call it it is not in any way a 'westernizing' as it is created by 'japanese' devs. Maybe a more 'casual friendly' approach if you are keen on naming it.

MGS4 did not function as always over the shoulder...you could go into over the shoulder aiming but it wasn't always over the shoulder like RE4
and the fact you don't see anything wrong with some of the characters makes me doubt you look into the depth of the games rather than the play them

@ vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - completely agree.

Also, i always found it funny how people call this third person mechanic "westernized" when it was Resident Evil 4 (a JAPANESE game) that actually made it what it is today ^_^

the controls were better, i dont see anything wrong with the multiple locations and i cant find any contracditions with those characters. but i agree the codec felt empty, but it wasnt a major problem to be honest.
Message | Report
AnarchyWest posted 07/02/2010, 10:11
I said "westernized" not Americanized
-the controls were changed to model western preference (Mass Effect was used as a model)
-Much of the codec was removed
-Chapters and multiple locations
- more action oriented then stealth
-Contradictions on Naomi and Vamp and a little of Raiden
I think it was a good game still just my least favorite in the series

Ya Mei Ling's accent was gone in MGS4 as well as Naomi's accent. I didn't like that, but that is probably it along with the end of the boss fights.

true most of them are MGS2 fanboys but its also true that MGS4 fanboys hate MGS2 (I don't know why playing as Raiden really killed the game for some people)
I consider myself a hardcore MGS fan and I have to say I expected more from MGS4 (the theme wasn't as great as the previous installments) Peace Walker looks promising the presentation of the trailers says so
Im iffy about Rising though...Raiden is one of the characters in 4 that had the worst development and contradicted MGS2
