LAST YEAR's Call of Duty sells about 30mil a year on Playstation alone, after this years one is out and does about 40+ in it's launch year. 5 mill ain't good for Playstation sales, and COD don't spend like 6 years rotoscoping real actors playing out every hour+ cut scene, and licensed faces for each release like Kojima does. That ain't cheap and 5 mil LIFETIME sales ain't gonna cut it. That's why Konami made him go multiplat after it, and sacked his ass for how long it took to make the next one (he wanted to release that phantom pain prequel thing as a free demo, but Knoami made them sell it to try and not go bankrupt over his bullshit.)

i was kind of agreeing with you until the end, there's no denying MGS4 is flawed, but let's be real MGS as a franchise is very flawed: 1. MGS1 is technically the third game in the series canonically since it follows up the MSX/NES games, which barely anyone played or even know about, yet the game is widely known as the first one in the series, instead of being called Metal gear 3 or something. 2. MGS2 bait and switch with raiden was received VERY poorly at the time, which made it one of the most infamous games in the series for a while. 3. MGS3 has some flaws itself and even retcons stuff from the lore. And finally there's MGS5, which could take an entire essay on it's own with the flaws it has both gameplay and *especially* storywise. Doesn't matter how flawed MGS4 is, people want to experience it since it's the last chapter of Solid Snake's story, if they like it or not depends on the individual.

@@Terror0619 part of the reason too was the insane amount of disks that it would require. Ps3 was running BluRay where as Xbox wasn't. It was something like 11 disks or some shit, would have been required to play it on xbox. Ps3 got exclusivity based on technological advancement of the ps3.

[@mandrews6282]

The developer stated in an interview later on that they actually had a 360 version working ‘beautifully’. It was Konami who didn’t want to produce a double disc for the XBox as it wouldn’t fit on one disc (but would for Sony’s Blue Ray format). And that much of the team was comprised of people who didn’t care for XBox and didn’t want to expend the effort on it thinking it wouldn’t run as well as the Ps3 (which seems kind of insane from a tech standpoint). Apparantly some multiplat fans in the company put it together and showed off a great version on XBox. So if it was running on the 360 it can absolutely be ported. Sony did get the exclusive without a deal in place. But it was not Kojima that chose not to put it there. Knowing Kojima he prob wanted everyone playing his game.

[@SSLegacy]

I am pretty sure that MGS 4 is coming in the next installment of the Master Collection. For one, it has been confirmed that they were able to get MGS 4 to run on Xbox 360 with no big technical issues. What stopped it was that the game would have been more than 2 discs since it was a DVD based format on Xbox 360 instead of Blu-Ray Format on PS3. Plus MGS 4 is featured in the Master Book included with each main entry in Volume 1. I would say that this alone seems to hint that work on porting MGS 4 is possibly already underway along with whatever games that will be included in Volume 2. Konami says on the Developer Message on the official MG sites that the Master Collection is going to be "The most complete compilation that celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the series", I doubt the canon entries won't get ported to the latest platforms. It is more possible that the more obscure games like Mobile, Touch, and Social Ops won't get ported. TTS probably won't get ported since it was made for the GameCube, and includes multiple Nintendo references that will prevent it from being ported.

Paused to type out my response to the final question: Yes, this game deserves to come out on modern hardware/PC. If there's even a small chance that by porting it to the new gen it'll receive more love, or the possibility to be a better recognized game in this day & age, MGS4 deserves that chance. The online could be another factor. MGO2 was unique as hell. It already has a popular dedicated fan base with the custom servers. Having easy access to it for consoles would be amazing. MGS4 deserves to be on modern consoles Edit: Man, how do you spend 19 minutes and 45 seconds building a video around a good, relatively objective point, just to drop the ball with that last part. The uniqueness of the game itself is the appeal to it. Even a casual audience can appreciate the mechanical differences in gameplay between 3 and 4. I mean, MGS1 and 2 aren't exactly a casual experience either, and yet it got the Master Collection treatment. I don't think casuals are gonna let a few cricks in the back stop them from getting to act 4 and the finale. How can you get so opinionated right at the end

[@sagarzazumikel]

Fun fact: The reason they added Apple products might have to do as a reference to the movie Independence Day. Why? The voice actor for Major Zero in MGS3 is the British RAF officer that orders an attack on the mothership in the movie. The movie was directed by Roland Emmerich (whom Kojima is a huge fan of). What was Otacon's name again? He tries too hard looking like Jeff Goldblum using that MacBook. Many of the Japanese voice actors of MGS4 also took part on two Emmerich movies: Independence Day and 1999's Godzilla. Bonus fact: The reason why Snake copies the same scene of Riggs trying to end his life in Lethal Weapon? Kojima loved the movies so much, he made the protagonists from Policenauts, Jonathan and Ed, look after Riggs and Murtaugh from the movies.

To comment on what you said about regarding MGS4 being a game that would be hard to port / too poorly optimized to port properly: Metal Gear Arcade was created by Konami in 2010 which is literally just Metal Gear Online 2 (multiplayer component of MGS4) but with arcade elements. This version of the game runs on x86 architecture using a Windows XP Embedded OS environment. When running this game you have to limit the FPS because of how well it runs on modern hardware (hundreds of frames per second) which ends up breaking the game if not turned down. Metal Gear Arcade was made around the following hardware: CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66GHz) GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1 GB) (102C0100200 000001) RAM: 2 x Micron MT8JTF12864AZ-1G1F1 (DDR3, PC3-8500, 1GB) OS: Windows XP Embedded (SP2) SND: Realtek ALC887 (HD Audio) It would be no problem for Konami to bring MGS4 over to modern systems, it's just a matter of if they can be bothered to do so, because they *already* have an x86 port made of the engine.

Most licences in MGS4 are not too hard to remove. Ipod is as simple as turning it to an MP3 player and change the UI of the ipod to a generic MP3 player and remove the ipod logo. Its getting rid of all the PS3 stuff that is the real hassle as loads of it are in game. They even use a PS3 controller to move the mkII and the PS3 six axis is a core mechanic of the game. Not an issue if they redo the lines and just call it motion controls. Though does the Xbox even have motion controls? and how will that work on the PC. They would have to cut entire lines about the bluray, PS3 and remove the PS3 and other sony models from custcenes which might mess stuff up.

The only reason changes were made in the trilogy was because they couldnt find the rights holders. They renewed ALL other licenses in those games and some were pretty significant. Also some of the products were ads so they paid or had other partnerships like commercials outside the game. Apple might be the biggest case here. Also MGS4 accessible on PC is one of my most anticipated games and I'd pay $60 for it day one. They also just made advancements with CPUs that can emulate the cell architecture of the PS3 very recently. A huge step for emulation. Not just the CPU working so hard that it can overcome the advantages of the cell architecture, but actually mimic it's intent

Feel lucky to still own this disc and have it installed on ps3. The cutscenes are amazing as a movie alone. I wondered if half the reason this game is locked on ps3 is due to copyright issues with Apple, Regain, Sony Ericcson etc and the some of the music it featured maybe?

[@Yeshua_is-Cool]

Most likely but just cut them out or change them

[@Zero-kd6bz]

The game was exclusive to ps3 because porting it to xbox would mean putting it on more than 3 discs. There was no deal in place. Only 2 cutscenes are pre rendered in the game. The reason why it was only on ps3 is because only the ps3 could run the game. Your video is full of misinformation.

[@D3monL3A1]

Just play the game jaguar stop calling it bad its not. You look bad by stating such bullshit, your better than that.

[@Metallumnigrummortis]

Yeah this is a new low for ole Jag. May not seem like it, many not feel like it. It's like damn bro now I know how you really feel.

[@whynologin]

19:12 "You might think you want this game but in reality you might not." "You think you do, but you don't." 😀

[@Superman72185]

Emulating it is a real pain 😮 why? Lots of space needed! Hours to download and unzip! Rpcs3 has to load the textures at 1st for quite awhile! Powerful pc needed

[@tapetwo7115]

Remove the iPod Remove the mgs1 emulator flashback Remove apple branding Recompress the opening video sequences Remove the codec call about Blu-ray discs And now mgs4 works cross platform MGS2 substance skateboarding was overlooked MGS3 undead slasher nightmare mini game was overlooked Just a few more

[@RaewCZ]

Yeah, that's pretty easy fix for brand content. Death stranding already did that with monster energy drinks. I'm pretty sure other games did it too

[@toothy_efoa]

and it's not like it's integral to the experience of the game or anything, it's been a good few years since i've played or watched MGS4 so I don't remember what the MGS1 emulator flashback is, but if it is important i'm sure they could find a way around it

[@Yeshua_is-Cool]

Why would you get rid of the mgs 1 emulator flashback that's so stupid

[@captainthunderbolt7541]

A lot of scenes would have to be re-rendered in engine to remove product placement or else leave gaming holes in the game's narrative. I can't see Konami doing that.

“I guess that what happen when you hire an incompetent developer”. I don’t agree, for me, given that’s Konami, it’s more about the company culture. It’s not fair to pin it on the developers.

[@steelekratos4834]

It'll be remastered or remade, that's it.

[@netyn]

up to the 18 minute mark it was and ok video - nothing more. After it - a flawed mess. Like I get it that you don’t like the game and it’s perfectly fine, but as some people have already stated, you are trying to show that it’s an objectively bad game and nobody even wants to play it, which of course is entirely untrue and it definitely isn’t “the TRUTH”. It’s just your opinion.

[@hrgaming4plebs570]

Kinda hope it gets a remake remaster like how FF7 Crisis Core was handled, completely new engine and graphics but same core gameplay and story

[@wearenotundone]

you were doing so well, until you called MGS4 bad.

[@comicsamsthegreat]

I get your point about day 1 sales but with modern digital storefronts there tends to be a longer trail of purchases after launch, I could see the long term sales being pretty good depending on what platforms it launches on

[@matthewshelton8632]

PS3's are like 50 bucks, and MGS4 is about 5 bucks. So it's not like it's locked away forever...

[@CharaGonzalez-lt7yw]

I'd love to see the like to dislike ratio on this one

[@aadipie]

Exclusive Games that took full potential of the PS3 like the last of us, uncharted and god of war 3 made it to current gen platforms, it’s not the technical impossibility which is a problem, it’s more so the financial investment to get it properly ported to modern hardware considering the licensing issues. Konami should make it happen since it’s an essential title in the franchise though. Thank you for discussing these points in the video Jag. Really well made. I would honestly buy it day one, I love the game and if done well playing it at a smooth 60fps at 1080p or 4K would be a dream.

[@sethpayne5532]

I personally adore MGS4

[@aquilafasciata5781]

$40 is not an expensive game nowadays. I’ve never played MGS4. I wouldn’t buy it day one, but that’s just because I’m broke.

[@Ratselmeister]

You can get the console for 50 Bucks and the game for 5 maybe ten ;) recommend ps3 and ps2 for all broke gamers... Such a great libery of gams to discover!😊

[@weeurey]

I gave video a dislike, here is why. The whole thing abour the game being impossible to port is utter tripe. It eas ported to PC for MGO:Arcade and Vita for a tech demo, it CAN be done, im glsd you didnt repeat the "impossible" line that others do. As for the licenced content, I really doubt that apple would charge anywhere close to 50m, apple products still apear everywhere on TV snd film, i garantee Modern Family didn't pay 50m! And anyways if had access to the MGS source i could get rid of all those references in less than a day, its really NOT a hard task. Before anyone replies sayinf "how would you know your not a dev", I am. Ive neen a software engineer for 5 years. As for not needing to port the game because it's "bad" thay argument is absolutely rubbish, that is 100% your OPINION not fact. You are entitled to it but why are you presenting it as a fact that "even knoami know"? Like it or not MGS4 is the ending to Solid Snakes story and thr franchise as a whole, why should we leave it to rot on ps3? Its an integral part of the story.

[@D-MF-L]

Bet $20 this dude has never played it beginning to end. But he has to watch a friend of a friend play it while he “doesn’t smoke or drink” in the background and dreams of being a KZbinr who shits on games he googled “who else hates the game [title]”

[@KusunekoBrainless]

I don't have a Great Laptop to emulate MGS4, So I would KILL to play it on my Switch or PS5

[@TheVisitorSNAFU]

The issue is licensing agreements between Playboy, Apple and 1 million different other companies and it wasn’t on the 360 because it would’ve been on 5 disks. Also most of these Kojima is at fault for most of these issues.

[@DarthReggie]

The firearms themselves aren't lisenced but the issue is now the companies will want money you using their names its why cod as of late doesn't use real weapon names anymore so if they re-released mgs4 they would probably need to change the names of at of the guns I think

[@Registole]

Really good video man, you're spot on on a lot of this.

[@gradient602]

You had my thumbs up until you bashed on the game. you aren't a hardcore Metal Gear fan (yes Metal Gear no MGS) if you don't get why Snake being old isn't a other. It's Solid Snake's last ride. The culmination and end of the Saga. There were not supposed to be subsequent games, this was supposed to be the final installment. Kojima did not was to further the series, Konomi forced him to. For those like me where Metal Gear on NES was our first game, this was our long wait to get a Solid Snake game, we had to endure the tease of being able to play a full game as him through MGS2 and MGS3. This was our long awaited awaited opus to play our beloved character. Your "sad ugly truth" was many people's long awaited treasure.

[@tonyhinojosa666]

Yes, I want this game to be ported. $40-60 be damned, fans will pay for this.

[@doomslayer9138]

Konami should call nightdive to do this remaster

[@Nepgearaf]

Nothing but love for Nightdive, but we still haven't even gotten System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition yet. Not to mention that SH2:EE isn't even a full remake or remaster.

[@juanex721]

this video was excellent until you have to screw it up with the last 5 mins ...that you and your personal circle of friends "dont really see the value on unlocking the game for modern hardware" is not the GLOBAL concensus of this matter.....if you go to X and make a survey in how many people want this game to be unlocked, you will really eat your words....."YES" is the universal response at your stupid question, duh.

[@gorofujita5767]

Video starts at 05:47

[@nader91]

9:24 i fail to see how the duration of porting would be a negative? 14 months or 28 months, at least the game is or was being ported. this is just a silly excuse... but you are right on the money regarding licensed content in video games. it does more harm than good.

[@DJPUPPETMASTER-RESURRECTED-]

BEAST

[@hotdoglover1573]

MGS4 is the perfect ending to the series.

[@RaewCZ]

I still have PS3 and mgs 4, so no .. I don't need to buy it day one

[@dg6645]

Your conclusions are exactly my thoughts with the rest of the mgs games. I love them, I played them at least a thousand hours when i was younger, but now that they are accesible in modern platforms, i've just completed mgs2 and barely played mgs1 and 3. I'd love to see mgs4 on modern platforms for the same reasons, i'm tired of having my ps3 plugged just for mgs4

[@rhythmandacoustics]

They will remake it just like MGS Delta.

[@failspencer4501]

First of all, it's METAL GEAR NOT METRLE GREA. please pronounce it correctly

[@BlossomField91]

The licenced stuff, which ages the game more than anything else, is part of the charm. Nothing screams 2008 like iPods (even though it's set in 2014 and pretty much no one was using iPods/MP3 players by then because everyone had smartphones by that point - a pretty common problem with stuff set in the 'near future'), a character creaming his pants over Blu Ray discs, etc.

[@itsgregoire7175]

I got a PS3 and later a beast of a PC in order to emulate it. I love this game and I want everyone to play it

[@La_Raza]

Send me your PS3 with MGS4, and I'll play with all my heart 😂🔥

[@itsgregoire7175]

@@La_Raza I can stream you the game emulated ! At this point my pc runs mgs4 better than a ps3 mgs 4 runs like shit on original software

[@DJPUPPETMASTER-RESURRECTED-]

I get the fact that its up to Konami on wether or not to renew the licenses but I think they should remove them completely just to rerelease the game,And yes I would definetly buy the game Day 1 without a doubt,I already own the game on the PS3 and would be more than happy to see it finally leave the PS3 prison and jump to modern platforms and PC and I cant wait to fully experience this game on PC with mouse and keyboard support

Yes I need MGS4 even a port
