Great, now when the hell are we gonna get ports of MGS [preferably twin snakes, but both would be great,] MGS 4 and all the other games we're still missing?Wednesday, July 13, 2022 @ 02:08 PM
Sorry but I don't think you'll ever see MGS4 on Xbox.Wednesday, July 13, 2022 @ 02:14 PM
@Akinokaze Probably never. I really can’t see them ever bringing them over to Xbox. There’s still apparently an MGS1 remake in the works though so that’ll probably hit Xbox. I’d want the original MGS over Twin Snakes anyway because first person completely breaks the game and makes it way too easy, especially with the tranq gun.
You can still get MGS1 on PC, though. MGS4 is playable on the PS3 emulator as well but can be a bit rocky. That’s your only hope other than picking up a PS3

Konami has announced that it is preparing to resume the sale of previously delisted Metal Gear Solid titles, as Metal Gear celebrates its 35th anniversary.
Last year, several versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater were delisted across multiple digital storefronts, due to expired licenses for some of the historical archive footage used in both games. Konami said it was working on renewing the licenses, but in the months since, we heard nothing. Today, the official Japanese Twitter account for Metal Gear celebrated the franchise's 35th anniversary, and announced that it was preparing to bring these titles back to digital storefronts.
“The Metal Gear series released on July 13, 1987 and celebrated its 35th anniversary today,” tweeted the official Metal Gear Japan account. “We are preparing to resume sales of titles that have been temporarily suspended.”
For Xbox users, this specifically affected the Xbox 360 compilation of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3, which was removed from the Microsoft Store. But you can see the full list of games affected down below.
