Kojima on Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection: Maybe on Next Xbox

It's been five years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 4. Surely that's enough time to see a release on the Xbox 360? Don't bet on it - Hideo Kojima has explained that it's not an issue with timed exclusives, more an issue with disc capacity.

In his online radio show, the producer said that there won't be an Xbox 360 version of the Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection, which includes Metal Gear Solid 4. Kojima isn't against the idea, he explained, but MGS4 is just too damn big for DVDs.

The radio show's co-host explains that porting the game over onto Microsoft's console would require around seven Xbox DVDs, compared to one 50GB Blu-ray disc. It really does sound like Kojima Productions used up most of the space on the PS3 media.

Kojima did suggest that a Legacy Collection release could hit the next Xbox, however. Microsoft's next-generation console is rumoured to use Blu-ray discs.

The currently PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection includes Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, HD versions of MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker, MGS4 Trophy Edition, the Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, and a bunch of Metal Gear digital graphic novels.

Kojima also confirmed that plans for a Zone of the Enders sequel have now been scrapped.
