The 360 missed out on very few games compared to the next two consoles. Since Sony shit the bed with the PS3 many of their third party exclusives went multiplat outside of a few holdouts as I recall.

To be honest, I got a PS3 to play MGS4, then sold it again within 6 months or so.
Was having too much fun with uni housemates on the 360 with Halo 3, Gears, Ghost Recon and CoD splitscreen going online as a group or doing co-op to spend that much time in a single-player film.
MGS1 is one of my favourite ever games, truly a special moment in my gaming life, MGS2 I completed on the day of release (pulling a sick day from school to do so) but then MGS3 I began to lag a bit.
MGS4 Iād had enough of the endless cutscenes and Kojimaās weird almost-preaching - it was taking me longer to watch it than I was playing it, and it wasnāt just because it was single player as we all played through Mass Effect multiple times, GTA, Test Drive Unlimited etc.
Sold the PS3 later that year, got MGS5 when it came out on Xbox as PS mates were raving about it - I found it OK but similar issues to 4, and it basically played like a slightly slicker Splinter Cell or AC with guns, and again had Kojimaās āanti-war but with gunsā confused messaging and by now the story was getting impossible to follow.
So despite being a massive fan of Metal Gear Solid, Iāve avoided the remaster as itās minimal effort and I donāt want to ruin my childhood like I did with Goldeneye (was a very āwow I thought this was amazing graphics?! And the controls are shocking!ā moment) - while MGS4 while I do hope they free it from the PS3 Iām really not sure Iāve got the energy to sit through it againā¦
Maybe Iām older and more patient now, weāll see!
Do you happen to have played Twin Snakes on GameCube? I actually really enjoy it except for the cutscenes from Ryuhei Kitamura that are sometimes too much over the top for my liking. Really wonder if weāll also get that version in a future volume.
Unfortunately not, I never had the GameCube and whenever I was round my mateās who did we were too busy Double Dashing lol
Interesting - when he says āof any of the showsā does he mean video game adaptations or other Amazon-made shows, do you know?
(Thinking it must be the former given the insane cost of The Rings of Power!)
Glad to see itās going to be high quality - some other adaptations have suffered from lack of budget so Iām interested to see what they do.
(And Iām really hoping Halo season 2 doing so well means itāll get a big budget for next series so we can get even more big battles 
)
Itās a slightly out of context quote from the article. Saying out of those awarded grants itās the biggest budget one.
The California Film Commission announced Monday that it has awarded $152 million in tax incentives to a dozen TV shows.
The list also includes two shows from Ryan Murphy, āDr. Odysseyā on ABC and āGrotesquerieā on FX, as well as āNCIS: Origins,ā a prequel show due out next season on CBS.
āFalloutā has the largest budget of any of the shows, at $153 million in qualified expenditures for the season. The first season was produced mostly in New York, with some filming in Utah.

Iām still cautiously optimistic about the Fallout show, but it does all sound rather good!
Oh man, imagine if they had had a game to go alongside it. The wait for one is going to be painful. How I wish they had a dedicated studio for Fallout spin off games. We all know Todd wants to make the mainline ones.
