1UP: Kojima Says Wait a Few More Weeks For Big Reveal

1UP writes: "At the Spike TV Video Game Awards this past weekend, we had a brief moment to speak with Hideo Kojima as he walked down the red carpet. Obviously, the big thing on our minds was the next Metal Gear game that he recently teased. Not surprisingly, he didn't reveal anything new at all, but he did say that it's just a matter of weeks until we find out what it is. Given the timing -- a few weeks happens to be around the start of the new year -- this could indicate some sort of exclusivity window has expired on Metal Gear Solid 4, meaning an Xbox 360 version could then be announced (which was one of the common assumptions from the tease, given that its letters were all green). Or, the timing has little significance and it just happens to be when he'll reveal a Metal Gear Game for iPhone or DSi (another common assumption thanks to the "i" in the tease message). Either way, we'll know soon enough."

Leave it to 1up to write the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Hey PS3 owners, go check out the power button on your PS3. It's the same symbol and when powered up, the light changes from red to green.

My PC has the same symbol. Many other hardware products have the SAME SYMBOL.

MGS4 for my stereo system confirmed.

Lord Anubis5603d ago

darn it you beat me to it. Anywho, you know when a fanboy is running the site when you read what you quoted. There should be no doubt now as to how 1up rolls.

ReTarDedFisHy5603d ago

The most logical explanation for that teaser is a new AC!D game for the iPhone or the DSi. Hence the "i"s and "!". The power button... not sure why people are thinking so much about that. It's the universal icon for power. The green, however, may just be a color ;)

Dawn_Of_Ashes5603d ago

OH SHI- Mgs4 for my 7.1 sound system, i really cant wait!

vickers5005603d ago

Meh. Who cares anymore? 360 owners can have it. I think they at least deserve one other good game besides Gears of War.

Megaton5603d ago

Metal Gear Logitech confirmed.

Max Power5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

let them have the game. After all the bashing that has come from the majority of xbox fans on this site, i would like'em to experience it themselves for the system they like.

cayal5603d ago

I don't want them to have it just for the fact the fanboys will be unbearably annoying to the point I may just have to kill myself.

thebudgetgamer5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

it would suddenly go from a boring movie to the greatest game ever

:)

did i hurt someones feelings

:(

gamesmaster5603d ago

I think its abit unlikely that its a 360 version of the game, but look what happened with FFXIII! that hit us out of the blue. i'd say its a new portable game or trophies or something. if mgs goes multiplat (which i doubt it will) i think they would announce it at GDC or any other upcoming games event.

just get a ps3 and play the game if you want it bad, thats what us mgs fans did.

ultimolu5603d ago

No, it's on my PC!

MGS4 for the PC confirmed!

(shakes head in amazement at 1up's stupidity)

UltimateIdiot9115603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

All of you are wrong, it's for betamax.

Tubby McNutsack5603d ago

MGS4 for my HP printer confirmed.

CViper5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

Whats with all the constant BUZZ around it coming to the 360 then? No one CLEARLY wants it since MGS4's graphics suck well.. compared to the holy Gears. Gears has better gameplay as well..And online.

But yeah, im really confused nowb ecause the only new news in 2008 has been the 360's ability to play Netflix, and watch movies with 7 other people? and buying the PS3's 'movie' games.

I'm just looking forward to how many DVD's its going to be on, and if they will remove the joke about switching discs?

DailyAddict5603d ago

You know what else is in a few weeks? CES and MacWorld, both of which involve mobile products. Wonder if that has any significance or if 1up just forgot about that entirely.

sonarus5603d ago

Calling 1up fanboys based on their speculation is a bit extreme. MGS4 going to 360 would be far bigger news than a new acid so its natural for them to speculate on that first and fanboyism aside MGS4 is by far the most coveted PS3 game. You can call it a movie from now till the end of time but no other PS3 game makes 360 owners jealous like MGS4.

I think the DSi iphone thing and it going to 360 are about 50/50...both make sense. If it happens though expect an announcement possible at GDC an announcement like that would be big for microsoft and expect them to do everything they can to draw as much attention to this as possible.

TruthBTold5603d ago

They are gonna make a universal MGS game which you can play with every single gadget you find that has the power symbol, Hideo you are a geniousssss.... LOL.

GUNS N SWORDS5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

but................what if it does :?

i mean i never thought that bioshock and FF13 would trade places so......what if it does happen.

(and i already know the amount of tongue lashing people would say to it, but that is not to say that konami never did it, i liked twin snakes and snake's guest appearance in super smash bros :)

JasonXE5603d ago

I hope not or else my ps3 purchase would be for nothing. Only thing I would of bought it for was then lbp and blu ray which does NOT look better than HD DVD. WKc scores lows and other games that im not interested in other than a new TEAM ICO game. luckily I got my ps3 for 269 or else i would of been piss.

AAACE55603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

MS said they will have some surprising announcements in early 2009, and now Kojima is saying wait a few weeks for a big announcement... Makes me wonder!

I'll probably just get MGS 4 on Ps3 but if it did come to 360 somehow, it would be good for people who won't have a Ps3.

Hm,do xbox 360 only owners want MGS4 :) ?

Snake Raiser5603d ago

They can't resist snake's new sneaking suit!

DaTruth5603d ago

No, they do not, it is a stupid movie and not a game. (Waits for the whole internet to crash under the rumor). Please, stop toying with 360 fanboys emotions.

Max Power5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

'stop toying with their emotions' or something like that, in the same "breath" call it a movie and not a game is confusing.

dkp235603d ago

MGS4 coming to xbox wouldnt matter to me personally...I stopped playing MGS after 2 because of the short gameplay and no replay value..It took me about 10 hours to beat each of the first two games which was the reason why I did not get MGS3 and had no interest in 4, For me..it wouldnt matter....

Only game that mattered to me was FFXIII coming to xbox, that game was the only reason I would get a ps3 and since its not exclusive, I dont have to buy the ps3 anymore...But after seeing the Versus Trailer, that might change my mind...

40cal5603d ago

I doubt it. But if it was to happen they would have to reprogram a lot of the game. Like the Insert disc 2 now, oh wait there is no disc 2 because this is PS3 part and the PS3 controller Snake uses to control the MKII.

Anyways congrats to Kojima, he cleaned up at the VGA's.

Give me Metal Gear Solid 5 for the PS3 or a new Metal Gear for PSP, or even a new IP all together.

miniduf15603d ago

Yes!, MGS4 and Uncharted 2 are the two PS3 games I really want to play. I love my 360 but man MGS4 looks sweet.

grantps35603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

people are jumping to conclusions

but.....

i would rather it was mgs4 on 360 than mgs5 on it...about 95 % of people who would have bought it already bought it for the ps3....and the game isnt one that a casual or a new person usualy will just pick up. but if its a new mg game then it would sell like crack....

if mgs5 was multiplat that would be okay, just not 360 exclusive

Max Power5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

you yourself mentioned how a "95%" fans got the 4th on the ps3, so why would they release another metal gear exclusively for the 360 when they know they will get great sales on the ps3?

sinny5603d ago

I doubt Kojima would spend time ot make a port of MGS4 to X360.
He has said many time that he want to do new games so i think this announcement is going to be a small project , like a portable ac!d or something. And then next year he is going to announce the big game he is making ( a fps maybe ).

cayal5603d ago

Never mind the FACT Kojima said it was staying PS3 exclusive and he is sick of being asked about it being moved to the 360.

Snake Raiser5603d ago

BIG BOSS here, and I would like to thank "Ghost of Sparta" in the gamer zone for the following observation that will hopefully get others to stfu..

"... this could indicate some sort of exclusivity window has expired on Metal Gear Solid 4, meaning an Xbox 360 version could then be announced (which was one of the common assumptions from the tease, given that its letters were all green)".

Leave it to 1up to write the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Thank you Ghost of Sparta, bubbles to you.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

rlow19h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades1h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno3h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken42m ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn2h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

Tacoboto3h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC12h ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC10h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer11h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60210h ago(Edited 10h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya9h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde8h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP30m ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx8h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro16h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B14h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218314h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh13h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia13h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins13h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal13h ago

The first game was the best imo.
