The end of the third party exclusive game? OXM and PSM3 editors give their opinion on the increasing likelihood of Metal Gear Solid 4 heading to the Xbox 360 sometime soon.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.
I don't see how it can, but stranger things have happened. 50gb of data opposed to 7 gb of data??? That's a lot of disc, even with compression, guys.
I see a huge Downloaded chunk for the xbox360 maybe. Well, I don't even know that, I kind of don't see this happening but it could. As I said, stranger things have happened.
Sony needs to invest more on internal development and then, in turn, with 3rd parties to ensure their games look better than the xbox 360's versions and have more options. All there is to it, cause no one is going to justify a 200 and 300 dollar mark up to buy a Ps3 over a xbox 360 if they have the same games and more importantly, if they look better on the lesser system.
Just give us 360 gamers something new instead.
The PS3 can't catch a break
Patcher AND Kojima have stated many times that it is PS3 exclusive, that Blu-Ray is the only media that can hold it, that Kojima is a perfectionist and he will not let EVER ever everrrr his 50 GB of beautiful game (which even he said wasn't enough for his vision of perfectionism) onto a 7 GB DVD....
They've designed everyy aspect of MGS4 around the PS3's cell, Blu-ray, controls and such.
Patcher stated in that interview that was at temp 1080 on N4G that it will never appear on the 360 as it is only possible with Blu-Ray storage...
Finally, think rationally, if in ANYYYYYY way KOJIMA's game is not as good as the PS3 version, he will NOT, i repeat, WILL NOT develop it on the 360, and imagine that, he wants to get away from the franchise himself, and if they port it he will never allow it because the perfectionist he is will want, no NEED to make sure it is at the same level (which isn't possible without 7 cores and 50 GB of storage), and then they'd have to re-edit a lottt of content because there are a TON of jokes and jibes about the 'other' system in the game.
Unless Kojima dies or changes, I'd bet my left nut it won't come out on the 360. Konami wants it on the 360, but Kojima Productions have the final word.
and that's the way the cookie crumbles...........
Yeah and how is this "Konami's" MGS4?
Doesn't the game belong to the devs? lol
The title should read "Kojima Productions'" MGS4 etc. etc.
