MGS5 will likely be multiplatform especially with all the drama MGS4 had with going multiplatform.

I would not be surprised if ubisoft isn't already on the PS3 version of conviction. There is no need not to plus PS3 owners buy games now so it would just be their loss by not making it multiplat. Splinter cell is not a strong enough franchise to sell like MGS so multiplat is their best option.

APB as well since Microsoft has dropped publishing rights when you look at how well GTA4 did on PS3 its sort of hard to ignore multiplatform release.

Long story short most games from 3rd party will be multiplat

sushipoop5642d ago

MGS5? Nooooooo I wanted Zone of the Enders 3 first. WTF

BananaSlug5642d ago

it is quite possible Kojima is dedicated to making ZOE3 or something new while the MGS4 team is making MGS5 with some Kojima oversight

CloudsEnd5642d ago

I never knew N4G has a fcking Forum!?!

theEnemy5642d ago

If this rumor is true, then the "drama" you are talking about that MGS4 will be ported to the 360 is completely dead.

I don't see why would Kojima Productions (Especially Hideo Kojima) would make MGS5 multi-plat when MGS4 had a huge success and made lots of MGS and PlayStation fans very happy being a PS3 Exclusive ?

And technically speaking, I don't see them making all the trouble on porting MGS4 or MGS5 to the 360.

They created a very good engine when they created MGS4 to the PS3, and since the PS3 and the 360 are hugely different to program, it will only make them do more work.

BiggDaddy3115642d ago

If they don't port 4 I don't see any reason to make 5 a multi-plat game. I mean sure it could ship a few extra copies on 360 but it is a game where you really need to understand the story. If they are starting the story from scratch then I could see it being multi-plat. We will have to see. Lets wait for an offical annoucement.

sonarus5642d ago

MGS4 sold so well on the PS3 because it was THE PS3 game to get. With more PS3 games coming out. GT5, God of War 3, Killzone 2 MGS5 simply cannot stand as strong. Their best option is to get MGS5 working on 360

Socom5642d ago

Octacon: "hey wait Snake, its time to change the disc"

Snake: "what?"
Octacon: "oh we are USING BLU RAY"

MGS5 is PS3 exclusive and you can just suck it.
MGS4 is a 5 million seller and MGS5 will top this because they are finally done with the weakest link in MGS story (being MGS2) and now they are no longer bound by MGS2 continuation.

And seeing how MGS3 how miles and leaps above MGS2, I expect MGS5 to be miles and leaps ahead of MGS4 (how is that even possible).

Splinter cell coming to PS3 hahaha. Another 360 "exclusive" coming to PS3. Man, is there any reason to purchase a 360 at all?

fishd5642d ago

Just give me MGS5,and I'll be happy,multiplat,exclusive,with out platform!,just give it to me

BananaSlug5642d ago

i believe the disc joke was more of a ps1 reference rather than a console war reference

pwnsause5642d ago

MGS5 (if it exists) going Multi-platform isnt Kojima's Decision, its an executive Decision from Konami.

BattleAxe5642d ago

Every MGS game has gotten bigger and better, so what it all boils down to is how big is MGS5 going to be and do they want to put it on 6 discs to bring it to the XBOX 360.

Milky Joe5641d ago

@ Sonarus 1.7:

You do know that MGS5, if work HAS just begun on it, will not be out for another 3 years. The examples you provided will be completely irrelevant by then.

Sarcasm5641d ago

By the time MGS5 comes out, we'll all be drooling over a PS4 or already playing an Xbox "3"

Mainman5641d ago

Kojima doesnt do Multi-plat, that is just not Koji style. It will definately be platform exclusive.

The chances are it will be PS3 exclusive but you'll never know. But what is certain is it will be a platform exclusive.

mikeslemonade5641d ago

If anything MGS4 would be multiplatform. If MGS5 is multiplatform it will be for PS3 and Xbox 720 becuase there's noway in hell 360 can handle MGS5 once PS3's cell archetecture be figured out in 4 years when the game supposedly comes out.

APB and SC orignally were not going to PS3 because somehow they thought PS3 would take off and now PS3 isn't as hard to develop for and has the install base they will make the games for PS3. Bye Bye exclusvies because Microsoft has only one 1st party developer.

phosphor1125641d ago

MGS4 = full bluray disc.
bluray = 50 gigs
dvd 9 = 9 gigs - 1 gig for MS's bullshit info that is mandatory on each disc

50 / 8 = 6.25 + reused data (models / textures, etc) = atleast 7 DVD's in my book. Proove me wrong?

MGS5 wont go on anything other than ps3.
Conviction is bound to go on PS3 since Ubi loves money. Why else would it have taken so long???

BLuKhaos5641d ago

The thing is MGS4 is a niche game so why port it?

pain777pas5640d ago

Kojima is the real deal he's another Jaffe type hate or love him he just speaks his mind. SC conviction going multiplat would explain the immense delay in release of the game and since when did UBiSoft make exclusive games?

tortella5642d ago (Edited 5642d ago )

since 2009 sees PS3 overtaking the console war as a victor with awesome games and price cuts

MGS5 might or might not be ps3 exclusive

However since MGS4 has already sold over 4.3m copies worldwide there is a definite possibility that MGS5 could indeed be PS3 exclusive

anyway it will be on ps3 regardless and with so many AAA ps3 1st party exclusives in 2009 and beyond i wouldnt mind if MGS5 is multiplat

SC conviction and APB will be on PS3 no doubt since 2008 is x360's probable last year in console war and PS3 will be crushing competition in 2009

even at 3x the price it outsells x360 in many parts of the world except UK and US

"U should rename yourself as 3FIX ME man cuz 2m x360s are without warantees as we speak.U better fix them for free."

ROFLMAO!!!

CloudsEnd5642d ago

Thanks guys bubbles for you all!

N4PS3G5642d ago

Tortella / Sushipoop is the same guy

Kinda sad how he quotes himself and laughs .....get some help

anyways... its cool if SC:conviction goes multiplat..my only worry is that Splinter Cell games are getting weaker every time :S

Mgs4 was awesome! can't wait for 5

any ways ..this rumors are not very reliable...they said that Left 4 Dead was coming to ps3 , that sony was going to announce a sexy game game a TGS, and that Kingdom Hearts 3 was going to be shown for the ps3 at TGS .....and actually..none of those made it

but...can't wait to see the direction MGS5 is going :D

If you think I'm tortella you're a retard. Ask an administrator.

demoneyeslaharl5642d ago

I wish they'd keep MGS5 as exclusive. Or at least dedicated to the PS3 platform. That way, we can assure good quality for either PS3ers or 360ers.

CloudsEnd5642d ago

Aslong there is Kojima there will only be Playstation and GBA/NDS Games.

ViceKingz5642d ago

you remember when rumours floated about mgs4 on 360? there was constant bickering whether or not 360 can handle mgs4? now i dont know if it can or cant, but if mgs5 makes further improvements the chances of a 360 version would be slim. unless of course theres mutli discs, its always a possibility.

all in all, im hoping mgs stays ps3 exclusive. its been pretty much ps series except for the first metal gear and a few of the subsistence ones.

demoneyeslaharl5641d ago

I actually think the 360 can handle MGS4. DVD cannot though. I'm sure the 360 version may not be as good looking as the one we have, but it'll still be playable. The problem is, as I stated, is the blu-ray capacity trumping DVD9, plus the fact that MGS4 is based on the Ps3 architecture, which may become a problem for the 360 (maybe... not really sure).

As a gamer, I wish the 360 only gamers can experience MGS4. As a gamer as well, I hope MGS5 will keep itself on the PS3 (or at least developed on the system) to ensure high quality.

Miraak82 5642d ago (Edited 5642d ago )

That's like taking Metal Gear 3 steps back if they go multi-platform, now we see a 9 disc box set for the 360 for 1 game LOOOOL, I highly doubt it will be , the franchise has stood high proudly being an exclusive to PS. MG has been a game that pushed the limits, and only with the ps3 will the limit be reached

TheDesperado5642d ago

They wouldn't want to downgrade the sequel to the joint GOTY (LBP is the second one) by seriously holding it back with a 360 lowest common denominator version.

And of course SC Conviction and APB are coming to PS3. Investors behind ABP like money, and Ubisoft makes the most money out of all consoles on PS3.
360 just keeps bleeding, keeps keeps bleeding exclusives
/song

Mr_President_5642d ago

Yup. APB and Splintercell are just 2 more 360 exclusives making their way to the PS3. Next up are Gears 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3 and Star Ocean 4.

Watch Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell Games Enhanced for Xbox One X in Action

Microsoft presented a new batch of Xbox 360 games that received Xbox One X enhancements via Xbox One backward compatibility, and here you can watch how they run.

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351844d ago (Edited 1844d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231844d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351844d ago (Edited 1844d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011844d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351844d ago (Edited 1844d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931843d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011843d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1844d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1844d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1843d ago
Movefasta19931843d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811843d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1844d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

1843d ago
1843d ago
Movefasta19931843d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011843d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811843d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1843d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2133d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222133d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002133d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2133d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2133d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322133d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2133d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2133d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."
