The Next Metal Gear Will Not Be As Epic (If Multiplatform)

"Where would video games be without good old Solid Snake? Snake's gruff exterior, perfectly voiced by David Hayter, has entered the annals of gaming consciousness. Seriously, what other character in gaming could rock a cardboard box harder than Konami's super spy? Mr. Hideo Kojima's anime influenced sneaking series have had enthralled modern gamers since the early days of PSone. The Metal Gear Solid franchise created an entire sub-genre in action gaming paving the way for other such franchises as Splinter Cell."

as a ps3 fan, and an MGS lover, i will not support one of sonys biggest mascots if it did leap over to the 360...you will get a rent from me, and thats it

[Elven6]

Metal Gear Solid has been on non Sony platforms in the past, infact the last generation saw MGS grace its presence on 3/4 consoles.

Edit: Technically 4 if you count Bleem! for the Dreamcast.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

We're talking about the main series here, not the spin-offs or the remakes. If MGS5 ends up as a DVD I swear to god I wouldn't buy it. MGS4 nearly took up an entire Blu-ray disc (dual-layered) and still, Hideo Kojima complained about storage. It'll be disgrace to all the fans and before you tell me I'm not a true fan, I stood in line for over 20 hours waiting for Hideo Kojima to sign my original copy of Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation 1. MGS4 sold over 4 million copies worldwide. This wouldn't be business, it'd be selling out.

[earwax]

passed off as a game?

[XLiveGamer]

"We're talking about the main series here, not the spin-offs or the remakes. If MGS5 ends up as a DVD I swear to god I wouldn't buy it"

So that mean you are not a fan of the series just a console brand brain washed fan.
-----------------------------
Anyway can somebody answer this without BS. Can Xbox360 be like PC games where a game come in (example) 3 discs or 4 and you install all 4 on the HDD and just with the 1st play the game?

So a metal Gear on Wii its a downgraded experience?
The problem on this so over hyped Next-Gen is that almost everybody now put Graphics 1st and Game play 2nd but in PS2 almost everybody was like "The most important thing is gameplay and a variety of games" Bunch of Mother Fu#$%@% !!!

[sonarus]

FVCK YOU NON SUPPORTERS

Exclusive or multiplatform a good game is a good game

[pwnsause]

he meant he doesn't want a downgraded experience. going from MGS4(BD) to MGS5 (DVD9) is not how Kojima rolls.

[FarEastOrient]

If you watched the presentation, Kojima-san did say that for him to release a Metal Gear game the system it is going to be on has to be an improvement over the previous. The gamecube for example is technically better than the PS1 which is why you got that graphical improvement there.

PS2 is an improvement compared to the gamecube and PSX so he moved on to that system. This is the reason why we haven't seen one released for the Wii and according to his philosophy we will not see one for the Xbox 360 because it is a step backwards when compared to the PS3.

Another example is that iPhone is better than the current models of the DS and PSP.

I Like how someone disagrees even though I was in the theater during his presentation and that is exactly how he plans on executing his projects.

[sonarus]

Quite frankly i don't think any other MGS game this generation can match up to MGS4 so regardless of exclusive or multiplatform.

If he decides to make one for PS4 or Xbox 3/720 then thats a different story. However if there is an MGS5 in the works, the fact that its on 360 won't make it any worse. The fact that Kojima may not be making it probably will make it worse.

[solidsnakus]

lol, you guys are retarded. so now because your GETTING the game as well as some other people, your not buying it anymore? come on now, its just childish. if they were to stop making it on ps3 and only make it on 360 that be something to be pissed off about.

[Dragun619]

Honestly, I don't the next MGS will be multiplatform because of what Kojima is trying to achieve with his vision as quoted

"When we first showed the game engine at Tokyo Game Show, the staff were really proud and happy. PS3 was a dream machine, y'know, and we were going to work on this and that - we had so many ideas. But when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today. The original vision was to go ten steps further, the reality was just one step, which isn't to say we didn't progress."

Hell, He even stated that blu ray wasn't enough for him
http://kotaku.com/362807/ko...
He used a 50gb blu ray for MGS4 and he doesn't have enough space? How would that even work with Xbox360 if it can't even keep up with some games such as Rage and Red Fraction and the fact that it uses DVD's.
You would need like 4-5 discs for MGS4 on xbox360 and thats probably when the whole games compressed.

Red Fraction Guerrilla pushed the xbox360 to its limits
http://gamer.blorge.com/200...

Rage Will Look Worse on 360 Due to Compression
http://www.shacknews.com/on...

Kojima likes to improve his games sepecially with the MGS series not downgrade them.

[Snake Raiser]

I can't believe it, but I actually KIND OF agree with you. You are completely wrong to call people retards because they feel strongly about this topic. However, you are right that a great game is a great game and should be bought without consideration as to what console it is on.

That said, I hope MGS5 uses the best technology available to create the most high quality experience possible.

Yes metal gear wii would be a downgraded experience if it follows the MGS storyline. why would I want to go from 7.1 losless sourround sound to 5.1 analog surround, why would I want to go from next-gen graphics which was MGS4 to last-gen graphics? Metal Gear solid is a series that was positioned to benchmark to see what the PlayStation consoles can do, not to mention mixed in with solid gameplay and an amazing story. it is the "Hardcore Gamers" game.

[s8anicslayer]

Sony better wine and dine Kojima and CO. to keep MGS on a sony platform, Sony must know they have lost enough exclusives to MS then they had hoped for, and if they loose MGS that would be a huge blow for them.

[NMC2007]

Then you are not a fan or supporter of MGS, just of Sony. GTFO!
I am a known 360 fanboy but I give credit where it's due and support where it's deserved and when I get my PS3 sometime soon MGS 4 will be my first purchase.

Stop being a corporate pawn and start being a gamer.

[xxBATTLECATxx]

thats really very cheap of you sasanova. i LOVE metal gear, if it went exclusive to wii, id buy the wii just for one game. its one of my fave series/games of all time. i disagree that itll be gimped if it goes multiplat as long as its built on PS3 first AND the 360 version comes later. i say later because if its developed at the same time, i dont want them to even THINK about a 360 version until theyve perfected it. i dont want anything gimped because of different programming architectures or storage limits. just make it perfect on PS3 first.

[All-3]

Oh really?

http://www.1up.com/do/featu...

1UP: With your debut of the Tokyo Game Show Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer, which has seen wide distribution in both Japanese magazines, online, and in the U.S. Official PlayStation Magazine recently, it really heralded the dawn of the next-generation. Everything else has been polished and nice, but this was so powerful, so compelling you even had to do a real-time demonstration at TGS to prove it was running on PS3 hardware. That said, it makes you wonder how much of a gap there is between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Do you think you could create MGS4, technically, on 360 if you wanted to?

Hideo Kojima (HK): Yes, that's technically possible. I want to express, first of all, it's not that I don't like Xbox or 360. It's just that last year, our hands were really tied to MGS3, so the other Konami developers were able to get their hands on the 360 tools and hardware earlier. But we simply didn't have time to do that last year. So, meaning that we were behind the other developers in terms of 360 development. Kojima Productions has this philosophy that we want to be the first in everything regarding new technology. So after we finished MGS3, the option was to work on the PS3 to try all the new things for Metal Gear Solid 4. NOTE --> The only reason for this is I'm the kind of person who wants to be the first person on the moon, and don't want to be asking "what the moon was like?" from other people. So that's the real story behind selecting PS3.

--> So that's the REAL STORY behind selecting the PS3 <--

1UP: It's interesting that you think you could do this on 360, though.

---> Hideo Kojima (HK): Maybe some nuance or a small details here and there might be different, but I feel that hardware is no longer a matter. I'm just talking about PS3, 360 and PC. Revolution is totally different, but there are really no differences among the other three.

[Kamikaze135]

If the next Metal Gear were multi platform of course it won't be epic. Kojima took up an entire blu ray disc. If he had to change it because he had to release the same game on a DVD then we'd get a LOT less content.

[PoSTedUP]

and looking at the production costs of developing a game multiplatform AND having it on multiple discs, there is no way MG5 will be multiplat (because of big business) money isn't guaranteed and when u can make a game on one disc, have little to no marketing and it still sell 4-5 million, cmon, the game not gunna be multiplat.

[Kamikaze135]

I own a 360 and yes, I love it. However, there are just some games I'd rather they keep on the PS3 to prevent having to downgrade it unless it's a series that was a multiplatform series from the start.

MGS4 raised the Metal Gear standard, and going below that standard will only disappoint people on both sides (PS3 and 360 owners who played MGS4).

[Sangria]

As long as there is no inferior/superior version and no exclusive DLC to a platform, i don't really care if it's going multiplatform or not.

Considering the huge sales of MGS4 (around 3.5~4 millions) for the install base (13 millions PS3 at this time), a badass Raiden game (that may redefine the ninja game genre) can make big sales too, no matter if it's exclusive or not.

[UltimateIdiot911]

If it is inferior to MGS4, that's pretty disappointing. I want MGS5 to further the experience like how MGS3 is a lot better than MGS2 in terms of graphic and experience. By making it multiplatform, I don't think that jump in quality will be created and more likely to drop in quality.

[KingKionic]

lol... come on . if it did that would be great. imagine next gen graphics metal gear on xbox 720 and ps4....that would be pretty good.

[TrevorPhillips]

So MGS5 u will be playing as raiden, hopefully ull be able to use guns since raiden is ninja and uses only swords

[cayal]

Raiden carries a gun.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Not in MGS4.

[PoSTedUP]

man i would love a MG5 with some heavenly sword characteristics (except less linear than HS)

[cayal]

Ghost - Yes he did

http://img205.imageshack.us...

[xabmol]

Raiden uses a gun in MGO.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Nice find, never noticed it. Besides, he never used it. Maybe he did though, at some point while he had to rescue Sunny.

[cayal]

Nah he never used it, but he always had the side holster (guess for added badassedness).

[Vicophine]

It won't. Kojima goes for quality, not solely sales.

[Unicron]

At this point, I'd like a new universe/series reboot. Move on to new characters (or the same but different relationships, say Solid Snake and Liquid Snake being teammates) and leave the "Patriots" world behind. It's time for rebirth!

[Gun_Senshi]

Kojima makes games not for money, but for passion and love, and he is probably the only developer that gamers should respect. He cares about quality over everything else. He wants to make games that no one ever expierenced liked.

Kojima will make his next game from his passion, not for $$$.
Personally I hope its Zone of the enders 3. IMO Z.O.E The 2nd Runner is the best action game. It has a beautiful story, graphics that beat some "next gen" games, gameplay and speed that make action games like NG and GoW make a run for their fame, and Robots that make Gundam look like child's play.

[Kamikaze135]

Kojima said he won't be making the next Metal Gear game. His younger staff are the ones working on it. They might pull a Team Ninja and make it exclusive to the opposite console the last one was released on >_>

[Hallucinate]

criteron says hi..you should respect them for all the support kojima makes good games yes MGS is awesome but its milked to hell and back (expansion packs so its obviously getting support) they wont even make a patch let alone trophys

[hazardman]

I think it would be great if Solid Snake is on other platforms...I don't think Sony fanboys are the only gamers out there..all gamers should enjoy this great franchise...

[onijutsu]

the words of a true gamer,

BUT if the game is gimped in any way because it had to ft onto # of dvd9s then i would be dissapointed...

Edit: looks like some rabid fanboys took away bubbles, let me replenish them for you..

[cayal]

I don't give a sh!t if this game is on PS3/ PS2/ XBOX/ 360/ PSP/ Wii/ and DSi, I'll play the game because it will be good.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Oh please no! I don't want the next Metal Gear gimped because of the 360.

[onijutsu]

so the people who disagreed with post are saying that they WANT a gimped version of metal gear? :|

[swiftshot93]

forgot kojima, even the PUBLISHER wouldnt want to invest money into optimizing the very powerful MGS4 engine for 360, when they have already made 4 million sales being exclusive for PS3.

The next MGS will be exclusive to PS3 100%. Bookmark this page.

[SinnedNogara]

It would be both good and bad.

MGS4 sold 3 million units on the PS3, not a big number when you think of the 20 million PS3 users. It could do well on Xbox 360 and PS3 (and maybe PC)

On the other hand, if it where the size of MGS4, the 360 version would require 12 to 14 discs. That would be retarded. Or they could release the 360 version as downloadable episodes (when you had the entire game, your hard drive would explode)!!!

Off Topic: Or they could re-release Metal Gear: The Twin Snakes, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and the original Metal Gears on the Wii. This would be the situation where porting a PS2 game to the Wii would actually be a good thing!!!

[Gun_Senshi]

MGS4 sold 4.6mil in 3 months.

[PoSTedUP]

yea. 12 discs lol, not even close!

[Aclay]

"MGS4 sold 3 million units on the PS3"

Metal Gear Solid 4 hit the 4.5 million mark a couple of months ago, I don't know where you get the 3 million number from.

http://www.dailytech.com/Me...

Considering the PS3's smaller installbase, I think MGS4 did VERY well on the PS3, because even with the PS2's HUGE installbase, Metal Gear Solid 3 only sold a little over 3 million copies in lifetime sales.

MGS4 sold well for a PS3 exclusive, and I think just that alone could justify Konami making it exclusive to the PS3 as well, but whatever happens, I'm still buying it regardless.

[pwnsause]

let me guess you got 3 million from VGchartz LOL

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

LOL @ mrnintendo96

You uneducated tool. Keep quite.

[SinnedNogara]

3 million, 4.6 million, whatever!! The point is it sold not as well as expected, but still sold well. Man, the main page is EVIL!!

When I said twelve discs, it was a expression. MGS4 on 360 would take 3-6 discs because MGS4 maxes out the 50GB blu-ray. Since DVDs take up around 7-14 GBs, and the fact that the cutscenes can get as 80 minutes (somewhere around there), it would take more discs.

Still no disagrees about the Wii idea. At least I was right about something.

Now someone take off the Ignores.

[villevalorox]

I can only say that the xbox would surely hold back the next mgs if it were to release on it. Just look at mgs4. No game on xbox can compare to it. Disk size being a major issue. and yeah I woudl miss them jokes :D "wait snake! you need to swap the disk labeled disk 2" lmao that was great@!!!!!

[Bumpmapping]

Hideo Kojima would not allow his masterpiece on such disgrace of a console called 360

[IaMs12]

really now, why has he before?

[KingKionic]

it was on other consoles before playstion. lets not for get how BIG metalgear solid is.how many long years this franchise is.

[Delta]

They would have a 6 disc box set. 8 disc for the collectors. LOL
And a downgraded version of it.

[IaMs12]

still means nothing. He has done buisneess with MS before so it leave room for it again. Im making a point saying he has gone with MS before and MGS was on the Xbox. Why cant it happen again? it can thats why. GTA jumped ship and sold more, and now FF jumped ship. 2 huge franchises of Sony. As well as Bioshock jumped ship to the PS3 and now DeadRising which were 2 very good games as well. ANYTHING is possible now a days.

[DNAgent]

If it goes multiplatform then it would just hold the game back. I'm still a fan of MGS though so even if it did go multiplatform I would still play it (though I would only rent it rather than buy it). I used to be a fan of the FF games too but S-E screwed those up so bad I won't even play any game from them including the FF games (they don't even deserve a rent even if I could get it for free).

[IaMs12]

I think it would just be as epic. If not even more because more people will be ranting on about it. This is just upsetting the sony fanboys. Its been on other plateforms why cant others go? and in the past, it seems most Multiplat games sell better on 360 then the PS3. Thats a fact, most maybe not all. So in other words it would make him more money=to develop more games.

[cayal]

It's not a fact at all.

[IaMs12]

uh im pretty sure that, most Multiplates sold better on the 360. Hmm GTA and COD are just a couple. Im not saying all, but the majority.

[Shadow Man]

Yeah the game is 32gbs, with uncompress audio and video.
8*4=32 that would be 4 dvds. And they can compress the audio and video.

But whatever am not a fan of the series.

[PoSTedUP]

4 dvd's= a nightmare for publishers.

[ssipmraw]

GTFO!!!!!!!!

[NegativeCreep427]

and now he needs all the attention a stupid little Ewok like him can get. His parents don't give it to him because they know well enough how much of an annoying d*ck-head he is.

Hey Shadow Man, weren't you apart of the delusional fanboy crowd that said MGS4 was bullsh*t? and that it wasn't worth what it got, both in scores and sales?

Oh but now the little MS a$$-rider comes out with some stupid basic arithmatic post saying how MGS5 could appear on the Xbox 360.

Don't try to fool. Everyone already knows how pathetic and jealous you've acted in the past.

@ d*ck-head right below...

Hey! What can I say? Identifying and displaying you lonely, asocial fanboys is a passion of mine. Maybe one day you'll accept it and finally grow some hair on your marbles (oh and BTW, GREAT COMEBACK Kid! You might as well of saved some time and posted "I know what you are, but what am I" LOL...kids are stupid, thats why they're kids!).

[Shadow Man]

Wow negative, there is alot of detail in that story are you sure your not telling me you life story?

[shadow-sentinel]

I played MGS1 on two discs, MGS2 on one disc, MGS3 on one disc and MGS4 on one disk. Now Shadow Man wants MGS4 for 360 on four discs?! WOW just WOW... O.O

Oh you're a fan of MGS and you know it. I saw you on the other recent Kojima article. Nice try...

[Snake Raiser]

Like I said one time before "DANG! I wish I could look at a blu-ray disk and tell how much room was being used!" @shadowman of course.
How can anybody tell how much of the disk was used, and that is an xbot's argument against the game? At least bash the cutscenes if you are too ignorant to enjoy the game, but don't bash something that can't be proven one way or another.

[v1c1ous]

there are some SELFISH and JADED fanboys here.

wow oh wow.

you aren't MGS fans. you're what's wrong with this gen the most.

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

meh it's not our fault we've got taste for quality games that exceed 7gigs lol

[UltimateIdiot911]

I'm sorry you didn't pick the console for the games. Some of us here want quality and with recession and $60 a game, I want no less than absolutely stunning. The bar is set, it's call MGS4. If MGS5 fall below that, then it's half ass.

[IaMs12]

and thats why i picked the 360 at the time :). It had more games, more friends own it, better multiplayer. But all that is changing, and of course that was a year ago.

I heard it was an epic game, yah, and everyone praised the graphic but too me the graphic seem really plain, and blah, no textures to it.

[Reibooi]

There is no denying it. If MGS5 was to be multi plat it would be a disappointment. MGS4 used up pretty much all the Blu-ray and it was cut in places to make it fit. That being the case a 360 game of the same size would be like 7-8 discs in size.

I don't know about you but that just wouldn't work. Not to mention I don't think the devs nor MS would wanna pay for the cost of the disc's. On top of that we still have yet to see anything on 360 that rivals MGS4 graphically so I am not sure that it could even be done.(Now some will say gears 2 looks just as good and I will point and laugh at them) I don't know about you but seeing a downgrade in graphics from MGS4 to MGS5 just would not make any sense at all.

[Bladestar]

all I know is that everyone knows the reason why Metal Gear on the PS3 was that large... The actual gameplay was only 4 hours and the rest was pure cutscenes... How about Heavenly sword? full of CGI and the disc came with every language known to men...

If Kojima would to cut down on the cutscenes and focus more on gameplay... Metal Gear would have no problem on the xbox 360... I mean.. hell... COD4 was one of the best looking games... and it didn't have a problem.. no will Call of duty Modern Combat 2... same goes with Bioshock.. and I can go on and on.. about games that look great and have a lot more gameplay than metal gear..

One thing is certain... Kojima will benefit greatly if brought to the xbox 360... more pleople will be playing his game.

I am sure Kojima would love to have as many gamers playing his games as developers like infinitive award...

"Despite selling well, the limited PS3 install base has hurt the overall sales of the game." yeah.. that's right... Kojima and konami needs to stop being sony lovers and stop trying to make a handful of people happy and think about what's best for them.

[KingKionic]

your right... mind the disagrees it takes 5-6 hours .... if you skip those great cutscenes,rushing through the game. not looking for anything at all. that pretty much takes the fun out of the game.metal gear solid was a solid game lol

[UltimateIdiot911]

You must not be familiar with the MGS series. Kojima made the game for the fans. Cutscenes is a big part of why I purchase MGS4. If there is less than 10 hours of cutscenes in MGS5, it's a disappointment.
Sorry but Konami is not Square Enix where they outcast a huge section of their fans and destroy long term profits.

[kewlkat007]

Well any 3rd-party dev these days can maximize profits and make a great game. We have plenty multiplat games/franchises that have been very strong brands. Someone posted down below..

[Reibooi]

While COD4 and Bioshock looked nice they are not even comparable to something on the level of MGS4 and if you don't already know that then I suggest playing the game and better yet playing it on a 1080P HD TV.

Your also not gonna get a MGS game that has few and short cut scenes. The MGS series is about a great story line and the fans love that about the series so Kojima-san is not gonna change.

[chidori666]

TOTALY AGREE........ because of xcrap

[well_damn]

mgs5 will never be on 360 because kojima would not let it he has a good relationship with sony even if hes not making the next game hes gonna direct and give look over his team when mgs2 ended up on the xbox kojima was mad at konami for going behind his back i dont think konami would ever risk upsetting their cash cow.

[TheBand1t]

I agree. The next Gears of War or Mass Effect 2 should be on PS3 too.

So, y'know, more people can enjoy it!

See what I did there?

[EliteHITMAN]

First Hideo is not like every publisher he could give a $hit about sales or how many people play it. He is very dedicated to his fan base. Were you listening to the gdc presentation at all, or ever here an interveiw form the guy? He's about raising the bar to challenge other developers and sadly the truth is he cannot raise the bar on the 260 due to storage and the mere fact the detail in that game could not be done on 360.

[cyrus228]

its already known the ps3 is stronger, and theres always a downgrade if a game isnt exclusive, gears of war wouldnt look as good if it was multi, nor would MGS4 or killzone, its always better when a game is made specifically for one console. look at ff13's downgrade in graphics once it went multi for example.

and to those who complain about 40 min cutscenes in mgs, screw off, maybe we like our stories to make sense and be interesting, *points at gears 1," wheres my wife!!!!" kill stuff and get on train ending.

yes it wud be annoying if everygame had 40 min cutscens but MG's is a good story not a drug out boring scene. some games should get to the point and in the case of mgs4, they had to wrap up 20 years of games story so stfu ;p

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

Meh the thought just sickens me.

[Rhezin]

seriosly GTFO you queer, no one likes you.

[Thoreau]

the series will go down hill. can anyone name one game that has improved since going multiplatform? devil may cry is worse, tekken 6 is an upgraded tekkenDR, resident evil 5 is not the jump we thought it would be. exclusive games allow a console to shine in the areas that make that console game unique.

[KingKionic]

devil may cry 4 was great...i just... personally wanted a block button.

[cyrus228]

DMC and a block button, the enemies barley attack you in the game, why would u need to block??? way to easy look how useless royal guard was.

dmc is awesome and fun but enemies arent smart, Ninja gaiden u MUST block, u cant win without it. unlike dmc 4, on hard i beat toad boss without getting hit.....lol after 1 hour of dying against him and learning his pattern lol. but still its possible.

both hard game sbut dmc is hard cuz if u do get hit u die in like 2 hits. ninja gaiden enemies actually battle u. both amazing....how'd this get to dmc lol, its a mgs topic.....

multiplat thumbs down, exclusive thumbs up on any system

[Thoreau]

you will see the step backwards DMC4 was. the story line was filled with cheese and nero is a broke down vergil,(spoiler, nero is virgil's son) the combat system was not as quick. worst of all dante's outfit looked horrendous. the game did look good, but DMC3SE spoiled me, especially the last fight against vergil, very epic.

[KingKionic]

haha i knew it. yes vergil is a god...seriously lol

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Way to go and put the spoiler alert on the same line as an actual spoiler and not in caps! Lol, just kidding. Yea I enjoyed DMC4, but I felt it was over stylized and to corney. DMC3 was great though. There was much DMC style gothic castles and whatnot that really brought me into the game.

[nefertis]

mgs5 should stay on the ps3 because two reason blu-ray 50gigs and the cell processor, kojima look for top quality. I think mgs5 my be multiplatform because kojima won't be in full control of mgs5. A while back kojima said its not impossible to do mgs4 on 360 but he said it will be very difficult to do a 360 version. I would sure hate to have compress audio and graphics on the 360. I guess some 360 owners could careless about compress audio and graphics they will buy a broken game and tell ps3 owners that look at the 360 now we got mgs5 and rub it in ps3 owners face . Think God I have a ps3 to experience true next gen, my 360 didn't appeal to me.

[hippo24]

Hmm so the other times it was on multiplatforms doesn't count...ok Ill go stand here in bewilderment, wondering how the incredibly rich and talented studio, could not repeat the process of bringing a game to more then one platform.

Hmm apparently you just cant have a good multiplatform game(chucks half life, counterstrike, COD, portal, TF2, Fallout, past MGS titles, Ninja Gaiden, Command and conquer, GTA, World of Goo, Burnout, Indigo Prophecy, Beyond Good & Evil, Time Splitters, Soul Caliber, Resident evil, prince of Persia, Unreal tournament and all future Multi-plat titles into the trash)

This article is beyond riciculous, and the reponses are much worse.
MGS4 was a great game IMHO, but It recived a lot of critisim because it was exclusive.

Dude enough with you uneducated rant. We are talking about this gen, you know, ps3 and 360. It's a no brainer that the multiplat games released so far this gen and future multiplats could/would be better if they where ps3 erxclusives. You 360 owners a ludicrously funny. it seems you would buy a turd even while knowing it is sub par. No wonder why M$ hasn't made a single attempt to fix their little (oh wait) RROD,E74 and disk scratching invention.

Not to digress from the actual topic, but insulting my intelligence, while misspelling basic words, is kind of Ironic. Is it not?

You seem to be hell bent on the perception that exclusives are somehow "good" for the industry. Well let me give you a little lesson in economics.

Read those relatively simplistic articles and you should have the basic knowledge th know that constructing a balance of multi-platform games and exclusive titles, Is far better than a largely one-sided market.

But what do I know, I bought both consoles so I must be an idiot.

it will be a ps3 only game mg4 did great for a system that has a smaller install base 4.5 million that not bad like he said he dose not care about install base he wants quality and reliability the 360 dose have ok quality but with out a hdmi on most consoles make lees quality the the ps3 witch all of the ps3 released and bult with hdmi outputs and as for reliability lololo i wont go into that

[Gambit07]

Even though I don't own a 360, I wouldn't mind if MS added a Blu-Ray add-on and then the game went multi-plat.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

A bluray add on would only allow the 360 to read bluray movies. Blu-ray would have to be implemented into the consoles design in order for it to play bluray-based games. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I like to learn from my mistakes. :)

[deshon09]

how do you figure if thay put an external bluray divide it would play games it would not it would be just like the hddvd add on not but a dvd player it would not be able to play games

[labwarrior]

Personally i find MGS series some of the worst games ever created, the gameplay and level design are one of the biggest jokes in gaming industry

[Avenged Sevenfold]

You're a bitter little one aren't you.

[free2game365]

Created the stealth genre? are you sh!tting me?

[Avenged Sevenfold]

PERFECTED the stealth genre.

[kewlkat007]

I've got all the platforms and quite over this fanboy BS, "I wouldn't play my favorite series if it went Multiplat"...sheesh it's only a piece of plastic.

I swear Sony have created monsters for fanboys. I can see why having sold over 200 million consoles and dominating the last 2 gens.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

This "argument" goes both ways buddy.

[KingKionic]

lol well it part of it . shows you what people enjoy.

[Shane Kim]

Yeah and how many people was dissapointed in GTA4 after playing it? It could have been so much better if it stayed exclusive. I'm a die hard MGS fan to the bone and if this game is being held back because of multiplat I'll never game again.

[Kurylo3d]

Its funny when people say if this series went multiplatform theyd stop playing it.... didnt stop them from purchasing 4. The series already went multiplatform with Metal gear solid 2. That one went on xbox. The main series... Hell a remake of the original went on gamecube. I mean portable ops (the sequel to metal gear solid 3) went on psp... canon to the main story...I hate fanboys. They give the industry a bad name. Losers. Mgs has been to just about every console... hell metal gear solid 1 and 2 eventually came to PC

[UltimateIdiot911]

And Kojima was mad at Konami for pulling that stunt. Reason being why MGS3 never went on Xbox. Kojima is a perfectionist and a Sony/Apple fanboy, and Konami knows not to kill a cash cow.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

If the next MGS would be multiplatform it would really tarnish the quality if the game and the series as a whole. Kojima wouldn't be able to utilize all of PS3's potential if it was multiplat. If Sony is smart, they'll make an exclusive deal with Konami and Kojima to keep this exclusive. BTW, I don't know, but does Kojima have any say in where his games go? I mean, he's said that he's not an Xbox 360 fan, so does he decide where Kojima Productions' games go?

[NaViTo]

No please! Don't turn the best ever games series into a multiplatform flop! xD

[Xman1231]

i mean come on is that important that the next MGS game just stays on one system to me i don't care i just want a good game even if its on another system.

[devilhunterx]

not this cr@p again
