Konami "Not Set Up" For Multi-Platform Development

As a developer, we've worked the same way since the days of the SNES. We're simply not set up for multi-platform development.

Well PES 2008 sucks on PS3, so MGS4 would be better on the 360 also.

Makes one wonder...

Initially would look stupid to agree, but hell yes... I agree. If they have to choose where to put PES, it's all about Europe... PS3 is way more popular on Europe, with some more games next year it will just be outselling 360 with some margin...

And even some other games of Konami, are most focused on Japanese and European audience, and still, you can sell it to american PS3 owners. If you go with 360 only in this one, you will flop on Japan, sell less than you could in Europe and most probably don't get the attentionit deserves on US, if it's not a US-guided games (FPS?).

You'd think Konami would pay more attention to the development team, especially since PES is one of their bigger franchises

gee nice way to turn the back on sony...after all sony and their ps1/2 didnt help to make pes a franchise.....pes devs shouldve worried more about their fanbase which is mostly ps users...maybe they shouldve made a freaking ps3 exclusive...(i love the game though...but i hate i can't play it online on the ps3)

If thats the case Konami should just become a Sony dev and enjoy the benefits devs like Naughty Dog and Insomniac have been enjoying. Being a 1st or 2nd party dev is not a bad thing. 3rd parties have more risk.

PS, is PES 08 that bad? I've only played the demo and I liked it.

PPS Congrates HarryEtTubMan. Welcome aboard. Enjoy.

So... are Konami going to refund everyone that bought the game, only to find it out Konami aren't capable of dealing with multiple platforms?

18 - well...

MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive.

this game is not possible on the 360.

COD4 and AC already look better on the PS3 (i own both versions) - and that's just the beginning.

sorry for everyone who thought he could play a real next gen game on the xbox 360.

360 and Wii are nice - but PS3 is the future.

19 - Its true

the prob with multiplat dev is that developers are porting from the wrong machine.Start with PS3 then port to other consoles the PS3 version would look great and so would the rest.

That's exactly what they are saying they are not prepared to do. You know, not every publisher out there is EA, Atvision or Take Two, with tons of money to give for the development of ONE game in multiplat versions.

21.1 - Maybe

it's because it's posted to both the PS3 and 360 sections and I do believe that when they say "Multiplatform" they are referring to both the PS3 and 360. So why don't you take your TYPICAL STUPID PS3tard head out of your azz and realize this doesn't involve just Sony.

On Topic: Konami should get the hang of multiplatform development quick or switch to more exclusives. I still think this game would of sucked had it been exclusive to the PS3 so the excuse doesn't cut it. Anyway, I've got a "million" better titles on the 360 to play so I could care less about PES.

23 - HELLO. and a Happy LOLlidays!

LOL at the 360ers thinking MGS4 going to 360 or would even be good on the 360.

MGS has always been PS loyal, and the game was/is being made specifically with the PS3 hardware in mind. They make this game to do what the PS3 was built to do when the system gets proper attention...to be the best.

One of the developers stated at gametrailers, "I'm not into the whole 360 vs. PS3 thing, but yes honestly, this game couldn't be made the way we wanted to without making it on the PS3."

For those once PS fans that have moved to 360, be prepared to buy a PS3 if you really want this game. And you will want it. The only thing that will rival this game next year will be GTA4. And hey, while your at it, buy all the great exclusive games coming out next year (and the ones you missed this year) and a few Blu Rays and enjoy. =D

Just to add one more thing, there are little in jokes and stuff that have been shown in the MGS4 trailers and gameplay showing that this is a PS loyal game. The joke about the Cell Processor, and the fact that Snake controls the little robot with a SIXAXIS CONTROLLER. Hideo Kojima is showing his PS loyality and respect, as he should. The PS brand has made his career. The man is an artist, not a opprotunist.

I can't wait, and I'm glad I've stayed loyal to Sony PS now for more than half my life. (I'm 25)

Cheers.
