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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

@ 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.

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.

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.

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???

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?

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

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.

3.2 - hmmm
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.

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.

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

TheDesperado - 397 days 18 hours ago
5 - MGS5 will undoubtedly be PS3 exclusive
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

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.

if so will there still be octocamo?

Cenobia - 397 days 9 hours ago

I honestly hope they move away from Snake all together. Maybe keep one or two characters from the previous games (like Otacon) and start with a new protagonist. I'd like it if they kept the same time period so we'd keep octocamo, but I'm sure they could find a similar way to camouflage the main character in any time period. It could be pretty hard to continue into the future though. It might start to look too sci-fi. What I mean by that is hard to believe. I can see giant mechs/nanobots in a war driven future, but you don't want to go to far out there.*

Also, throw in a cameo from the character that survived in MGS4 (no spoilers).

*I have no idea why I think mechs are okay, but other stuff wouldn't be. It must be the genius of the MGS series.

A New Hero aside from Snake and possibly Raiden ?

Interesting.

But on the other hand, it will probably a prequel just like MGS3.

I wouldn't be surprised if Splinter Cell Conviction did go mutliplatform, and honestly I always thought that it would come to the PS3. I remember that when the first Splinter Cell game came out, I think that it originally was intended ONLY for the Original Xbox, but it came out for the PS2 later on.

I'm willing to bet that whenever Splinter Cell Conviction "went back to the drawing board", that's probably when Ubisoft started development for the PS3. However, if Conviction doesn't come to the PS3, it's a game that I won't loose any sleep over, plus it's coming out on the PC. The last Splinter Cell game that I bought was Chaos Theory and to me that was the last great Splinter Cell game.

If Conviction does go multi. it sure will be a HUGE blow to the 360's 2009 lineup.

If MGS5 goes multi., I hope that Kojima Productions are able to utilize the PS3 in the same way that they did with MGS4, but something tells me that MGS5 will be gimped if it's also developed for the 360. I hope that MGS5 is a PS3 exclusive though. Even though most games will be multiplatform, I think that both the PS3 and 360 will have a few 3rd party exclusives here and there.

Splinter Cell came out later in a much truncated version. Whole parts of levels were missing. They added a snow level, which was cool, but I'd rather have the complete game.

Personally I couldn't care less if it comes out for both because I own both, same with MGS5.

12.1 - Another fact
that the developer, Ubisoft Montreal has been really busy with a lot of games that just came out this year.

Lost: Via Domus (2008) (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (2008) (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)
Assassin's Creed (2008) (PC not the consoles)
Far Cry 2 (2008) (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)
Shaun White Snowboarding (2008) (PC/PS3/PSP/Xbox 360)
Naruto: The Broken Bond (2008) (Xbox 360)
Prince of Persia (2008) (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)

After the new PoP comes out, expect more info on Conviction and more of a focus on it...
But I didn't know why they didn't let Ubisoft Shanghai (Pandora Tomorrow and 360 Double Agent) make Conviction instead of overloading Ubisoft Montreal with a ton of projects... Ubisoft Shanghai only had like one project due this year which was endwar...

Didn't Portable Ops begin this?
Shut this user up Let user speak
Etackett2010 - 397 days 13 hours ago
13.2 - Yeah
At the end of Portable Ops, Zero talks with Ocelot over the phone saying that he wants to start up the Patriots with the cash that Snake got from Gene. Ocelot says he will join and aid Zero only if Big Boss joins...

I want MGS5 to start right there. Zero with Big Boss, Ocelot, Signit, and Para-Medic starts up the Patriots. Then Big Boss finds Eva in Hanoi and she joins the organization. Big Boss and Zero begins to split apart because Zero becomes Power-Hungry. Big Boss becomes injured during a conflict and Zero finds him and Les Enfants Terribles comes in and Big Boss leaves the Patriots for to make Outer Heaven. Solid Snake grows up with many experiences in war and then we should be at the original Metal Gear on the MSX/NES...

That's all what is left, the gap between MGSPO and MG, it has only been explained in words by EVA in act 3 on MGS4 but I will like to play through those events...

Edit - Yeah Portable Ops 2 will be good for showing us the events...
