Why Metal Gear Solid 5 Will Be A PS3 Exclusive

GamingUnion.net: Metal Gear Solid has always been quite the exclusive title to the PlayStation brand since the first Metal Gear Solid. Even when the industry was rife with rumours of Metal Gear Solid 4 jumping ship to the Xbox 360, Kojima and gang never faltered one bit. In fact, they just put the next flagship title on the PSP instead. Now with Metal Gear Solid: Rising on both platforms, we're left to wonder what's next for the series. Although it should be clear, here's why I think Metal Gear Solid 5 will be on the PS3.

If they could hook this up with the NGP, like Kojima has been teasing, it would make for an awesome experience.

Hardedge4813d ago

I totally agree, it'll be pretty damn amazing.

Dragun6194813d ago (Edited 4813d ago )

I think if there is an MGS5, then I think NGP support is probably abound But a PS3 exclusive? Maybe, but I don't think we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.

I mean, I thought MGS: Rising is gonna be PS3 exclusive but that was announced multiplatform at MS E3 conference. That and it's possible that Kojima isn't even making MGS5. That tease for MGS5 was actually MGS Illustrations to Support Japan.

captain-obvious4813d ago

i need some more big boss in my system

heck i need a new MGS3
make us a MGS3 2
lol

DaTruth4813d ago

Just ask Kojima! If he acts like he's upset, dismissive and says something like; "I won't be involved with MGS5/6", it is multiplatform. If he gets a smile and starts making claims about the Universe not being enough blah blah blah, it's PS3 exclusive!

J/K

Iroquois_Pliskin4813d ago

I just cant wait for MGS5 and Rising

Vaud-Villian4813d ago

War has changed. MGS was exclusive until its first sequel.

HolyOrangeCows4813d ago

"If they could hook this up with the NGP, like Kojima has been teasing, it would make for an awesome experience"

I'd rather see two different games with some sort of interactivity. Like playing eachother in MGO 2.0....or something.

xXSilentXx4813d ago

@ Dragun619

MGS: Rising is a complete other story line and has nothing to do with snake or the patriots. MGS: Rising will only have the story line of raidens his life.

Skip_Bayless4813d ago

It's gonna come out on PS3 and Xbox 720 because the the xbox 360 can't handle it.

darthv724813d ago

oh well. glad I have both.

Besides, it is way past for the 360 to get MGS4. In fact, we have reached the point where it is just easier to have a ps3 now instead of holding out. Same goes for the 360.

showtimefolks4813d ago

he loves ps3 or sony paid him the man want a lot of disk space and have no limitations and he is very very familiar with ps3

i would be glad with 3 things:

mgs5 i don't care whether its exclusive or not
mgs:peace walker for NGP with updated controls for dual stick
where is MGS1-3 in HD i thought it was rumored to be in a magzine story?

this year's e3 has a lot of potential

news on agent which people think has been canned
new on eight days and getaway 3
syhpon filter
starhawk
games we will see in 2012 and beyond
jak in hd
all 4 ratchet games in HD from ps2
after god of war 3 SM are working on 2 games which ones?
ape escape for ps3?
etc,,,,,

sony has so much to offer

if you are a game and only buy ps3 exclusives plus few big AAA games you are pretty much busy for whole year

smashman984813d ago

lol eight days and get away is not coming out eight days was announced almost 5 years ago and then canned a yaer or 2 later its not happening
getaway maybe but improbable

and tbh i do think agent was canned syphon filter i dont think is happening yet becuz bend is working on uncharted ngp

Veneno4813d ago

Both 8 Days and Getaway have been said to still be in development.

dgonza404813d ago

that's the truth lol
i have no idea where im gonna get the time to play all these games. i was still behind last year lol i havent even played a lot of the games i was looking forward to before they realased. now 2011 is sure to rape my wallet and time

theonlylolking4813d ago

If he makes MGS5 he needs just as long and as many cutscenes and 8hrs of gameplay. It also needs better graphics IMO MGS4 does not look that amazing to me anymore.

pixelsword4813d ago

Eight days was announced almost five years ago...

my favourite video in gaming history.

AlienLion4813d ago

Well... that is not enirely true, is it? Not only has he appeared on both Xbox and Gamecube, he was actually born on a Microsoft platform (MSX). For being a fanboy you know very little.

cannon88004813d ago

Not only should it be an exclusive to Sony but also because it just doesn't make real sense to make it multi-platform. You know what I mean? I'm not trying to be a troll or a fan-boy, it's just that so many mgs games have been on the PlayStation that it's almost like father and son. Bringing all the future mgs games to the Xbox will ruin the relationship. Kids wont understand what I'm trying to say but I hope you adults that read this do. Every console has it's great exclusives, and this one should always stick to the PlayStation no matter what. Kojima knows better that it isn't about the extra money but rather bringing back the love to PlayStation.

AlienLion4808d ago

Didnt stop FF from going 360, or DMC, or Ace Combat or countless others. The same happened to xbox exclusives. You cant stop it and its only for the better.

Persistantthug4813d ago

It's about business now, not company fanboy'ism.

cannon88004813d ago

So you're saying that what i wrote was bullshit and that I'm a fanboy? I hope you read my paragraph and understood the part where i said hopefully the adults would understand. It's about the fans and not about the money. Never was. Never is. Never will be.

NewZealander4813d ago

i just dont understand why MGS4 never got trophy support, im mean how many times do we have to ask kojima.

ThanatosDMC4813d ago

It was released before it was mandatory. I never did get the stealth camo or big boss zombie head... if it gets the Subsistence treatment i'll buy it and try to get a plat.

Dagobert4813d ago

I want that trophy support. That will be the only game I can get a 100% on and actually bother getting every single trophy.

zeal0us4813d ago

Even though im a 360 owner I think the MGS would be left better on the ps3, don't get me wrong I would love to see MGS on the 360. It just wouldn't feel the same I use to play MGS on sony products(ps1/2 and psp) not M$ stuff.

360 don't really sell that good in japan (culture too blame sadly X associated with death, black associated with death, yes i know ps3 is black, but would it be easier to a product from your own people or foreigners. I hate put it in those terms but that what it seems) + kojima is known to have a dislike for 360, even there was pic of a 360 at office once before. MGS5 have just as much of chance of FFversus13 getting on the 360, which seem kinda low at the moment sadly.

hennessey864813d ago

maybe thats what microsoft will be thinking, get mgs on 360 sell more xboxs in japan

zeal0us4813d ago

Didn't they try that very same thing with ff13 and was kind of a failure seeing as more japanese ppl had already got it on the ps3 months b4.

Jazz41084813d ago

Ps3s advantage is bluray for cut scenes. That's mwhy it. Would be multiple discs. Crysis2 as proven shows 360 can hold its on graphically with a good dev and engine... it should remain on the ps3 though as it feels right on that platform as I have always. Played it there.

socomnick4813d ago

40 hours of cutscenes, 2 hours of nanomachine gibberish, 3 hours of gameplay and subpar stealth.

Yea Ill pass on mgs games.

I don't care what you say, MGS4 is the best game ever. If MGS5 is exclusive then all will be complete. The console war is finished. You simply have no ground to stand on anymore. (unless it finished with MGS4, which it did)

nycrekid4813d ago

Blaze9294813d ago

Who knows what platform MGS5 will be on. If Konami knew themselves, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have set up that survey asking what platform gamers would like to have the next Metal Gear Solid on.

Could be on iPhone for all we know...let's hop not. But depending if they get a strong amount of results on a particular console, don't be surprised if it isn't only the PS3 or even the PS3 at all.

CaliGamer4813d ago

"don't be surprised if it isn't only the PS3 or even the PS3 at all."

What does that even mean?

Blaze9294813d ago

If it isn't only ps3 - multiplatform
Ps3 at all - on a system NOT the Ps3

That wasn't so hard now was it?

C_SoL4813d ago

Solid Snake becomes a half robot half human. Mark my words.

ThanatosDMC4813d ago (Edited 4813d ago )

Actually, that's could happen since they extended Grey Fox's dying drugged up body by making him into a cyborg.

TVippy4813d ago

Not a single solid argument in favor of it being on the PS3. Another one of those fanboys' rants.

Biggest4813d ago

I don't see why there is even a conversation about it. Metal Gear Solid 5 will be a Playstation exclusive. Someone would have to come up with a reasoning as to why it won't be that way. Not the other way around.

jukins4813d ago

if theres anything sony would pay for third party it would be metal gear lets see. but a psp2 and ps3 crossover would be cool.

Kee4813d ago

They can't put MGS5 on the NGP. Main MGS games have to stay on a console. Otherwise I will go and shit on Sony's doorstep for causing me to fork out a ridiculous sum of money for a piece of hardware that I really don't need.

Amphion4813d ago

This won't be exclusive sadly but it should be. I guess we'll have to deal with a wattered down PS3 version once again because the 360 version needs to be kept under 7 gigs. Either that or it'll ship on 14 discs on Microsoft's geriatric box.

NanoSoldier4813d ago

they should keep it for PS3 only before it starts to look better on 360 ... *just joking*

jden284813d ago

I think that everyone is right to a point...

1. I think that Kojima will develop a dual NPD/PS3 game
2. I also think that a multiplatform MGS will be developed for both ps3 and x360, but Kojima will personally oversee the NPD/PS3 but Not the X360 version

3. The big 2 announcements will be that MGS goes multiplatform, and Sony will get Exclusive NPD cross over game and content.

^Solid Snake name is not David. You're confusing it with the intro's voice actor introductions. David Hayter is just the voice we all know.

GavLam884813d ago

Actually Thantos, Solid Snakes real name is David. If you have played to the end of MGS1, Snake reveals to Meryl that his name is David.

QuodEratDemonstrandm4813d ago

Big Mama aka EVA aka Solid Snake's surrogate mother called him David in Eastern Europe, the long cut scene in the church right before that crazy motorcycle chase.

Why are you here then if N4g is the laughing stock of the industry? Then you like being a part of the laughing stock.

I could make a more compelling case for MGS5 not to be made at all.

Megaton4813d ago

I'd prefer that it wasn't, and I think Kojima would too. MGS4 was a great ending. Leave it alone.

Hardedge4813d ago

And yet MGS: PW was made, that was supposed to be MGS5 until they scrapped the number before the E3 announcement.

QuodEratDemonstrandm4813d ago

Good thinking. Making a case for no MGS5 is fairly easy.

1. Les Enfants Terribles deliberately shortened Snakes life span. He was at death's door when MGS4 ended. "Otacon, I'm gonna be dead soon." Snake is retired.

2. Ocelot is dead. Liquid Snake is dead. Solidus is incinerated. Big Boss got hit with FOXDIE. The Patriots are gone. The SOP System is destroyed. No one is left for Snake to fight.

Mgs5 would have to be either a prequel, maybe what Snake was doing on the Big Shell. Or Kojima will have to fill Snake's role with someone else, maybe Meryl or her new husband Johnny Diarrhea.

There may be another MGS, but it won't have Solid Snake. Not as a player Character anyway.

Now that I think about it, I would like to see Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 upgraded to PS3 graphics. Same with the first three Solids.

Mystogan4813d ago

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.

Workshyskiver116d ago

Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.

The3faces116d ago

Must be nice to be the official spokesperson for Kojima. Lucky you

VenomUK116d ago

What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.

Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.

Laxus116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.

I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.

derek116d ago

Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.

Michiel1989115d ago

so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?

Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.

Lightning77116d ago

MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.

purple101115d ago

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that.

Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.

Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).

Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).

These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….
