June 2008, MGS4 launches to the PS3. Sony fans get defensive, are we going to keep our beloved game on just our console?... 94 meta, GOTY 2008 (second.. behind LBP, shockingly LBP gets more awards).

After the years, we now found ourselves in june 2011 about 3 years later. If a MGS4 was announced which I believe is happening soon enough, itll release in like another year, making the MGS4 exclusitivity of the PS3 version last for a whopping 4 years.

Now you all know that a B E A S T of my status love MGS4. (LOL elpres)

Truth is, I believe its time... I believe its time to share the entire MGS saga. You see, we're pretty much having so many exclusives that losing MGS4 isn't really going to matter, not after this long. We needed the game when we were in deep shit, or well.. we lacked the blockbusters like Uncharted, LBP, Killzone, God of War, Gran Turismo, InFAMOUS, Resistance (2-3 well.. xD), Motorstorm (2-3 well xD), Twisted Metal, The last guardian sotc&ico collection, starhawk warhawk (started as a PSN game.. so..) and many many more...even games like Heavy Rain.

Bottom line is,

if you look at the exclusives that were released and can be considerd as .."acclaimed" with MY definition of exclusives obviously being:
Games that are only on ONE platform. Period. PC INCLUDED In this as a platform.

Then , out of the top of my head:

2008 =

PS3: MGS4, LBP, Resistance 2, Motorstorm Pacific rift, GT5:Prolouge

X360: Gears 2, Fable 2 (im afraid im having a hard time remembering anything else that merits my definition. I did however get my Xbox 360 in November 2008 so perhaps I wasnt as informed then).

Result: PS3 & Multiplaforms  (Fallout 3 etc) dominate the GOTY awards. PS3 starts picking up steem.

2009 =

PS3: Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Infamous, Demons souls.

X360: Forza 3... , Halo 3 ODST? , Halo wars (I had my X360 for this entire year, and.. really, like I said, if its on PC, imma get it there)

Result: Total domination of the GOTY awards. Arguably the best year for Sony as KZ2 and Uncharted 2 were true blockbusters. Halo Wars & Halo 3 ODST.. not so much. Forza 3, sure I guess but no GOTY there.

2010=

PS3: God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, M.A.G, Modnation Racers

X360: Halo Reach, Alan Wake

Result: Quite even between Sony & MS, where as Multiplats win mostly. Now if Mass Effect 2 was a exclusive that'd be a difference. It wasnt even a timed exclusive to me as I count the PC as a platform for gaming...

Now it gets interesting:

2011=

PS3: Killzone 3, LBP2, Infamous 2, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Motorstorm Apocalypse

X360: WTF!? We're waiting for Forza 4 and Gears of War 3

Result: Too early to tell. But.. I just might have a good idea. We're having the sequel of the GOTY 2008 (LBP), The sequel of both the GOTY contenders in 2009 (KZ3 and Uncharted 3), Thrown in with the sequel of another acclaimed game (Infamous 2), and the return of a new IP (Twisted Metal). Another motorstorm aswell along with Resistance. Forza 4 releasing to compete with GT5 and take over the ground attention till' GT6 arrives, that alone is a battle that won't be rewarded with GOTY. Gears 3 is going alone against everything. It all depends on that game for any GOTY awards at all. Quite the pressure...

All im saying is, share MGS4. They deserve it. Without the 360 fans, we PS3 fans would not exist. We complete each other :'(. I don't know if this counts as a rant, but yes I went a tad off topic. I just had to share my mind, hoping that nobody sees it as an insult. Cheerioz.

I can see MGS4 finally being ported to 360, though I doubt they will ever patch the PS3 version for trophies.

It's been almost 3 years since the game was released.

MGS4 isn't in the HD collection?  Aw.

And it's awesome that Peace Walker saves are transferable. I never finished it because the controls made a certain boss battle particularly frustrating, and now I can continue right where I left off.

Also, it'll be so good to finally be able to play Zone of the Enders.

random post is random

You mean the PC version?

Maybe they'll add it to XBLA! :-O

His post made sense. i think his point was the MGS4 was an exclusive in 2008 and it was important for 2009 because the PS3 had no games of noteworthy reputation.

now everythings changed and the PS3 dosent need MGS4 anymore.

however i dont think MGS4 is that popular tbh. even if it released on the 360 now, what would it do, 1 maybe 2 mil. i think Konami should release an updated subsistance version on the PS3 with trophies and maybe then port it to the 360, but i dont see a straight port from the PS3 doing amazing sales at this point in time.

so i dont think its worth releasing it on the 360 this late in the gen, unless theres some sort of update to the game.
