Hideo Kojima doesn't decide whether the game is exclusive or not.
Konami does. This is great news for the 360, though I think we all saw this comming. I'll be reserving my 360 copy the second they start taking pre-orders. |
Gballzack has a point here. Since when have software developers decided wether or not his/her game gets ported? I can recall the developer of Resident Evil 4 saying he'd cut his head off if the game went multi-plat, only to apologise later for the suits higher up in the company overruling him. He also failed to kill himself, despite all expectations. =P Even if the game stays exclusive, it's extremely like that poor sales could lead to Capcom having another team port it without listening to Kojima. The reason these rumours persist is that highly expected third party exclusives on poorly selling consoles is something that simply doesn't happen. |
Yeah again I agree...developers never have a say whether a game should be developed on a console its up to the publisher which in this case Konami....Kojima cant say nothing he has to do what the publisher says or he's fired or something other than that...so if the developer thinks they won't make profit on one console they make it multiplatform as Capcom is doing... |
So they will take out the ps3 controller from the game and have to remake the controls costing more money and compress the entire game in order for it to fit on a 9gb disc, and then try to take out some unessesary textures to take up less space, and oh yes ofcourse this wont cost them anything at all, and the 360 will sell about 1 million copies MAX vs the 3 million ps3 sold, and konami will be mad for puting it on the 360, and the ps3 as we know it, is dead. Just becuase konami wanted to put it on the 360 and they lost even more money on it and never made a profit. |
Just because there was ps3 controller in the game dosen't mean it won't go multiplatform. Tales of Symphonia had a gamecube in it when it was released in the gamecube, when they released on the ps2 they just changed it. Its not a big thing.
The controls can be changed easily and the 360 and ps3 have the same number of button if I am correct, so the only thing they need to change is the motion control. Is there even motion control in the game? cause I don't know. If there isn't no biggie, and if there is, I don't it will be that much of a hassle.
Also porting a game from a Ps3 to a 360 is alot easier than having to port a 360 to a ps3. Thats what I hear anyway. I also hear that DVD9 is cheaper than blu-ray, so if you factor those in I don't think it will cost much to port this game to the 360 and even with only a million copies sold (which is still alot) i'm sure the port will make a profit.
btw I'm not really intrested in the game. I'm just trying to show no exclusive is guaranteed, especially when this series of game has been ported to many other systems.
