Well no, no one can really prove that. Kojima did give out the reasoning that their engine was PS3 only though, but Rising sort of casts doubt on any inability to reasonably do MGS4 on 360. Likewise, Wada has stated that FFXIII 360 was due to wanting more western sales to offset the likely Japanese decline. I don't doubt contracts were signed in both cases, or that a Microsoft cash infusion changed minds. Peace Walker is canonically next in line from what I understand, but everything so far makes the game look more like fanservice than anything. Rising is a promised departure, but it's still quite literally a "Metal Gear Solid" game. |
...Again, why does it cast doubts?
It uses an entirely different engine, there's a completely different team working on the game (the MGS4 team works on PW), and... so what if it's, literaly, a "Metal Gear Solid" game, FFCC:TCB is, literaly, a FF game, but it isn't really a FF game right? So is Rising, a "Lightning Bolt Action" game (AKA not a Tactical Espionage Action game), and maybe not even "A Hideo Kojima game", not going to be a real MGS on HD consoles any time soon.
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
