ClaudeLv250 said: I couldn't really care if MGS4 is exclusive or not (though I'd like to see some fanboy drama). I don't have a PS3 or 360 and I'm pretty neutral to Metal Gear as a series. Claude tackles MGS4 exclusivity!Some common excuses I hear: Excuse #1: "But Kojima/Konami/Sony said it was exclusive!" And? What are they supposed to say? It's not exclusive? If they haven't announced it for other consoles then by industry standards it's an exclusive. And they're going to continue to refer to it as an exclusive until the very day that they announce it to be multiplatform (if that day ever happens). Excuse #2: "Xbox 360 can't handle Kojima's vision! MGS4 is not meant for it!" Perhaps, but PS3 can't handle Konami's bills. This is perhaps the most expensive game Konami has ever make and they're putting it on a console that hasn't sold nearly as much as everyone had expected it to before launch. Judging by the fact that these multiplat rumors are being ignited by some Konami employees doesn't help the situation either. Excuse #3: "Xbox 360 would explode if it tried to play MGS4/it needs 5 discs LOL/RROD LMAO!!1" Yeah, keep telling yourself that. |
Kojima was VP of Konami for a while, and only resigned that position to when Konami granted his wish to create Kojima Productions,giving him more time to focus on games.
Kojima has a LOT of sway in the company.
