Forums - Sony - MGS4 staying on exclusive to PS3 for months ...

 

Well it is not an official anouncement, but if we believe this link, it seems that Kojima is protecting PS3 exclusivity. Considering the Non-announcement during the Microsoft conference (opposit to RE 5 for example), I think this is not impossible :

E3: MGS4 still a PS3 exclusive

Microsoft's Peter Moore didn't even mention Metal Gear Solid 4...
 

Pre-E3 whispers say MGS4 will be a timed exclusive for PS3. Microsoft mentioned just about every other game under the sun at its E3 press conference expect Kojima's highly-anticipated action game.

It was only yesterday that rumours of Metal Gear Solid 4 being released for Xbox 360 hit a new high. Konami's head of US and European operations, Kazumi Kitaue, said that even though Metal Gear Solid was born for PlayStation, and the firm would like to keep it that way, steps may have to be taken.

We can only presume that he means steps taken to make the game multiplatform to cover the cost of the game's lengthy development cycle.

A source has told CVG that , "Kitaue ("Operation leader" at Konami for EU and NA market) is constantly trying to force Kojima to drop the game's PS3 exclusivity, which Hideo refuses point blank to do. Trust me MGS4 will be a PS3 exclusive for for months at least."

Microsoft's press conference focused on games that will be released this year (apart from Resi 5). There was no mention of MGS4 and 360 which makes us believe that Sony is still holding tight to the franchise. If it was coming to 360, Peter Moore would have made a massive song and dance about it. He didn't, probably because the deal's not been signed yet.

i think it's pretty clear it's coming, just a matter of when.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It's not a surprise, people.

Doesn't everybody expect it to come out for PS3 first...and then get announced for 360 afterwards? Thus not harming potential early PS3 sales.

It'd really harm both Sony and potentially Konami if they announced multiplatform MGS4 now, ala RE4 for Capcom.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Something like March '08 for PS3, fall '08 for 360.

YES,
I AGGRY
the point is just that Konami will sell game even if it is released on the 2 hardware in same time
BUT
Sony will simply lose a very high ammount hype+good game exclusivity if they lose another exclusivity

MGS4 could have been show on the Microsoft conference killing (in part) Sony
but that is not the case ...

Ok, so Konami decided to be nice, maybe.

But I'm sure they started the 360 port later...it could just be nowhere near ready yet too...

Konami might decide on a multiplatform release depending the sales numbers.
Expect Metal Gear Solid 4 : Speculation to get a multiplatform release, with extra costumes, missions and multiplayer.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>
