Why becuase you dont think so? im sorry but i just am not going to belive someone on this forum over some from microsoft lol... 

How do you know this?

If it is released for 260 I wouldn't care.

It's not going anywhere.

Not if you are building both games at the same time. Sacrifices are made on both ends to achieve a desirable result. Obviously you haven't gotten a faint idea of how games design work. Well i do frankly and if anyone is making an ass out of themself it's you.

Basically you are saying that because ps3 is made lead developer for multiplat games that this shouldn't be hard to port ?

or that it would either have to top out the ps3 hardware (which you then say it isn't) or be easy.

Well .. frankly.. we don't live in wonderland where you can say alakazam and pow ! you have a game that works on every console from ps3 to snes.

Basically it doesn't have to max out the ps3's capabilities to be hard to port. I didn't say it was impossible, but hard, because a lot of code would have to be rewritten since mgs4 does use spes and does function around the ps3 architecture which is entirely different than the 360s. Basically since it was designed to run on the cell, it would have to be redesigned to run equally (or at all depending on the code) on the 360.

Multiplatform games are different because they are designed from the get go to run on both machines, furthermore most multiplayform games are designed mostly on a pc. Where exclusive games are tailered to 1 specific layout multiplatform games in general are created with multiple architectural designs in mind. A game like mgs would have to be up because a lot of things are needed in each act, and then the data would have to be placed on each dvd, along with the episode, along with all kind of other things that makes the game work.

The game was created entirely for this one thing. Making it do something else Would indeed.. be difficult, not impossible, expencive though. If anything in my post is gibberish it's not a lack of understanding but rather a .. lack of need to explain to you any further. Take it as you will, but don't insult me.

One more thing. You can never say this or that has actually "topped" out some hardware, because there will always be someone who can optmize something just a little further or rearrange it to read faster hence allowing for more to be read within the same period etc. There will be games that "top the hardware" in the sense that they are using it about as optimally as possible, to their understanding. But that's not to say there wont be a game later that can do it just a little bit better.

....ok fine i missplaced a 2 for a 3 like you didnt know what i was talking about =/

Multiplatform engines ala Crystal Tools?

You should rather believe the developer over microsoft. Lol. I mean seriously XD.. Microsoft has nothing to do with the game itself so they wouldn't know now would they :p

 what? i never said i'm going to believe somebody on this forum, but i'm not just going to believe a pr rep, somebody who's paid to spin. if pr reps always told the truth, then a lot of bullshit would have gone down this gen. if pr reps always told the truth, then:

• rrod is not as bad as people are making it out;
• the ps3 can't stay on the shelves for anymore than 5 minutes;
• the wii is actually a fad;
• the ds only sells to 12 year olds;
• the 360 will become the best selling console this gen because it reached 10 million sold in the u.s before anyone else;
• the ps3 is actually the best selling console....if you add ps2 and psp sales to it.

I don't think anyone know anything about the Xbox 260! When you find out, let me know :)
