Considering MGS4 was, I would imagine so. It would cost far less to make the game for just PS3 then also for other platforms. The next MG would just be MGS4 reskinned and better graphics. Probably pretty much the same gameplay. Maybe somethings would be added or changed.

 

ummm no it would not. Most games that are Multi platform have 1 Basic bulid, then are just quick fitted onto the next sku.

It is almost no extra cost to go mulit platfome, and that is why more and more games are mulit plat, that and you will sell more games.

 

Lastly I think that it will be, if they make another, the day of 3rd party exclusives is gone.

Well, with the announcment of OnLive, the days of console gaming may be over as we know it.

 

 

[/sarcasm]

 

What dose OnLive have to do with 3rd party exclusives? I fail to see your point Good Sir, and Take your tone Badly...

Please clarify if you actually had a point that I am missing.

I'm positive it will be a PS360 game. I can't imagine them making another exclusive, unless Sony pays Konami big time.

 

Given Kojima has more pull at konami now, theres no chance in hell he will water down his beloved franchise to make it work on inferior hardware.

4 million sold and launched on 10 millin user base, no need for going multi.

 

 Your right why would they want to make more profit?

Well, why doesn't S-E release their 360-exclusive JRPGs on the PS3 then?  They would be so much more profit by doing so.

 

Maybe because MS paid for exclusivity. Anyway X360 userbase is > than PS3 userbase so it makes more sense.

 

 

Absolutely not, considering how 60% of the JRPG fanbase is in fact, in Japan where the PS3 user base triples the 360's.

 

 

 

As long as Kojima as anything to do with the game, MGS5 will be exclusive, no doubt.

I still don't see the link between Kojima and PS3...

 

It's called loyalty.

 

Kojima has always stayed loyal to the Playstation brand and the Playstation brand has always been good for him. No wonder why the first four games were exclusive (with the exception of some bogus timed exclusivity that didn't really matter anyway).

Konami said they were going multiplatform from now on, since MGS4 is the only major Konami title not on 360, they could be referring to nothing else.

 

Konami can say whatever they want, but the one thing they won't do is piss off Kojima.

 

 Wow kojima must be a god for you... lol

It's called simple fact.  Konami is not going to risk losing Kojima.  And Kojima has always been a Sony supporter.  It would be like if Nintendo wants to make Mario multiplat, but Miyamoto says no.  Nintendo is not going to override Miyamoto and risk losing him for the sake of making some extra profit.

 

Wow you seem very confused. First of all Kojima works for Konami, not Sony while Miyamoto is working for Nintendo. Konami is a third party publisher and their objective is to make profit not making promotion of the PS3. Nintendo is a first party and won't have any advantage to bring some Mario games multiplatform. Hope that bring more sense to you.

 

We're arguing 2 different points here.  Yes, Konami is 3rd party and its primary goal is to make profit.  However, Kojima and his studio is in charge of the MGS franchise.  Kojima has repeatedly said he's a Sony supporter and intends on keeping the MGS franchise on Sony consoles.  The question then is will Konami listen to Kojima or will they override his stance and release future MGS games on other consoles simultaneously.  My PERSONAL opinion is that they won't because they don't want to risk losing a talent like Kojima.  If you think differently, then fine.  It's a matter of opinion.  Until any official announcement is actually made, everything is just speculation at this point.

 Hello!?!? Kojima doesnt work for Sony but for Konami and last time I checked he didn own the company. And the reason why MGS1-3 went to playstation is quite simple PS1 = 102 millions unit sold, PS2 = 125 millions unit sold. As for MGS4 when they made the game they were expecting the PS3 to be the dominant console again....and we know what happens.

Kojima is an artist, and Because of his quality and perfectionism is a reason why he is successful in this industry. Also the fact that he is loyal to his fanbase in always trying to maximize the potential of whatever console he releases his games on is a testament to MGS staying a Sony exclusive

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

And this is relevent because ?

You really think the userbase is the only reason why Kojima released those games on Playstation ?

No, they made it for PS3 because they knew their fanbase would stick with Sony (which they did).

 Yes the only reason of the exclusivity was the PS1-PS2 userbase. And if the MGS fanbase is sticking with Sony why PS3 sales are just at 22 mlns????
