You'll have to root around to find the correct order, but I found a user on youtube that's uploaded the gameplay and cutscenes of the games. Ugh, I want to play the second one again....

I agree. This thread has made me want to pop it into my PS3 the moment I get home from work.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Will it be bundled with a demo for the next MGS game? That might help sales.

LOL. MGS2 says...Yes it will!

Looks like everything is going PS3 exclusive. I guess 3rd parites and Sony have decided to lose money together.

In this case I understand why PS3 would get the exclusivity over 360...first 2 are on PS platform and 360 userbase isn't very familiar with this game. However Wii could also be a pretty good home for this game.

 

Didn't the PS3 fanboys claimed something similar for games like Ace Combat, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Tekken, etc...?  But even more similar, games like Katamari, Culdcept, and Star Ocean were not as well known which only had 360 releases until the recent announcement of Katamari.  Besides, your claim isn't logical with "I guess 3rd parites and Sony have decided to lose money together."  If it's to loose money on the PS3 while not being familiar on the 360 userbase, why make the game at all?  Hmmm....

Cause if you made it for the PS3...porting it to a 360 should be a 2 man weekend job :)

Even if it doesn't sell as good on the 360, porting it over should be a breeze and it should sell enough to cover dev costs and then some.

Because MGS4 lost money, right?

 

 

MGS4 sold extremely well...but I dont see ZOE4 picture on ever ps3 box sold with it saying next to it "You spent 500 dollars on this machine to play this game" or E3 videos of the game 3 years early...

With that "even if it doesn't sell as much as the PS3 version" clause in there, who's to say that the amount the 360 sold won't just cover it's OWN dev costs, thus making it's version, financially, pretty useless? I'm sure that's what you're referencing, because everytime talks of a PS3 3rd party exclusive come up, the typical response is, "Port to 360 to recoup dev costs" and never "Will the 360 version recoup its' own dev costs and PS3 dev costs, THEN make profit?"

Absolutely correct, but then I don't see ZOE3 costing as much as MGS4 either.  So just the idea that it won't sell like MGS4 doesn't necessitate that it'll lose money.

 Yah, thats what I mean. Lets say it sells 400K on ps3 and 250K on 360 (cause of Japan or previous ZOE fanbase being on PS brand name)...the 250K should be enough to cover the 360 dev cost and maybe take some % off the overall cost of the game. After all, its been said that porting a game to ps3 or 360 adds 10% to final cost.

Obviously the game wont cost as much as MGS4 to make...probably a 3rd if that much, but these times are harsh for all publishers and I don't see why they would not want to get a few milllion dollars extra revenue on a 20 million dollar investment.

I loved ZOE2 and would love it if this rumor is true.
