Weren't there alot of peopel recently shouting that Kojima doesn't do cross plat games???
If so then MGS:Rising is 360 exclusive or atleast timed exclusive with an enhanced version coming to a different platform like twin snakes and MGS2 substance.

I'd also like to point out that it's A SPIN:OFF.... relax...

Microsoft is having a disastrous E3 Conference. I think they've lost all momentum as a result of this.

First a bit about the games. The Games that they've announced so far haven't been anything too bad. Some of them Final Fantasy XIII, Modern Warfare 2, Shadow Complex, Crackdown 2 ("Let's not pull a Nintendo and at least give the true fans something"), Left 4 Dead 2, and possibly the new Splinter Cell are and will be quite good.  (I don't know about Forza 3 being the definitive racing game of the gen, I think 2 million copies of GT5 sold in Japan to 50,000 for Forza 3 there will have something to say about that.)

However, it appears that Microsoft is now trying to milk the Halo series for all its worth and it looks as if its worth is declining rapidly from the video shown of ODST and Halo: Reach. Where is Peter Jackson when you need him to save this mess?

Alan Wake was shown in playable form. However, it looks nothing as good as the most recent videos for Sony's Heavy Rain. And, even worse than that it has been postponed until Spring 2010. This game has been in development since 2005 at least. And, if you listen to xbox fans and history it is the Sony Playstation 3 that always has its games postponed. Well, not in this case. I mean Killzone 2 came out this January (looking far better than the new Halo games premiering today) and most likely both GT5 and FFXIII will be out in Japan by the end of the year.

Then they went into a long discussion about how you can watch movies and tv shows on 360 and use it for social networking. I don't buy videogame consoles for that purpose. Game consoles are for games.

Kojima came out to announce Metal Gear Solid Rising for the 360. But Solid Snake is retired and no one really cares about Metal Gear Solid post Snake. If it had been the announcement of a 360 version of MGS 4 or Policenauts 2 coming to 360 maybe it could have had some impact, but it just seemed anti-climatic.  Also, they didn't announce FF Versus XIII.  That means it is still probably exclusive to PS3 at least in Japan because it should launch within the next year over there.

But by far the worse thing I've ever seen at a videogame conference is now being announced. Project Natal. I'm going on 40 years old, I've been gaming since 2600 days and after years of living a sedentary lifesytle, eating pizza, taking it easy, I don't have any use for a game controller that is going to have to make me use whatever physical abilities I have left. Especially if it could totally replace standard controllers. Trust me going on 40 years old with no muscle tone and being at least fifty pounds overweight, the best controller I can ever have is not me.



Microsoft's E3 2009 makes Nintendo's 2008 E3 look like the best one ever.

I called no MGS4 though, and I was right ^^b I was wrong on Gears3 however, ah well.

Someone please call the Waaaaaahmbulance! There's a whiner here!

Get over it. This is childish and rediculous!

They hated him until MGS4...

I loved him since MGS2

btw, I was laughing the entire time with the natal thing, it's great lol, it will no longer be wiimotes breaking TVs, it will be people and more money for the ambulance. people just might die from electrical shock playing this XD.

Famitsu have been wrong before. And Star Ocean 4 was all over Dengeki Playstation magazine just two weeks before it was announced as a 360 exclusive. At the end of the video there was a bunch of logos, but there was no Playstation logo anywhere. Also they did say earlier that all games shown from then on would be 360 console exclusive.

Though it is somewhat suspicious that Microsoft/Kojima didn't specifically confirm exclusivity during the presentation. I'm guessing it's not exclusive, but let's not jump to conclusions.

It's not exclusive so why are you whining so much? Also, why did you conceive me into opening this thread, expecting to find whinig about Natal and all the other casual features that neglect the core gamers (well, MS doesn't seem to be doing that, unlike Nintendo).

I'd wager that the OP doesn't share his ball on the playground.

Seriously, why wouldn't you be happy that more people have the opportunity to play an ostensibly great game?
