PS3 doesn't even have the original yet. It would make no sense for the sequel to come since it's a very story driven franchise like MGS.


but MGS5 went multiplat and thats the fifth one

There is no MGS5.

There is a bastard child spin-off. And a PSP game.

@NKAJ

There is no MGS5 & will never be one

MGS4 was the end of Snake's Story.....remember it was his final mission



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Uh, Rising is not MGS5. I think you should refer to Carl's post about it.

MGS is not the best example. I mean Rising is coming to 360 and MGS 4 did not.

Mass Effect 1 will never be available on the PS3, because it is published by MS. I don't think ME will make it to the PS3. The fanbase is already on the Xbox360 and a late port won't do anything. I mean, Bioshock sold poorly on the PS3, because it was a late port. A late port of Mass Effect 2, without the original ME on the PS3 just would not work out.

Ninja freaking Gaiden 2.

Microsoft didn't own any part of Ninja Gaiden II. Where as they used to own Mass Effect. I never knew why Microsoft sold Bioware and the Mass Effect IP.

 Stupid move to be honest. I always assumed they agreed to it aslong as Mass Effect remained exclusive to Microsoft platforms but some crappy Mass Effect game was released on the Iphone not long ago.

No, you misunderstand him. He said Mass Effect 1 will never be available on the PS3, because it was published by MS. Ninja Gaiden II was published by MS, and is still being released on PS3.

We understand, Matt, but what about the intellectual property itself? Does EA own the Mass Effectname? "Yes. EA owns the rights to Mass Effect." And so, as far as exclusivity between Mass Effectand Microsoft, that doesn't exist? "That's right," he told us.

Update: Matt Atwood at BioWare just contacted us to clarify his statements from earlier today regarding Mass Effect 2's exclusivity to Xbox 360 and PC. He says, "It actually does exist for Mass Effect 2. And beyond that, we haven't announced any plans."



Oh, shit! Update to the update!



so its looking like mass2 will be on ps3 after exclusive deal ends.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Actually, Peace Walker is the MGS5 Kojima wants deep inside of him.



Please stop. I want these systems to keep their exclusives. It's a way to diversify the consoles themselves. Even if ME2 came to the PS3 I would still get it on Xbox 360.

"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
