E3 2009

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, brown grass. That's very... uninformative.

 

[Tron Bonne]

No, you see, if you look close enough, there's Panda stalking those folk

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Dont know what it is, but im pretty sure its not gonna be MGS5. Ohhhh but i hope i am sooooo wrong.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I know the next chapter in MGS is inevitable, with or without Kojima, but right now I think is a little too soon to start a new chapter. I would like to see him revisit some of his older titles now. I wouldn't mind seeing a new ZOE, Snatcher, Policenauts or maybe the Grasshopper co-developed project

 

[Addendum]

I'd like an official version of Policenauts to come out stateside

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Ill be disappointed by any announcement thats not either a new Metal Gear Solid or a MGS4 port to the 360. Im pretty sure im going to be disappointed by this announcement, haha.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Maybe it's going to be Flower, Kojima style.

What about the extended version of MGS4. It's bound to happen as it usually does, if this is a MGS-related announcement, it's probably that.

Same, Kojima has a lot of other franchises I'd love to see him revisit.

As long as its a full MGS game, ill be fine. I really, really want it to be an announcement of MGS4 for the 360, for NO other reason than to watch the Sony fanboy reactions. Ohh it would be SOOOOO good.

Snatcher sequel, FTW!

Well, I don't care about a port per say, but if MS is keeping Mass Effect 2 I would prefer to see MGS4 stay on the PS3. If one system is going to have an AAA exclusive third party title, I think it's right to have the balance of one each. No need to single out spite for any one group of fanboys

 

[Tron Bonne]

Snatcher sequel, FTW!

Love to see it or Policenauts. I never got to play either of those gems, it would be nice to see a sequel or re-envisioning of one of them. I personally think now is a good time to let Metal Gear cool down and work on something else. I love the franchise, but I would not mind seeing a nice in between period to start a new saga

 

[Nightmare]

Come on guys. Its clearly a new MGS game exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

 

[Tron Bonne]

And it'll be an on-rails shooter, too

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/13/loose-cannon-studios-assembled-shooting-to-announce-titles-at-e/

Loose Cannon Studios is a new independent development team set up by two Sucker Punch veterans, Dev Madan and Matthew Scott, along with Ricci Rukavina, who previously worked at Universal Interactive Studios and Vivendi. According to the company's website it was founded in 2005 and its employees have worked on such franchises as Sly Cooper, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Jak And Daxter and Uncharted. That's quite a pedigree.

Loose Cannon will reveal its first title at E3, which will be based on a new home-grown IP and aim for release on the PS3, 360 and Wii in late summer or early fall. That's really soon, considering they're just now announcing their existence to the world. We're definitely intrigued to see what the company has to show at E3, though the website also promises more announcements in the weeks leading up to the show itself.

Well imo, Sony fanboys are more rabid than MS or Nintendo fanboys which is why i wanna see MGS4 head to the 360. However i love seeing any type of fan boy get a kick to the pills. Its why i still pray that a Mass Effect or Gears of War ends up going to the PS3.

 

[Brainiac 8]

If I had my choice I would want a Zone of the Enders 3...as I loved the first two.

I'm not the biggest MGS fan.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I guess, I actually think Nintendo ones are, by far, the worst. There's not many on this board, but I have seen some absolutely horrid examples of them. However, they both have their groups which are pretty bad. The Sony ones weren't really all that bad until this gen, when they've more or less had everything exclusive yanked out from under them, not to mention totally excluded from certain content for big titles. Pretty rough to be a Sony fanboy these days I hear

If ME2 heads the PS3 way I wouldn't mind seeing MGS4 head to the 360. Either way, I personally wouldn't mind, but right now, from an unbias and unbashing POV, everything has a nice balance.

I dont think there is balance until every MS game and every Sony game goes to each others console. Exclusives are stupid.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I mean balance is balance. One AAA exclusive on one system to another. I liked balance, if one goes, they both should. If one stays, they both should to me

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I disagree, because one AAA title cant be compared to another AAA title imo. Put it this way. Before i had a PS3 i would have given up Mass Effect, Halo AND Gears to get MGS4. If im saying, i want MGS4 to come to the 360 and someone says, 'well but MS has Mass Effect', my first reaction is, "big deal", imo, Mass Effect doesnt even come close to MGS4. I see what you mean tho.

This is all COMPLETELY MOOT tho, as i have both systems now and dont have to worry bout exclusives. I just hate exclusives in general. The only kind of 'exclusives' i can deal with are things that come with like a collectors edition. Ya know, buy the special edition and get a special map/weapon/etc.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I don´t know why, but i have the feeling that his new game will be a 360 exclusive.
I might be wrong, i have nothing to back it up, besides the feeling that, for not having MGS4 on the 360, Microsoft might have gone to Kojima and asked for the next game to be on their console.
And, i can´t find no reason why he would say no...unless he can´t stand the console.
This might be one of Microsoft´s big announcements.

It really all depends on what game is being developed.

If it's a new IP, then I can definitely see it being an Xbox 360 exclusive. Despite never developing for the Xbox 360, he loves Gears of War and in the offices while developing Metal Gear Solid 4, Ryan Payton would hand out a 360 controller to get people to play it.

He has also said that if he ever developed a game on the 360, it would be exclusive because he prefers his games being exclusive to a particular system. And he has mentioned a willingness to develop for it as well and has been more open to the idea of a multiplatform game.

But if it's a Metal Gear or a Zone of the Enders game, the chances of it being an Xbox 360 exclusive is 0%. No way. No how. Not ever going to happen. And if Kojima wants to continue not making games for the Xbox 360, Konami is going to let him because he's their top developer, he has a lot of influence in the company, and they make an assload of money from his games even when they're exclusive to the PlayStation.

Well, I think you can compare the two. Sure, you and me obviously prefer MGS4, but in the sense of name and presence they are both fairly similar. ME may be a new IP, but it the first got almost universal praise, and it's being developed by Bioware, easily one of the biggest and most respected developers in the business.

I'd say there's a significant amount of people who want to play both games on both consoles.

I concur, I'm not trying to make a big deal or anything. If one jumps ship and the other doesn't it isn't like I'm going to don the Cobra Commander helmet, shake my fists in rage and declare war on the united fronts of EA, Bioware, Konami and Kojima.

It's just so balanced from a third party viewpoint this time around. In the PS2 era it was pretty much impossible, now it seems a shame to tip the 3rd part balance one way or the other

I still think Kojima has a lot of loyalty to Sony. He seems a lot likeTomonobu Itagaki, he has a bias and it's pretty obvious, but he'll never come out and say it. He's not a dick and seems a lot less full of himself then Itagaki can ever downgrade to, but you know what I mean. Plus, he ****ing loves him some Apple, and we all know that Apples and Microsofts are mortal enemies in the wild

I think that all three consoles have very different types of fanboys.

The Nintendo fanboys seem to be the most rabid who refuse to think that Nintendo does somethings wrong. Sorta like Square-Enix fans. I find them to be the most amusing because they're not whiny little bastards or rude or anything. They just really, really, REALLY love Nintendo.

While the PlayStation fanboys come off as the biggest crybabies who cry and make rants like this:
http://ffxiii360.ytmnd.com/
http://tiredgamer.ytmnd.com/
They're the most annoying.

The Xbox fanboys on the other hand I find to be completely off putting by their rather *******ish attitude. They're not the type that would care about a multiplatform Mass Effect or Gears of War. They're just....*****. Especially going by Xbox Live users

Kojima is nothing at all like Itagaki. Itagaki hates anything from Sony with a rabid passion. Kojima on the other hand likes the Xbox.

Itagaki is an obnoxious fanboy in game developer form. Kojima on the other hand prefers to treat his games as if they were an artform, it doesn't matter on what platform.
