Konami says MGS4 may be a multiconsole game

[Spidey17]

Indeed. And PP2280, some people don't wait because they want to get a new system as soon as possible, not everyone has the godly patience you do. I do though, and I'm also broke, which helps.

i'm surprised this thread hasn't been closed yet. there's no reason what-so-ever to suspect MGS4 will be ported.

 

[Purple Prancer]

There have been NUMEROUS rumors circulating forever, like with GTA IV.....and Assassin's Creed....etc.


p.s. awwwwwwww

 

[DorkyFresh]

yeah but the rumors for GTA and Assassin's Creed weren't actually rumors. as of of now, the rumors for MGS4 being ported are exactly what they are.....rumors. up till now Konami hasn't changed their tune with MGS4 being exclusive......so again, i'm surprised this thread that has the title "Konami says MGS4 may be a multiconsole game" is still open even though Konami has never said anything of the kind.

GTA4 and AC were NEVER exclusive. Sony never said that and neither have Ubisoft or Rockstar. MGS4 is different as its been reiiterated over and over by both Sony and Konami as being exclusive. Thats where the difference lies

lol

I love the "if it eventually gets announced for another system, then it was never exclusive in the first place" mentality that some people have developed here.

exactly when were GTA4 and AC announced as exclusives? Do you have any links or direct quotes? Ubisoft has said that they wanted to make AC exclusive for the PS3 but Sony didnt go for it. As far as GTA4, Sony stupidly passed up on that in favor of getting exclusive rights to a new IP to be developed by Rockstar. There were never any reports that either game had exclusive deals for the PS3. Anything otherwise was just fan speculation

Assassin's Creed is still labeled as a PS3 exclusive by many. It is only fair to say that Ubisoft has never made an official statement regarding whether or not the game will be exclusive, just that it's in development for the PlayStation 3.

Again, Ubisoft never claimed it was exclusive to the PS3. That was just an assumption that people made, that they never confirmed.

 

[Addendum]

And that assumption was based on the fact that when Assassin's Creed was shown at the '06 E3, the only system it was announced for was the PS3. Until they officially said that it would be multi-plat, Ubisoft wouldn't comment about it going to the 360.

But, no. Everyone was supposed to infer that it was going multi-plat, even though there was nothing that said it would, besides rumors, UNTIL Ubisoft said so.

regardless....Assassin's Creed wasn't touted as a PS3 exclusive the way MGS4 is still be advertised as.

and that was my point. Konami has released numerous trailers stating that fact as well as going on the record in magazine interviews and press conferences. None of that was ever done for AC

Exactly, Devil May Cry 4 and Virtua Fighter 5 are far better examples of games that were Playstation 3 exclusive, but ended up on the Xbox 360 than piss poor examples of Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto IV.

People are still doing the "Assassin's Creed was never announced as a Ps3 exclusive" schtick? Really?

 

[Timstuff]

Well it wasn't. No deal was ever made to make AC PS3 exclusive, and there was never an announcement of exclusivity. Ubi-Soft was merely holding out hoping that Sony would offer them some $$$ to make it PS3 only, which is why they were quiet about the 360 version at first. However, Sony smartly chose to save their cash (which unfortunately, ended up getting spent on that POS Lair instead), so Ubi-Soft then announced the 360 version, which had been in development since day one. If Sony had sent them a fat check, they would have canned the 360 version, but they didn't.

With MGS4 however, we've had it beaten over our heads time and time again that it will be PS3 only by both Sony and Konami. It's obvious that there's been some kind of deal between the two companies, and ontop of that, Hideo Kojima is fairly loyal to the Playstation format when it comes to MGS. The two scenarios couldn't be more different.

yeah....that was dumb move. Lair looked promising, and with a few more months of development it could've been a decent game but if they paid Ubisoft for AC to be a PS3 exclusive they would've gotten a much needed boost.

With MGS4 however, we've had it beaten over our heads time and time again that it will be PS3 only by both Sony and Konami.

The two scenarios couldn't be more different.

exactly...Kojima has mentioned many times how Playstation has been good to the Metal Gear series and how he wants to honor that partnership by having some sort of exclusivity. there's always a chance that, a year or so after MGS4's release, it could be ported over to the 360 but up till now there are no signs of that.

Jeasus, this arguments never gonna f'ing end.

Who wants Assassin's Creed anyway? I prefer games where I don't just hold down R1 and X to do everything.

Its a good thing the PS3 didn't get it as an exclusive in the end imo. Alot of people enjoyed it but its been seen as a major dissapointment by alot of games media. It would make the PS3 more of a laughing stock than people already see it as. Plus my good friend Blas wouldn't get to play it!

I'm gonna chop your empty head off and take a s**t in it because that's what it is good for without a brain.

You know I actually thought "Do I post this? Because Fenrir will obviously come after me." my bluff didn't work.
