"we are open to taking this franchise across to other platforms"
The franchise! doesnt mean mgs4 - just a spin off game or something..

» It will be ps3 exclusive, at least for a year!
I'll tell you whats gonna happen. MGS 4 is gonna be a PS3 exclusive for a year(staying true to PS3) and after that year konami will release a special editions just like they did in the past games in the series like substance and subsistance. This time it will be released for both PS3 and XBOX 360 and kojima will have left the MGS series and it's likely to continue being a multi-platform series from there after.

I would buy that but even if MGS4 went multiplatform I would still buy it for ps3.

» STUPID PAPARAZZIS
paparazzis are to blame to all the ramblings in the world of video game news. they are so stupid, they take a joke from a Titled person and make it NEWS.
MGS franchise doesnt mean its actually MGS4,
my guess is that xbox 360 and or Wii may also get their own version of Metal Gear Online. some cheesy MGS version for the DS. all new revisions of metal gear digital graphics novels and mgs card games.
oh and 4th quarter 2008, hmmn by then the hype is all dry, ps3 still manages to sell because of all other great titles. hey konami, if you release MGS4 on the said time period and have people unhyped MGS4 sales will be lower as to if you release it on 1st quarter. just like these Metal Gear Anniversary game set of everything on ps2 and psp, which is not selling very good here in japan. in most stores they have to mark down the price from 6980 to 5600 Yen just so they can move it out.

Qj doesnt tell you the full news. They actually interviewed the Xbox Japan General Manager Takahashi Sensui, and asked about MGS4 going multi and he said it wasnt true and that he was only there because him and Konami go back a long time ago and are good friends. Check it out if you dont belive me.

Even if it was true about MGS4 coming to the 360, since MGS4 has not been announced for the 360 yet, everyone is going to deny it's existance or that it's being developed for the console.
What did you expect him to say? "Yeah MGS4 is going multiplatform and ... DOH!" ;)

i dont think its going to use the cell processors full power if it can be done in the 360.
And isnt MGS4 already 39 gigabytes? How is that going to fit on a DVD9 disc? And compersion is not good. It messes up the true audio quality and some video quality. If its going to go multiplatform it might not be as good as the PS3 version.

"i dont think its going to use the cell processors full power if it can be done in the 360."
The power between both consoles are very close, hence there is nothing the PS3 can do that cannot be done on the 360, and vice-versa, except there will be some things BOTH consoles can do BETTER than the other. Stop falling for the hype.
"And isnt MGS4 already 39 gigabytes? How is that going to fit on a DVD9 disc? And compersion is not good. It messes up the true audio quality and some video quality."
Ever heard of multiple disks? Not exactly rocket science now is it? ;) The structure of MGS4 games makes them perfectly suitable for multiple disks. Sure being all on one Blu-ray disk is convenient, but unless you plan on playing through MGS4 in one sitting, multiple disks would not be a problem.

» I'm not worried
IF MSG 4 goes multi platform. I don't think that this will be the demise of the PS3. It would sure suck for Sony but I don't think droves of people will be selling their PS3. Devil May Cry 4 and Ace Combat has gone multi platform so this will just be another *****ty day at the office for the Ps3.
If Halo were to go to the PS3(which will not happen) I don't think 360 owners will not be all that worried.
Going mutil platform seem to be what developers are doing now as theres money to be made doing so.
With Rockstar getting 50 Million for exclusive content, I think that it will be more bad than good on all gamers. Now developers will wait and see which company will be willing to pay a lot of extra cash to make a game exclusive to a console.

I am so happy! I know that the 360 could really use this, all they have for the next year is Halo. Mass Effect does not appeal to most gamers like GeoW did. I may not like changing discs all the time but it will be worth it. It may even kill a lot of 360's, but at least we got a point from sony.
Go Halo, GeoW + that stupid Pinata game!

It's been just a few days since they announced exclusivity at E3, and it would be ridiculous for Konami to make a huge announcement like that in regards to MGS4. Yea, I can see the franchise as a whole going to other platforms(as it has), but you don't announce exclusivity and then revoke it immediately afterwards. And people will say, "even though Kojima says it's exclusive Konami doesn't care", but that's just ridiculous to think that Konami and one of their most prized developers would be at such odds with each other.

"Z0mg these are just rumors DMC is ALWAYS going to be exclusive to Sony"
Capcom: DMC 4 will be released on 360. No lost planet for PS3.
"z0mg well we still have GTA IV"
Rockstar: GTA IV is coming on 360...with more ***** (I don't give a ***** how much MS payed for more content, it means that I AM getting it).
"fine well we still have great new Ips like assasins-"
Ubisoft: "Nah thats going there too"
"well our racers are-"
Koei: We just canceled that game you guys were hyping so much about the graphics, what was it called erm...Fatal Inertia.
"well we have Virtua fighter, and that game requires true skill unlike DOA"
Sega: Which is exactly why we are giving it to 360, with MORE STUFF.
Does anyone see a pattern? I don't care whether you WANT to believe it or not, history repeats itself, and it WILL occur. Especially once the huge boom of consoles sell with Bioshock, Halo 3, and Mass effect, three of the biggest titles this fall. Not to mention winter with AC, DMC 4, etc. It doesn't matter that they are also coming out on PS3 because the simple fact is that the 360 is cheaper, and the inevitable price drop that will soon follow will make the 360 nearly 300 dollars cheaper than the more expensive (and soon only) version, causing more people to to buy 360s because they would rather SAVE that 300 dollars and get..hmm idk 5 games?

Show me a single person who said that.
It sure wasn't me. Floating point matters, parallel processing matters, conditional logic matters, and many other factors.
Saying that cell sucks entirely at AI because of logic performance is as simplistic as saying GHz is the only way to measure processor performance.

President Tanaka also stated, "As we are aware of the popularity and hardware-driving power of this software franchise, going forwards we are open to taking this franchise across to other platforms".
Pretty much says it all, huh? Takahashi Sensui just delivered a large suitcase of money. Money sony could only dream of spending for breaking exclusive game rights, or paying for an exclusive game in the first place.
Why waste such a good game (the only good PS3 game by the way) on a measely 3 million userbase? That's the same sales of the ill fated 3D0! Doesn't make sense!

As has been said multiple times, the PS3 and 360 have sold at almost exactly the same pace if you match their launch times together.
That's good for Sony because despite their crappy line-up, it matched the 360's better line-up at its time.
Sales can only get better as more games come out, exclusive or not.

This is my opinion on the matter: MGS4, as it currently stands, will NOT be ported over to the 360. However, future titles in the Metal Gear franchise (and you can bet that there will be future titles) stand a pretty good chance of being multiplatform.
If you look at Pres. Tanaka's statement, "As we are aware of the popularity and hardware-driving power of this software franchise, GOING FORWARDS we are open to taking this FRANCHISE across to other platforms", it seems to imply that he is open to having FUTURE GAMES in the Metal Gear software franchise being released across multiple platforms.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Kojima Productions will be involved in the development of future titles in this franchise.
Regards,
MTK

Completely agree with you and the other guy that mentioned this.
Whether or not MGS4 ever does get ported over (only time will tell us, not fanboy gamers from either side), Kojima has definitely left the FRANCHISE of MGS open to all platforms...and he's smart to do so.
MGS is one of the most popular games ever created and releasing subsequent games on multiple platforms ensures them the ability to recoup development costs of MGS4 and whatever else he has planned.
Fanning the rumor flame is part of hardcore gamers lives, but 360 people shouldn't be upset if MGS4 never makes it them.

» its all business and econ
here's the deal,
the ps3 has a pretty small install base worlwide. the cost of development for a game like metal gear is through the roof. now i understand kojima-son is not a big fan of the 360, however kojima-son is not in charge of konami business decisions. so trust me with a install base of over 10 mill by 08 , the 360 is almost certain to get a port of mgs4. it is more than likely that konami has a separate team porting it over as we speak right now. konami, just like any other business is interested in increasing its revenue in order to increase its profits. that is the goal of any company, it is common sense. konami's loyalty is to its investors, not to stupid acne faced, female repellent fanboys like most of u are. if anything the ps3 will get about 3-6 months timed exclusivity for this title. expect tekken 6 to go the same route.

The 360 install base has hardly moved this year from 10 million (fact), while the PS3 install base is growing all the time with a current 6 million (fact). So by the time MGS4 is released (after Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Lair etc.) the PS3 will probably be there or there abouts; therefore your logic goes in the bin.
