After DMC 4 platform crossover, Microsoft wants Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy next |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Germany, Hideo Kojima, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Microsoft, playstation 3 updates
Ó
O snap. Just when we thought the whole Devil May Cry 4 exclusivity turnabout would be over, apparently, it could potentially be just the beginning. Turns out that DMC4 is just one of the three titles that Microsoft was aiming to bring on over to the 360. In his dreisechzig.net blog, MS Germany product manager Boris Schneider-Johne had posted a revealing post which sparked debates far and wide. Because we don't want any room for misinterpretation, we will replicate his blog post word-for-word here. It's ultimately your decision how you will regard this bit of info:
One down, two to go - 20. Mar. 2007 um 13:57 - Kategorien Xbox 360
- Devil May Cry
- Final Fantasy
- Metal Gear Solid
((Yes, this is just a personal checklist of franchises that I and plenty of others would like to see on Xbox 360. In no way, shape or form is that an announcement list, an internal Microsoft shopping list, a "I know more than you do" list or something like that. Somebody in an english-language forum called this "a gloating employee" and he maybe is right. And I've seen suggestions that Grand Theft Auto and Tekken should be on this list too - so your mileage will inevitably vary.))
Got it? His "shopping list" does not confirm anything. In fact, we're not even sure if this counts as a rumor because there isn't really any sound basis for any form of open-ended speculation - he declared and stamped his foot down quite clearly already: in no way, shape, or form is it an announcement. We did tag it under "Opinions and Analysis" though. Because that's the brunt of the matter here.
If anything, this is not much different from Hironobu Sakaguchi expressing his interest in bringing Final Fantasy over to the 360. We'd also like to add that Hideo Kojima himself even expressed his own thoughts of bringing MGS to the Wii. See? Developers do it all the time. Expressing one's interest in other consoles is normal. And just because someone is interested on something doesn't make that something automatically happen.

Create a next gen title is really expensive and I believe that we will see really few exclusive.
MGS problably will arrive on 360 problably with some delay like in the past.
FF it's really hard because after the film "Final Fantasy The Spirit Within" Sony bought around 20/30 % of Square it seems that everyone forgot this.
For me this generation will see exclusive title only for the title developed inside (Gran Turismo, God Of War, Forza Motorsport) until someone will have a big presence in the market.
P.S. Please, sorry for my terrible english :)

They are not Sony's games, they are all 3rd party publishers, and if they would like an extra 15+ million people(by the time MGS4 launches) to sell their game too, then they should release on 360. With the extra dev costs for developing this next gen (most of which are artistic and media content, which can be easly transfered between platforms) it just makes sense to release on as many platforms as possible..
Maybe Sony needs to start making some decent first party titles...

Those are 3rd party developers they are FREE to choose or accept money from any of the 3 console manufacturers.
Got it? Just because YOUR P$3 is oh soooooooooooooo oooooooo great doesn't mean those people don't know how to do business.

1) Ring of Dead

I would select 2.

People need to realize that this isnt MS fault, its isnt capcoms fault. They are in this game to make money.
Its Sony fault, for over hyping and under delivering. Remember all the CGI videos that were supposilby in game. These were there just to sway people from the 360. And now MS is doing kinda the same tactic, and you all scream foul. Sony messed up by thinking we were all morons, and would blindly buy the PS3. And i still agree that the PS3 is a Blueray Trogen Horse. And if they left out Blueray, the PS3 would have been #1 again.

As far as FFXIII goes, that game is running on the white engine, and even though the Blue Dragon guy speculated it was open platform, the white engine is actually optimized for Cell. So maybe they will bring the FF series to the xbox, but I would imagine, those would be later installments with the UE3.

And lets not forget about Assasins Creed.
No 3rd party games are ever really exclusive, however I do believe the PS3 will succeed with it's 1st party titles.

The XBOX 360 only has 3 and the PS3 has 8+1 so it would not work and I'm sure the game will be a lot bigger than 8.5 GBs and I doubt Microsoft wants multidic games!

I guess it would be too hard to show a little respect to other companies other than the one you're supporting with all your heart?
We lost Ninja Gaiden to PS3, plus it has all of it's extras only for PS3. If Sony gets what's labeled the Greatest action game of all time, then it's only fair we get a decent replacement.
I myself would call Devil May Cry 1 the Greatest action game ever made and would love to see a remake on the PS3 and 360. Oh well, one can only dream.
