You are not seeing the big picture. The franchise is no longer an exclusive. That's what I meant by sony can't counter this.

Still, Sony has a ton of big exclusives remaining. Honestly, who cares if the games are exclusive or not. It just means more people get to play them. Wanting other consoles to fail makes no sense. It would result in a monopoly, which is bad for the consumer.

MS sees a franchise, they milk it

I suppose... but I can't believe that a unified-format industry would be so terrible....

With that would come higher prices across the board. Prices wouldn't need to be cut as much or as often, and it might also result in less features. A lot of the features we're seeing with this generation of consoles are likely a result of competition, especially the 360's new motion sensing tech.
 
A unified format industry wouldn't have to be a monopoly industry though. Conceptually at least they could follow the home-movie model where a standard spec is agreed and different manufacturers compete to manufacture the most affordable but otherwise equally compatible machine. It's probably not yet a realistic model, but I'm just saying that 'one size fits all' isn't necessarily all bad.

Honestly, I wonder if there may come a time when the hardware developers simply have to form coalitions to advance their technology, as R&D becomes progressively more expensive and difficult to undertake... Alternatively, we currently take the ever increasing complexity of hardware with software for granted, but what if software development plateaus and hardware capability outstrips the abilities of the vast majority of development houses, whose games end up sloshing around inside cavernous hardware that is pointlessly incompatible with rival machines? I would have thought that a different manufacturing model could come along and wipe the floor with its rivals in such a scenario.
 
FYI guys, before MGS:R was shown, Microsoft's PR rep in charge of the conference said on stage "All games shown from now on are exclusives."

And MGS:R was 'shown' after he said that, so we'll see.

Pointless to speculate IMO
 
metal gear for xbox? YES!!!
no solid snake? meh.

This game was teased in the PS3 Famitsu though, so I guarantee this is either multi-plat, or the PS3 will be getting a Big Boss game.
 
If this was an exclusive they would have never shut up about it in their press conference.
 
The same source wasn't wrong about the PSP title. It's not speculation.
 
Dear Hideo, I would like to see more than some random videos of the storm and Raiden's mug artwork.
 
It's probably going to be a Ninja-Raiden Hack'n'Slash.

I'm not too hyped.
 
As long as it comes to PS3 I'm looking forward to it ... can't say I'm optimistic about the PC port, so it better come to PS3 (and it certainly looks like it is). I don't really see the big deal ... the news is that the 360 is getting the game too ... I don't care. Shit doesn't affect me as long as I get to play it.

I just hope it's good. As shitty a character as Raiden is ... there is potential in a badass cyborg ninja game. Would vastly prefer a prequel centering around Grey Fox though.
 
Being a cyborg ninja was pretty boring in both MGS1:Special Missions and MGS2:Substance IMO.

I think you are describing a PC

They would need to advertise how to put a new card or RAM in it in video advertisements so Moms and newbs can learn how easy it is. Or cheap stores that could do it. Not this $60 an hour bullshit at Circuit Shity.

They also would need a simple rating system to know whether your video card and CPU will be matched to the game you buy.

The greatest thing about the PC is also it's biggest flaw: nobody owns the PC, so there is no marketing for it, no advertising whatsoever.

Microsoft is the closest thing to being able to create some structure and get something going. It looks like they tried with their games for Windows, but they gave up and are concentrating on the 360 100%. Wal-Mart doesn't carry PC games any more as of a few weeks ago. At least not the one where I live.
 
Shame it is, considering how hating the Sony fanboys have been, calling Kojima and Konami for traitors and stuff, saying they should go to hell, I kinda hoped it would be 360 and PC only.
 
MGS: Rising will most likely be released on all platforms simultaneously:

Asked if [Peter Dille, Sony's head of marketing for PlayStation in the U.S.] expected that PS3 owners would be playing Metal Gear Solid Rising on the same day the game comes out on the Xbox 360, Dille said, "Yes, that's correct."

They will probably find something else to moan about. DLC that is just for the 360 or something.



Oh and btw, good move from Kojima that it will be released on PC. Kudo +1 Hideo-san.

Only the stupid fanboys. Only new console I own is a PS3, and I honestly didn't mind this or when Final Fantasy 13 lost exclusivity.
 
I dunno--looks too much like a devil may cry with slashy bullet-time...or the new Ninja Gaidens like someone said. More sneaky damnit!!!

You know you'll get it either way! Embrace the cutting. I'm going to cut up everything.
 
I'm not usually into these slasher games like DMC/GoW, but this seems kinda fun actually.
 
This would be more impressive if I couldn't do the same thing in Wii Sports Resort. :V
 
God yes.

more like metal gear solid: weeaboo
 
*me cries for giving the ps3 to my brother*
