MGS4 statement disappears from article

Yesterday, Yahoo JP's article contained a statement from Konami at TGS 2008 that they were considering porting MGS4 to Xbox 360. Today, that same article has been edited and no longer contains any mention of MGS4 at all.

In its place, Konami states that in the future they will pursue a multiplatform strategy.

Babelfish Translation:
"While utilizing the feature of each platform, in the future and it does multi-platform development", ([konami] Public Relations Dept. room monitor Nakazima Chiaki the person) with we have done, say it may that the same company multiple it develops the plural powerful brands and by the fact that balance well it sells, it is arranging the body which aims toward the achievement enlargement which is stabilized.

Sony is pulling some strings ;)

Darkseider6424d ago

Plain and simple MGS4 will not go to another console. Now as for any future MGS releases that's up in the air. Problem is that if it goes multi-plat the PS3 should be the lead console and then ported down to the XBox 360. Otherwise it will have to be developed with the least common denominator in mind and well, we all see how that goes.

ThatCanadianGuy6424d ago

I honestly don't care if the next Metal gear game goes multi
I thought that MGS4 had the perfect ending for (IMO) the best game ever made.Im content with The finale of Solid snake.

It'a time to pass the story on to someone else.And it just means more people will get to experience the amazing story telling of
Hideo Kojima.I don't see what's wrong with that.

As long as PS3 is the lead platform.

eric1006424d ago

MGS4 is only possible on PS3

MGS4 uses 50 gig Blu Ray

MGS4 uses data streaming capability of CELL

MGS4 /5/6/7 all will be exclusive to Playstation brand

Plus console war is over ---thanks to LBP

DARKKNIGHT6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

Realistically, everyone should know by now that if you wanna play METAL GEAR SOLID 4....you must buy a PS3 to play it on. You can then use purchased ps3 to further entertain yourself(music,video,photos,in ternet). Then i highly suggest you buy DARK KNIGHT on BLURAY, and truly experience next gen picture quality and SOUND.

I wonder why ps3 owners are not obsessed with halo3......or any other games for that matter that are exclusive to the mighty x360

"I wonder why ps3 owners are not obsessed with halo3......or any other games for that matter that are exclusive to the mighty x360 "

you are really a funny man lol

anyway , Halo 3 was developed by Bungie which was first party deve and It was published by M$ , so there is no way in hell is gonna be released on the ps3 . MGS4 is a third party exclusive . I hope you see the differences lol

DARKKNIGHT6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

you know whats funny? You quoted me : "I wonder why ps3 owners are not obsessed with halo3......OR any other games for that matter that are exclusive to the mighty x360"
your english fails you my friend

you know whats even funnier? that i cant even count how many times this "DREAM port" was proved false.RoR

question: Is there even such a thing as x360 exclusive, or are they all on pc/timed/purpo$ely delayed?

TheSadTruth6424d ago

Little Big Planet is a good game, but it's no Super Mario.

OgTheClever6424d ago

No, it goes above and beyond Super Mario.

No Way6423d ago

"you know whats even funnier? that i cant even count how many times this "DREAM port" was proved false.RoR"

Uhm, that's not really a reason as to why MGS4 wouldn't show up on MGS4. Why do I say that? Simply cause I can't count how many times BioShock was denied in going to the PS3..

No Way6423d ago

I mean.. Uhm, that's not really a reason as to why MGS4 wouldn't show up on 360.

hehe. =)

AAACE56423d ago

If by some remote chance MGS 4 did come to 360... The fanboys would jump on the defensive ans say... "MS paid for it!" or "Konami is getting greedy like SquareEnix!" or some kind of biased, angry comment!

Multiplat from 3rd parties is the future people! Get used to it! Not saying MGS 4 will hit 360, but alot of developers will lean toward multiplat because the cost of making these games is too much to risk on one console!

If MGS4 goes to the Xbox360, i will loose all respect for Hideo Kojima. Honestly it is the Last epic 3rd party exclusive game we have.

Shane Kim6424d ago

Are you crazy son. It's still the same game on PS3.

Exorgasm6424d ago

You would no longer respect the man behind what most people believe to be the best game this generation because he would allow the game to be enjoyed by a wider audience? All respect gone because he might want to make more money or make it available to more gamers and didn't concern himself with pathetic console-loyalist shenanigans?

You are a sad strange little man. You have my pity.

juuken6424d ago

It wouldn't be Kojima's fault if this game went multiplatform though. :/

morganfell6424d ago

Well it would be because Kojima has the authority to stop it. When Studios wanted to make a Metal Gear Movie (Sony won out) they had to negotiate with Kojima, not Konami.

cereal_killa6424d ago

I don't think that it would be Kojima's fault if it goes to the 360 he has stated several time that "it (MSG4) will not go to the 360 so stop asking " if Konami decided to port MSG4 to the 360 I doubt that Kojima will even be involved in it..

Plus to be honest why are fanboys getting all giddy for another game (rumored) going multi-plat I personally would be getting pissed at M$ spending (wasting) money on games going multi-plat or exclusive DLC for usless games (Tomb Raider) instead of investing money into getting some up n coming developers to make a new and innovated games.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart87d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby87d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb198187d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran887d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro800d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72800d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_800d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga800d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos800d ago (Edited 800d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23800d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000800d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin800d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole800d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix800d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989800d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor800d ago (Edited 800d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989800d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
