Jack Tretton On MGS4 Exclusivity

Kotaku talks with Jack Tretton, the President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, about the exclusivity of Metal Gear Solid 4.

Jack Tretton:
"It will appear first on the PlayStation 3. What happens years down the road? I have no idea."

As soon as it is announced for xbox, we will say it is a crappy game anyway. How about we flood the site with articles about one games possible exclusivety, and lets forget that all the other MGS games were just rediculously boring and crappy until then.

ITR6891d ago

Don't mock the MG fanbase.

tehcellownu6891d ago

the 360 cant handle mgs4 it be downgraded..but no video equals bs!!

I have read several posts on here claiming that Metal Gear Solid 4 could not be made on Xbox 360. Simply not true as Hideo Kojima himself said it to be so. There wouldn't be this HUGE downgrade as some seem to believe...on the contrary..."Maybe some nuance or a small details here and there might be different, but I feel that hardware is no longer a matter" as put by Kojima-san. Of course there would be changes as the game would be optimized to take advantage of X360's strengths..just like is being optimized now to take advantage of PS3's strengths. So despite the words of any fanboy MGS4 could be faithfully represented on X360 (FACT).

http://www.1up.com/do/minis... (4-page hideo kojima interview from a while ago)

Someone mentioned how its "unacceptable" to swap discs because this is not the "ps1" era. Disc Swapping did not stop with PS1...It was a very prevelent practice on gamecube and on DVD movies. Even God of War 2 shipped with 2discs...as all the special features we placed on a second disc. How is it so different from swapping Disc 1 of Scrubs season 1 for Disc 2? It isn't. I doubt that MGS4 is significantly longer than any of the previous MGS titles....around 10-15hrs of gameplay. Blue Dragon on X360 is roughly 50-60 hours of gameplay..not including the amount of video. MGS4 will be nowhere near that long. I think X360 fans of the MGS series would find a 1-2 disc...even a 3-4 disc MGS4 more than acceptable. What many people fail to realize is that Bigger games don't mean LONGER games..at least not right now. If MGS4 takes up 20 gigs on a BR-disc its still only gonna be 10-15hr long game. Is that truly taking advantage of the extra storage space of the BR disc? Change the compression of the video and re-tool the game to play to X360's strengths and I think it could fit on 1-2 discs easily. But that's just my opinion.

Either way doesn't matter unless the game is announce for X360. My bro has PS3..I have a X360..so I have access to the best of both. All I need to do now is get a Wii and I'm all set.

where is the video....i don't see it

PSN Starfleets6891d ago

Video got removed. How can this have been approved you N4G monkeys

aiphanes6891d ago

They just post crap to try and piss people off..

Get it through your thick Xbox skulls....MGS4 will not come to the Xbox 360....It is only comming to the PS3...You only have 8.5 gigs of space on the DVD that the Xbox 360 uses....MGS4 will be at least 25 gigs on the bluray....The developer is going all out...he might even use the 50 Gig bluray discs...which nobody has use yet for a game on the PS3...Killzone 2 definately will use 50 GB disc since they are at 2 gig a level right now...

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.

cloganart96d ago

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

Commentby96d 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.

jjb198196d 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."

gigoran895d 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!!!!"

computeSci95d ago (Edited 95d 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-ro809d ago

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

darthv72809d 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_809d ago

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

Cacabunga809d ago

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

Profchaos809d ago (Edited 809d 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

seanpitt23809d 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!

Iceball2000809d ago

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

Father__Merrin809d ago

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

InUrFoxHole809d ago

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

Marcus Fenix809d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989809d ago

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

1Victor809d ago (Edited 809d 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 😱

Michiel1989809d ago

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