Why Metal Gear Solid 5 Will Be A PS3 Exclusive

GamingUnion.net: Metal Gear Solid has always been quite the exclusive title to the PlayStation brand since the first Metal Gear Solid. Even when the industry was rife with rumours of Metal Gear Solid 4 jumping ship to the Xbox 360, Kojima and gang never faltered one bit. In fact, they just put the next flagship title on the PSP instead. Now with Metal Gear Solid: Rising on both platforms, we're left to wonder what's next for the series. Although it should be clear, here's why I think Metal Gear Solid 5 will be on the PS3.

If they could hook this up with the NGP, like Kojima has been teasing, it would make for an awesome experience.

Hardedge5556d ago

I totally agree, it'll be pretty damn amazing.

Dragun6195556d ago (Edited 5556d ago )

I think if there is an MGS5, then I think NGP support is probably abound But a PS3 exclusive? Maybe, but I don't think we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.

I mean, I thought MGS: Rising is gonna be PS3 exclusive but that was announced multiplatform at MS E3 conference. That and it's possible that Kojima isn't even making MGS5. That tease for MGS5 was actually MGS Illustrations to Support Japan.

captain-obvious5556d ago

i need some more big boss in my system

heck i need a new MGS3
make us a MGS3 2
lol

DaTruth5556d ago

Just ask Kojima! If he acts like he's upset, dismissive and says something like; "I won't be involved with MGS5/6", it is multiplatform. If he gets a smile and starts making claims about the Universe not being enough blah blah blah, it's PS3 exclusive!

J/K

Iroquois_Pliskin5556d ago

I just cant wait for MGS5 and Rising

Vaud-Villian5556d ago

War has changed. MGS was exclusive until its first sequel.

HolyOrangeCows5556d ago

"If they could hook this up with the NGP, like Kojima has been teasing, it would make for an awesome experience"

I'd rather see two different games with some sort of interactivity. Like playing eachother in MGO 2.0....or something.

xXSilentXx5555d ago

@ Dragun619

MGS: Rising is a complete other story line and has nothing to do with snake or the patriots. MGS: Rising will only have the story line of raidens his life.

Skip_Bayless5555d ago

It's gonna come out on PS3 and Xbox 720 because the the xbox 360 can't handle it.

darthv725555d ago

oh well. glad I have both.

Besides, it is way past for the 360 to get MGS4. In fact, we have reached the point where it is just easier to have a ps3 now instead of holding out. Same goes for the 360.

showtimefolks5556d ago

he loves ps3 or sony paid him the man want a lot of disk space and have no limitations and he is very very familiar with ps3

i would be glad with 3 things:

mgs5 i don't care whether its exclusive or not
mgs:peace walker for NGP with updated controls for dual stick
where is MGS1-3 in HD i thought it was rumored to be in a magzine story?

this year's e3 has a lot of potential

news on agent which people think has been canned
new on eight days and getaway 3
syhpon filter
starhawk
games we will see in 2012 and beyond
jak in hd
all 4 ratchet games in HD from ps2
after god of war 3 SM are working on 2 games which ones?
ape escape for ps3?
etc,,,,,

sony has so much to offer

if you are a game and only buy ps3 exclusives plus few big AAA games you are pretty much busy for whole year

smashman985556d ago

lol eight days and get away is not coming out eight days was announced almost 5 years ago and then canned a yaer or 2 later its not happening
getaway maybe but improbable

and tbh i do think agent was canned syphon filter i dont think is happening yet becuz bend is working on uncharted ngp

Veneno5556d ago

Both 8 Days and Getaway have been said to still be in development.

dgonza405555d ago

that's the truth lol
i have no idea where im gonna get the time to play all these games. i was still behind last year lol i havent even played a lot of the games i was looking forward to before they realased. now 2011 is sure to rape my wallet and time

theonlylolking5555d ago

If he makes MGS5 he needs just as long and as many cutscenes and 8hrs of gameplay. It also needs better graphics IMO MGS4 does not look that amazing to me anymore.

pixelsword5555d ago

Eight days was announced almost five years ago...

...and Duke Nukem was announced how many years ago?

Solid Snake is exclusive to Playstation platform

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

1:43 lmao

Solid_Snake-5556d ago

my favourite video in gaming history.

AlienLion5555d ago

Well... that is not enirely true, is it? Not only has he appeared on both Xbox and Gamecube, he was actually born on a Microsoft platform (MSX). For being a fanboy you know very little.

cannon88005556d ago

Not only should it be an exclusive to Sony but also because it just doesn't make real sense to make it multi-platform. You know what I mean? I'm not trying to be a troll or a fan-boy, it's just that so many mgs games have been on the PlayStation that it's almost like father and son. Bringing all the future mgs games to the Xbox will ruin the relationship. Kids wont understand what I'm trying to say but I hope you adults that read this do. Every console has it's great exclusives, and this one should always stick to the PlayStation no matter what. Kojima knows better that it isn't about the extra money but rather bringing back the love to PlayStation.

AlienLion5550d ago

Didnt stop FF from going 360, or DMC, or Ace Combat or countless others. The same happened to xbox exclusives. You cant stop it and its only for the better.

Persistantthug5556d ago

It's about business now, not company fanboy'ism.

Money talks BS walks.

cannon88005555d ago

So you're saying that what i wrote was bullshit and that I'm a fanboy? I hope you read my paragraph and understood the part where i said hopefully the adults would understand. It's about the fans and not about the money. Never was. Never is. Never will be.

NewZealander5556d ago

i just dont understand why MGS4 never got trophy support, im mean how many times do we have to ask kojima.

ThanatosDMC5555d ago

It was released before it was mandatory. I never did get the stealth camo or big boss zombie head... if it gets the Subsistence treatment i'll buy it and try to get a plat.

Dagobert5555d ago

I want that trophy support. That will be the only game I can get a 100% on and actually bother getting every single trophy.

zeal0us5556d ago

Even though im a 360 owner I think the MGS would be left better on the ps3, don't get me wrong I would love to see MGS on the 360. It just wouldn't feel the same I use to play MGS on sony products(ps1/2 and psp) not M$ stuff.

360 don't really sell that good in japan (culture too blame sadly X associated with death, black associated with death, yes i know ps3 is black, but would it be easier to a product from your own people or foreigners. I hate put it in those terms but that what it seems) + kojima is known to have a dislike for 360, even there was pic of a 360 at office once before. MGS5 have just as much of chance of FFversus13 getting on the 360, which seem kinda low at the moment sadly.

hennessey865555d ago

maybe thats what microsoft will be thinking, get mgs on 360 sell more xboxs in japan

zeal0us5555d ago

Didn't they try that very same thing with ff13 and was kind of a failure seeing as more japanese ppl had already got it on the ps3 months b4.

Jazz41085555d ago

Ps3s advantage is bluray for cut scenes. That's mwhy it. Would be multiple discs. Crysis2 as proven shows 360 can hold its on graphically with a good dev and engine... it should remain on the ps3 though as it feels right on that platform as I have always. Played it there.

socomnick5556d ago

40 hours of cutscenes, 2 hours of nanomachine gibberish, 3 hours of gameplay and subpar stealth.

Yea Ill pass on mgs games.

I don't care what you say, MGS4 is the best game ever. If MGS5 is exclusive then all will be complete. The console war is finished. You simply have no ground to stand on anymore. (unless it finished with MGS4, which it did)

nycrekid5555d ago

Add all that up and you get one of the best games this gen. So what was your point again?

Kos-Mos5555d ago

Too deep for you? Better off with gears, gow, gta, halo perhaps?

Blaze9295556d ago

Who knows what platform MGS5 will be on. If Konami knew themselves, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have set up that survey asking what platform gamers would like to have the next Metal Gear Solid on.

Could be on iPhone for all we know...let's hop not. But depending if they get a strong amount of results on a particular console, don't be surprised if it isn't only the PS3 or even the PS3 at all.

CaliGamer5555d ago

"don't be surprised if it isn't only the PS3 or even the PS3 at all."

What does that even mean?

Blaze9295555d ago

If it isn't only ps3 - multiplatform
Ps3 at all - on a system NOT the Ps3

That wasn't so hard now was it?

C_SoL5555d ago

Solid Snake becomes a half robot half human. Mark my words.

ThanatosDMC5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

Actually, that's could happen since they extended Grey Fox's dying drugged up body by making him into a cyborg.

TVippy5555d ago

Not a single solid argument in favor of it being on the PS3. Another one of those fanboys' rants.

Biggest5555d ago

I don't see why there is even a conversation about it. Metal Gear Solid 5 will be a Playstation exclusive. Someone would have to come up with a reasoning as to why it won't be that way. Not the other way around.

jukins5555d ago

if theres anything sony would pay for third party it would be metal gear lets see. but a psp2 and ps3 crossover would be cool.

Kee5555d ago

They can't put MGS5 on the NGP. Main MGS games have to stay on a console. Otherwise I will go and shit on Sony's doorstep for causing me to fork out a ridiculous sum of money for a piece of hardware that I really don't need.

Amphion5555d ago

This won't be exclusive sadly but it should be. I guess we'll have to deal with a wattered down PS3 version once again because the 360 version needs to be kept under 7 gigs. Either that or it'll ship on 14 discs on Microsoft's geriatric box.

NanoSoldier5555d ago

they should keep it for PS3 only before it starts to look better on 360 ... *just joking*

jden285555d ago

I think that everyone is right to a point...

1. I think that Kojima will develop a dual NPD/PS3 game
2. I also think that a multiplatform MGS will be developed for both ps3 and x360, but Kojima will personally oversee the NPD/PS3 but Not the X360 version

3. The big 2 announcements will be that MGS goes multiplatform, and Sony will get Exclusive NPD cross over game and content.

I expect another Big Boss arc. Solid Snake is cool and all, but he's got nothing on Big Boss.

dc15556d ago

Big Boss gave up everything for Solid Snake.
Oh.. and you cant have a MG with out: Snake!? ....SnAKE?! .........SNNNNNNAAAAAKKKKKKKKE !!!!

Perkel5556d ago

The boss gave up everything for naked snake aka big boss who was a father fot david aka solid snake..

so you neesed this up...

nig boss never gave anything to solid. And solid killed him (not)

dc15556d ago

You’re Right!

I was being a little to general... But thanks for setting me straight! … then again if we are talking about the Les Enfants Terribles project… then how many degrees of separation are there….???...

ThanatosDMC5555d ago

^Solid Snake name is not David. You're confusing it with the intro's voice actor introductions. David Hayter is just the voice we all know.

GavLam885555d ago

Actually Thantos, Solid Snakes real name is David. If you have played to the end of MGS1, Snake reveals to Meryl that his name is David.

QuodEratDemonstrandm5555d ago

Big Mama aka EVA aka Solid Snake's surrogate mother called him David in Eastern Europe, the long cut scene in the church right before that crazy motorcycle chase.

Another Sony fanboy article.

This is the sad true in N4G....

would you be happier if it was a 360 fanboy article?

i have an idea, go somewere else.

ha! you're bitter.

i love how fanboys think that being a bigger fanboy will stop other fanboys from being fanboys.

MrBeatdown5556d ago (Edited 5556d ago )

Cry more.

Trying to prove a point that doesn't favor 360 doesn't make it a fanboy article. The entire article is based on fact and reasonable speculation. Deal with it.

AnxietyAttack5555d ago

Troll more.

pathetic fanboy.

MrBeatdown5555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

You're right. I shouldn't rile up the fanboys. I know you're all a sensitive bunch.

I did notice that you just attacked me, rather than defend Master_S's point though. Interesting.

BattleAxe5556d ago (Edited 5556d ago )

Go hang out in the Kotaku forums instead then, and take the rest of your 360 buddies with you.

Veneno5556d ago

I seriously Agree with you. All these 360 fanboys/trolls that complain about N4G need to just pack up and go to Kotaku, where everybody blindly follows Microsoft.

Problem solved. Get lost 360 fanboys.

YodaCracker5556d ago

What a tough choice. Go where everyone "blindly follows Microsoft" or stay at the laughing stock of the Internet, N4G, where everyone blindly supports the last place console to the point of complete and utter delusion. I choose to stay here for the laughs!

nycrekid5555d ago

Yodacracker

Why are you here then if N4g is the laughing stock of the industry? Then you like being a part of the laughing stock. News for you no one I know who games even know what N4g is so it's no where near as significant as you people make it seem. It is just a place for gaming news and goofing around with sensitive anti-sony tools. you guys really need to just leave the place if it pisses you off so much. Staying here is like being at a party you weren't invited to and aren't welcomed.

shuuwai5556d ago

indeed, but it's well better than..

10 ten xbox360 or PS3

or

Why x360 is better than p3

or

guigsy5556d ago

I could make a more compelling case for MGS5 not to be made at all.

Megaton5556d ago

I'd prefer that it wasn't, and I think Kojima would too. MGS4 was a great ending. Leave it alone.

Hardedge5556d ago

And yet MGS: PW was made, that was supposed to be MGS5 until they scrapped the number before the E3 announcement.

QuodEratDemonstrandm5555d ago

Good thinking. Making a case for no MGS5 is fairly easy.

1. Les Enfants Terribles deliberately shortened Snakes life span. He was at death's door when MGS4 ended. "Otacon, I'm gonna be dead soon." Snake is retired.

2. Ocelot is dead. Liquid Snake is dead. Solidus is incinerated. Big Boss got hit with FOXDIE. The Patriots are gone. The SOP System is destroyed. No one is left for Snake to fight.

Mgs5 would have to be either a prequel, maybe what Snake was doing on the Big Shell. Or Kojima will have to fill Snake's role with someone else, maybe Meryl or her new husband Johnny Diarrhea.

There may be another MGS, but it won't have Solid Snake. Not as a player Character anyway.

Now that I think about it, I would like to see Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 upgraded to PS3 graphics. Same with the first three Solids.

Mystogan5556d ago

lol Crying Sony Fanboys when it gets announced for 360 and PS3 like MGS: Rising.

I wonder whats taking them so long with the announcement of a 360 version of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, We all know its gonna happen at some point it might be a timed exclusive but its gonna happen regardless.

Aussiegamer5556d ago

Hey we gotta let the 360 boys play some games. We can't be stuck having all the fun while they troll the net looking at playing the sales game with someone.

Rising was announced as a multiplatform game from the get go. It's a spin off of the franchice. Not an exclusive. Never was going to be. Try harder. You're failing miserably right now.

uh MGSR is multiplatform because its a spin off. like many other MGS spin offs. (game cube ect) i wouldn't mind if it wasn't exclusive but i would be surprised.

I don’t think I’ve ever quite experienced an unfinished game that was slapped together with duct tape and construction paper to be sold as a finished product, basically making you replay the same missions and include a story that clearly was missing so much of the plot, like I did with this game.

I’m actually shocked that it doesn’t get calls out for this more.

It did. But the gameplay loop is still pretty good.

I would have honestly sacrificed Death Stranding 2 for the P.T horror game at this point so he could still to Physint

I thought that was what we were going to get, I'm very disappointed, I hope they don't charge out the ass for this game if it's episodic, maybe I'll wait for an OD collection unless the game is bad.

I really thought we were going to get a spiritual successor to P.T.
