I don't know either. But it is very odd to see someone trumping one platform over the other while releasing the game for both.
Same. This is telling.
That's fine and all but when the stronger system is 100 bucks less. Its a problem.

When/where did he say that?
.. What.. Do you think they will sell more units if they formally publically acknowledge it?
Those dudes at Microsoft are smart, I'm sure they know what's going on.. They already seem to be doing a better job at getting third party exclusives. Maybe that's their way of acknowledging it?
More on topic: PS4 seems to be the version to get for multi platform games this gen. ( seems right now anyways ). It's not that shocking, it was bound to be one or the other. Last gen, X360 was THE console to get all those mid gen Unreal Engine 3 games.
I know plenty of dudes who will happily play slightly inferior versions of all these games on XBONE, just cause they like their exclusives, controller, and/or online ecosystem more. Just like I knew a few dudes who played 100s of hours of PS3 Skyrim (yikes!).
I think they are nuts though.. PS4 for lyfe!
Kojima probably thought the xbox was going to run away with this gen like many other devs thought,but then E3 happened and at launch he saw the sales and never looked back.
Iirc he only received a money hat to show the MGSV trailer at the MS E3 conference instead of Sony's. That was it.

For comparison, if you rushed through AssCreed4 you could hit over 50% by completion in 6-8 hours... and spend another 50-60hours getting the other 50% via endless collectibles and "kill X Y amount of times in Z way".
If anything that low % number fills me with dread, not excitement. I can just see some sort of hidden unlock if you get 100% on GZ and it won't be pretty...
The real news here is that people in the press were actually able to tell the difference, finally.
Naw. I believe the only thing he has mentioned was a tweet about the PS4 version looking slightly better.
This post is news because it's starting to seem like it might look MUCH better... Even so, it's all subjective how much it will look better, if you only have XBONE you will probably still be in for a visual treat!
Surely Respawn must've been part of such dealings considering this an EA Partners title?
And MGS has already done it with Peace Walker.
They reused a bunch of levels for a ton of missions over and over.

I think you're confusing the terms. Most underdogs were actually the stronger systems of their time, not the weaker ones. See: Neo Geo.
Hahaha - he's joking.
LoL they were as shocked as everyone else was.

Agreed, but my point still stands. Microsoft's effort to try and obfuscate their way to parity is starting to become pathetic. They should just play to the strengths that they do have because they will never be able to catch up.

I don't see how personal preference over which console I'd rather play MGS on even begins to approach the fanboy driven response to FFXIII going multiplat. First off I have a 360 so this isn't about the warz. Secondly, MGSV going to Xbox 360 and Xbox One has literally barely generated any headlines. The exclusive Raiden mission caused more of a stirrup than MGSV being on the platform. Finally, there is not anything intrinsically wrong with identifying a console, a branded piece of plastic and metal, with a particular game or game series. There is this little concept called "sentimental value".

OG Xbox was the best underdog console. Vastly superior looking games, vastly superior online, interesting exclusives like KotOR, Ninja Gaiden, Jade Empire, Halo CE, etcetc. And that fuckawesome Duke controller.
How the mighty have fallen.

What power would they have? It's not their game.
Kojima can say whatever the fuck he wants.

Not necessarily, EA are the ones responsible for publishing and it's rumored to be right of first refusal deal, so Respawn don't have right to say anything about being exclusive.
Remember all those forced parity because of money hats. LOL
I suspect there is probably some unlockable game modes in there. They probably don't amount to anything of substance though.

This is just my interpretation but... I felt like Kojima wasn't that optimistic about the PS4 initially, he seemed to be more in the loop about the Xbox One and touting his excitement about creating an engine that could do multiplatform games than to say anything very positive about the console. Like I remember being surprised around the PS4 reveal how apathetic he was to it, and he wouldn't comment on whether there would be next-gen versions of Phantom Pain until Microsoft was ready to reveal their console and stuff like that even though everyone knew the PS4 existed.
It took until the Red Band trailer was released online a few days later before we even had confirmation of a PS4 version, and he had a presence at both the Xbox One reveal (pre-recorded) and the Microsoft E3 Conference. It took until the PS4 Launch when there was all the buzz for the console before he appeared at a Sony event to promote MGSV.

Strange Question:
Can somebody please explain the significance of the ellipsis (...) in the thread title? People put these in their thread titles from time to time and I know the ellipsis is supposed to signify "an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text" but in this case "MGS:GZ - Looks and Performs a lot better on PS4" would seem to stand on its own. What else is being omitted?

Uhh it has everything to do with what is in the box actually. You can only do so much with 16 ROPs, 12 CUs, 768 shader units and 68GBs of memory bandwidth. Heck I wish I did not have to upgrade my Radeon 6770 which is about on par with the X1 power wise, but my GPU was lower end when I bought it 4 years ago. Time to jump to a GTX 670 or Radeon 270x or something
Surprise.

From an architectural standpoint (ie RROD engineering problems aside), the Xbox 360 was incredibly well designed. The fact that it held up so well and still usually offered superior 3rd party games (despite the PS3 launching a year later in US/Japan and 18 months later in Europe) was very impressive.
It's such a massive U-turn to see this happening though, I can only assume the design team for both 360's hardware and OS disappeared before XBO work began. It really doesn't feel like the successor to the 360 at all.

LOL @ working man's graphics. Every time I hear that now I am instantly reminded of this:

That's a bit screwed up. Kind've a shame they didn't self-publish or go with someone who isn't EA.

Last time he said he wanted people to play on the PS4 and now this. It's starting to add up but looks like there will be a big disparity between the two.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Well, with the PS360 gen, you had the 360 released a full year before the PS3, the 360 was cheaper, and it was the console to buy multiplatform games on so ...
Awful game design ?

Same here. I think he was maybe dissuaded by the fact that around MGS4's release, the 360 was the gaming platform of choice. Also development for the PS3 was supposedly hard, so maybe he retained a bit of resentment from that. Add to the fact that Peace Walker, and every mainline game except 4 went to 360, and yeah, it seems like he wanted to "jump in". If you follow his twitter, though, he has posted various things about Playstation nostalgia. I dunno, we're probably reading into things too much. At any rate things seem back to normal lol

Yeah but FOX engine was created with cross platform development in mind.

You've never played a game where merely completing it doesn't necessarily get you 100% before? It's not that uncommon. This doesn't at all change the fact that Ground Zeroes is hilariously short, and if you're the type of person who does not care about extras you won't get your money's worth at all, but people who thought GZ was HOLISTICALLY nothing but 2 hours of game were being silly.
I made my decision months before launch and after countless debates over paper specs (nevermind the PR suicide), it goes to show alot of people were correct, the difference could increase further when full gpGPU and compute functions are taken advantage off.
The more I think about it, im quite happy to pay the equivalent of 20$ for this game. Looking forward to it, as others have said this is free marketing for Kojima, all the ps4 vs one.
