I still think it's a game about solidus and raiden. or maybe this game fills in the gap of what happened between MGS2 and 4.
My (poor) attempt of cover:
Soul Calibur Broken Destiny
looks good doesn't it
End of Eterninty
(blurry) new system?
Queen's Blade
(something about romance?)
SD Gundam
G Generation Wars?
Tales of Vesperia
Tales of (Basasu?)
-Kojima Interview
-Something about the world of MGS
-Kojima production B.S.

Basasu sounds like Versus.

u really thought it was gonna be a 360 exclusive? :lol :lol :lol
So the new timer ends:
3pm Pacific time on 1st June (7am Tokyo time on 2nd June)
Going by what's being said here, the MS conference is at 10.30am on 1st June PST, whereas the Konami conference is at 3pm on 3rd June PST.
I think the timer will change again and be added to, to coincide with the Konami conference...so it will probably add another 48 hours to it closer to the time.

Seeing how we're getting every E3 trailer before E3 actually starts, I wouldn't be sure of anything anymore regarding when they're going to reveal it.
I too hope it's exclusive. Why? Because I own both consoles and Multiplat games don't help me at all. If they have more time and can invest all their money in only one version I think that's the best for me as a multiplat owner. However I don't have any problem with later ports.

I for one pray it's PS3 exclusive, that'll cut down greatly on the fanboy bickering about the game leading up to it. Just shut the Xbots out and shut them up. Also keep the Sony haters from having too much ammo. I know there's good Xbox fans but I don't give a shit about anybody but myself.
Of course Sonyfriends would preen and gloat, but it'll be less annoying and easier to deal with the MGS hype topics
Also better for all their efforts to be focused on the one platform, max it out

Because there's a huge gap in quality between exclusives and multi?
First of all, in the grand scheme of things, what does it matter? Ports and multiplatform business aren't done because the console fanbase of one system "is fine with it" like your dating their sister or something. It's a business decision that is out of everyone's hands.
It's not wrong to want a game to go multiplatform. Especially if you only own a 360. It's not wrong to want to see the game stay exclusive, especially if you own a PS3. Why would someone who only owns a PS3 want it to stay exclusive? Because there is no reciprocation involved with these sorts of things. It's not a charity that goes both ways. 3rd party exclusives do exist on both platforms (contrary to popular belief) and some of them don't seem to be going anywhere. I suppose we are to assume you all will go on and picket some random 3rd party 360 exclusive to come to the PS3 but we know that's really not going to happen. Because at the end of the day the Xbox fans want to retain their exclusives as well.
Other than that, if your concern is about reaching as many people as possible (and I don't know why this is a fan concern by the way, since fans aren't likely to be prohibited by a console exclusive) then there's no real reason to stop at an Xbox port. Cross-platform development is pure profit driven. There may as well be a Wii version. Maybe even some handheld spin-offs.
Fact of the matter is, if developers could focus on just developing one game and have it release on all systems, they would do it. They would have a much higher quality and polished game for everyone -- and it would take much less effort on their part. And they want to reach as many people as possible in terms of sales and letting people play their games.
Some developers really don't have the staff or the tech to pull off simultaneous multiplatform development. And some really just want to focus on fulfilling a vision. I'm unsure where Kojima's team falls in there and whether or not they can handle the stress of multiplatform development. And I would fear for a drop in quality or cost cutting measures of some kind. That said, if they can do it, then great. But as a fan, I want that quality as high as possible, and a risk sacrificing that so that "other fans" can play it just doesn't make sense to me -- because I think the "other fans" by and large will be playing it, as I said, regardless of platform.

Well, the problem is that if it's exclusive, we'll have three to four years of 360 fanboys ceaselessly bringing tweeters and other groundless sources about how MGS5 is totally going to the 360 and Sony to lose their last exclusive and whatnot. But if it is multiplatform, it will be system wars again as well. In the end, enjoying the game is what matters the least.
I just wish there was a way for people to stop ruining MGS threads, but it's going to happen either way.

I agree mostly with what you are saying, but the major point I have to make is that MGS4 was a "BIG" game with regards to the space it used on the 50Gb BR disc (I think it was around 35Gb eventually). Now it's pretty obvious that Kojima likes to produce games of the utmost quality, while includes graphics and audio and hence the huge amount of disc space used for MGS4. Porting MGS4 to the 360, unless the quality of the cutscenes and audio was drastically reduced. Seeing as 360 discs hold under 7Gb of data, it would require 5 discs for the same information, and isn't there some ridiculous charges for using multiple discs with MS? Anyway, I think it's in Kojimas interests to maintain a PS3 exclusive MGS series for now, unless he wants to go down the download PSN/XBLA route.

It takes at least two to ruin a thread. One to post a senseless troll post, and another to angrily reply and escalate the situation. If people just ignored the obvious trolls then they would be, literally, left powerless.Philanthropist said:
But alas, some people's egos are just too big and can't bear the thought of leaving a swipe at their favourite game go uncontested, lest someone read the troll post and believe it. Siiigh.

Because it winds people up and gives us another chance to recycle three years old speculation on the pros and cons of porting the MGS4 engine to the 360.

Gasp, what a megaton. Long-running PlayStation exclusive remains PlayStation exclusive. Alert the presses, this one's gonna make the front of the Times.

LP2 is coming out on PS3. I will take a one month ban if it isn't mentioned before the end of this year.neojubei said:
