If MGS5 is on current hardware then it won't be a system seller. If you're someone who wants to play an MGS game, you probably already own a PS3.

It's a PS4 Game, if it get announced at the VGA.

There are going to be next gen game announcements this year at VGA

 

[DieH@rd]

MGS5 at VGAs 2012 will probably happen

Or Gamecscom. Or TGS.

 

[Ein Bear]

Their were others as well you know

Well yeah, but nobody's allowed to talk about it, sooooo where was the point in doing it?

 

[Anteater]

"Blabla what Kojima shown me was the greatest thing ever"

It was probably his spidey underpants

 

[Pranay]

Or Gamecscom. Or TGS.

or simply get announced at 25 year anniversary.

and is shown at the VGA

 

[Pranay]

Geoff Keighley ‏@geoffkeighley
Here at Comic-Con, but having some great top secret meetings about this year's VGAs and potential world premieres.

.

 

[Emily Chu]

Yeah, that's what I can think of, especially from the screenshots of FOX Engine. It'll be MGS3 environment but more open world.

I remember a long ass time ago like 2002 kojima told us that mgs 3 would be 30 square miles of open land

I think the tech is finally there to make the game he wanted to

And now to wait 3 years for mgs5 on ps4

 

[SolidSnakex]

I doubt Kojima really wants to get into another situation where he shows off a game running on an engine that's based on system specs that aren't set in stone. I still think that this will be current gen.

 

[BadWolf]

And now to wait 3 years for mgs5 on ps4

Should be before PS4/720 launch imo.

Sad, but the wait is going to be HARD! Seems like MGS games are used as benchmarks or PS3 "Mario" games.

MGS2=PS2, MGS4=PS3. Not even counting how MGS1 kinda defined the PS1 era...of course, this is my opinion but I'm guessing some people might agree. =)

Which makes it more weird that I have yet to play MGS4 for more than 10 minutes...

 

[Jarmel]

MG remake would be hype in its purest form.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Why would this be fake? Surely a PS4 launch title.

If Kojima wants to go full on Transfarring it should be PS3/PC/PS4 with cross-platform MGO3.

BOOM.


Also I don't think we should consider this a sequel to PW or a MG remake, more like a MG prequel <3

 

[Ran rp]

I feel old and cranky for saying this, but I want a corridor based MG game again - something with structure and limitations to work around. Not open world stuff.

Same. I'm just not enjoying MGS3 as much as I did MGS, MGS2, and what I've played of MG and MG2.

 

[thetrin]

MG remake would be hype in its purest form.

Eeeeh, I'd rather a new game. I don't like remakes in general.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Why would Konami contact someone for making fake pics? Fake pics are posted all the time when a game is getting ready to be announced.

 

[Despera]

MG remake would be hype in its purest form.

Not the purest.
That would be ZoE3.

 

[King of the Potato People]

This should be great. None of the MGS games are bad.

 

[Tashi]

Eeeeh, I'd rather a new game. I don't like remakes in general.

A remake would be cool but damn I want an all new game. That would be insane. I fuckin love the series.

 

[Wishmaster92]

nfants? les enfants terribles? The terrible infants?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

nfants? les enfants terribles? The terrible infants?

Yes.

 

[excaliburps]

Hawkeye's right. Why on earth would Konami contact someone who did a fake title?

I just hate the fact that this could be fake...

 

[StuBurns]

Fox Engine will be used for many other games as well.

Sony will try to keep mgs on ps, since its a system seller

No, they won't. If you're losing a million units by going exclusive, a first party needs to compensate the publisher for $35M, for that, Sony could make a top tier exclusive of their own, which can also sell systems, strengthen their first party, and make them more money.

Moneyhatting is way passed being practical.

 

[Ein Bear]

Even if it is a fake... it's only a logo. We know Metal Gear Solid 5 is in development, so I wouldn't be too disheartened.

 

[rollingstart]

If this isn't bunk and that caption indicates this'll be an open world game, I think it could be great. In early MGS3 trailers you got the sense that it'd be an open world, and maybe the ambition was stayed by technological limitations back then. Then again, MGS4 initially seemed to be an open battlefield. At the end of the day both MGS3 and MGS4 were just larger rooms, as in MGS2, with different themes. If MGS5 truly has an open world setting, I can see that being very interesting.

Eeeeh, I'd rather a new game. I don't like remakes in general.

What about something like Metroid Zero Mission?

I wouldn't mind that at all. A retelling of Metal Gear 1 and 2 events. Something like the recent Mortal Kombat game.

 

[BadWolf]

It would be pretty cool if the main numbered series stayed a PS exclusive but yeah, very little chance of that happening. The series being ported left and right these days is a pretty decent further indication of this as well.

 

[PerZona]

That's true, I guess MGS5 would be multiplatform. Not that I mind though, will still be getting it for the PS3.

 

[alr1ght]

Really hope if it's MGS that it's not open world.

 

[TerryWogan]

Why would it be cool? Surely it's a good thing if games are available to as many people as possible?

 

[BadAss2961]

It's only possible if Kojima insists, which does have a chance. But lately he's been talking more and more about western development, getting with the times, expanding and whatnot. So who knows...

 

[StuBurns]

The irony of the Metal Gear franchise, is it originated on a Microsoft system, the MSX. It's the last series that should be slapped down with 'betrayalton' crap.

 

[Kenshin001]

No, they won't. If you're losing a million units by going exclusive, a first party needs to compensate the publisher for $35M, for that, Sony could make a top tier exclusive of their own, which can also sell systems, strengthen their first party, and make them more money.

Moneyhatting is way passed being practical.

Would MGS5 sell that much on a non-Sony platform? I mean you either played MGS4 on a PS3 or you didn't and if you didn't what would be the incentive to pick up the sequel?

 

[Despera]

Hell, even in the previous generation some form of MGS was available on all home consoles.

 

[StuBurns]

Would MGS5 sell that much on a non-Sony platform? I mean you either played MGS4 on a PS3 or you didn't and if you didn't what would be the incentive to pick up the sequel?

Possibly not, MGS4 sold over five million, if it's PS360 attach rate had been similar to FFXIII had it gone multiplatform, it would have struggled to break a million on 360. But who knows. I think to say going exclusive cost them a million in sales is about right personally, but yeah, it's hard to pin any decent estimates down.

 

[Ein Bear]

Out of interest, does anyone know what the sales figure divide was for the HD Collection on PS3 and 360?

I feel like Metal Gear is still strongly associated with Playstation, but that might just be me.

 

[thetrin]

I wouldn't mind that at all. A retelling of Metal Gear 1 and 2 events. Something like the recent Mortal Kombat game.

Zero Mission is okay. I'm not a huge fan of it.

I think remakes are the last bastion in the war against creativity. I'll never understand why people ASK for remakes. It's like they want developers to stop being creative. I guess that shouldn't be surprising. Fans constantly ask for sequels that are exactly the same as the last game.

 

[BadAss2961]

No need to say though that the series broke out with, and found its home on Playstation. And even ignoring that, people could always say "betrayalton" in the sense that MSX was pretty much still a Japanese console. Just sayin.

None of that is my concern though. I'd just like to see it a PS3 exclusive because of the likely higher quality that would come with it.

 

[Ein Bear]

I want it to be announced as a PS4 exclusive, then get a Xbox port shown off at the E3 before it comes out. Mostly so we can get something as gold as that FF13 rant again.

 

[Jackpot]

My spidey-sense says the screens are totally fake but I hope I am wrong.

 

[StuBurns]

None of that is my concern though. I'd just like to see it a PS3 exclusive because of the likely higher quality that would come with it.

Not from KojiPro though, they aren't exactly Naughty Dog. They talked tall about MGS4 as being this technical beast, squeezing every ounce out of the PS3, and it isn't even close to the same league as something like Uncharted 2.

 

[Ran rp]

Wasn't MGS2:S released on the Xbox?

 

[Ein Bear]

To be fair, MGS4 came out a year and half before UC2, and I'd say it was the most impressive game on the system at the time. MGS2 and 3 were both very impressive too.

 

[Blablurn]

Wasn't MGS2:S released on the Xbox?

yep, and it was a bad port.

 

[StuBurns]

Wasn't MGS2:S ported to the Xbox?

Yes, it was.

MGS3:S was considered also, but the system wasn't deemed viable by the time the project needed finalizing.

To be fair, MGS4 came out a year and half before UC2, and I'd say it was the most impressive game on the system at the time.

I wouldn't. Or even close to it.

 

[Sephiroth503]

Wasn't MGS2:S released on the Xbox?

Yeah but the PS2 version was the complete one. Skateboarding FTW!!!

 

[jett]

Uncharted 1 shits all over MGS4.

 

[zewone]

"ZER" is missing letter "O" to bezome "ZERO"
"ALZURG" is mising "G" to become "GALZURG". (it is Galzurg, not Galzburg, you had a typo there)
"ENAMO" is missing "R" to become "RENAMO.
"NFANTS" is missing "E" to become "ENFANTS".

O.G.R.E.

Zero (born David Oh, and formerly known as Major Tom and Major Zero) was the original commander of CIA Special Forces Unit FOX (Force Operation X). Zero became a founding member of the Patriots along with Big Boss, though the two friends would later develop a bitter enmity.

Blood diamond is given.

Amazing.

 

[StuBurns]

Uncharted 1 shits all over MGS4.

Indeed, and it was launched with the developers telling us that they can do a lot better given more time, not like KojiPro claiming they'd fully tapped the keg.

 

[Paracelsus]

Uncharted 1 shits all over MGS4.

How dare you

Spoiler

saying it out loud

I want it to be announced as a PS4 exclusive, then get a Xbox port shown off at the E3 before it comes out. Mostly so we can get something as gold as that FF13 rant again.

SolidSnakex will confirm it to you but basically Konami said it would rather set itself to fire than give another exclusive MGS to Sony, the struggle to keep MGS4 on PS3 only was already quite intense.

 

[Hindle]

VGA's having next gen games being shown makes sense.

 

[BadAss2961]

Not from KojiPro though, they aren't exactly Naughty Dog. They talked tall about MGS4 as being this technical beast, squeezing every ounce out of the PS3, and it isn't even close to the same league as something like Uncharted 2.

It's not like having to develop a 360 version at the same time would've made things any better though.

MGS4 isn't a technical marvel like Uncharted 2, but it's still a game of very high quality and exceptional attention to detail.
