Someone in the "GZ is 2 hours" thread posted that the GameInformer article only has PS4 and XBone as platforms for the main MGSV game.

Great news, exactly how I was hoping it would be.

Here is the post:

Can't make a new thread, can someone make one for me?

Apparently, The Phantom Pain is only coming to the PS4, XB1 ?!

Here is the information page about GZ and it says it's coming to PS3, X360, XB1 and P4

and more info in the article


However, in the TPP part it says coming only to PS4, Xbox One

More info, also only says it's coming to the new generation

Looking back, TPP was never shown running on PS3 or X360. Either on a PC or the new generation!


Edit: deleted the scan links, but you can see the magazine.

LOL!

Then why make Ground Zero for 360/ps3?

That being said, Huzzah for not being shackled to last generation consoles for the development of the new MGS.

What?

Makes no sense if ground zeroes is on all consoles, but MGS V is not.

Why not? For all we know it's two years until Phantom Pain is done. Focussing on next-gen seems super smart to me, especially with the ambition Kojima has for this game.

THANK YOU! Was hoping it would be this way. Cant be held back by 7th gen any longer.

So Ground Zeroes is basically Kojima's way of hammering down the "I really want you to buy the next gen version" angle because that is all we're going to be getting

Game sales on PS3 and 360 have dropped off a lot quicker than a lot of pubs anticipated. By time The Phantom Pain comes out, I expect it will have been a waste of money to develop for those platforms.

I'd rather they just focus on the next-gen systems and not have the game hamstrung by the older consoles, so this makes perfect sense and is good news to me.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Yay! Bad for people that aren't upgrading, good for everyone else. A consistent platform without a lowest common denominator to make the game around is good for the game. All of the locales will be made for current gen and that will make the whole game more cohesive.

I think they want to go ALL the way in for TPP and focusing on using the full potential of the new generation hardware.

I honestly want to know who would buy it for the PS3/360.

People who don't own a PS4 or Xbox One? Which would probably be millions upon millions of current 360 and PS3 owners.


EDIT: So much for that sentiment

They really shouldn't be selling ground zeroes on ps3 and 360 then without a massive warning on the box saying the rest won't be coming. Bit scummy.

How is this great news? So people who buy Ground Zeroes for PS3/X360 now have to upgrade to follow the rest of the story? Seems like a waste of resources to me, then, even putting GZ on the last-gen consoles.

Unless we are two or so years away from a PP release, in which case, even poverty-stricken old me will have gotten his mitts on a pre-owned PS4 by then, so it won't matter. Though, hopefully, I can get one sooner.

By the way, I love how we're treating an apparently scanned magazine page as gospel truth in here [nah, that was uncalled for]. Nice one, GAF.

Does that mean there's a PC port?

edit: Guess not. Ah well, I thought things would be different this time.

I'm not sure if there's even a warning on the box saying 'um, I know it says MGSV on the front but this isn't actually MGSV'

Fantastic news. Phantom Pain won't be held back by last gen hardware.

Good. I think it's healthier for the industry if all developers and publishers take the plunge into this new gen now and stop languishing in the previous one that went on way longer than it should have done. Embrace the eighth generation of console!
