So what Else will MS steal from SONY This year?

Ever since 2005 ,MS always announces something big that shocks the gaming community and i love it.

For example Devil may cry going multiplatform,VF,Tekken,Kamatari,Tales,Square Enix:twisted:,Resident evil,Ace combat EXLUSIVELY for the 360 and so on...

I think MS will make FFVSXIII multiplat,Hideo kojima(You know the hack will Jump in any day now,He has too),Kingdom Hearts III...What's your predicitons?

The next Metal Gear game will be multiplatform. Kojima has just hinted at it too many times. Especially after him saying he was going to start trying to apeal to the western audience or something like that.

Steal?? as far as I know, it's not stealing if you're spending big bucks to get the stuff

The reason a lot of this happened is to try and broaden their games potential audience. It's no surprise that the majority of games this year are multiplats. Therefore MS isn't stealing them, so much as the developers deciding it would be better to go multiplat.

As for hideo kojima, I doubt he will bring MGS4 over to 360, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had to go multiplat at some point, however his company is probably one of the few companies that can actually make money on exclusice PS3 games.

Yeah about that..i don't want that game on my 360,It's already infected with the PS3 virus,I can't deal with sloppy seconds on my system.

You do know what the word steal means right? In other words they didint steal they just got the game too. Tales was on gamecube laste gen therefore it has beenonother systemsbefore so its not a big deal hell even wii has a tales game. Resident evil was on cube and even on dreamcast so its known for being on many systems. Ill give you ace combat.

Yup, I said I wouldn't be surprised if he went multiplat.

MGS4 is a great game, and if it came out 360 exclusive then it would be a different story. I can't understand why we don't just enjoy games regardless of platform.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

Stealing or no stealing..What do you guys make a big deal about that word...maybe i should have rewritten the Title a little better:P

I wish M$ would focus on new IPs rather then taking exclusives from the PS3.

I seriously doubt it, unless Kojima wants to make a Metal Gear game that is inferior to MGS4.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm just talking in the general gaming population, as the poster above stated how he doesn't want MGS4 on 360, because it was on PS3. A statemtn like that is just ignorant.

Luckily I work for a living, and can afford to have more than one console :P

Not even sloppy seconds... Metal Gear was around before the PlayStation even existed... but franchisees switching systems is common place... FF started on Nintendo consoles, Resident Evil has been whored around everywhere (even the Dreamcast) so shy should MGS coming to the 360 be treated any differently.

I meant a full metal gear game on a console. the iphone is NOT a platform. The PS3 controllers > 360 controller. Bioware needs to put Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, imagine the greatness Bioware could do with real hardware.

For the most part I would agree, but I think this time Kojima plays into it, as he has built up quite the relationship with Sony. If MGS4 had made no money on PS3 then he may have ported it over. With his newer games he is apparently going multiplat, which is a good thing.

Exactly it doesn't make much sense. Multiplats bring good games to multiple consoles. Exclusives are good for the home console, but it limits the potential audience, and people miss out on some great games.

I don't think there's anything left for Microsoft to steal anyway.

He may have created a good relationship... but he's not got the final say on the games... that lies with Konami, and they haven't exactly remained overly loyal over the years.

Personally I couldn't give a monkey's chuff if MGS4 gets ported to the 360, it just gives me another console not to buy it on... but I think that a lot of Japanese developers had thought that the PS3 would have overtaken the 360 by now sales wise, that the 360 was almost a fad that caught on because it was out first, and the PS3 still hasn't sold as well as they thought it would do... so they almost have no option but to start supporting the 360 a little more.

Yup pretty much. Multiplats is the way most companies are going to go, unless they are 1st party, or even 2nd party. As they need to recoup sales, and the best way to do it is to sell to more people. Basic business practice.

even more of its cutomers

They are now... but before the PS3 option was a bit of a gamble... hence Capcom originally knocking out Lost Planet and Dead Rising as 360 exclusives, and then porting them over at a later date.

What does make me wonder about multiplatform games is the PS3 version quality... last gen when most games were ported from the PS2 to the Xbox the box got a slightly spruced up version to make at least some use of the extra power available, GTA got better polish on the graphics, more detail on the engines and a few other tweaks... if the PS3 is supposedly more powerful this time around surely we should be seeing something similar happen for the PS3 versions to take advantage of this "extra power" yet 19 times out of 20 the PS3 version is inferior, and the other 1 time it's on par with the 360 version... something doesn't add up there.

Both consoles are relatively similar in power this time around, the problems with sub-par ports this time around is the PS3's awful architecture. 360 uses a similar kind to PC so ports between the 2 are fairly easy, but 360 and PS3 are completely different, which makes for a difficulty in coding. It's generally why PS3 has better looking exclusives than their multiplats, as they are built ground up for PS3.

Plus a lot of PS3 exclusives are handled by Sony themselves and it's probably safe to say they've a bit more knowledge of the setup than they pass onto other companies... the similar power is well known, as is the more inept way that the PS3 handles its usable memory... funny how many cows forget about that.

All companies use other companies ideas. I hate how people make sony the satan of the gamingindustry and everyone els is inocent. When all the companies arent angels.

Well sofar this year, the 360 has lost Ninja Gaiden to the PS3, good start for Microsoft.

As a PS3 and 360 owner i'm REALLY getting tired of Microsoft's big guns being nothing more then Playstation games going multiplat. I guess its good for 360 only owners and fanboys but i'm tired of it.KilIzone3

I guess with the departure of Peter Moore, the days of paying game developers / publisher to secure exclusivity content are over.

Mystery_Writer

I don't think so, M$ has closed so many 1st party studios, that they have the capital to secure Exclusive DLC, or timed Exclusives. I think Lost Planet 2 is one of those recent deals.

looolll, did u hear that ninja gaiden 2 is heading for PS3?

Actually its been sony who's, been taking exclusives away from 360. PS3 will now be getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Dead Rising, we've already gotten bioshock (goty), lost planet, etc..... I won't be surprised if we see geow3 on ps3 also. 360 has very few exclusives left, only major ones that I can think of right now are gears 1 and 2, mass effect, and fable. Theres really not much to play on the 360 exclusive wise.

Sonic_on_crack

This is a decision made on the developers part, in order to bring the game to a wider audience, therefore increasing there own profit margins (potentially). Exclusivity is something that is, unfortunately on its way out the door. Few companies can afford to cover the production costs and not sell it on both consoles.
