Konami sees little PS3 price cut impact. Might have to port to recoup costs.

Quote:

Kitaue (Kazumi Kitaue, the head of Konami's North American and European operations) said Konami may need to expand the target hardware for its blockbuster fighting game Metal Gear Solid, which has so far been developed for Sony's PlayStation machines, to other consoles in the future to recoup development costs.

Nah That is saved for FF13.

This will be on his forehead

I'll have a PS3 by the time MGS4 is released, so it's not going to be an issue for me.

Kojima said no, I'm not listening to anyone else until he speaks again on the issue. white_sox

Well, if you read this article, Konami is saying maybe now. I believe that Konami overrules Kojima on these issues. It's their money.

this is really bad for ps3 users.

if it gets delayed so they can port it over they might have to cut down on certain things. Not because the 360 can't handle the technical aspects but just because he wanted to make the game ridiculously big. The action was supossed to take places in the middle east, south america, and Eastern europe. Now if resistance was 22 gig or so and kojima's already said blu ray is too small either the subsequent 360 version will be on multiple disks or something might have to go?

actually i think the former is what will eventually happen. Sonyy probably didn't pay their konami bills and this is the consequence of that .

So, you are not taking all the sources and rumours into consideration and only think of it as a possibility when Kojima says so? That's not smart. If you want to know what is going on, you also need to know what could be going on.

360 will never get the main FF games, keep dreaming. And if they do get MGS 4 it won't be until quite a while after PS3 gets it.

I was thinking the same thing.

" fighting game ".Metal Gear Solid? Konami threatening to port MGS is quite amusing,if they think we will pay millions and millions of dollars for MGS4 exclusivity then they might as well start on the 360 box art.Dualshockin

I'M SHOCKED! Did you ever care about the exclusivity of MGS4 or are your just speaking hypatheticly?

The game is geared towards to the Japanese audience and we all know how well 360 sells in Japan. I think the main games in the FF series may migrate back to Nintendo after XIII and XIII Vs. but they won't be going to 360.

The only thing keeping FFXIII from the 360 is Microsoft not going after it. If they really wanted it, they would most likely get it.

The question is if they think the amount of money they have to pay for it will make it worthy in sales of 360's and copies of that game. If we won't see FFXIII on 360 the answer to that question is no.

Multiple disks wouldnt bother me, they could split the game into chapters? chapter one is one disk ect, however either way the more people that get it thkojimae better to be honestKevanio

dude kojima seems to befilling up the blu ray disk as much as possible. Back when he compared the ps3 to a cinema or something lol i remember himsaying how he wanted to utilize the hardware as much as possible.Even with compression how many disks would that be on the 360? i'm not a sony fanboy here but i'm just curious as to how many disks that would end up being? woukd konami do a huge delay to remove a fat chunk out of the game so both versions are equal. If the game is being soearnestlybuilt ground up for the ps3 then wouldnt the 360 versision be super super lame? i dont think 360 users (me being one as soon as mass effect comes out) should get too excited for this just yet.

This version could really bomb. in addition to this if sony have another price around christmas then expect a ridiculous amount of growth for sony. £399 is £199 which was the price the ps2 was when sales exploded. I think these comments are pretty rash. Konami probably wanna see some dough right now and not in 08.

Fighting game HAHAHAHA!

This guy head of nowhere. Kojima = vice pres of Konami.

Looks like I might have to cut one off the wheel!! This is getting downright pitiful!

Honestly, I have a feeling Sony may pull out the cash to keep MGS 4 exclusive, at least for a year and a half.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Seriously though. I'm sure it could be "easily compressed." But I doubt you truly understand how damaging it would be for close to 50 gigs of data to be compressed down to 18-27 gigs. Not to mention the fact that the 7.1 sound can't be compressed. The amount of distortion it would suffer totally kills the point of having it there.
