Kojima 'refusing point blank' to put MGS4 on the 360

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=167633

It seems that Kitaue ( head of Konami's US and European operations) is trying to force Kojima to make MGS4 multi-platform but Kojima simply refuses.

I think that this means that MGS4 will be exclusive for quite some time, but will eventually get to the 360.

fuc* you Kitaue.dare_daniel

Thought this was happenning I always knew he didn't want to go to 360.

I always thought that there must be someone twisting his arm

[QUOTE="dare_daniel"]fuc* you Kitaue.longhorn7

SOny should make kojima studio 2nd or 1st party!!...but kojima will never do it he is a true game developer...developing games for every console and making them exclusive to get the best out of each system....Dang we need more like him.

I love how the 360 kids love to say that kojima doesn't have as much control as we say he does, but this pretty much confirms we were right.

Hideo loves us :D

HES THE MAN. thats all i gotta say. Goes to show you how much power he has. Heck if i made a popular series, i would too stop the man from messing wit my series

expected... exclusive for PS3 for at least a year or so.

but i'm sure those troll topics about loss of exclusivity will still come up... oh well... we'll just have to ignore them

THREE CHEERS FOR KOJIMA-SAN!!!!!!!!!!!NazzyQ

HIP-HIP

bumpage

I knew Kojima would say that, since it is a theatre quality machine. Killzone proved that.

One guy does not speak for another, thats why I waited to hear Kojima's side.

Sony will buy Kojima Productions (maybe thats what Kojima really wanted...)

Kojima MGS4 is your game dont let Konami do what they want! Suck it!

I salute you Kojima.

In my opinion. Kojima should kick Konami in the butt and make Kojima productions an independent studio!

*Sigh* Now I have to buy a PS3 for MGS4. There goes £400... Oh well, at least I'll have a PS3 for FFXIII.karriston

that was expected... don't tell me you actually were thinking of playing MGS4 and Final Fantasy on the 360

lol

Will this stop PS3 trolls from bashing him when he makes a Xbox 360 exclusive? Or a Wii exclusive
Probably not.Foppe_

trolls will be trolls.

The article clearly states the ever popular "insider" provided information. And then the actual quote from the insider says it will be a PS3 exclusive for months at least" meaning it could very well be a timed exclusive, which is what most people who think it will go to the 360 believe. Very few thought it would end up like GTA and be released at the same time. This article doesn't change that at all. It's also still leaves the possibility that Ron Workman put on his blog....it would be a 1 year timed exclusive.

Konami should be careful as Kojima productions isn't owned by Konami Hideo Kojima owns it himself he could if he wanted go else where for publishing ie Sony and leave Konami behind if there is one thing you dont do is P' off your best developer espesially when he's one of the worlds best. hellscovern

Who knows the time frame, but I think the seeds have been planted and we will see it go to the PC or 360 side.

yeah, after a long time...

i don't own a 360 and will be able to play Gears of War in my PC soon enough from what was said in M$ conference, so there...

not that i want Gears of War though... overrated game

I knew Kojima would say that, since it is a theatre quality machine. Killzone proved that.

darkmanure

Uh, listen darkpoo, as excited as I am for KZ (and I am.very.excited.) the trailers and limited gameplay footage hasn't really proved... well, anything. We already know the PS3 has incredible graphical potential, but the question remains how the game will look and feel when you and me are are sixaxing. But, hey, so far so freaking good.

By the way, is sixaxing a verb? It freaking should be.

the game looks absolutely amazing... the only thing preventing me to hype it even more is being unsure it will support keyboard+mouse.

I can't play and fps no matter how amazing it looks without k&m :X

I have both a 360 as well as a PS3...personally, I'd rather play it on my PS3.

Last time an MGS port was made to the X-box, it was okay but not good. They didn't even bother porting MGS3 to either X-box...why start now?

Thats maybe, but that's how Konami want it and most likely see it.. Kojima on the other hand doesn't and seeing as it's his Studio making the game and His studio that owns the MGS Rights chances are more in line with Kojima.. as i said in my post if konami keep forcing the issue Kojima may just walk to another publisher and leave Konami behind.

Kojima is straight up gangsta

It will probably go exclusive like after a year or so. The question is will KOJIMA himself direct the development team of 360 port or will he be doing another project instead. Like he has stated before he wants to be done with MGS 4 (the giant beast as it is) to be able to continue with other projects.

So most likely it will be a port by a smaller dev team and it will be crap just like the other ports have been.

It ain't a FPS. Haven't you played earlier installements of this game? The game doesn't handles like a FPS, handles more like an action adventure game, Splinter Cell and resident evil have familier controll scheme.
