Do you really want these games to go multiplat?

I keep hearing how people want these 2 games to go multiplat (ie. to 360 as well as PS3):

FFXIII and MGSIV: Do you really want them to go multiplat? Think about it.

Look what happened to GTAIV. I'm not blaming the delay on any console but it doesn't change the fact that it's a 6 month delay, and no, it probably wouldn't have happened if it were on one console.

Don't you think it's better if devs focus resources on one version and make it the best it can be? And a port of MGSIV not done by Kojima? Really?

Just something to think about it. I guess I just don't really understand why you would buy a console, and then anxiously anticipate games coming to another system.

What do you guys think?

For FFXIII?

Hell no, not b/c of any fanboy drivel either. I want SE to move on to more unrealized, or under utiilized, IP. Where are Chrono? Xenogears (they still own it, team missing or not), Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (I don't count Japan-only cell phone iterations), Grandia, Front Mission, or hell just about anything not FF or DQ.

Yes , the 360 is missing that special something without those games. We are not happy without them.

I couldn't care less about FF XIII. The series went downhill from IX onwards and White Knight Story looks a lot more appealing to the Level 5 fan in me. MGS4 should definitely stay PS3 exclusive though. It's part of the PlayStation identity, just as Mario is to Nintendo and Halo is to Microsoft.

never cared about final fantasy and used to care about mgs...untill i played it on xbox and enjoyed it and the storyline untill i started fighting vampires in tights and girls who can bend bullets...

rediculous

splinter cell conviction for me

SE does seem to be focusing far too much on FF and DQ.

But that's not the reason I don't want it going multiplat. It's already going to take ages to be released, and if they make a 360 version, it'll take even longer, and I just think it's better for devs to focus their resources on the one version.

Btw, Chrono Break would be amazing. :D

A port of MGS 4 not done by Kojima? Of course he owuldn't do the port. Its not like he sits there and codes the game thats not his job he sets up what the overall game would be like. Wether or not Kojima wanted it to be a port or had anything to do with it, by the time it gets to that point Kojima's work is done.

Also The Twin Snakes was better than the past couple MGS games. Kojima is the biggest problem with MGS, ironic since without him it owuldnt exist but the guy needs to get over himself and make a game rather than the over the top cutscene that was MGS2 and 3.

cows dont. lemmings want.

i enjoyed the movie and the show...they were CARTOONS!

you will be excited to know that the flying vampire in tights returns in mgs4 as well as metal gear chicken looking things that hop around and screech...i know your looking toward the male bonding in the vamp and raiden fight! :P

dont get in the "vision cones" of the guards tho, as the exlamation point above their heads will alert his comrades.

"but but they were movies/cartoons" Anyone see a double standard here or is it just me ?

Nike_Air

I see it.

I don't think I care if people hate on MGS though. It ain't gonna stop me from buying/enjoying it, and it isn't gonna stop the millions of other people who are dying to play it from buying/enjoying the game.

But the thing that I don't like is that everyone hates on it, but still want it to go multiplat. I want the game to be the best it can be, full resources on one version, so I want it exclusive.

i missed where i said "but but..."

anyways you can expect certain crazy and comedic things to happen in an animated film about mutant turtles...get real...

however after infiltrating a marine corps vessel, and combating soldiers loyal to the Soviet Union...the last thing i expected was to fight a flying vampire (in tights) a girl who can control bullets, and...my favorite...a fat guy on rollerblades...

you cant compare the two as one TRIES to take itself seriously while the other is targeted at moslty children (grew up watching them)

Lemmings tend to be the biggest jerks of all 4 fanboys. One of their arguments was that MGS2 remake went to the xbox so 4 is likely to do the same. Completely ignoring 3. They just want Sony to lose it so they can say the PlayStation has no good games.

If it ended up being the way it would be if it was exclusive then why not? It would allow others to enjoy the games if they dont have enough money to buy all the consoles.

That is the best you can come up with ? I don't see any difference between enjoying giant turtles who can talk and know karate in a show vs weird characters in videogames with supernatural abilities.

MGS has always been about the bizarre and you will find humorous things throughout the game done intentionally. It is a video game , not simulation. A lot of people find it as compelling as a giant rat who can not only talk , but talks to giant turtles too.Lighten up a little.

I think the problem with GTA4 is that rockstar signed agreements with Sony and Microsoft that they would be getting near similar products. It's not really an issue of porting the game, it's an issue of Rockstar promising the two hardware makers they would make the same game for two completely different platforms.shadowrun69

But would the delay have happened if it were being developed on one console? Probably not.

Would the game be better if the devs focused all resources on one version? Probably.
