MGS 4 to push the PS3's CPU. Possible bad news for 360 owners wanting a port?

Kojima recently confessed that he wants to push the Cell to its limits in order to create the gameplay experience that he has envisioned for MGS 4. Could this possibly mean that if a port was ever announced that the 360 version would be downgraded since its CPU is known to be weaker (according to tons of developers) than the Cell?

Quote:

Kojima also cryptically hinted that the increased processing grunt of the PS3 would be used not only for better graphics, but for the introduction of "psychological" elements.

"I would also like to challenge the PS3's CPU power for not only what you can see, but also psychological effects, or psychological battles, where it can affect your gameplay," he said.

good news

hope it will looks really awesome

and I don't think 360 is a suitable console for it, too :)

As much as I want MGS to reach larger audience. Kojima's MGS is known for pushing a systems capabilities. Metal Gear Solid for PSone did it, and Metal Gear Solid Subsistence for PS2 did it. I have a feeling Kojima is going to use a lot of the extra space that Blu-ray has to offer. This is the last MGS game. Kojima wants to make his baby epic, and like nothing seen before. I think he'll do some crazy stuff with the PS3. dr-venkman

I'm sure a workaround could be made to compensate should it go to the 360 (share the love!).Mizuke

there it is in one simple sentence. This is the beautiful and also ugly aspect of console exclusives. On one hand present and future ps3 owners (like me) will have a far more enjoyable experience due to kojima's optimization; Whilst 360 users won't experience it at all.

360 fanboys can't complain, you guys have got mass effect, fable 2, and alan wake.

Share the love my ass! 

I could care less if the games go multiplat, i have both games and will buy the one with more features.

glad to know they are working hard

 X360 CPU normal working regime  = Cell limit

It's already been tested and,

PS3's Cell is WEAKER then 360's Xenon

Isn't the PS3's CPU weaker than the 360's? So technically wouldn't the 360 get the better version if hell froze over and this game came to 360?rocktimusprime

Uhhh, it has been proven time and time again that the Xbox 360 Xenon is flat out stronger than the PS3 Cell, I don't know wtf you are talking aboutXiTWoundZ85

No one here actually thinks that MGS4 is going to the 360... do they?Dire_Weasel

noone thought MGS:SoL would be on the xbox either, and yet, there it was....

imo, we don't need it;  Splinter Cell is what MGS should have been....

Anything 360 can handle so can PS3 and vice versa. All this stuff you here is just dev hoopla to promote their game as being a unique experience you can only find on that system.Blackbond

Nobody listens to me :cry:  lol

i just haven't seen any intelligent arguments how 1 is greater than 3...

just data supplied BY SONY showing theoritical maxims that will never be achieved due to the poor efficiency of the cpu...

bah, i'm sure you already knew that....

believe it if you want, but sony has a way of overinflating their hardware's performance, only to later blame the failure to deliver on "hidden power" or "inexperienced developers"...

Its all ready proven PS3 cell is more powerfull thans 360s but people on this board make it seem like its so much more powerfull its only tiny difference, Just like its proven 360s GPU is more powerfull thans PS3s.

360+PS3=same they both can run the games if they wanted to some do better stuff in areas.

it depends when they come out with the game and who whey work with. If it comes out in 2009 then it will not be able to be ported to Xbox 360 with out huge decrease or build of a new engine. If it comes out end of this year or beggining of next then he will not have pushed the PS3 much. Ravenlore_basic

While I believe that the 360's CPUs are more efficient when used correctly...

If MGS4 stays exclusive to the PS3 that leaves what? 2 anticipated games exclusive to the PS3 left? (Heavenly Sword as well for me, but not for most)

I personally believe that the 360 has a GPU that's a tiny bit more powerful than the PS3's GPU. I also believe that the Cell can be a bit more powerful than the 360's CPU if handled correctly. Throw in the fact that developers can use Blu-Ray and the PS3's hard drive and you got a console with the most advantages.DaddyDC650
