Microsoft responds to MGS4 and FFXIII on 360 rumors

...by not answering the question.

What does this mean?

MGS4 and FFXIII will not end up on the 360.

/thread

He completely avoided the question.

Either way, I would assume Sony has contracted exclusivity deals for both games (which is not surprising).

It means they aren't going to the 360.

MGS4 couldn't even work on the XBOX 360.

Konami has already confirmed that they need Blu-Ray.

Metal Gear SOlid 4 could be by far the biggest game ever in terms of space.

Same with FFXIII.

This isn't new. Peter Moore flat out said, that while they would love to have it, it's not going to happen, most likely.

People ignored that, they will ignore this too.

are you a developer? from my experience, PS3 and 360 titles look about the same. and MGS4 looks great, but it certainly hasn't reinvented the wheel.

FFXIII-no

MGS4-someday in some form probably the same time the PS3 gets the "extra+" version

Do you know that MGS4 will be one of the most CGI heavy games ever? Not to mention the amount of detail put into them will be hollywood movie type quality. The opening cutscene alone has a bigger budge than most video games.

Blu-Ray is neeeded, this has already confirmed by Konami so don't post about things you don't know about.

ha ha

It means they aint gettin emasdasd

stop spreading misinformation. CGI is never used in MGS games. CGI is pre-rendered footage. MGS always uses REAL-TIME, IN-ENGINE CUTSCENES.

learn the difference between prerendered and real-time

PS: I already know CGI takes up more space than real-time scenes.

Actually they already said that there is going to be FMV to open MGSIV with live action sequences and 2D stuff. I don't know if this is just a montage that summarizes the series so far or the official open and ending to the game.

I lol@ people who fail to realize that just for the fact that the 360 does atrocious in Japan you won't see MGS4 and FFXIII on the 360.

That's just one of the reasons though. The 360 can't handle FFXIII or MGS4.

FMV is not CGI. unless I'm mistaken, FMV is recorded live-action footage, which they have also had in all previous MGS games except for Portable Ops.

PS: I just looked it up, and FMV is often used to refer to CGI. The important fact is that MGS never used pre-rendered or recorded scenes to represent the characters of the games, or events that unfolded in the storyline. FMV has been used in exposition and establishing atmosphere.

It means they aren't gonna get it.fistoflight

final fantasy probably not... mgs4 probably.

FFXIII is guaranteed to stay exclusive

I played all three MGS games for consoles and I don't ever remember seeing live actors being used...I got this from some article they posted about Kojima being in Hollywood to film something for the game and the production costing more than most DS games or something to that effect. It's hard to imagine them not using CGI in some fashion if that's the case. Pretty much everything filmed now involves CGI one way or another.

"FMV in games today consists almost completely of extremely high-quality pre-rendered video sequences (CGI)"

kthxbi.

Technicalities don't really matter though since my point still stands. MGS4/FFXIII can't go to the 360.

Timed exclusives.

Yes, I looked it up too. The point is that CGI is not used to represent the characters in the game. FMV, live-action footage,not CGI, is used as exposition in certain scenes.

Dang you are exactly right I forgot about that. Yeah I remember now. But if I'm not mistaken that's mostly stock footage.

yes, archival footage from news agencies and historic collections. they show nukes, people, rockets, soldiers, but never the characters themselves or events in the story. all the actual cut-scenes have been real-time. Of course, Kojima might really want to splice things up, so he might yet use some other mediums to mess with gamer's heads, and present this story.

what PS3 game has utilized the blu-ray storage technology? answer, none. MGS and FF will be about the same storage space of the current gen games.
