Konami fixes Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer, removes Playstation 3 logo

[Shadowblind]

At the 2006 TGS, Kojima clearly stated that MGS 4 was for PS3 only. They worked hard to get the best out of the Cell architecture wich is far from compatible with the 360. Indeed, MGS 2 have been ported on Xbox but now, that a totally different story.. PS3 is stronger than Xbox 360. It makes portage/multiplatform incompatible.

End of the story.

Indeed it is. But most of its power cannot be utilized. Making it equal(or less, depends on game) powerful.

We all said the same thing with the Ps2 at launch with his miserable 4 mb ram. Then, few years after, we had FF X, God of war, Genji.. MGS 4 look positively good even if it is still a first generation game. The character models are the best looking in the console departement. MGS subsistance for Xbox couldn't play mgs 2 as well as on PS2 ; rain and wind effects were less good and major slowdowns in first person view outside the cargo ship at the beginning.
It showed that even if the xbox is technicaly superior to the ps2, porting a game wich is primaly designed for a different system need alot of processing power. Alsoi, multiplatform games aren't the one in wich you will see major visual improvement. N64 Goldeneye was exclusive, Halo was exclusive, GOW too. MGS 4 will certainly be too. Im not agains't a Xbox 360 portage, I didn't complained about it when Assassin's creed was confirmed on Xbox360. I only doubt that it will happen since Konami never gived any hints what so ever going in the direction.

I know, I've got a bad memory and get sidetracked easily.

Anyway Accordion I like you, let me take you out on a date...

that was good.

i also have no worries about either exclusivity [mainly because i dont care as long as play the game] or whether this game will make best use of the ps3 this early on, both 2 and 3 still look amazing and stand uo well to current games. MGS4 will be a very early sign of what the ps3 can do and will probably become the level whcih other games need to aspire to years later.

There has been many sources from konami that this game will be ps3 exclusive:

Konami Podcast before

Kojima calling the PS3 a theatre and thats what MGS4 needs

If those were lies from him and his company, the company's gonna lose alot of fans for those lies. Dedicated fans that is.

[Xiofire]

Why is the Konami logo gone?
Dont tell me there "porting" it to EA for them to develop it? EA wont be able to utilize its full potential lol Nah, but even if it goes multi platform, ill get the PS3 version, same with Devil May Cry.

Ah, I see your point...

The TGS'05 Trailer bragged about the Cell processor

And the TGS'06 trailer also didn't have the PS3 logo on it... yet at GO3 Kojima said it was exclusive to PS3 and the Kojima Productions Reports reconfirmed what Kojima said.

From all we can see... the game is still PS3 exclusive and built solely to take advantage of Blu-Ray and the Cell.
