E3: MGS: Rising for PC/PS3 too? News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Plus: MGS: Peace Walker PSP.

Oops! Konami may not be discussing formats for Metal Gear Solid: Rising, but UK-based media resource Games Press appears to have let the genetically modified super-soldier out of the cardboard box.

According to the site's listings overnight - and still this morning - MGS: Rising is down for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, with "TBA" listed for launch dates.

However, the site is more specific about a new PSP game, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, which is lists for 2010. Double oops. Mind you, Sony still has them beaten on that front after outing the PSP Go including a new MGS game over the weekend on its own prematurely published online TV show.

We still expect to hear about the new MGS PSP game - Peace Walker, then - at the Sony conference tonight at 11am PST / 7pm BST / 8pm CET, although given MGS: Rising's presence at the Microsoft conference yesterday we wouldn't necessarily expect to hear about that again until Konami itself pipes up.

at the start of their games line-up they did yell "mind you that all of the games we are about to show you are exclusive to the Xbox360 platform".

then again, they have mentioned that exact line in the past, while the games turned out not to be exclusives... can't remember with which one though...

edit: typo.

Not surprising that MGS:Rising is going multi-format.

It really would have been a kick in the teeth for loyal fans of the franchise for whom MGS4 was - and still is - one of the main reasons to own a PS3.

Thought the announcement of all the following games being exclusive was after the MGS one..

Why do I have a horrible feeling this game is going to be a Devil May Cry kind of action game doing away with everything that makes MGS good?

@ Tyranix

Because you played it already if you have played the action dream sequence in MGS4

Makes sense to release the next MGS game for as many platforms as it is able to run on (obviously not the Wii then...) because it is more cost-effective and means you can sell it to a larger audience and make more money from the game. Although there will always be first-party exclusives, the days when third-parties like Konami, Capcom and Namco made games for one format only seem to be numbered because games production is just too expensive.

Just you wait for the inevitable face-off where the PS3 version will be revealed as the inevitably inferior one.

"Not surprising that MGS:Rising is going multi-format"

Small mistake there. I do understand what you meant, but maybe you presented it a little incorrectly. From what I understand, MGS: Rising is not going multi-format, but was multi-platform from the beginning.

Even though, for several previous games, it is only EG (and maybe some 360-centric blogs) across the Net that happen to think that
