E3: No comment on MGS formats News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Is PS3 left out this time?

Konami has declined to comment when asked whether Metal Gear Solid: Rising is coming to any other format besides Xbox 360.

Rising was announced during Microsoft's E3 conference and the press release simply said "Metal Gear Solid: Rising will be released for Xbox 360."

However, a spokesperson was unwilling to comment when asked whether the game would also be released on PlayStation 3.

MGS Rising stars Raiden of MGS2 and MGS4 fame.

They did say everything after this point is exclusive to the Xbox 360 before the MGS announcement though.

Whether that means real exclusive or timed exclusive I don't know.

not an exclusive.

i'm a little disappointed to see MGS back, the series should have ended after MGS 4, the story is over....

No comment probably means it'll come to PS3; I think if it was 360 exclusive MS would have been throwing it in everyone's face.

no one has noticed that the 'next' site is still ticking down and that 'mask' is now scared and broken....

'Next' isn't Rising?

@Kremlik : The site is teasing at least two games maybe three. One MGS for 360 (and PS3) and one for PSP.. for starters.

The MGS introduction came after the 'everything beyond this point is only on XBox 360'. But I also believe that the MGS introduction was the reason for the 5 minute change in MS schedule.

It doesn't make sense for Konami to make this a 360 exclusive since the majoraty of the franchise's fanbase is on Playstation.

I think the new game will cover what happened to Raiden between MGS2 and MGS4. But I'm praying Hideo is working on two games...with the other being a remake of the first two Metal Gear NSX games.

doesn't "no comment" just like "we don't comment on speculation and rumours" pretty much confirm that what you say is true in Video game company talk?

I had no issue with the perspective change in MGS2, I thought it was a nice storytelling device.

As for the exclusivity, no-one has a clue. Someone posts a link suggesting yay, someone then one saying nay. In the MS press statement it had a big section for exclusive games and then another section for 'other stuff' where FFXIII and MG were. So a case of wait and see!

WILL appear on PS3 and perhaps a case of not spoiling MS party in not timed exclusive, and Sony will clarifys tomorrow?!

Reminds me of when FXIII was previewed at MS Conference and people starts to think for a sec.... what X360?! Nooo! Ah just MS blowing trumpets that FXIII now showing face on X360 AS well as THAT other console!

Maybe here too!

Still might explained the previous teases of logo that looked similar to X360 power button?!

some guys on another site are throwing around some "news" that there was a section during the MS keynote which was for 360 exclusive games like Crackdown 2 and the like. multiplatform titles like FFXIII were shown before that section while MGS was within.

Can anyone actually confirm? Cos if it is, it seems that every games site I read from here to destructoid conveniently managed to miss that!

From the MS press release:

"�Metal Gear Solid: Rising� (Konami Digital Entertainment). �Metal Gear Solid: Rising� is the highly anticipated debut of Hideo Kojima�s critically acclaimed �Metal Gear Solid� franchise on Xbox 360. �Metal Gear Solid: Rising� will star Raiden, one of the most popular characters in the �Metal Gear Solid� universe, in a new, thrilling adventure on Xbox 360."

doesn't sound like exclusive to me.

most of the other press release statements in the MS ones say words like 'exclusive'

Probably timed exclusive.
Microsoft's press release claims the following games to be the 10 exclusives to be announced:
-1 vs 10
-Alan Wake
-Crackdown 2
-Forza Motorsport 3
-GoW2ark Corners
-Halo 3: ODST
-Left 4 Dead 2
-Shadow Complex
-Conviction

MGS Raising is included in the following list, that actually implies multi-platform games, such as Modern Warfare 2 and Rock Band: The Beatles.

Maybe it's just Konami's policy of reserving themselves the right to state a game's exclusivity.

If it was an exclusive, MS representatives would have SHOUTED that from the rooftops

Is it just me, or is there a real chance that this simply might be a Metal Gear Solid 4 "redux" for Xbox 360 - MGS4 with a few exclusive new Raiden-controlled levels...? Surely that's a possibility, otherwise Hideo would have shown his usual 40 minute cut-scene that usually accompanies his new MGS games. They never referred to it as a brand new MGS game, but simply called it a new chapter after stating that MGS is coming to Xbox. I think there may be a few disappointed fans...

Nope, not true.

I searched on IGN and wasn't able to find any news stating that it was exclusive to the 360. Could you provide a link to that news item?

From what I know, definitely not an exclusive. Maybe a timed exclusive but I don't think so.

As for people complaining they're whoring out the franchise, did you really expect a Konami (whose work is after all selling as much as it can) to stop making games of one of their biggest franchises? Think again...

@ Erebu: Bioshock wasn't a case of a long running series always touted as the major selling point of Microsoft consoles like MGS has been for Sony.

How have I only just seen that comment from Erebu?

I own a PS3 numbnuts, I'm mature enough to realise that Sony are hardly going to be jumping for joy that one of their main exclusives has gone to 360. Its probably going to be cross platform, and that's a good thing!
