I too was shocked at Kojima's announcement at the Microsoft conference... but as long as its not an exclusive im fine with it, just hope the quality isn't sacrificed. Knowing Kojima, hes probably gonna take the extra time he has and polish it up real good.
kojima is most probably not going to be able to deliver another MGS which runs at 1080p native on the PS3. the cross-platform development is going to divide his team, which previously concentrated full time on the MGS 4.
as for the quality... i don't think it's going to be as good, simply because the MGS 4 took 50GB of space on the bluray, and it would be obviously impossible to settle this on dual dvds for the xbox360, unless kojima sells the game on 7 discs for xbox360 version, which is, let's face it, not realistic. so, not happening.

MGS exclusive for xbox360? LOL
Fear not! I do not see this happening, ever! If that ever happens, then something must have going really reeeally wrong with Kojima and Sony. Given their decade-long relationship, i frankly do not see that happening.
The article in the first, actually surprised me the most about Sony, which apparently didn't even know Rising was going to be released for xbox360. LOL... damn, that's just sad. But hey, Sony has so much power and so many of the world's best game development studios, that it's really just a ripple out there in their sea of high quality games abundance.
On second thought, i doubt the validity of that argument, as i'm perplexed how Kojima could have kept even Sony out on knowing that he would be bringing MGS to xbox as well. I think Sony already knew, to be fair. E3 is meant to be a surprise from game developers to the consumers, and not between game developers. Get my point?

Yeah I doubt that Sony didn't know, seeing how they got the FFXIV trailer up and running so fast and since MGS4 took up a whole Blu-ray, its really starting to bother me with how their gonna manage with only a dual layer DVD... it might be a small game :hmm: ; and I know most ppl talk bad about how MGS4 had too much cuts cenes but I actually enjoyed them.
i cant see kojima releasing a game he believes to be sub-par (mgs4 limited edition bluray anyone? he's mean wen it comes to the detail of a game!)
best thing i think he cud do, is make the 360version first, then port it to ps3 and add in the details there (like ff13 but in reverse ;))
if not then he will have to obviously try and fit what he believes is the best quality game he can on 8.5gb :(
OR he cud release the 360version in "editions" (like half-life episodes) and just put the whole thing on bluray for ps3 :p
but i dont think that wud happen tbh!
im impressed to hear that project natal works! i did post in another thread that i wud hold my reservations until i see a tech demo like sony's motion sensor, but to hear that dev kits have already been issued and there wer people demoing (is that a word??) it, then i wud like to have a go for myself
ff14 already being shown seemed like a pretty big slap in the face for me, since ff13 isnt even released in japan yet, with the western world having to wait even longer than that!
i understand dev's working on multiple projects concurrently to save time, but to say to the fans "hey, we havent finished 13 yet, but look at what we've been doin with 14!" even for an mmorpg, it is still frustrating to hear from a dev!
"hey we havent finished modern warfare 2 yet, but look at how wel wer working on modern warfare 3!" ... nope, just wudn't happen. ever.
it seems abit unfair for sony to have the psn download charges for devs (16c/gb i last heard) only to concession that charge when threatened with losing the dlc! ok i can understand business, and losing your customers is bad business, but allowing capcom a free dlc offer because they wud only release res5 dlc on 360 is insane! it opens the door for other devs to follow suit and sony will either end up scrapping the charge altogether, lowering it, or keeping it and losing alot of dlc :crazy:
@sharks
mgs4 had amazing graphics, but it wasnt natively 1080p, it was upscaled 720
and im dun :p
