Tretton: MGS4 not possible on other consoles

Posted on July 16th, 2008 at 05:26 EDT

CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America Jack Tretton has proclaimed that Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is “only possible” on the PlayStation 3.

Speaking at the company’s press conference at E3 this week, Tretton noted that the critically acclaimed stealth action title would not be possible on any other console, partly down to the capabilities of Blu-ray.

“PS3 offers an experience for both gamers and developers no other console can match,” said Tretton.

“Metal Gear Solid is not only exclusive on PS3 – it’s only possible on PS3, thanks in part to Blu-Ray.“

"PS3 drove the Blu-Ray format to victory and now the Blu-Ray format is poised to return the favour,” he added.

I seriously dont think the man is joking - the playstation 3 has a lot of raw horse power that even the 360 @ 30﹪sec 720 just cant compair to

No they didn't.  They reason FF13 was under wraps is because they were ALWAYS designing it for cross-platform.  Open your eyes.  They never showed anything or said anything about it because it's "non-PS3ness" would have made it eveident that they went lower spec.  Now that the secret's out, expect to see FF13 everywhere, with regular news updates.  Mark my words.

Last year, SE issued a trailer for FF13 that said, "Exclusive for the Playstation 3" to disspell any rumors of being cross-platform. That's why it was such a shock.

@chomperbull

Didn't it look blurry on PS3 and not 360? That's the impression I have received

@Lozt_again, the ps3 version of gta iv had better graphics compared to da xbox version, its also stated in IGN review of the game

Its too much for 360 to hold that amount of work anyway, so its better to have MGS4 on Blur-ray cause of the space from the Harddrive.

@ lozt again it looked blurry on the 360 everything in the background was blurred out and had bad lighting. the ps3 just got the cra@py online.

actually i seem to remember square did say along time ago that bluray n ps3 was the next best thing and ff13 was only possible on the ps3,now look what happens,trust me if something like ff13 can fit on the 360 then mgs4 will fit easy.just all about money,watch out a year or so from now.besides does anybody really care if a game is 2 disc`s or 3.nobody complained about ff7 or 8 or 9 being multi disc.

psn id: gingo... they would have to compress the game so much just to fit on a normal dvd so i tihnk this is true and kojima was complaining about blu ray not having enough space so i think he may go raging if he was stuck with 9gb

Just to show how great this game this was the first and only game my girl has got into she ask me to keep playing so she could see what happens and I got a bad B*t%h that shops all day and stay fly but she was hooked by the story, might not mean much to you but if you knew my girl you too would be impressed that the game did that.

MGS4 is the best game ever. I've never seen a game like this in any other console. Tretton is saying the truth.

@acidhead89  I completely agree with you

I saw the SE president announce the news on E3 yesterday. It seems like he was forced to port FFXIII. Maybe covenants are keeping his family hostage? LOL jk

I think that Kojima and Nomura (MGS4 & FF13 Versus) are the ones who saved theese games from going multiplatform.

Can you guys not comprehend there is a matter of processing power at play, too? It's not just about disc space, the 360 is just not even close to on par with the PS3, MGS4 is, indeed, impossible on the 360.

And we'll only see much, much better coming to our beautiful black beasts.

@ jatt4964

gtavi had better graphics on xbox360 than the ps3 version. check gamespot.com for graphics comparison of both console versions. And I believe mgs4 can be developed for the 360, even though it will require about 2-3 dual laer dvds. With what square enix has done, i believe even the others can follow their footsteps. At least se should have given the ps3 ffxiii about six months of exclusive before releasing the xbox360 version.

you guys kojima has confirmed many many times that MGS4 IS NOT GOING TO THE 360 if i trust anyone as a game developer its him and using multiplat games as examples as to how it mgs4 is possible is absolutely rediculous because those games were already developed for multiplat in mind kojima is too much of a perfectionist to change his artistic vision just so it  can be played on another console and i dont care if konami ever wanted to its kojimas IP and if it came down to konami trying to force him i guarantee he'd walk he doesnt need konami, konami needs him plus he has already said that the cell processor was essential to develop mgs4 im tired of seeing this rumor the only reason why it has come up is because of stupid FFXIII, dont worry mgs4 will not go the same route, now get over it
