GP: Back to PS3 hardware: has it been challenging to work with the PS3 Cell CPU?

Kojima: Of course I don't actually work with all the programs, so I can't tell you specifically what's difficult. But overall I think it is difficult, of course.
(...)
GP: Is MGS4 still planned as an exclusive PS3 game? Do you have any interest in Xbox 360 development?

Kojima: Well, yes, I do have strong interest in creating something for the Xbox 360.

moving to games general chat..

I'd love to see MGS on the 360 and i fully belive it will happen, if it comes to the 360 first that would be awesome.

I could care less about the series. Just what I've seen from G4 it doesn't appeal to me, but I'd take it to rub it into Playstation fanboy faces.

I don't know why MGS4 is generating such a hype. I can understand fans of the series getting excited, but Sony is hailing it as it's killer app. I'm sorry but MGS4 would have been killer if it came out a year ago, but it's already looking a bit dated. We saw all these killer vids and pics, but when we finally got to see gameplay, it looked like Splinter Cell: DA. Lighting is crap, animation is so-so, texture seaming is garbage. This game screams 'rental' at every corner.

*runs and hides from the legions of people I just offended...

Your title is really misleading... especially when you point us to that article... I'm hoping you didn't think he was saying that it was too difficult to work with the ps3 and so the game is coming out on the 360... he mentions it was also difficult to work with the ps2... and he states he is interested in making a 360 game because they are selling in US and Europe (so this tells you he could be bought...lol). Says he'd really like to develop for PC because it is more of a world-wide platform... anyhow... as stated MGS4 is still only PS3, so far.

thats because it is on the ps3, the 360 would look a lot better

sorry, I think the 360 looks better than ps3 right now. just my opinion.
I would love to see mgs on the 360, I have played and beat all of them so far and I dont want to have to get a ps3 for mgs4.

Classic site

Graphically its dated, it would have been dated even if it came out at the same time the 360 launched. Games like Condemned look far better.

Game wise, I despise the series so whatever happens with a 360 version doesnt concern me in the least. Splinter Cell 5 all the way.

hell yeah bro. it will be VERY interesting to see how MGS4 is compared to SC5.

I love how the MGS franchise predates the SC game series by about 5 years yet somehow MGS4 will be compared against SC5

normally when you have a situation like that the one with more frequent releases gets short changed in terms of bugs or graphics.

Not only that the SC series is xplatform...

it has everything against it yet release for release it continues to not just be the better looking game but one of the best looking games on any platform it's released on, not to mention some the best gameplay in the spy/action genre and the only one in the genre (to my knowledge) with a multiplayer mode good enough that even if there was competition it would still probably be the better system.

IMO the only thing MGS has over SC... and this is complete matter of opinion... is if you happen to like the story line/art direction better in MGS.

MGS is more of a future Anime style while SC is more of a modern day western espionage.

For me I like the story/art direction of both, I love SC's graphics and gameplay and I've been hooked since I played the first one.

MGS's graphics are pretty good, it's titles have better then average graphics but not necessarily the best... But I could never get over the game play, the fixed camera simply kills it for me.

Hitman is an awesome series too. I loved Blood Money, and after playing it I now hold that series in higher regard then MGS.

Twisted. I think I can agree with pretty much everything that you are saying.

I also love the SC series and although it may have been inspired by Metal Gear it really is a different animal. SC is all about travelling from point A to point B and doing it as perfectly as you possibly can, the story is generally a side issue.

The MGS series has always been more of a cinematic experience with great depth and research going in to the story and place setting.

I wuld have to say that I generally enjoy the SC games much more than MGS but MGS: Twin Snakes on the GC was just fantastic for me. All of the story and surroundings of the first game of the new series with the engine of MGS2. Brilliant.

Going back though, if I was asked to choose I wouldn't be able to. I look at them in totally different ways.

Also, the MGS series actualluy pre-dates the SC series by 15 years. The first title was released in 1987 on the MSX2 and later NES.

Below is the full list of titles right up to MGS4.

* Metal Gear (MSX2/Famicom/NES/C64/PC/Mobile Phone/PlayStation 2, 1987)
* Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX2/Mobile Phone/PlayStation 2, 1990)
* Metal Gear Solid (PlayStation, 1998)
* Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PlayStation 2, 2001)
* Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PlayStation 2, 2004)
* Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PlayStation Portable, 2006)
* Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PlayStation 3, 2007)

I was going to point out that MGS predates Splinter Cell by more then a decade. In your list you forgot to note MGS2 on XBox. I played MGS2 on XBox and loed it and as such I am looking forward to the possibility of playing MGS4 on my 360.

"Metal Gear" predates SC by 15 years

"Metal Gear Solid" only predates it by about 4 or 5 as I said.

I realize it stemmed from an old 2D game but really it has little in common with the current franchise apart from the name.

So the story line doesn't count as having something in common? Because I feel that it definately does..
