Metal Gear Solid 4 was released on June 12, 2008 exclusively for the Playstation 3. Since then, the game has been garnishing rave reviews including a 10 from IGN and Gamespot, arguably two of the most respected gaming site in the gaming industry. Despite being confirmed as an exclusive for the Playstation 3 by Kojima and Sony, rumors are still flying around that a 360 version of the universal acclaim game is already in development.
Lets consider the possibility that a 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 is to be confirm in the near future. What effects will it have on Sony? The answer is simple, nonewhatsoever.
Fans of the series would have already bought a Playstation 3 for the game and played it to death. If a 360 version of the game was to be announced then it would be released months or even a year from now. By then the hype for the game would be non-existent. It certainly will not push hardware sales for Microsoft's console as it did for Sony's. Sure Sony would lose another exclusive, but by the time a 360 version of the game is released Sony would have had better 1st and 2nd party exclusive titles on store shelves. The only effect a 360 version of the game would cause is a fanboy riot. Which would die down a day or two just like the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII going multi.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
TSA go hands on with the beta for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, but how is the game transitioning to the post-stylus era?
From what I understand a major part of the exclusivity on PS3 is in part to sony owning the movie rights and threatening a "no release" if it goes Multiplat.
Not only that but the constant barage of Apple products, Blu Ray jokes and other PS3 riff raff would make it a joke if it were ported. Not only that but the "12 discs" it would require as well would be insane. Not a feasable port unless it got dumbed down or had a mandatory install(Which was promised by MS to never be a standard or required)
In conclusion. There is no point in talking about it anymore until there is any kind of confirmation.
Didnt you hear? Metal Gear Solid 4 is only possible on the Playstation 3! Just kidding but honestly saying MGS4 can come to the 360 is like saying Gears of War is coming to the PS3. It just wont happen.
Sony wont let this slip through their hands.
BUT!! in the small chance that it does go multiplat, Sony wouldnt be worried. By the time a 360 version hit shelves Sony would have already squeezed out all the profits. The only thing Sony would lose would be bragging rights, with Microsoft claiming they took, "another exclusive".
