As most of you know, last Wednesday we announced a new exclusive game development deal with NCSoft, the company behind big MMO games like Lineage and City of Heroes. We’ve been getting a lot of questions about it and thought you might be interested in checking out this interview our friends at Global Gaming League and Epileptic Gaming did with NCSoft’s President of North America.

Kojima took the stage at E3 and said that HIS BABY MGS4 would stay at home on PS3. I doubt that this will change.
MGS4 on 360 would take like 4 discs.
To me Kojima hold more weight when it comes to MGS than Kazumi Kitaue dose.
And the PS3 install base has almost doubled after the price drop (unoffical numbers) so there will be no need to go multi platform.
@Dno
Hope that never happens. That would hurt the PS3 and Sony better not let it happen. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
@40cal
If I’m not mistaken, but correct me if I’m wrong, the only person that I heard say that MGS4 was exclusive to the PS3 was Jack Tretton himself at E3. I saw Kojima just standing there when Tretton said it each time.(Which was like 3 or 4 times.) Tretton was happy to announce it I guess. I would be too. But I had a feeling that Tretton said it even realizing Kojima said such a statement before E3 took place. My bet was always on that MGS4 would not make its way to the 360, but with Kojima saying such things before E3, and Tretton acting like he just ignored what he said before E3, and still said it was exclusive, is a little confusing to me. I wish we could get Kojima himself to clarify things up. I wonder why they didn’t get him in here for the inside the developers studio. edition… :-(
Let me take something back, Kojima didn’t say anything. It was the Konami exec who released that info as Dno already stated on an earlier comment. My mistake their. Sorry.
GI: Is Metal Gear Solid 4 still exclusive? Is that solidified and will never appear on the Xbox 360?
Harrison: Yes. We said it was an exclusive title
Good enough for me, and a link to the rest of the interview.

Just watched the E3 show again Kojima did not say it would be exclusive Jack did. Kojima did confirm what Jack said.
You can download all three E3 showings on IGN’s website. Hope yall have a fast conection.
So..
Lets just talk about something. Cuz I am getting bored to death.
@blizzard182
I know bro a new post would be nice. Patrick, where you at?
@40cal
Guess that would be good enough for me now then. Thanks!
@ Chillibilly
There´s a way you could download stuff from the PS UK STORE…I suppose i don´t have to tell you how… Im actually downloading The Darkness Demo right now (81%) ;)
@deadxbabiesxinc
You know how on the PSP, before the wall paper background feature came out on an update, you could have atleast changed the color of the theme. Like, red, blue, yellow, green, and so on. Does the PS3 have that option, cuz I didn’t see it anywhere. Or does anyone know for that matter?
@thechosenfew88
Nope. You can not. I searched for that option too but there is not present.
I still want to know if I am going to be able to broadcast to the tv with my normal PSP.
@jacsro
I was thinking on doing something like that. Do you lose any configuration? Were you able to switch back?
hahahaha you guys ever heard of myspace or IM?
@blizzard182
Nop, you dont loose any configuration. Switching back just means logging in to my PS3 with my original user.
@jacrso
Alright. I am gonna do it as soon as I get home.
Probably this posts will be erased in 5….4….3….
@jacsro: Yep I know how, thanks for the tip. :)
I just get this dirty feeling when I’m dishonest.
I’m watching E3 award videos gametrailers have rounded up in different categories. Like Best first person shooter, best graphics, most disappointint, and so on. Its a good way to pass by time. Interesting to see by the way.
@thechosenfew88
yeah it sad that the PS3 doesn’t even have that feature from launch. I really can’t think its that hard to do but who knows…i’m still waiting patiently til I see it in a couple firmware updates.
Does anybody know what’s the word with the title Eight Days? I know this is not MGS4 question.
@thechosenfew88
Link please? =)
@chillibilly
Yep, i feel the same way…but hey, i think it´s Sony´s fault that push us to do this kind of things…they could have added that demo to the US Store as well…
hmmm i don’t even remember Eight Days. I guess I’d have to google it or something.
Sony’s “bait and switch” strategy won the Most Disappoint because of the “temporary price drop”. I wouldn’t be surprised. Talk about getting your feelings hurt, and not making things better, is a heck of a disappointment. It sucks to see that Sony’s name is out there for disappointing news.

@ghostm
Holy crap! I remember that game! I remember it cuz you’d be watching a cutscene of a guy taking over and then as soon as he’d jump towards a window, you’d take over when he crashes through it and lands and then its gun fire all over. Man…i didn’t know thats what it was called lol. Thanks for the reminder!
Heavenly Sword just got announced as a trilogy. I haven’t even played the first one yet and already want the second one. Go ahead and start the development, start it today Ninja Theory.
Sony still hasn’t responded at all on this BLOG! WTF!
Is Sony done with the F1 series?
I saw E3 i know what he said but he never said it was not coming on xbox and i think it is unless sony pays them and from what we know sony will not pay so Sony better have TOP 1st party games (which from what we see Lair, Heavenly sword etc. they do) or we will be getting lots of games on our 360s
While I love MGS I’m afraid Heavenly Sword, Lair and the likes look better developed to me. I don’t really care if MGS goes to the 360 (all previous versions went to xbox) the fact remains that xbox CANNOT make games equivalent to those we see up coming for the ps3 ( KIllzone, Lair, HS and so on).
What I worry about is if developers really want to put as big an effort into making games along the lines of those previously mentioned or not
Holly [DELETED] you must look at the video for Best Graphics from gametrailers. Ratchet and Clank looks amazing…just amazing.
Beautiful environments.
I needed to PUT THIS ON THE BLOG… SPREAD THE NEWS PEOPLE.
New SIXAXIS: RUMBLE, ALSO ADD A MIC!#@$
SPREAD THIS AROUND GET IT TO SONY’S EARS!
^ Sorry for that hehe. Just too damn good.
About the new Touch Sense controller… Does it get its name because maybe the buttons are like PS3’s eject/restart TOUCH SENSING buttons.
will the buttons be touch (heat from fingers) sensing???? I just realized that touch sense may mean that! but i doubt it
@ West End Matt
The only MGS game to hit the X-Box was Twin Snakes, it also came out for Gamecube.
@blizzard182
Ratchet and Clank is graphicly amazing.
I did not know it got Best Graphics. Well deserved.
@40cal
You know, actually it is shown at first in the video but it does not appear even as a nominee.
Call of Duty 4 got the Best Graphic award and I must say you have to see the whole video. Killzone 2 looks like GoW and it is still pre-alpha!!
@ 334
by touch sense they mean that you can feel the controller vibrate in different parts. like if you are btich slapped on your right cheek in gta4 you will fell the right side of the control vibrate.
CAN WE GET A NEW POST ALLREADY!
lmao, Kratos_ate_Snake I love your example of the touch sense in 337
@blizzard182
COD 4 is also going to be awsome. I can not see the guy in the grass until he starts moving. Killing people from a global modern day point of view is a plus.
I believe the first posts had so much information, and the last ones are just 4 lines an some external links, with no comment from Sony.
Is it only me?
Also, I know you guys are probably too busy but an update would be nice. Is not there anything new in Sony´s Universe?
40cal,Metal Gear Solid 2 was for the xbox it was called Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance. win snakes only came out for the gamecube, i believe.
Thanks for responding to our criticism Sony….FYI, you’ll most likely recieve hundreds of comments on every blog posts asking for: in-game XMB, more demos. Add in-game XMB, and encourage more developers to add demos, and you’re good.
I’m going to gain 50 pounds sitting around waiting to see when Sony will ever respond to any of our comments. Heck, I may get too fat that I’ll might just have to go buy me a Wii just to get Wii Fit…and lose a couple pounds…. :-)
@Philly_FIre
Yes you are right. Still only one MGS game for X-Box. Thanks for the correction though.
@thechosenfew88
LOL LOL LOL!
@thechosenfew88
lol!!!
After seeing that kid lose weigh after 6 months using the wiimote and the new wii fit, I believe the wii has become the most fun and expensive workout machine ever!
@blizzard182 & thechosenfew88
Are we a little hardcore or what? I see you guys on here every day. This might as well be our fourm. LOL
It appears, by the screen shot someone was able to get, that the PS3’s at E3 were running a different firmware update. Firmware 1.90. When pushing the Playstation center button, an option for select music was found under Adjust Screen Settings. Would you like to comment on this Sony?

My first trophy for home needs to be for bloging on this site. LOL
