PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain

Could be a timed exclusive so technically he wouldn't be wrong in saying its multi platform, just not on release.

We will find out on Wednesday I guess

So it's a non exclusive rumor of an exclusive rumor, of a rumor in and of itself....

Lol. Ok.

That's not necessarily a bad thing unless you're a console warrior
The important question is still whether it's even real or not.

@Voltan Agreed, I'm just happy it seems to be coming back at all!

A rumor about a rumor
Amazing

We've had several releases of MGS3 at this point. The original, Subsistence, 3D, PSVITA, HD Collection. A great game but it really is time for MGS1, it desperately needs to be brought onto par with the other HD releases. Besides the exclusive Twin Snakes it didn't get a re-release.

I have all of the games including my physical original PSX copy. But it still needs it.

Maybe konami are playing it safe with the most popular one for their comeback.
Furthermore, how can they say it's multiplat or timed? It's not even a confirmed game so how would they know? And honestly, if SH2 is already confirmed timed it's likely and safe to assume that MGS will be too assuming it's real. Sony would have likely snapped them up at the same time.

Imagine is the PS5 version gets an exclusive metal gear acid mini mode/DLC, I enjoyed the one on psp.

As long as I own it within the next year, couldn’t care less if it’s on Xbox too.

So pumped for it. If I could have MGS, Bioshock and SOCOM for the showcase what a joy it would be.

A Metal Gear remake without Kojima? How is this going to be anything else other than rubbish?

@LifeGirl
Well it's not a new game and presumably no new content so it is a Kojima game just a remake in a newer engine.

Honestly just hoping they release the HD collection on everything. A remake would be cool, but I’m happy to play the originals over and over again

I just hope it’s a remake in the terms of how Capcom are doing them with Resident Evil 2, 3 & 4 rather than just little more than some polish.

If it isn't exclusive there is zero reason to show it at the showcase. Save it for Summer Gamefest.

@LiamCroft it's not only insider gaming that said it's multiplat, Jez Corden also said 10 days ago it's gonna be multiplat, how did you miss that?

@jmac1686 lol that is absurd, PS always shows splashy multiplatform games to generate hype, if your logic was true we would have Sony showcases that are 10 minutes long lol the point of a showcase isn't to show only exclusives

Sony may have made a deal with Konami… for marketing of these games, as opposed to exclusivity. But anyway the more platforms the better!

Recently tried Metal Gear Solid for the first time (PS1 port on Vita)… was still blown away by the production values attached to that intro; but struggled to get into it. Happy to start from a remake of the prequel and go from there.

It would be kinda funny if the big rumored Konami game turned out to be a remake of Rumble Roses instead.

@alienwithin You mean the same Jez Cordon I mention in the article, who also said Sony has an exclusivity agreement?

@LiamCroft as long as the mini game Ape Escape returns.

Good for the players.

This is all under the proviso that the game is real.

As long as its coming.doesnt matter tome if its a exclusive or not.more games is always welcome.word up son

@LiamCroft that's an old rumor, in a newer podcast streamed 10 days ago he said it'll be multiplatform. he got new info, go to the r/gamingleaksandrumors to find the post with the podcast timestamps cause I can't post links here. he also said that the exclusivity agreement could be just marketing or a dlc.

This isn't a bad thing.

@LiamCroft Guy makes sure to cover all bases…that’s how you get a proven record as a ‘leaker’ 👍

Showcase happens and then it turns out the remake doesn't even exist. Instead you get a remake of Metal Gear Survive with pachinko mechanics.

@KaijuKaiser If development gets prioritized for one platform (PS5) then that's all you need. I just want Dualsense support, other than that, no need for any of these titles to not release elsewhere.

@KaijuKaiser oh yeah you mean like masterpieces like Elden Ring got downgraded and it's a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or Resident Evil 4 remake is a 2/10 on Xbox but 10/10 on ps5? or dead space remake? etc etc etc.. stop this nonsense that "this is bad!!"
what game is held back and not running great on ps5 and XSX?? all of the great games from top tier developers are running PERFECT on both consoles.
games aren't made for the Series S then ported to XSX/PS5.
they're made on an engine on PC and then ported to consoles, then developers optimize games for each console.
stop this nonsense

I'd rather have the entire series rebooted, starting with the first two msx games. Starting with mgs3 appears odd to me unless they're going for a chronological approach.
I get the chills thinking about a fist fight on a minefield between grey fox and snake in current gen graphics.

So glad it's for current generation only.

@KaijuKaiser series s is a great little piece of hardware unless you obsess over resolution. Performance is good in most everything I played so far.

@KaijuKaiser there's a fine line between "triggered" and spitting facts. you think locking a massive iconic game to 1 console is good for gaming lol and you think games are made for series s then ported to XSX/PS5 while we've seen all games running perfect on both consoles.
MGS3 will be multiplat as it should be and it's great for gaming and gamers

@Voltan Multiplatform games never run as well as exclusives, it's a pain for the devs.

Just look at FF16, the director has already said if they had to release it on PC then the game wouldn't be finished yet.

@alienwithin You claim multiplats are great for gaming yet your previous comments are saying Microsoft should be allowed to buy ABK

Stop flip flopping to suit your narrative.

Konami will never touch the Metal Gear franchise without Kojima, or else they would have done it years ago already.
Although they have the rights, they will understand it's still his creation. And they know they will do it bad without him.

Couldn't care less about its exclusivity. All that matters to me is whether or not David Hayter is returning to voice Snake. A remake can possibly be done really well without Hideo Kojima but if we're talking a brand new MGS title then yh it wouldn't be a proper Metal Gear game without HK on board. There's obviously no guarantee it's revealed on Wednesday or if it exists at all but at the same time over the last few years nobody in the know has denied anything about these rumours either

If its revealed Wednesday night and they don't use the line kept you waiting huh, that be a missed opportunity for sure. Suppose if this game does exist, they could use that line on the final trailer on the final week of release or somewhere else

Everyone should get to play this GOAT game but I would prefer if it's built for the PS5 first. Then we go and remake Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2 at last.

@KaijuKaiser it's a Konami game, not a "playstation game", Konami + kojima created the game and they own the game and they developed the game. exclusivity will not make it "good" or better in anyway lol that's why there are exclusive flops on all 3 consoles.

@TrickyDicky99 Microsoft isn't making ABK games exclusive, and metal gear is a much older game than COD and is more iconic and making it exclusive isn't a great idea, that's why Konami is making it multiplat, they could've chosen timed exclusivity but they won't ever make games fully exclusive to ps again.
it doesn't benefit Konami in anyway, PLUS they're rebuilding their studios and just outsourcing games temporarily, once their studios are ready to make big AAA games they won't give their IPs to any external dev, they'll do multiplatform games like they always had

@TrickyDicky99 "Just look at FF16, the director has already said if they had to release it on PC then the game wouldn't be finished yet"
that is absolute nonsense, we've seen great games releasing on PC, PS5, Xbox all at the same time, your argument is so wrong, if we apply your logic no games would come out ever on 3 platforms cause it takes a long to make 3 versions.
FF16 is made by a Japanese dev who just wants to promote the ps5 even more and they were paid by sony for exclusivity, that's why the pc version won't come out day and date.

As long as it's great quality and on the system I want to play it on I'm happy.

@alienwithin The director came out and said that, so no it's not nonsense, it's 100% fact. And Microsoft won't keep all game multiplat, especially after the 10 year deal would be up.

So I presume you are opposed to MS buying Bethesda and making their games exclusive then? Or just another flip flop

lets get this out of the way , i just want it to be real first and be announced.

@LiamCroft I am not sure but think he said recently in a podcast that his latest info might point at previous sources being wrong (but I might be mixing things up.)

Either way: Sony could possibly have an exclusive marketing agreement, instead of “game exclusivity”.

Personally, the more platforms the better.

Weird that Konami would deign to make Metal Gear multi-console but not Silent Hill.

@DiggleDog the rumor is that Silent Hill is a timed exclusivity deal. In other words: Sony paid to lock the game on PS for a limited time. Paying for multiple games likely was too expensive.

I always assumed that the rumoured exclusive ps5 Metal Gear game would be a remake of the original Metal Gear solid. I'm sure l read something about Blue point being involved and Mark Cerny too, that would make more sense I sopose with the original game once a playstation exclusive.

As someone who has never played a MGS game and loves Death Stranding I can’t wait to try these games!

Actually come to think of it, the original Metal Gear solid 3 game was a ps2 exclusive too if I remember right. It was my favourite Metal Gear game, that I played anyway. I didn't like Metal Gear sold 2 and I never played 4 or 5 even though I have 5 through playstation plus I think

Tbh I don't care either way. Snake Eater has been multi-platform for a long time now and should respect that if the remake is real after all.

Don't really think console exclusivity for a MGS3 Remake is a big deal since you can buy and play the original MGS3 on both PS3 and 360.

Who knows. Aslong it's real that's all I care about. And technically it would make sense. More sales give us a better chance of getting the others. And it's logical to release 3 first, considering it's the original starting point in the timeline.

Long as the remake still has the three minute ladder climb set to the acoustic version of “Snake Eater” it’ll be a day one for me.

If they strip that out I will absolutely riot.

I suspect Sony will have the marketing rights, but the game will be multiplatform.

@alienwithin Exclusive games run better and look better it's a bloody fact. Look at crossgen games they look better then several "next gen" multiplatorm games.

@KaijuKaiser It's downgraded on PS5 too. If you really want to go by your logic, every console is "holding gaming back" simply because PC can run games on ultra settings and 140 fps or higher.

If you want games to be at the highest possible quality they can be, stop gaming on console full stop. You guys are really going on about 60 fps when that was avaliable years ago on PC.

@Flaming_Kaiser What exclusives? Control? Red Dead 2? Yeah they're multiplatform...

I only own a ps5 and switch now after selling my series x but hope it also comes to Xbox so they can also enjoy the game.

@Phornix Demon Souls, Rachet and Clank, the Last of us, Uncharted, Infamous. Infamous on the PS4 still looks fantastic.

@Skeletor85 they already did. Metal Gear Survive anybody?😂

@alienwithin So are you opposed to what Microsoft has done with Bethesda or not?

@KaijuKaiser You just touched on exactly what I was thinking.

The real question is, does it really matter at this point?

Seems everyone has decided the PS5 is the place to be aside from some xboxer hold outs thinking all those acquistions microsoft made will start spinning gold befroe the generation is out.

PC seems doable. Sure.

Doubt anyone will want to play a remake of MGS3 on switch. I mean sure portable. Great. Sounds good. If that was the case they could have done that with Vita, 3DS, and Steamdeck already. If you don't care about parity with the high end machines.

Whatever, its coming to PS5, will likely be the best version to play. I'm happy in with this fact tha tI don't need anything else to play it.

@alienwithin

1) Elden Ring was originally targetting last gen hardware. Not really the best case and honestly doesn't look as good as it could have had it targeted current gen. Regardless of whether or not it was on Xbox Series X.

2) All the games you listed have been impacted as well. Dead Space Remake had attention taken away from playstation to fix its issues on xbox, leading to both versions having their own unique issues.

3) "What game is held back" You just listed 2.

4) "All the games from top tier developers are running perfect." Couldn't be further from the truth. Call of Duty, pick any release, simply not the case. They aren't the only ones experiencing issues. Often times it forces them to develop for a common denominator.

5) "they're made on an engine on PC and then ported to consoles, then developers optimize games for each console." That's actually not how that process works at all. Depending on the developer not every member of the staff may have access to a PC powerful enough to even run the game. So tools maybe setup to run in tandem with console dev kits and test kits. Additionally a target platform tends to be chosen and the PC is built around that target platform and upgraded during development. So all platforms get equal attention. This leads to the lowest common denominator problem.

6) The Lowest Common Denominator problem. Made worse by parity mandates at 3rd party studios to keep first parties happy.

7) Series S is as big of a hindernece and provides some level of scalability. Projects have compromised themselves to suit the lower end CPU and GPU.

8) Xbox is also not using the same compression algorithms nor the same speed SSD. This can cause compromises as well, likely already has in the name of parity.

9) truth be told, its to early to chatting about what has been hindered just yet. We won't be feeling the consequences till later in the console generation. If more 3rd parties start opting for PlayStation and PC compatibility, cutting out the xbox, you'll know the limitations are there and developers are not willing to deal with it. So one of three things will happen, the games stop coming to xbox, the games start to become of lesser quality on xbox, or sony's game is held back to make xbox happy.

@TrickyDicky99 the FF16 director said if they make FF16 for PC it'll take longer to release which is pure nonsense, we're seeing masterpieces like Resident Evil 4 remake and dead space coming out on 3 platforms the same day, they're just a Japanese company who made an exclusivity deal with their Japanese fellows to promote the Japanese console, nothing more nothing less. if they wanted a PC day one release they could've easily done it, if we apply your logic that means no games would ever release on 3 platforms cause it takes so long.
now I'm gonna tell you what he really said, he was talking about the PC version, he said it can't be ready in a 6 months, they need more time cause they focused on ps5.

@Tharsman you're not wrong, Jez did say the game will be multiplatform 10 days ago, that's the newest info he shared but @LiamCroft refuses to correct his article and chose to use an older rumor.
unrelated but Tom Henderson now says the teaser doesn't have any release date

@NotSoCryptic that is a very long message but no game has ever been affected, watching Digital Foundry all my life and they never said "the ps5 version looks bad because of the series S"
you think games are made for Series S then ported to PS5 lol while games are made on an engine on PC then ported to consoles differently. the Xbox Series version isn't compatible with the PS5, games are not made on 1 console then ported to the other, games are made on an engine on PC and optimized for each console separately.
Dead space had no issues, neither did RE4 remake

@TrickyDicky99 I'm not opposed to what Microsoft done with Bethesda cause they didn't remove any game from the PS5, Starfield + Redfall have never been on ps5, but metal gear 3 is on Xbox 360 and Nintendo so why should it be made exclusive to ps5? I will hate Microsoft when they remove a game that exists on ps5 and I wake up the next day to not find it on the store.

These rumors are killing me. I love reading them but I hate them at the same time. It’s a complicated relationship.
Wednesday can’t come soon enough… 😩

@alienwithin The new MGS Remake isn't on the Xbox store, the game isn't released yet, so if it's a PS exclusive they haven't taken any game off Xbox. The original MGS3 is not the remake, that's a completely different game.

You're not even making sense now.

@alienwithin all your life you say lmao. Man I can't take your response seriously, you sound like your trying to figure out why your voice is changing. So go on believing what you like.

Lol all your life. Man that's rich.

@LifeGirl Exactly like a Silent Hill game with no Team Silent involvement.
