Is this what Konami was gonna surprise us with at E3? Because if it is, then According to those articles, Metal Gear Solid 3 will not only be on Gamecube, but it will be EXCLUSIVE to Gamecube. Discuss, my fellow peasants...

what WHAT WHAT ! ? ! ?

How did they pull that off?  I bet it IS MGS4 and after part3 the game series will be dated.  Yes I am a pessimistic fatalist

Well the first link has a scan of the article that was in the OFFICIAL NINTENDO FRANCE MAGAZINE so i think that is pretty darn credible.. but im not 100% sure of it until i see something about it on PGC or IGN.

This is cool, i'll be even more happier when i see this on IGN or confirmed by Konami/Nintendo!
Maybe MGS3 was substance or something...dunno...

I am right positive that it's a crock, but if it isn't... well...  I think it would be the right time to gloat.

Is GamerFeed reliable source?
I can't really say abything about the first link, since I can't understand one symbol.

But where is the Nintendo of Frace article?

this is really wierd
but it one way it does make sense in the theoretical way
it might just be MGS4 if MGS3 has already been announced for PS2
MGS3 also might go multi plattform, this time also for GCN

I just played through MGS2 in a single sitting and if MGS3 or 4 is like that, then sony can keep em. If its like MGS1 or is an entirley new Metal Gear series then I'd be all for it.

I seriously doubt this.   This is a 180 degree change from Konami's past support.  I'm not one of the whiners who hates them for not supporting the GCN, but I really can't picture this.  Would be nice to eat those words though.

Kojima said he was gonna make a 100% sure PS2 version.
So exclusive is bull. And Kojima is a guy that wants great hardware to his disposal.
SOhe wouldfirst make anXbox MGS3 than on NGC.
But they have been working/thinking/ on a NGCMSG game.

here i come to save the day

linkie

but whats weird is that they say it's MGS4, not MGS3. is it a typo, or is there something we dont know?
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?

Here is a rough translation, from your master, me!

"During an interview with the French press, Miyamoto had announced that Nintendo currently worked with Kojima and that Metal Gear Solid on GameCube would benefit from interconnection GC/GBA.
Today, the official magazine French Nintendo, number 11 of April, written in its pages "current events":



Shigeru Miyamoto (...), we met it in Paris, where it revealed us some confidences which we divide with you throughout this page. Let us start with "excluded which kills": Metal Gear Solid 4 will be on Gamecube and nowhere elsewhere ! But it will undoubtedly be necessary to have patience of very long months before seeing the color of it...


Then, error on behalf of the magazine which believed to include/understand in this advertisement of a MGS on Gamecube, a opus exclusive number 4 OR true exclusiveness in the next title of Kojima for the console of Nintendo? And isn't it astonishing of speaking already about MGS 4 whereas nothing of the 3 yet are known? With less than the magazine made an animal careless mistake, and than it is well MGS3 excluded Gamecube?

We will keep you informed when we are more. To thus confirm!...

It could just be a typo, and they mean MGS 3.

It could also be a clever move by Konami, and actually be MGS 4. Think of it this way, it's like how we had Star Wars, Episodes 4-6 first, and THEN we doubled back later on for Episodes 1-3. They basically make MGS 4 almost autonamous to the plot (with maybe some vague references to MGS 3 they already have plotted out), and at the same time or later they can do a PS2-specific direct sequel to MGS 2. Since you could argue (although just barely) that Nintendo-specific gamers might not have had exposure to the MGS plotline and certainly not MGS 2, it makes sense to start fresh with them, MGS 4 could be the start of a new trilogy while MGS 3 finishes up the last one.

N-Gamer is also reporting this little tidbit of information.  I find them to be more reliable than the above sites, although, not much more so.

Check it out:
N-Gamer Report of MGS Exclusive

Who knows?  Maybe this rumor might come to fruition.

Post by: John Squire on March 23, 2003, 09:43:32 AM
Hmm, I'm very doubtful of this.  I'll believe it when I see it.
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on March 23, 2003, 10:10:13 AM
All websites use the same source, so nothing really makes it more credible than an official statement or some IGN or PGC confirmation.

People shouldnt always believe that things written on paper are always more likely to be right than things written across a screen.

If MGS 3 or 4 is exclusive for the GameCube, what the hell happened to Konami why now they love Nintendo? somebody can please tell me what's going on. the first game from them was the disney games and now Metal Gear, a mature game for a console that is childish (Konami Think that, not me) and only exclusive for the Cube?? i'm in the twilight zone    
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: Cap on March 23, 2003, 10:26:54 AM
personaly, i dont think this is that far fetched. i'll still hold out for an official statement, but its possible. with konami's view of the cube, nintendo probably had to pay to get metal gear in any form on gamecube, why not go the step further and pay to make it exclusive? nintendo seems to be getting serious about the gamecube lately, and this would be one way to prove it. either way, its already been confirmed that metal gear is coming in one way or another, so i'm happy.

So what are the chances this is an april fool's joke?  
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: dmcollin on March 23, 2003, 12:06:57 PM
um, i am sure nintendo had to pay konami a lot of money to put any form of mgs on the cube (i amsure ms had to pay to get mgs2s for the box), but to get an exclusive you are going to have to pay konami a boat load of money because no matter what it won't sell nearly as many copies as a ps2 version.  Plus i am sure there are die hard mg fans who won't want to put up extra money to buy a gc for the next mgs game.
But i think that mgs 1, 2, & 3 are very possible for the cube especially if they use the same engine.

Post by: Ian Sane on March 24, 2003, 06:12:55 AM
It's a fact that Miyamoto revealed that a MGS game was in the works for Gamecube.  It's entirely possible that this magazine is merely interpreting that to mean MGS4.  MGS3 is already a PS2 game in the works so, using some very weak logic, the Gamecube game has to be something different and thus MGS4.  My theory is that this is the same MGS game that was confirmed a few weeks ago and it is still unconfirmed exactly what it is.  If it's a new game it could very well be a sidequest game like how RE: Code Veronica isn't RE4.

Something that would be really interesting is if Konami released MGS3 & 4 at the same time on two different consoles (PS2 and GC).
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on March 24, 2003, 06:48:11 AM
Well Ian while that theory could make sense the article itself somewhat outrules that possibility.
The article itself backs up on more than an assumption of it being MGS4 just because its exclusive to GCN which MGS3 isnt.
I hope you understand what I mean.

One question, if metal gear solid 4 is exclusigve for the gamecube, will metal gear solid 3 be on the gamecube?
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: Da Volpster on March 24, 2003, 11:50:07 AM
Even though it would be pretty sweet that MGS3 would be exclusive to the cube but i wouldent count on it.  
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: PIAC on March 24, 2003, 02:03:35 PM
could come as a pre order bonus disc
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 24, 2003, 02:31:09 PM
It was probably a typo, so the article must have meant MGS3. I mean, MGS3 has hardly been unveiled, and there's already talk of MGS4? Come on people.
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: MickeyD on March 24, 2003, 03:24:36 PM
I'm not so sure yet if its mgs 3 or even mgs 4 which is supposedly a typo. It could possibly be a exclusive mgs that breaks for the regular line like a prequel or a mgs game with some sub-title kind of like Resident Evil:Code veronica which ever the case I'm just glad we are even getting a mgs but if its exclusive and orignal and co-developed my miyamoto and Kojima it would be extar sweet.

Post by: MickeyD on March 24, 2003, 03:28:40 PM
If its an new original exclusive title they must have given Konami so serious dough to get them to pull a 180. I must say lately that nintendo has been more aggressive trying to get third party support especially after some developers have been trying to ditch them. I think is cause Iwata-san is changing everything for the better if Yamuguchi was still here this wouldn't be happening.

Post by: SilverBack1138 on March 24, 2003, 05:07:51 PM
Guys, from other sources that I've read in the past MGS 3 is actually going like Splinter Cell.  MS paid enough money for Konami to have time exclusive rights to the game which is still undetermined.  From rumors I've heard the GCN MGS is suppose to be a totally new game.  I can't wait.  Hopefully it does well enough that Konami will give better support to Nintendo so that we'll see more of their franchises on a Nintendo system.  A new Castlevania or Contra maybe.

Maybe someone meant that it's 4 Metal Gear games coming exclusively to the Cube.

(Meaning remakes of Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid 2.)
Title: Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?
Post by: PIAC on March 24, 2003, 07:03:34 PM

Yes, ALL of them, but that still makes some of them unexclusive because they were on other systems before.
