Sony America bigwig Jack Tretton has confirmed to Geoff Keighley that Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Rising will indeed be coming to the PlayStation 3.

Rising was announced during Microsoft’s E3 press conference on Monday, though it remained ambiguous as to whether or not the game would arrive on Sony’s platform in addition to Xbox 360.

However, posting on his Twitter page, Keighley said that Tretton confirmed to him that the game would indeed be coming to Sony’s black box at some point: “Spoke to Tretton - he confirmed Metal Gear Rising is absolutely coming to PS3 alongside Xbox 360.”

As if that wasn’t enough, Sony fans also have the newly unveiled Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP to look forward to as well. Good times.

     will kojima be doing anything other then critiquing this? he's supposedly working flat out on the psp version, or so i read. if this isn't his work i'll wait for reveiws. also the mgs4's core team aint working on this either they are also doing the psp version, i dunno im skeptical

    You know, I'm glad the XBox only crowd gets a piece of this.  They really wnated a metal Gear game, clearly.  Now they have one to play with us.

     

    See, we PS3 players aren't all meanieheads.

    Doesn't make up for it being multiplatform. Playstation 3 sales could've gone up.

    This game will be cutting edge, common, its Kojima, expect the best. It might be shorter, but really who cares. He deserved game of the year last year, I guess 2010 will be Kojima's year.

     great news that mgs rising is coming to ps3. i dont understand why they didnt say anything about it at sony's conference. if i were trying to get people to be really interesting in ps3 and buy one, i would tell them about every hit game, rather than twitter the news later.

     the only problem i see to come from this... game mechanics might be simplified and shorter game (around 6-10hrs tops) you heard it hear first. LOL, it probably wont have Kojima's ideal amount of cut scenes (which in my opinion is a nice break from the game as well as adds to the awesome story).

    From what some reports are saying, Kojima won't have a direct influence in Rising, although he might be overlooking the project. He said he is directly involved in Peace Walker, though, during the conference.

    I just don't want a gimped out Metal Gear game!!!  Hmmmmm....9 gigs or 50 gigs?  That's a no brainer.

    I was watching G4 coverage and they were running highlights. They were so hyped that the 360 was finally getting a MG game that they kept slipping mulitple times and calling it MGS4. This is not a MGS game. This is a spinoff from what I can tell so far. Never the less I will still pick it up.

    thank you! i was getting worried.  i don't want to have to pay for online just to play MGS.     we playstation fans should start calling it MGR, because it's not MGS.  solid snake is no where to be found and it's not tactical espionage.    why couldn't kojima say "it's finally going multiplat to the 360.  atleast then we would kno, it's still on our ps3s.    that made me really angry with him,  i mean thinking that xbox was getting MGR  exclusivly  on there console.    i felt i was betrayed and everything else.  but yesterday i decided it was just a RTaiden game they were getting. not solid snake!

    either way i dont really care, im not a fan of raiden, never have been, never will be, so it could have stayed in 360 for all i care

  21. markwesker

    • 10:54am EDT - June 3rd, 2009

    This is just a spin off from mgs for the xbots,haha and it aint even exclsuive,ps3 is getting it aswell and no doubt will have the most sales.

    @ restored_lost

    Well, don't forget he's the guy who brought ZoE and ZoE2. And ZoE is fast paced INTENSE action.

    And in my mind, Rising is going to be a much smaller game... since it is planned on the 360 and it will be nerfed to like 9gigs. But it can still be good I guess. I'll wait and see for upcoming gameplay.

     quick question, why is raiden eye brown, rather than the siver-ish eyes he has always had?

  24. bigivy5

    • 1:21pm EDT - June 3rd, 2009

    i don't get why people hate raiden so much. just because he was the star of one game and snake wasn't? i think that he was an interesting character with his own background. i actually prefer raiden because his past is more realistic and beievable. he isn't a clone, but he grew up in war. solid snake is just a broody guy with daddy issues.

    Good news , but who is making this game ?????????

    • 4:18pm EDT - June 3rd, 2009

    I could care less that this is going to the 360. As long as the game is good and I get to play I could care less. I just don't have the fanboyism in me. I'm only loyal to my own opinions not companies,

    i smell something smell's like death its an import

     This game will not be as epic as MGS4 or any of the other MGS (Kojima is possibly only overlooking this as his focus is on PSP atm).  I still believe it will be good.  Will it be as technically advanced as MGS4?  No its multiplat.

  34. BigBoss11

    • 12:21am EDT - June 4th, 2009

    im still not happy, not saying it wont be a good game or anything but they could of done alot more on ps3. Its already been said 360 cant run mgs4, so wtf are they think of putting it on 360. They choose to have higher sales than make the best game.

  35. J1gs4w

    • 5:14am EDT - June 4th, 2009

    So we get a dumbed down MGS game thanks to the DVD limitations, thanks Xbox! ,,|,

     wicked :D am happy now have had xbox fans taunting me and tellingme to buy one, but i am sony till i die :D

    Thing is the Brand X guys just wanted it because We have it. It's not going to be as exciting to them now that it's confirmed multiplatform. But ultimately I think it's just that kojima wants to test his newer team members to see who shines and might be strong enough to handle a second game so that HE doesnt have to do everything. Plus it keeps people from hating him directly just because there's a MGS game on Brand X.

  38. Aramil_Caelan

    • 8:44pm EDT - June 4th, 2009

    ok, didn't Kojima say MGS would always be PS exclusive?

    and does any1 else think this series is being milked a bit 2 much?

  39. sidewalkmailbox

    • 6:59am EDT - June 5th, 2009

    this seems weird. mgs is a ps3 game. why would they announce for 360 first.

  40. Grim_Dicer

    • 11:52am EDT - June 5th, 2009

    YOU are all fools for thinking that MGS wasn't coming to the 360. The 360 is just as powerful. Fan boy idiots... 'Oh the 360 can't handle MGS too weak blah blah' and what happened??? The MAN himself Hideo annoced that MGS Rising WILL be coming to the 360. Exclusive or not we're in for some MGS action. So please if you PS3 boys have nothing good to say don't say anything at all. And before you say anything about FF14 ... yes we'll be getting that too ^^
