I-n-j-i-n Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Meh. The iPod as it stands now, is vastly inferior to the PSP or even the DS in some ways. I'm supposed to get excited over inferior versions of Crash, Katamari and Konami games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I trust Konami to make good games, no matter what system they're on. The PS1 is vastly inferior to its successors but does that make MGS1 any less of a good game? I know you probably meant that they could do better in terms of what's available, but my point is that they can work with touch screens and still make a good game. (and yay I have a touch to play these on!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 god damn it what a waste of some potentially good titles... >:L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenPi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I knew it was gonna be iPhone!! Pwned (all those people wanting mgs4 on 360... I still personally dont think its gonna happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I knew it was gonna be iPhone!! Pwned (all those people wanting mgs4 on 360... I still personally dont think its gonna happen) I just thought it would be on 360 because all of the hints seemed to indicate the 360 and nothing for the iPhone/iPod Touch...I have all 3 current gen consoles so it doesn't matter to me. I'm going to have to give this a big meh though. Why would I want to use my iPod Touch to play games? I bought it to listen to music. In addition, I have to pay $10 just for the firmware upgrade to play that. No thanks, what a stupid move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenPi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 yeah. My assumption was ! = MGS i = the i used in the name of like every apple thing these days and then the power button reminded me the most of apple therefore MGS + iPhone = MGS on iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 yeah.

Bigfoot Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 god damn it what a waste of some potentially good titles... >:L Exactly. Silent Hill looks like a shooting gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 *makes confused barking sound* My thoughts exactly. I never recalled seeing an upside down i for Apple marketing, and look at their stuff fairly regularly...also the 360 connections are more blatant. Konami marketing failed big time.

Native Jovian Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 yeah. My assumption was! = MGS i = the i used in the name of like every apple thing these days and then the power button reminded me the most of apple therefore MGS + iPhone = MGS on iPhone Congratulations on your 20/20 hindsight, sir.

I never recalled seeing an upside down i for Apple marketing, and look at their stuff fairly regularly...also the 360 connections are more blatant. Konami marketing failed big time. who said anything about an upside down i? I said the first ! = MGS as in, an exclamation mark, not an upside down i. the upside down exclamation mark could be perceived as a i. [edit: oops sorry, the first symbol WAS the i, and the 2nd was the exclamaiton point, same thing) Congratulations on your 20/20 hindsight, sir. not really, I dont remember if I said it in the other thread, but that was my assumption from the start.

Schwaltzvald Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I just hope these iphone games are just a hint of konami's creators needing some money padding to help jump start actual titles for the consoles/PCs... While the thought bothers me I'd rather not see more potentially good titles go to waste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Roboto Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What a waste. It simply won't do well outside of places like Japan, where Cellphones games are all the rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and yay I have a touch to play these on!) The issue here is that the iPhone IS the successor to the PSP and the DS and came out way later, and still sucks as a gaming device; it just isn't what its made for.

Darklink42 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 You'd think they'd have learned from the N-gage. It's also damn limiting to those of us that didn't run out to buy the new ipod (like myself). I like the one I have now just fine, so I guess this news doesn't affect me either way. Still, kind of a bummer. I'd have liked to play a new MGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulinEther Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Lots of people have iPod touches and iPhones... so this isn't a bad move at all. BUT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN IPOD TOUCH IF ONLY THERE WERE MOAR CASSILVAYNEEA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 METAL GEAR SOLID TOUCH is an original game that brings to life the world and characters of MTAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (MGS4). MTAL GEAR SOLID 4 Christ... epic fale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wow they look shit, also...why would you want to play as Old Snake again. Seriously why would you want to be old man snake for a second time, old snake is worse than Raiden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
