MGS Rising Levels 3rd-Party Playing Field, Says Microsoft
Now that Metal Gear Solid is making its way to the Xbox 360 with Rising, the "third-party athletic field" has been leveled and definitions of what an "exclusive" is have denaturized, says Microsoft's Shane Kim.
Microsoft didn't score an exclusive with the upcoming Bimetallic Gear Solid-state Rising, but the simple fact that the MGS franchise, which didn't semen to the 360 for MGS4, is now on a Microsoft system changes everything, thinks Microsoft VP Shane Kim.
"I still recollect selective content is really portentous," Kim told Gamasutra. "Firstly, in games, we've same for a long time that a key region of our strategy with Xbox 360 was a level third base-party playing field. Now we've effectively done that with Metal Gear Solid coming to the Xbox 360."
Kim remarked that since the 360 is the "second leading platform," third parties like Konami can't afford to ignore IT, economically speaking. That's become a truism for some time now, with Gold Gear Jelled 4 being a extraordinary exception to the rule that most third party games are multiplatform. First-party exclusives now stand in for the Ultimate Fancy VIIs and Soul Calibur 1s of yesteryea, but the very definition of what "sole" way should shift too, Kim said.
"Merely I also think over we hold to broaden our definition of alone content at present," he said. That means exclusive DLC like Microsoft's Grand Thieving Auto Quadruplet episodes, only too "things like Xbox Live, because I do think Xbox Live in is a real competitive discriminator for us."
And since relying on third parties International Relations and Security Network't "sustainable," as Kim says, offering things like Project Natal are the new ways of creating exclusive contentedness. "It's up to each of us to severalize on our own," Kim said. Is something like Natal actually "differentiating," is the age of the exclusive game really concluded, and is "discriminator" a word? I'd say maybe to the early, yes to second and uhhhh to the third gear, but what dress you guys think?
