Medal of Honor Xbox 360 to Sony PS3 Rumours

[Nerve-Damage]

It was first thought that Medal of Honor was going to be a Sony PlayStation 3 title, but now other rumours have surfaced, stating that Medal of Honor might become a Xbox 360 title. (http://www.gameshout.com/news/122005/article2020.htm)


The first thing we want to say is, rumours and speculations are running wild in the video game community about the Medal of Honor game title. The first round of rumours started when Medal of Honor was thought to be a Sony PlayStation 3 title.

In fact, some game retailers have listed it as a Sony PS3 game title.

Well now, new retail reports suggest that the unannounced Medal of Honor game might be heading to the Microsoft Xbox 360.

Sound confusing? Oh, it gets better. Adding further fuel to the fire, American retail reports nabbed by publication Gamers Reports are listing the title, which has yet to be officially announced, for release on Xbox 360 in November 2006.

It was initially thought that the title would be a Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive, but it seems that EA's running habit of multi-platform releases is to continue with the series.

Considering Medal of Honor's history as a multi-platform franchise, we're not surprised that it's now tipped for release on two next-gen consoles. All we have to do now is wait for the game to actually be confirmed by Electronic Arts itself.

[Illmatic]

It was a given that it was going to be a multi platform game, it was just a matter of when the X360 version would surface, we know the PS3 version is targeting launch. But i guess now it's official.

[Z]

this is expected. my question is how many games are EA making specific builds for PS3? Fight Night 3 is one. will they continue with this?

[CrumCon]

They will continue with this Z, cause they dont have the engine specific for PS3. their engines/tool chain middleware is a multi-platform tool.

unlike engines like lets say Killzone, MGS4.. they build their engines specific for ps3 hardware

[Illmatic]

I'd say the PS3 is the base platform for this game though, since it has been the only version officially announced for a while, plus devs there have talked about some of the things they're doing with the PS3 hardware while developing the game. Also it's supposed to be a launch title, so assuming the PS3 version hasn't been pushed back, the X360 version comes out in November, which might be due to it being ported?

[nemesis121]

Just gotta say one thing, who cares about Medal of Honor? sheesh the game sucks it hasn't been great since the second one.

[Red_Eyes]

The only war fps game I am looking forward to is Brothers In Arms for PS3.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Am I the only one that's phed up with all the world war 2 games? It's it's own sub-genre of fps there's so many of them. Medal of Honor started it and those should have been it. But noooo everyone and his granddaddy had to jump on and pose off of MoH. Seriously WW2 games have been around longer than the war even went on! They need to stop this I'm to the point of screaming incoherently and crying in the corner, pounding my fists. I've just stopped playing the damn things.

It's not even a 'war' anymore it's just a 'story of a war' we've grown so out of touch and pantomimed it so goddamn much. Friggin ridiculous. Down with WW2 fps games!:swear: :swear:

[venomv]

I like Metal of Honor, but there have been way to many other WWII games.

[casualkiss]

I think there have been way to many of every type of game! :)

Innovation is for hippies and soccer moms, long live FPS's!!

This I disagree with.
You get a resounding 'no' to that post.
The reason being, yeah there's a lot of adventure games, action platformer games, fighting games, etc - but they're not ALL taking place in the same damn universe, with the same heros, enemies, victories and defeats. WW2 is real. So the story can only be told so many times before we all have to at some point say, "Okay, I get it, stop it!". If someone tries to make me shoot another damn m1-garrand rifle I'm gonna carpet bomb their friggin headquarters.:fuckedup:

It's ridiculous. Nothing against fps games, because they are fun, I like any game really- but c'mon the ww2 well has been tapped dry. They're beating a dead horse. It's so retarded. I scorn nazis as much as the next guy but jesus christ they need to stop making a million and one games about that shit.:tardbang: :tardbang:

That's 3 console generations of the same damn story! MoH on psone started it all (and that was good game, I had it). It's gone on all through this past generation, and now you're telling me they're making MORE for ps3 and xbox1.5?!!! Goddamnit! It's not even about WW2 anymore! The war itself is just an excuse to make a game! Gaahh!!!!!111one!!! Let's keep simulating this war until it's as close to the real thing as possible! And then, let's do it again! It's rehash after rehash after rehash. You know it, I know it, the game publishers know it. :swear: :swear:

It needs to stop. No more world war 2 games! Jeez there's like 10 other american wars to exploit why not any of those? Okay, I'm done. For now.:realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad

Hate to break it to you, but this is EA. The difference is going to be very small. Expecting them to push the console or release exclusively for one of them is a big no no.

I don't know about that. I was kinda wishing for some strategy games to come out for the PS2, maybe even a few online beat 'em ups, but I was kinda left dry in the wind on that one. On the other hand, I got plethora of FPS this generation.

I would whole heartedly agree with you, except there is this little WW2 game called Call of Duty.

If you really think about it, most of the WW2 fps games have been Medal of Honor games, and there aren't that many truly (if you don't include mods). I'd say the sci-fi fps genre has been flooded to hell and back.

If the game in that genre is good then I don't mind. I think people seem to separate gameplay and innovation entirely. If you like a game that takes roots from another game you just played, then that game has to be doing something interesting and new to keep you playing.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt (the only good one in my opinion), Call of Duty 1 & 2, Battlefield 1942, and Brother's in Arms are all fantastic WW2 first-person shooters.

I think the WW2 genre as a whole has been flooded more so than just the FPS genre (I can name over 10 horrible WW2 RTS games).

I don't know about that. I was kinda wishing for some strategy games to come out for the PS2, maybe even a few online beat 'em ups, but I was kinda left dry in the wind on that one. On the other hand, I got plethora of FPS this generation.

Well here's a promising WW2 RTS (well what do you know)!

Company of Heroes (looks like it will kill most PC's though)

WW2 games have been done alot. But Call of Duty 2 is a very enjoyable game. What they haven't done yet much with WW2 is focus on the asian part of the war. Most games only focus on the european part. I guess next is vietnam games or gulf war games.

That looks good - comparable to a few next-gen titles! I would sure like to try that one out. The gameplay seems awesome.

[Saibo]

Ditto, this is one game i wont be missing. Did i tell you guys im getting pickier with my money?:P

LOL, man i gotta say i actually enjoy that rant. I somewhat agree with you, WW2 is doing overdone by everyone an their momma. And it gets boring very very quick(nothing really new in terms of innovation and gameplay really). Its not just wargames though, im seeing this in every genre, everything that has been done when it comes to gameplay.

So whats the solution?

WW2 games have been done alot. But Call of Duty 2 is a very enjoyable game. What they haven't done yet much with WW2 is focus on the asian part of the war. Most games only focus on the european part. I guess next is vietnam games or gulf war games.


BattleField: Vietnam which i have on the PC..but the gameplay leaves alot to be desired IMO, i havent played it since. I totally agree, as far as WW2 game goes, they need to focus on asia some more. There also the Korean war, havent seen to many korean war game.

The worse thing about FPS is motion sickness. i got it from COD, BF:V,KillZone.. yet i didnt get it in DOD..odd? i got motion sickness from Mario64( believe it or not).

I'll never buy a game made by DICE ever again :P

[CrumCon]

I agree WWII has been done way too many time.

Maybe they could start on making games about middle east conflict?like Iraq for example. the game could sell well cause its always hot news everytime on V.

Not to mention the game could look pretty good, especially it would take place in a desert country. Like MGS4 for example, the flowing dust in the city looks marvelous.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

No no, I know Call of Duty is really excellent of a game [series], and if it weren't soooo good it'd be anotherof the unforgivable WWII exploitations. The fact of the matter is though. that is just a good game period, and world war 2 is the excuse. You could have put it in any setting with some interesting original plotline, futuristic, fantasy, or whathaveyou (originality does not mean you must invent something never seen before btw, there is a difference.) My problem is WWII isn't the game anymore, it's the excuse to produce games. I'm tired of it. Yeah you can say, 'oh everything has been over done. Well, you can't really blame 'genres' for being over done, that's just a genre. But you don't see 10 different publishers putting out games in the mario universe against a mushroom kingdom backdrop (licensing isn't my point here, stay with me). Sure you put out a ton of 'platforming games' or 'adventure games' or fighting games, etcetera, but they aren't all telling the same damn story.

[Nameless]

La, you have a point my friend, but I will take it a step further FPS in general is becoming somewhat stale in my opinion. I would like to see developers create more games allowing gamers to select 3rd or 1st person perspective.
I don't believe this is an unreasonable request, if done correctly the modes do not need to be compromised. That's my 2 cents...

[Z]

Hate to break it to you, but this is EA. The difference is going to be very small. Expecting them to push the console or release exclusively for one of them is a big no no.
that is what we all believe, yet there are something that happened with Fight Night. EA is making a specific PS3 build of the game. I don't know why would they do that, maby they want Sony to like them and get better licens deals on PS3. also, PS3 is the only next-gen format that was announced fo the game. I believe that was a while back. that is another odd thing.
in any case, this is no biggy, just another thing to think about.

stop buying them.
if they don't sell, they won't make them. I wish the mosyt that pathetic movie games will end. seriously now, who buys them?! why are the selling and causing them to make more trash?!
Just gotta say one thing, who cares about Medal of Honor? sheesh the game sucks it hasn't been great since the second one.
this is much bigger than what you and me like or don't like. we are talking about a major franchise coming on PS3. the series is very successful and sells well. same goes for all the poor movie games.
personally, I liked MoH up to the second PS2 game (Rising Sun was it?) that is when I got the feeling 'been there done that'. so I just left all WW2 games. CoD games look good, but I don't like outdated rifels and old tanks anymore. to add to that, I don't like flash light shooters too (sci-fi). that is why I am not a fan of Star Wars, believe it or not. lol
give me moder urban combat anyday! Killzone all the way baby!
oh yae, I got Battlefield: Moder Combat. good game. not the prittiest, but I like the soldier shifting concept. cool as hell!

I agree with LaLi that we are tired of a particular focus, but the simple thing to do is don't buy them. obviously many more enjoy it, so why not make them? some say we should put an end to them, but who are we to chose what to allow or say what goes and what doesn't? like with nearly everything else in life, if you don't fancy it, ignore it. live and let live, and all that jazz.

Down with WWII games.

[axia777]

Yah, screw WWII games. Screw boring ass modern war games period. They need more SCi-Fi sytle FPS. And not rip off's of the UnReal series either. I-8 by Insomniac looks to be kool. It is WWII, but with a SCI-Fi/Fanatsy twist and an alternate reality thing thrown in. WWII with monsters and stuff. Big ass scary monsters. Very original. Bring it Insomniac, bring it.

Now that you mention that, maybe they are trying to get on Sony's good side. :shrug: I don't know whether I should take that as the first or not since they did jump aboard every PlayStation platform rather quickly than most. I guess we'll see.

[GTShotoKen]

How about a shooter based on the Korean War?

Now that would be something new. http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/028.gif

*must change ID...again*
:susp:

Well now it is confirmed for the 360 aswell and they showed video footage of it on G4.
yeah, the X2 version has been confirmed foe a while. still, the PS3 version is specifically built for PS3. I am sure not many EA titles will get this treatment, but if it happened with FN3, it may happen with a nother big title like MoH.
in any case, this gen PS3 will either have the same quality of X2 games or better. so it's all good either way.

[CrumCon]

Like i said before game about Iraq war should be very interesting, imagine Urban warfare in Bagdad.. dust flowing all over the place like what happened in MGS4 demo.. damn it should looks pretty good.

[tazz3]

as long as medal of honor is out for the Sony PlayStation 3 frist.
that is what matters.then 360 owners can waite a few months.
there will be a lot of games going to both consoles next gen.
because the devs will make more money from it.
but deep down i really would have loved for medal of honor to be exclusive.

[Saibo]

This only applies to War games in my opinion. I dont think most people are buying every war game that comes out for their favorite platform, i think the reason war games still sell well today is because with every coming generation people want to experience WW1,WW2, Vietnam, Korea,etc. Hence, the sells and popularity of the genre. Ok, maybe it applies to Mario games also ;) I stop buying that since Mario 64, and they still make the damn thing!!!

Personally i have 3 war games on my computer. I dont buy war games for the single player aspect, but the Multi player online challenge and for that i just play Day of Defeat Source..since COD gives me motion sickness. But i'll probably wont buy another war game on the PS3(except maybe for I-8).

I would love to see a war game about Iraq, urban warfare for the PS3. And oddly enough, i do want to create a traditional war game someday. Like Kojima, i want to truely understand the subject, so lots of reseach and airsoft battle :)

My point is, having one asian dude in california stop buying war games isnt going to end the war genre(even if everyone stops buying it this generation), theres always the next generation and the one after that,etc.

[Z]

there are a few urban war games. there are Gulf war games (yes, you play in Iraq). there are also the Somalia war (Black Hawk Down). Vietnam had a few games as well.

in any case, I'll pick an M16 over a 40's stick sorry excuse for a rifle any day. but that's just me.

[Saibo]

in any case, I'll pick an M16 over a 40's stick sorry excuse for a rifle any day. but that's just me.

M16 were awful, they jam often in Vietnam. I'll take a M14 with a bipod anyday over the poor excuse of a rifle(M16) :P Heck, i'll take a M1 garand over the M16, or even a carbine.

[Sephiroth_VII]

I prefer the AK-47.
It looks so cool!!
