[Cease and Desist] is coming to the Xbox 360! [Updated for Internet Matlockery] photo

I have been waiting for many months to finally say this, and today is the day. [Cease and Desist] will not be a [Rhymes with "Bony"] exclusive. It has been confirmed that it will make its way to the [Another console] in 2008.

There is no true date set for the release at this point, but November of 2008 has been mentioned. This is not set in stone as [Who knew legal departments worked on holidays, and that a game with no embargo, could make them work so fast

If one were really smart they could search around and find contracts that bind, lets say, a game developer and publisher, to another company that makes consoles. If you were lucky, you might notice that the contract had a clearly stated term of exclusivity. If I were a betting man, I would guess that term to be more than 364 days and less than 367. (Precaution for Leap year) I am just guessing this of course. I assume that companies make contracts like this and they have to become public record when financial transactions are involved. Call me crazy, but I would bet that you could find out things by checking this.

I also need to state that the phone conversation I had discussing, let's say, Petal Rear Squalid Door apparently didn't actually happen. I thought that it did but other people seem to be telling me different.

[Editor's note: The opinions expressed about [another company] and the [Console they make] belong to Ron Workman and Ron Workman only. He's a loose cannon and a PR nightmare.]

Dear Internet Matlocks,

You cracked the case; good work. I understand that going to every [Logging] industry event, [----edited----], speaking to someone at [insert company here] and knowing this has been in the works for months, could not possibly make me as qualified as the forum post you made from your

A. Dorm room

B. Mom's basement

C. Cell block

2
We all know that [another company] would never give up an exclusive. I mean what's next? [insert 3 games that were lost and we were lied to about] Nooo waaay! They would never lose an exclusive. Every [3 letters] game was a [another company] exclusive at one point. I can't imagine them coming out with [3 letters] on another console. I mean ... they have never done that have they?

Next time I am with [Peter Parker], [Madonna], or [Phil Collins] in person, I will be sure to remind them to approve things through you, Internet Matlocks, before they make any decisions.

2 things:

#1 The "Snake Tales" was a joke BTW.

#2 I decided to be nice and respectfully make changes to this post. I did refuse to pull it completely because our community is more important to me. Hypothetically, this would be my first lawsuit of 2007. I was hoping to make it a full year but it looks bleak. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hugs and Kisses,

Greybush™

HAL Laboratories just said SSBB was going to be released on the PS3 and the 360, too. HAL himself called me up just last night.

"Yeah people. Like this hasn't happened on every single other version on MGS. Its not a big surprise at all. The announcement hasn't been officially made yet, but the source works for Konami, and I know for a fact that MS has been negotiating this for months.
Eat me internet!"

Yeah...

Meh. They'll bring it out on PS, then bring a new improved version out on both consoles a few months later to make the extra pesos out of all of us, just like with 2 and 3. Who didn't see this coming?

Some of this content is VR missions, as well as "Snake Tales" or "Snake in the Valley" (depending on where you live),

"Like this hasn't happened on every single other version on MGS. Its not a big surprise at all."

Only one Konami made MGS game has ended up on another console, and that was MGS2 for the X-Box. Other than that and the remake of MGS (but that was made by Silicone Knights, not Konami), its pretty much been a Sony-centric franchise.

As a faithful listener to the Podtoid, Ron does seem to have some serious connections. Every freaking podcast we hear him mumble about waiting for 10 NDAs to lift so that he can talk. Oh and whoever said something about a Wii version being impossible, I don't think they're doing a conversion of 4. Rather, another extension of the universe ala Portable Ops or Acid. Still...I'd like to see Snake Eater reach 360... The PS2 controller pisses me off to much for me to want to finish it.

Yep, I can see us all waiting a year for it. Really. Those of us who do will say something like, "Wow, this game rocks!" to which others will respond, "Yeah, I remember that game. I hear it's a Greatest Hits title now."

You remember when Halo came out on PC and everyone bought it up, causing the Xbox to fail? Yeah, neither do I.

ComradeRobbins: Actually, Konami did work on it. It was a three-way co-production between them, Silicone Knight, and Nintendo.

In other news: Woohoo! Seriously, exclusives are over. Consoles are going to have to compete in other ways from now on.

MGS 1 came out for PC as well as PS1 and Gamecube

MGS2 came out on PC as well as PS2 and Xbox

that means only MGS3 and MGS:PO were sony exclusives.

Well that's it for me, no PS3 probably. MGS4 was the first and last PS3 exclusive that I HAD to have. I don`t play Final Fantasy (which`ll end up in Redmond eventually anyway) and the now Xbox`d Devil May Cry is a good enough series, but not a system seller.

So the 360, in the next year, has:

Metal Gear Solid 4
Halo 3
Gears of War
Lost Planet
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Blue Dragon
Assassin`s Creed
Grand Theft Auto IV
Crackdown
Splinter Cell 5
Lost Odyssey
Halo Wars
Forza Motorsport 2
Virtua Fighter 5
Tekken (probably)
Ace Combat 6
Some Final Fantasy game
Oblivion
Guitar Hero
Shadowrun
Quake Wars
Unreal Tournament III
Wolfenstein
Half-Life 2 mega bundle

I`m sure I`m missing some big titles, but all of those are presumably top notch games.

I`m running out right now and buying a PS3 for $753 Canadian (before owning a single game) because I really feel that folding at home is a hell of a lot more important than playing games...

Sony has really lost focus on gaming. I couldn`t give a shit about Heavenly Bored and LittleBigplanet. No I am not an MS viral marketer. Yes I play Xbox 360 on Live every night. No I don`t think Sony has anything up their sleeve (Home, lol). Yes, I think Microsoft will at least take North America, Although they may win this generation of hardware sales, Nintendo isn`t even competing due to being an impulse purchase at their price point, and ultimately a secondary console.

Good news about Metal Gear anyhow, been waiting for this confirmation forever.

I'd buy a 360 for:
(not in any order)
Metal Gear Solid 4
Gears of War
Bioshock
Blue Dragon
Assassin`s Creed
Grand Theft Auto IV
Splinter Cell 5
Halo 3 (maybe)

@Cryocide, I agree.

As long as I get it for my PS3 I'm a happy toad.

More sales means more money which might bring on another mgs style game as isn't this supposed to be the last mgs? I'd rather have more mgs than a last mgs......

Electro man, what the hell is a 'blastoise'?

Aww what's the matter, did I hurt your little feelings?

Face it, you're stuck with your crappy Halo and you're never getting our precious MGS4.

You just have to rely on fags to write these articles and get you temporarily excited! That's the closest thing to experiencing MGS4 you'll ever have!

Sweet, and not surprising (but certainly gratifying).

I don't think this is the death-knell for the PS3 or anything, but it does kind of suck for Sony.

(And why can't we get those awesome "Editor's notes" for most of Summa's Wii posts as well? Seriously, you could take that one right there verbatim, except replace all references to "Ron Workman" with "Robert Summa" and all references to "Sony" and "PS3" with "Nintendo" and "Wii", and it would still be 100% accurate. Including the last sentence.)
