E3 2010: MGS: Rising Introduces Brutal Watermelon Slicing

[Rigs83]

This can only be called a Metal Gear Solid game if it has an hour long cut scene that is nothing but exposition of incredibly boring stuff.

 

[LewsTherin]

But can he slice a tomato?

Anyhow, this has piqued my interests. Now, to see if Raiden's blade can cut...scenes

 

[Brain_Cleanser]

Doesn't look like Metal Gear, looks like Ninja Raiden. Colour me unimpressed.

\

... That... woudl be a better title for it.
But that was... I like.
I like alot.
It's kind left me drooling alittlebit.
Me wants.

 

[DJude]

Wait, this has already been done([small]well, something similar to it[/small]), yeah, with the Afro Samurai game you could do the same thing([small]or something similar to the same thing[/small])... oh well, regardless this game obviously does it much better, can't wait to try it...

 

[Steeveeo]

Was I the only one who found the whole thing comical? From the preview, it looked like the entire game is built around the "cut things into itty-bitty pieces" gimmick.

 

[Hexenwolf]

Well it throws everything that ever made the MGS series great out the window, that ofcourse doesnt mean it has to be bad.

This exactly. It's not what Metal Gear fans want, but it might turn out to be good in it's own way. We'll see.

 

[MR.Spartacus]

Not saying it's going to be bad, but what exactly makes this a MGS game? Besides it having a familar character.

A familiar and unfortunately detestable character. Does he finally stop whining?

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

I remember a time when the Metal Gear series was about stealth. All I get from this is Kojima jumping up and down waving his arms and saying "See?! Raiden is awesome!!!!"

Hideo Kojima isn't even that involved with this title man. Remember the look on his face last year when he was forced to announce it? He was clearly pissed. They they only way that he is involved in any way shape or form is as executive producer.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

*Stands Up and salutes.

By the way anyone else notice the,"HEY LOOK IT'S AFRO SAMURAI'S CUTTING SYSTEM", or is that just me...

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

I don't think this should be called Metal Gear Solid Rising, unless it features Solid Snake in at least a major supporting role, like MGS2 did. Really, if it's only Raiden, they should just call it Metal Gear Rising.

P.S. Thanks

They started suffixing the "Solid" on to the titles of the games after the first PS1 game, because of the move to 3D and polygons - hence solid. Snake's presence didn't make the first three games in the series "Solid"!

No, it's solid because you learn that Solid Snake is one of three clones in Metal Gear Solid,(Solid, Liquid, and Solidus).

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Afro Samurai anyone?

 

[Gh0st1y_H]

I'm not happy with what I'm seeing.

I really, really hope the stealth stuff stays in. From what I saw, though, they aren't even close to trying to keep it around.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

Look, it's no different than having Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles or Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, it's just a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid. If you notice instead of saying "Tactical Espionage Tactics" after MGS it say's "Lightning Bolt Action". Ok, so it's not sneak around for hours, watch cutscene for hours and then do it again. It has some action to it, something the series has needed forever. Maybe Kojima Productions has gotten tired of doing the same game over and over again and wanted to do an action game in the MGS universe.

Maybe that's why they put it on the 360 since most of the hardcore MGS fans already have a PS3 and they hope this might get some peoploe to want to get into the series. So before you MGS fanboys start crying that it's ruined forever, take a minute and let the fact that it might not have been made for you sink in.

 

[Jaqen Hghar]

Wow. Who would have thought! I actually want a Metal Gear game...
But I guess even this game, awesome as it looks, will have the soap-opera drama story which doesn't make sense. You know, the so called "deep" story, which are only deep because it is confusing and stupid.
If there are less of that, then I just might get this. And seeing how people here say Kojima isn't as involved in this, maybe there is hope for it.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

So a spin off eh? I can dig it.

Calumon: I wouldn't mind a watermelon right now.

 

[HyenaThePirate]

Raiden just graduated from "Snake's erstwhile sidekick" to "Definitive Bad ASS" with that trailer..

 

[DJude]

Afro Samurai anyone?

uhh, hold on...
here we are

Wait, this has already been done([small]well, something similar to it[/small]), yeah, with the Afro Samurai game you could do the same thing([small]or something similar to the same thing[/small])... oh well, regardless this game obviously does it much better, can't wait to try it...

But yeah, when i first saw the thing where you hold back the sword and line up the slice, Afro right away jumped into mind....

 

[RooftopAssassin]

How does anybody know snake won't be in the game? I haven't been following Rising at all. Did they say it wouldn't feature Snake at all? Or any other previous MGS characters for that matter?

I remember a time when the Metal Gear series was about stealth. All I get from this is Kojima jumping up and down waving his arms and saying "See?! Raiden is awesome!!!!"

Hideo Kojima isn't even that involved with this title man. Remember the look on his face last year when he was forced to announce it? He was clearly pissed. They they only way that he is involved in any way shape or form is as executive producer.

Constipation... that is all...
