Leaked Metal Gear: Rising Trailer Outs Platinum as Developer [UPDATED]

[Tony2077]

cool i may buy this one after all i was going to give up on the series

 

[Alaster Angelo]

Looks nothing like MGS, but I guess that's the price of going from James Bond to Terminator. I'm expecting everyone's favorite bisexual vampire to make an appearance, by the way.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Looks like Nanobreaker meets Afro Samurai.

I've never been interested in the Metal Gear games, but now that I know Risind is being developed by Platinum Games... Well, let's just say I'm intrigued.

 

[Coldster]

So its being made by the same people who made Bayonetta? Count me out on this one. There is no way I'm going to play another game as horribly made as that.

 

[Frostbite3789]

I'm not patronizing anyone but from the way your post was worded I was under the impression that that you're treating Rising as part of the Metal Gear Solid cannon. Defensive much?

And I'm sorry but I fail to see this argument about Raiden not being a comprelling or likable character in any of your posts. Care to point it out? Then again it's not like I'm here to try and force you to like him.

Also, I forgot the refer to your point about X-Com or Syndicate earlier. In answer to that, I've never player either of those games nor even heard of them before all the genre change controversy flared up. Don't plan on playing them either so they could get turned into a rhythm game for all I care.

Of course you were dearie. But I fail to see how that particular impression was relevant at all, even if I didn't understand the concept of separate continuities. And I'm not defensive, I'm passive aggressive.

Fair point, mayhaps I was relying too heavily on the power of inference there.

Lastly, your ignorance of those two games doesn't invalidate that off hand remark I made, I was simply implying that you seemed like the kind of person who wouldn't care if someone came along and removed the aspects you enjoyed most from a game in a spin-off/remake/sequel.

This has nothing to do with the Solid series though. At this point you're just being obtuse...to be obtuse.

They aren't suddenly going to make every Metal Gear game a hack'n'slash game. Were you complaining that Peace Walker was ruined forever because you had to manage troops and a base too?

OH GOD THAT MUST MEAN EVERY METAL GEAR GAME AFTERWARDS WILL HAVE THAT! Not just because it fits the plot or the main character. No, that'd make sense. Ruined. Forever.

 

[SnakeoilSage]

Visually of course it's impressive, there's no denying that.

Buuut come on. Tossing a Metal Gear Ray into the air like it's a trash can? That's the kind of stuff I'd expect from a surreal series like Bleach or Final Fantasy, not one obsessed with anti-war sentiments and conspiracy theories.

So you took out Solid Snake and replaced him with Raiden.

That's like taking out Batman and replacing him with Cyborg Superman. I just... agh! Why?!

I'm sorry but whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I'm honestly uncertain if you are deficient or if you are attempting to deride me.

I really can't believe that gamers have become so jaded that they can watch a trailer of a man who is also a cyborg ninja go toe to leg in a sword fight against a Metal Gear Ray before proceeding to throw it into the air then slice it apart and scoff at it!

Can you really say that it doesn't look fun as hell?

Fun isn't necessarily the issue, you can play a game, have fun, and still despise the game due to things like inconsistencies, story making little to no sense, characters acting out of character, villains doing evil things for no reason other than being the villain, or in the case of MGS 4, having the two sides fight for absolutely no reason than you want to have conflict.

Before you say something along the lines of "But games are meant to be all about gameplay" you need to look at the whole of a series instead of looking at the one title, the MGS games are based partially around gameplay, and mostly around story, so expecting people to just blindly accept this when it makes no sense in context is absurd.

You're absolutely right when you say that all of this makes no sense in the context of Metal Gear Solid. But this isn't Metal Gear Solid.

This is Metal Gear Rising. A spin-off. A side-story.

The new title alone shows that this is setting out to be a completely different experience than what we're used to. Snakes story will be continued in Metal Gear Solid 5 and will more than likely contain the MGS experience we're used to.

Fair enough, I guess this just takes some time before people get used to the idea.

Not interested Metal Gear Solid should have ended after 4 or Peace Walker.

Well the only reason I've been able to accept this so quickly is because I unloaded all my hate when the DmC reboot was revealed but after time and more information I've come to accept and look forward to it.

In this case I'm skipping the hate and just moving straight onto acceptance.

 

[x-machina]

Why stop at just two subtitles? Why not Metal Gear Solid Rising Reveargence Reconnaissance Renaissance?

 

[Louzerman102]

So, the game became Devil May Cry with cyborgs, and the internet hates it?

 

[Dickdatduck]

In MGS4 a one armed cyborg Raiden stops a giant ship from crashing into Snake by himself and a short time after that an armless cyborg Raiden fights off some solders with his sword in his mouth. This series isn't particularly as grounded in reality as some may think.

 

[AntiChrist]

Reveargence... *giggles*

I can accept this and not the new DMC game, because this, as you said, is a side story, not a direct sequel. If the new DMC game was the same (a side story focusing on a new character) I'd accept it too.

Actually I believe that they've now pulled the "alternate universe" card in order to explain how DmC is so radically different if that helps at all. Certainly helped me although I'd still really rather a proper Devil May Cry 5.

There are also supernatural powers, possession, nanomachines that do everything, a guy with force lightning...

I can't believe someone could say that Metal Gear Solid is supposed to be a serious game after playing...any of them.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I laughed at the trailer. Soooooo cheesy. Sooooo silly.

Still, it looks fun. If anything, I'm sure my GF would enjoy it. She loves well done melee combat/beat-em-ups.

And it's by PLATINUM? Yup, it's probably gonna be pretty damn good, if a little cheesy. ....Well...Insanely cheesy.

 

[ckam]

Interesting, I just hope that there will still be the tactical espionage in the gameplay...
