Metal Gear Franchise Coming to 360

[soaringbiscuit]

I laughed more at the random "Lightning Bolt Action" phrase above the title in the trailer than I did at the fact it was coming to 360. Then I looked at my trash can and saw an exclamation point! Turns out a PS3 fanboy had already snuck in and was going to try to smash my 360.

This sounds kinda cool. Not really excited, not really opposed to it. The MGS series is one that I can't play unless the want strikes me. I never played 4 and probably never will as I don't plan on buying a PS3 (my brother in law has one anyway).

Also, cartwheels.

2. Raiden is not the worst Character ,,he's being treated like sonic now... all hate for nothing
how many of you were first shocked to see raiden but soon adjusted and still kept playing the great game ?

I played Metal Gear Solid 2 for the first time in February of 2008. I was fully aware that I would not be playing as Snake, and I had no emotional attachment to him, having never played Metal Gear Solid. He still made me cringe. The only time I warmed to him as a character was in his final scene in MGS4 - before that, I still couldn't shake the feeling he was acting like a petulant child.

Like a Child ? yes

i was addressing the issue of people stating that he was a gay pussy
i'll admit he was kinda a wimp but not enough to make me ahte him
and i think people only call him gay because of long hair and the sneaking suit he wore

overall Raiden is a cool character.

And then he was molested by the president.

I think i'll lock my anti-Raiden friend in a small room with the announcement and see how lock it takes him to launch anger lasers from his eyes. Good times.

I have both a PS3 and a 360 (the only true cure for fanboyism) and I am completely psyched for this. I am a huge MG fan and have finished every game at least twice. I am so excited to finally play as Ninja Raiden and not just Raiden. I wonder what it will be about? Why is it called lightning?

Metal Gear Franchise Coming to 360

Metal Gear Solid Rising will be coming to the Xbox 360, and will be an all-new experience. Hideo Kojima took the stage briefly at Microsoft's press conference to announce the title, which is already in development. But when Don Mattrick said he was happy that Solid Snake would be coming to Xbox, Kojima said, "I didn't say anything about Solid Snake!"

Metal Gear Solid Rising will be all about Raiden, it seems. Nothing else to tell you right now - we saw a logo, that was it.

That sound you hear is millions of Sony fanboys screaming in horror. Or maybe it's Microsoft fanboys laughing hysterically. Not sure which.

It is the Sony fans laughing because they keep Solid Snake and we get Raiden.

Raiden was my favorite Metal Gear Solid character (cause MGS 2 was my first metal gear game...if you don't count Snake's Revenge, which wasn't a metal gear game.)

I hope this comes to the ps3 as well. I don't really care for exclusives one way or another , multiplatforms are fine with me. However, I've been waiting on a game where I can play as Raiden with his ninja stuff going on, it's gonna suck if I can't because I can't afford both systems. Oh well.

Lets put it this way - Hideo Kojima thought that a proper greeting from the President of the united states to Raiden was to grab at his crotch. Now, I've never had Mr. Obamas hands at the joint of my trouser legs, nor do I personally know anyone who has, but it is relatively emasculating.

Hmm you got a really good point

but why did the president grab his crotch ? ( Confusion between the fact what gender Raiden was perhaps)

 

[Aptspire]

wow...
the repercussions for conjoint games (FF13) were bad enough
The repercussions for EXCLUSIVE 360 will be even worse

I think it's because even Hideo Kojima wasn't that sure what gender he was, so he just had the president do that in order to leave open for interpretation.

you know I never cared where MG went, and regardless of what a potential fan boy may say.. I remind of one thing, one simple thing..MG started on the NES, so snake, or anything MG related in my book is really no different than any other character thats been passed about the console world in the same way a relativity pretty cabin boy has been passed around a East Indian Trading Company ship.

Wonder if he's bunking next to Sonic? or even the RE crew?

 

[SamB2604]

When are 'Kojima Productions' announcing whether it is going to be a 360 exclusive? Or have they already and I've missed something?

 

[Dan___09]

it might be comeing out on ps3 now if ya look on ign

The 360 is getting Raiden? Wow, that's harsh. I mean, that's giving aides to school-children harsh. Nobody likes Raiden, nobody wants Raiden, and Kojima has clearly done this out of malice.

Way, way, way too harsh, Kojima...

 

[jthm]

I have both a ps3 and a 360. The real winner is me.

 

[azadiscool]

Quite frankly, If more people get to experience MGS, I'm all for 360 development.

Now if only MGS3 and 4 would come to the PC.

They would be ruined, just like the oither two were in transition.

Sony and MS should join up and make a mega console. Sony has the hardware, MS has the software.

And make a 600$ RRoD ? No thank you...


But seriously, I dont see why this is such a big deal, since some of the previous MGS games also went multi-platform.

That's why I said SONY has the hardware and MS has the software. PS3s don't RROD

Why would any PS3 owner want the 360's software.

What we want is Sony games and reliability, and Microsofts......

What we want is Sony's games and reliability.

QFT!!

Well, from what I know, if this MGS game turns out to come to 360 as well as PS3, then I will roll on the floor and laugh at the pathetic attempt of Micosoft trying to remake another "FFXIII on 360!" announcement.

That's if MGS:Rising does go on PS3, but I'd rather see some gameplay footage or at least a damn trailer instead of a picture of Raiden with "Metal Gear Solid: Rising [sup]Lighting Bolt Action[/sup]" on a screen.
