That's what I'm secretly hoping for it to be...B0BX said:
But at a certain point in the conference, Microsoft said "From this point on, everything you see is a 360 exclusive." or something similar to that.
Let us pray that "Metal Gear Solid: Rising [sup]Lighting Bolt Action[/sup] " will also be on PS3! I may have to be convinced to buy a 360 if that were not true!
And frankly, I would not be surprised if Kojima went on the Sony conference and said something similar, if not announce another game for PS3, but now I'm getting all fanboy-y and dreaming stuff.

Nope, I understand, my friend is just like you. There is no way to resolve this apart from "let's agree to disagree" or it could continue forever...
He is. Another Portable Ops/Big Boss-centric pre-MG1 game that's PSP compatible, from what I hear.Jumplion said:

I felt a great disturbance in on live, as if millions of fanboys suddenly cried out in joy and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOT!! Wait, what? Raiden?" *silence*

I find it funny that the only game franchise the PS3 had against any other console (save for LBP) is having its latest installment for the 360. An interesting turn of events.
I don't really think I'll buy the game though.

God, I am gonna regret this...
Jesus Christ, Raiden is not nearly that bad, guys. Go replay MGS2. No, you don't get to play as Snake, but that was necessary to pull off the metaplot of the game. You had to be the rookie, the newbie. You had to suck so in the mindscrew ending, you could save the day and it would mean something. Snake was already awesome, who wants to follow a guy with a plot thread that reads, "starts cool, remains cool for duration, ends cool". It's boring.
And Raiden was never an "emo". That was all Rose. Raiden was dorky and just wanted to know what was going on. Only when Rose broke out the melodramatic piano music did things get really aggravating. Here's a PROTIP: When replaying MGS2, skip all Rose's convos. You'll be shocked how much better the game is. That's why MGS4 tried so damn hard to redeem her.
Geez. In MGS2, gamers whined about not playing Snake. When Raiden went cyborg in MGS4, everyone whined about not being able to play him. Now you do get the chance to play ninja!Raiden and half of you are b'aaaaaaawing. Make up your minds.
Not that it's going to star Raiden anyway.

That would piss my Ps3 friends of soooooo bad.Psychosocial said:At the end of the trailer there was no Sony or PS3 logo, so it might be an Xbox exclusive.harhol said:
Okay, they weren't cliche, but after hearing almost the same story four times in a row it gets old. I stopped listening whenever they mentioned nano machines though. The game changed too much. In the old ones, you really had to rely on stealth considering you weren't that well equipped for most of the game. This game just gives you a pat on the head and a gun and says "Go get em tyke!"Indigo_Dingo said:The weapons themselves didn't stop the stealth gameplay, but actively provide more to the gameplay. To put it another way, the M4 didn't stop me using an oil drum.devildog1170 said:I'll back it up. MGS4 moved too far away from the MGS gameplay. You got an AK right off the bat, you could buy and upgrade weapons, and not to mention, the story was the weakest one. They talked about nanomachines for 30 minutes in most cutscenes. Not to mention, the boss fights were also pretty weak, except for Laughing Octopus. Oh yeah, and the sob story behind why the bosses were insane were so cliche.Indigo_Dingo said:Are you gonna back that up?CantFaketheFunk said:Still better than 4.Indigo_Dingo said:The boss fights were shit. You can't really deny that, the only slightly interesting one was Vamp, and even that turned into little more than a relatively classic "wait for me to expose my weak point" boss fight (beyond maybe the shadow stitching, but even that gets lame when you figure out what he was doing). In contrast, you have The End, Laughing Octopus, and Psycho Mantis. The stealth gameplay itself lacked the intricacy of 3 and 4. As for the awkwardness, lets put it this way - "EMPTY LIKE YOUR SOUL!".CantFaketheFunk said:Hey hey. MGS2 was awesome. Much better than 4, though not quite as awesome as 3.Indigo_Dingo said:

It was a good game, but not of the rest of the series caliber.
The story itself actively remained really strong. If you were one of the people who didn't arbitrarily stop listening when a certain word popped up (I'm gonna play Half Life 2, but stop listening whenever they say the word Combine, and then say its story is weak) the active potential and horror of what they were showing created a real emotional impact.
And I still say that the B & B corps stack up well against the others. Each game has one really memorable fight, and some less memorable ones. Raging Raven seemed to stack up nicely with The Fury, Crying Wolf seemed to stack up evenly with The Fear, and so on. And it still had the Mecha fights.
Plus, Ive never heard that many stories about how a little girl was forced to laugh while her captors made her butcher her family. Or is the cliche just "Bad things happen to person"?Okay, that was definitely funny. Good joke.NoMoreSanity said:It had a more understandable story with likable characters, and had some really good stealth gameplay. The boss fights were forgettable, but the rest of the game made up for it.Indigo_Dingo said:Are you gonna back that up?CantFaketheFunk said:Still better than 4.Indigo_Dingo said:The boss fights were shit.

The game also was extremely weak on the gameplay side. I've played all MGS games, and this one takes the cake of having the most cutscenes. A few of them were unnesecary, and only bogged down the game. Act 5 had about 15 minutes of actual gameplay, and the rest just cutscenes. Also count in that Act 3 was pretty damn boring, following someone around, rails shooter, bossfight, 40 minute cutscene. Strong shooting mechanics, but not enough to back the entire game up.
Look, we could probably sit here debating all day and night about the game, but it's my opinion, and I also respect your opinion.
I have both PS3 and 360 but I kinda wished it was PS3 exclusive because then I can build up my PS3 game library, only got 6 and like over 20 360 games. >_<
