Apart from the obvious pretty graphics, I was pleasantly surprised by the camera work. Looked very professional. And yes, I know, "MGS cutscenes, hur hur", but that was some impressive moviemaking right there.
Also, did that kid have those headphones plugged into his chest? Sure looked like it.
I'm gonna have to play Peace Walker now.
And Freddy Krueger in a drill sergeant hat... How come it took this long for that to happen?
Looks fantastic. I'm always hungry for Metal Gear Solid stuff (excluding handheld versions, just can't get into them for some reason) but this just looks great. As for the people actually feeding the troll in this thread...lol. Just lol
After that, real gaming critics and journalists have to waste their hours writing articles about the obvious changing conditions in video games instead of why SquareEnix hasn't a clue what to do in selling Final Fantasy to western audiences.
That snake pretty much HAS to be Big Boss considering...
They make mention of both Paz and Chico in the present tense, and referring to the end of Peacewalker by saying that Paz was found still alive.
It'll be interesting to see the differences between Old Boss-snake and Old Solid Snake. He certainly didn't seem nearly as brittle as Old Solid was.
One of the interesting tidbits not mentioned either, was that you can select the music that plays when you have a helicopter coming to extract you. Yet, how loud that music is also determines how aware the enemy might become of you during said extraction. So... might want to think twice before you load up some metal into your choppers playlist!

Aaaaah, so I see that this is what Kojima has been actually working on while letting the Metal Gear Rising team do nothing for 2 years.
Yep, because its totally Kojima working on Metal Gear Rising: Reveangance, and nooooooot Platinum games. Yeah. Platinum has definitely been doing nothing at all with the game. No sir.
Ummm Platimun Games picked up MG Rising after is was very close to cancelling it. And to be honest from the trailers we've seen they haven't really changed the game at all. it still looks like the Afro Samurai game's combat mechanics skinned with MGS4.
You're right about that. Judging from the 2 trailers the Platinum Games version actually looks worse than the original.

So I take my original statement back.
Hideo Kojima wasn't majorly involved either way but the original version at least looked a lot less repetitive. Revengeance (worst made up word ever?) looks to be more like the worst parts of Bayonetta combined with the sliding of Vanquish.
And they took out the "free cut" feature. (Or as I call it, the "Improved version of the only thing the Afro Samurai video game had going for it" feature.) Now its just another Devil May Cry-like.
MGS: Ground Zeroes looks freaking amazing though, glad to see that Kojima still can make beautiful games.

the fact Big Boss looked to be younger and in better condition than Solid Snake at the epilogue of MGS 4,
I can only assume age won't be nearly as big an issue here

If you watch the extended gameplay video, they call in a helicopter around the 12:40 mark, and I kid you not, it's actually playing Flight of the Valkyries. Seriously, check it out:

EDIT: As for the game itself, I'm cautiously excited. One of my favorite parts of MGS3 and 4 was poking around in buildings and bases to find supplies and other items. Imagine doing that in a completely open world base.
There's a lot of things to get angry about; I'm sure the longer you live (heck, I'm twenty-two) the more you'll broaden your horizons and realize just how much is at stake in other more pressing areas -- i.e globalization, politics, economics, your future love life (and that's a big "if" -- oh!). Soon video games will be just what they were meant to be to us, a pass time. But enough about you.
And what are you doing about this in your own life? apart from moaning on an internet forum.
Oh yeah tell me what the cost of the ps3 was on release? and how much for a decent gaming rig? I made a massive upgrade to my pc about 4/5 years ago, since then ive got maried, now have a 2 year old daughter, and bought my own house, and upgraded my graphics card which was £160 for a 560ti and i max out all games.
Edit: might as well add in im also studying an open university degree in environmental science while working full time. Damn my PC addiction leaving me no time for anything else
Nope. His problem is he's one of those college students who took an economics and a politics class for one smester and thinks he knows everything now. So basically he's an asshole.
OT: Kojima you lovable fucking troll. So this what you've been doing while feededing us bullshit about "MGS:R". Don't ever change you crazy guy.

Literally watched that a couple of minutes after I posted that comment, and my jaw dropped when I heard it. at First I thought I was imagining it... Then I remembered thats the exact kind of thing Hideo Kojima would put in the game.

Yup, 13-2 was better but still crappy, they shot themselves in the foot with the battle system. Say what you want about 12 but at least you had to use your brain to suceed in that game, same with 10, yes it's slower, but it's a lot more engrossing to play.
This is where X-2 comes in. It has an appalling story. It ruins characters I loved. It introduced Payne. But fucking hell it had an outstanding battle system.
Well, I know it's good for them and all that, but loved the time when MGS was Playstation exclusive! (comming from a console and pc gamer :* don't flame me)
I know. Although if they cut out all the bullshit from the game. The pointless cut scenes etc i bet the game would fit on one disk easy. I recently played the HD release of 3 and 4 and wow there is so much pointless crap in the game.
You're right about that. Judging from the 2 trailers the Platinum Games version actually looks worse than the original.

Wow... The old one looks amazing, the new one not so much. I know MGS has never been 'realistic' but the new one looks WAY WAY over the top compared to previous games. I got more of a MGS feeling from the original.
notice the icons at the end....Ps3...AND xbox360...this game looks way too good for EITHER console though, so the graphics are deffinitly not going to be as good on consoles unfortunatly..and as an xbox owner...how many disks will this thing have?!
It's already running on a PC... seriously Kojima... it's been more than 10 years since Metal Gear 2, can we already have a Metal Gear for PC?, it looks seriously awesome and I'm going to kill some kittens if it doesn't get a PC release.
Or I could burrow my cousin's PS3, that could also work
If you can't tell, I'm angry. In attempting to find out of GZ was actually coming to PC, I stumbled across an article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, in which the author claimed "My feeling is that PC gaming is dead, and that no one should attempt to launch games on the platform, for any reason."
This coupled with you being an asshole and shitting on My preferred platform sent me into a fit of rage. Hence the rant.
I don't mean to start or perpetuate a flame war. You've just made me angry.
That went completely over your head, didn't it? Just look at the slogan of Rock, Paper, ShotgunC GAMING since 1873...(I have my suspicions that the date might be, in fact, not true.)
Man, did everyone skip MGS3, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker? I know it's hilarious to joke about the cutscene to gameplay ratio with MGS, but with the 'Prologue/Big Boss' series they've all been very balanced. Portable Ops only had 3 cutscenes, and Peace Walker didn't have a cutscene longer than 8 minutes!
Another thing is the bloated story arc; The Prologues have all tied into each other nicely and kept them rather simple.
I'm pumped. This just reminds me to go back and get all the trophies for MGS4 and MGS2.
