Hey its Metal Gear Cry! And was that Ocelots voice at the end?

[Darkmessiah24]

Woah. Badass.

[Michael Kontoudis]

I could not be more excited.

The insanity of Kojima's creation coupled with the general excellence of Platinum Games... I love it.

I also love the off the wall 80s kitschiness of the trailer. Fantastically different from Kojima's serious, portentous style.

[THEMAN]

looks terrible. next

I said this in the other thread, but I'm gonna repeat myself. Yes!! Recently purchased Bayonetta again for my 360, was playing it.... so good! This game is in good hands.

This trailer is like a litmus test for those with no taste. Anyone who can't appreciate the glorious cheese might as well go and stick to 'realistic' and 'serious' games like... erm... Modern Warfare?

[ObsoletE]

ha, awesome.

that said, i've not really liked either of platinum's other releases, so... who knows?

That Metal Gear Ray takedown looked pretty cool....I might still keep an eye on this one.

Banefire, I would never diss Kojima. I adore Kojima's voice... But this is just so refreshingly balls-out insane and irreverent.

[Pemalite]

I must admit I was sceptical when this was first announced, I truly thought the MGS series should've ended at 4, but that trailer was kinda awesome. Kinda reminds me of Ninja Gaiden, except just a bit more insane
And Revengeance, word of the year!

I might be in the minority here, but I hope story-wise, it's relatively self-contained. If they try to link it with the other games, I'm afraid they'll create even more plot holes And hehe, cocky Raiden, not sure how I feel about that, but it's better than whiny Raiden And I'm glad they removed the Solid from the title, Metal Gear Rising seems more appropiate. Logo look cool too Can't wait to see more!

Edit: Ehh, that word's censored? How about very confident?

[BigBoss]

You either love it or hate it. The metal gear in the title looks like it just means it follows the story further. Looks different to say the least. I'm not sure if I'll love this as much as tactical espionage action, will have to see the final product before i make a purchase to be honest, and I'm a massive MG fan since the NES days.

Why do people have trouble accepting a slash em up in the MG world, which is what this game has always been held out to be?

This is a spin off, and won't be replacing the mainline MGS series.

I'm happy to see a dev like Platinum playing with Kojima's toys.

[Frozencry]

What's the problem?

I hated Bayonetta and was very meh towards Vanquish, but god damn, they've captured Raiden's skills and power in this game pretty damn well. And stealth? Really? You're a Cybernetic Ninja that absolutely fucks people up in MGS4 with no stealth.

Looks pretty sick.

This isn't Metal Gear Solid, it's a spin-off game. I'm kind of baffled that so many fans are upset by the emphasis on action over narrative and stealth. The tagline for Rising is "Lightning Bolt Action" not "Tactical Espionage Action". You're also playing as Raiden the overpowered cyborg ninja who stopped a moving ship with one arm less than a minute after cutting his other one off.

If this were Metal Gear Solid 5 I'd be disappointed in the drastic change in style and gameplay. Metal Gear is my favourite gaming franchise and I'd love to see another game with the lengthy cutscenes and over the top narrative some people here seem to hate. But the long cutscenes and dialogue exchanges I and others do find interesting and enjoy in MGS games would continually disrupt the flow of an over the top action game like Rising.

Not to mention the fact that it'd be a waste to not let the player hack and slash **** to pieces as we've seen in MGS4 and the trailers for Rising. I remember back when I played MGS: VR Missions as Gray Fox hoping for a spin-off game where you could focus on action gameplay over stealth. Rising looks like being that game for me and as a result I'm excited and like what I see.

With all that said if they do get around to making a MGS5 I want and expect it to be similar to the style we're used to.

I haven't yet finished Bayonetta (I really should...) but I loved Vanquish. That game was gold and such a joy to play. I'm really confident that Platinum Games will deliver a game that will show up those who dismissed it.

I hope it's great, of course. Unfortunately, all signs (what little there are) point to another 5 hour swing-and-a-miss attempt at a piss-take from Platinum. They easily could have taken Raiden out for another ironic lead to camp and sass their way through a game I don't care about.

Prove me wrong, children. Prove me wrong.

[GooberMan]

So. By the looks of things. It's going to be the game Lords of Shadow should have been. It may end up being the first time I sit down and finish a Metal Gear game since the abomination that was the second of the Solid series.

So, here's what happened.

- Original Rising direction failed. They essentially had the cutting gimmick and that's it. Tried to write a story and revolve a game around it and it apparently never felt 'enough' to make a proper game. That E3 demo cutting watermelons and shit? That was literally all the game was.
- Rising was cancelled.
- Kojima invited Platinum dudes down to KojiPro. Started talking about rebooting the game and having them develop it.
- Platinum tasked with doing 100% gameplay. KojiPro tasked with story/cutscenes.
- Rising was originally set between MGS2 and MGS4. Platinum felt that the setting was limiting their scope of gameplay. Talked to Kojima, and Kojima agreed. Platinum has a 'gameplay first' policy that Kojima respected, and thus Rising is now set post-MGS4.
- Script, due to setting change, has been re-written from scratch.

Nice dot points Jarrod. I just hope this doesn't mark the end of Tactical Espionage Action and Kojima can produce a few more gems. This game might also make some new fans who enjoy a rich story with their hack and slash.
