Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

how did they come to see that there is a demand for a game like this?

:neutral:

it's like they managed to get absolutely everything wrong

impressive

So long Rising, was nice knowing you

Only thing worse than what I think the game will be is that trailer, fucking amazing how retardedly bad it is.

lmao

but i have my faith in Hideo

Why? It's obvious he's gone further off the rails than George Lucas.

My thoughts exactly. This is laughable, and it's coming from a huge MGS fan.

I'm just as confused as I was when the first trailer came out ages ago. Like then, I can't help but wonder why the Metal Gear Solid IP is being used at all when it's clearly a game that has very little in common with the series apart from the crossover of certain characters and robots. Unlike you guys I do think this will probably end up being a good hack-and-slash game considering the team developing it (MadWorld, Bayonetta). But... why MGS? Why?

I think what's actually happened is Hideo was desperate to branch out into doing something else after saying he's done with Metal Gear Solid for the 50th time, only to realise that he was getting pulled back into his beloved IP once again and couldn't help but try and tie in somehow. Then after a while he realised he actually just wants to do MGS5 and has palmed this off to another studio. What else has the Peace Walker team been doing since that game came out? That was Hideo and the bulk of the MGS4 team's last known project — Rising/Revengeance was developed by a separate team from the start.

I'm just going to treat Revengeance the same way as games like Portable Ops, Peace Walker, etc. They're relevant and canonical, but they're not really part of the core MGS series I enjoy. Different gameplay, different approach, just different. And not all that important story-wise. As such, probably won't play.

And I thought MGS was shit already. :x

Bring it.

tbh this is exactly how Raiden was portrayed in MGS4 except he's not getting stabbed in every fight.

True. Unfortunately I have no interest whatsoever in playing as Raiden, particularly this balls-out ninja version. At least he actually played like Snake in MGS2.

My only emotion is pity that you don't appreciate such an excellent series.

I thought MGS was about stealth and guns.. Not swords

ROTFLLMAO

That explains something... (I also played and finished MGS1-4 and enjoyed them... but this game doesn't look interesting at all)

Watching that trailer reminded me of the fake movie trailers in Grindhouse. Sure, they're entertaining on their own, but they're not meant to actually fulfill a real, completed project!

Disappointed! Probably not gonna have any MGS flair to it at all. Bad spin-off incoming.

Ok, it might be a good game in the end, if you look at it alone. But I doubt they needed the MGS setting for that.

Srsly, all Raiden does in MGS4 is twirl around like a ballerina killing gekko/cow robots.
