Metal Gear Solid Rising:What We Know So Far

Nike - 180 days 10 hours ago

Castlevania is much more commercially sound and relevant as a franchise than Zone of the Enders. It'd be great to see it in high-def but as long as a Castlevania, Silent Hill, Metal Gear, etc. are available for Konami to create sequels, ZOE 3 may never happen. But good to see the devs stating that if fans want it, they'd be more than happy to give it to them.

I mean what the hell happened to this game (video below)? I'm assuming that game got canceled so they could slap the Castlevania name on Lords of Shadow. However, this game could be 2D or 3D as the trailer doesn't really make much of anything clear except that Alucard is in it since it's just a CG Trailer. If it's a 2D it could be a PSN/XBLA title or possibly a remake of SotN.

Not to mention, Lords of Shadow isn't even a real Castlevania game (even the trailer which came out earlier that didn't have the Castlevania name slapped on it). Lords of Shadow is also being made by MercurySteam (the same people who made Clive Barker's Jericho). Also, why no mention of Koji Igarashi at Konami's E3 conference?

There are numerous things wrong with this but I will just leave it at that.

LOL.... the new game engine for MGS: Rising will allow for better graphics than MGS4, according to Kojima Productions. Care to explain those statements away first?

How can the graphics be BETTER than those running on the MGS4 game engine if the MGS4 engine is so superior?

Listen to the podcast if you dare: http://www.konami.jp/kojima...

If you can't understand why the MGS4 engine can't run on the Xbox 360... then you'll have a hard time understanding why different car engines can't just run in ANY other car without major modifications if even then.

This is the B group the creator of the first Zone of Enders (it suck so much and was so cliche ,im glad Kojima directed ZOE2 ,it was awesome)and Metal gear solid VR mission, u played as Grey Fox . I really dont care about it. i might buy it if there nothing good coming around the time this come out ( which i doubt).
Im really exited about MG Peace Walker a game being develop by the A team,the same that made MGS4 . That's something to be exited about and not a half a$$ game by the b group .

@Sackboy:

Well, Kojima also created Metal Gear Solid Touch, which was basically MGS4 for the iPhone. And that sucked. So better to wait for the game's release before deciding who made the better game in the past and whatnot. And hey, look at it this way: No one involved in MGS Rising has worked on Snake's Revenge. :)

@Sackboy & other hardcore fans

*puts flameshield on*

Kojima is the god of convoluted story lines. As much as i thought MGS4 was great, there were times (especially the last scene w/ Old Snake & Big Boss talking) when I thought WTF? Of course I never played MGS, did play MGS2, and skipped on MGS3. I enjoyed Portable Ops a lot, but obviously it doesn't really tie into Solid Snake's arc. I probably would understand that last scene better if I had played MGS... but still it's a little too much.

I'm just glad there are other types of espionage/military non-shooter games out there like the Tom Clancy stuff - Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell. Can you imagine SC Conviction w/ a story line like a fully loaded messy baked potato? Yikes!

he has an outstanding MGS4 engine and it can't be used due to the fact the game will be multi-plat.
it's laughable that the article says "a new engine is being coded from scratch to exploit the power of next gen consoles." NEWSFLASH - kojima already MADE that engine. it's just too bad 360 can't handle it. (and this is not fanboy crap - if anyone disagrees; please explain why they aren't using the MGS4 engine for "rising"...i'd like to know)
this makes me wonder if "rising" will end up looking like another cookie-cutter UE3 game. oh well...............

at beardpapa - so it's kojimas fault you can't follow a story? and you didn't play the first or third games; so, it sounds like the problem lies with you and NOT the story. i WILL say that MGS2 went off the "political deep-end" near the end of the game. overall, i really enjoy the MGS world and it's stories.

@beavis

The MGS4 engine was specifically made to run on the PS3 so of course it isn't going to work well on the 360. Same thing would happen if you tried to move a 360-specific engine over to the PS3. By creating a new engine they can make an even better looking game and that is exactly what they are promising they will do.

MGS4 looks good, but it isn't all that special anyway. 360 could easily run that game if the engine was rewritten to work well with the 360.

beavis4play - 180 days 3 hours ago

why would you expect an engine (made for MULTIPLE systems) to produce better results than one made for a specific console? i'm not saying it will look "bad".......but i doubt it will look better than MGS4.
and the arguement that "it could be done on the 360"......that's been used for uncharted and UC2, ratchet:ToD and aCiT, KZ2, MGS4, GOW3, heavy rain, the last guardian......etc... but i've yet to see a 360 game match those kinds of graphics. NG looked great as did ME and the gears games. but they just aren't on the same level as the ps3 exclusives.
but, hey! i hope you're right. i love the MGS series! and thanks for replying.

The worst type of fanboys are the ones who hope for the failure of a major game for their own console. MGSR will be a MAJOR release for both 360 and PS3, yet some here are hoping it fails, thereby hoping a major PS3 game fails, simply because a great MGSR game for PS3 would also mean a great MGSR for 360, and that is intolerable to some fanboys.

@Sox

I agree with you but i think this time I'm going to have to side w/ the guys hoping the game fails. MGS2 was pretty neat and MGS4 was even better, but I felt it was lacking something. The storyline also isn't for everybody. If I had to pick between MGSR or Conviction, I think i'd get Conviction. On a side note though, I just recently picked up Fable 2 when the price went down at Fry's and I'm quite disappointed. The story is cliche, it's not as open-ended as it was advertised, combat sorta sucks, interface couldve been better, and it's quite buggy. I hope Fable 3 (if it ever comes to fruition) fails. Actually, anything that Peter Molyneux promised had failed IMO... even his Black & White games. I thought BW2 would be better than the first but boy it was just the same ol same ol.

Than the xbox 360 ,i dont see where is thefanboynism there ,i actually see fanboynism saying otherwise . Hey i said all that because of expirience not because i dont like it ,it would be stupid more since its a multiplatform game . The only thing im sad is that many people want all the good franchises to lower its quality in order to have it on their console thats really sad even worse is people saying that's fanboynism.

Bigger doesn't always mean better (as far as # of GB's go). After all, isn't the next "true" MGS game - Peace Walker - going to be on PSP? On a 2GB UMD? If you think that putting a game on 360 automatically means lower quality, you must really have low expectations for the PSP game.

The scenes on the motorbike and in the mech were pretty amazing in my opinion. Also the epic battle at the end of the game.

I agree Heavenly and Uncharted are both awesome but MGS4 had several OMFG moments in it for me.

gonna agree with you and crab on this. The Raiden/Vamp scene was awesome, piloting Rex was fantastic, and the last scene vs Ocelot was like an interactive "western" showdown movie. However the rest of the game didn't seem next-gen. Graphics-wise it seemed like a hi-def version of what could be a PS2 game. Presentation-wise it was spectacular. Even though I didn't like the story much or the last scene, I thought it was very touching and emotional seeing Old Snake talk to Big Boss and lighting that last cigar for him, and even more touching when Big Boss told Snake to go live the last bits of his life.

MGS4 could have been done on the 360 no problem. Nothing about it indicates otherwise. The textures were average; the lighting engine was good but nothing that hasn't been done elsewhere; the environments were not any more detailed or geometry-heavy than many other modern games; the anti-aliasing could have been better, especially on shadow maps; and the whole game ran at a sub-HD resolution. It absolutely baffles me that some PS3 fans think it couldn't be done on the 360.

Konami are saying that Metal Gear Solid: Rising will look better than MGS4 and I believe them. If that turns out to be the case it will once and for all put to rest this nonsense.

somehow being "more deeply involved than a producer" means "zero" from creative standpoint.

A video game producer is the person in charge of overseeing development of a video game.

Responsibilities

An internal producer is heavily involved in the development of, usually, a single game. Responsibilities for this position vary from company to company, but in general, the person in this position has the following duties:

* Negotiating contracts, including licensing deals
* Acting as a liaison between the development staff and the upper stakeholders (publisher or executive staff)
* Developing and maintaining schedules and budgets
* Overseeing creative (art and design) and technical development (game programming) of the game
* Ensuring timely delivery of deliverables (such as milestones)
* Scheduling timely quality assurance (testing)
* Arranging for beta testing and focus groups, if applicable
* Arranging for localization

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

so his being more deeply involved than the person in charge of overseeing the development of a game means "zero" from a creative standpoint.

I have had this conversation a few times on N4G on this subject, some people want the game to fail and would only like it if Kojima made the game solely by himself and delivered it to their door and placed it in their PS3 and then explained that the game coming to the 360 was just a joke and that he's sorry.

Kojima is involved, it will be a cool game (cause Kojima productions equals quality), and it will sell like crazy.

Also the multiplatform engine they are creating for it just means that there are even more great games to come.

You Sony Droids are losing your minds.

I watched Lens of Truth do the Resident Evil 5 comparison and the Xbox 360 version had better textures, framerate and particle effects. The PS3 version is missing a full layer of graphical detail.

Just like Metal Gear Rising will be better on 360 also.
