E3 2012: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is More Than Just Slashing (2D-X)

The Platinum Games developed action title has plenty of over-the-top action, but it's more than just slashing. Find out why.

Bleucrunch4363d ago

Whatever it is...its a no buy for me...Call me when Kojima is actually behind this game...but kudos to those that actually pay for this, more power to you.

BISHOP-BRASIL4361d ago

He is behind this game, he's the main producer... I believe you mean as director, but quite frankly, there's just one Kojima, and he's simply too busy. Someone quickly clone that guy!

Now seriously, I don't get why everyone acts like this game is a stain on Kojima's legacy... It's not like Konami are forcing this game agaisnt Kojima's will neither the game had gone to Platinum against his wishes.

I mean, you guys know he's not just the director in Kojima Productions... He's more than just part of the board in Konami either. He's the VP of Konami Digital Entertainment, the game publisher branch of Konami Corp, so, as you can imagine, he have a say when Konami decide to fund a game.

In fact, it's Kojima himself that decided to handle the development to Platinum (which was an option from the beggining) when his own team was struggling to combine stealth and hack'n'slash.

Here's a link... http://andriasang.com/comzo...

I get that some people are mad because they want more of the main Metal Gear stealth action, but guess what, this is just a spin off, no one is forced to buy it... And it's not even done by Kojima Productions so it's not delaying a possible MGS5 or anything.

Brilliantly put together argument. I say argument knowing full and well that you weren't looking for a fight.

+intelligent

Not because I agree with you(which I do), but because you didn't come here behaving like a boorish fool simply because you disagreed with him/her.

I'm sure that plenty of other people appreciate that.

REVENGEANCE!!

BISHOP-BRASIL4361d ago

Thanks Moby-Royale, I was going to put in my comment that this was not so much a reply to Streeks1984 as it was a comment on the general negativity around Revengeance. That I was not trying to pick a fight.

Just didn't want to make another wall of text where I loose sight of the matter (god knows I had made many of those).

It's good to see I didn't got a rain of disagrees (so far) over this missing detail and "attacking" what is apparently the opinion of most in N4G.

Coltrane_C4362d ago

I love Metal Gear... I am not a snob where I am not going to take a look at one in the series because Kojima had little influence. Day one purchase for me

Hopefully this can fill the void that ng3 left in my heart. :,(

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion348d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken348d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501348d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken347d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992348d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion348d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic349d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne349d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B349d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
