GameSpot: Metal Gear Solid: Rising Trailer Impressions

GameSpot writes: "What he did show, however, was a quick trailer, although that ended up being as oblique as Konami's teaser campaign in the lead up to this year's E3. The trailer begins amidst a background of grey, cloudy skies. Brief flashes of what look like Japanese characters then appear, as well as various close-ups of Raiden's eyes, gloves, chest plates, and more. The trailer then showed a full head and shoulders view of the ninja, which looks to be the same as was revealed last week on the official Kojima Productions website. As with previous Metal Gear games, Rising will also have a three word tagline: this time, it's Lightning Bolt Action. The words "Sneak In" then appear, followed by a voiceover which said "Raiden... is back".

it was a picture of raidenshown from different angles!mabey i saw the wrong one

can someone help me?

OhReginald5459d ago

that was the trailer ol' chap

theEnemy5459d ago

Not because it was announced for the 360 too, but the preview is nothing special.

I like the fact that it's Raiden though.

Kojima better show something awesome on his Sony appearance.

Thoreau5459d ago

sony, sometimes i ask what the hell are you doing? i love my ps3 over my 360, but the micro is not giving a second thought to sony.

Major_Tom5459d ago

Meh it's not like this is MGS5 and it's not like you'd be getting the better version on Xbox either. I'm interested to see how the graphics are going to look and of course it's going to be watered down.

Plus Kojima isn't even directing it?! Wow so little faith in this. It's gonna be an action game and it's most likely going to suck.

somekindofmike5459d ago

I've not read anywhere yet that Kojima isn't directing it? i've had a look at a few sources, but nothing seems clear on that to me, so i must of missed something.

If Kojima isn't directing it then I would be worried. it's just not Metal Gear with out Kojima, hopefully he has an involvement in it, like producer. keeping an eye on the developement making sure it is kick ass.

Also a few sources seem to indicate it's coming to PS3 as well, but no announcement yet, hopefully this is true, as I don't own a 360 yet, but Metal Gear may be the game to convince me... :)

BigMassacre5459d ago

Can't wait for both PS3 and 360 players to enjoy playing as Raiden.

HDgamer5459d ago

He needs to stop teasing but then he wouldn't be Kojima if he didn't.

PureGamer5459d ago

Not overly excited as its raiden. Hopefully Kojima announces a Big Boss MGS tomorrow.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nyxus2414d ago

No problem! Yeah it's a well made video.

TheVetOfGaming2414d ago

Interesting, although, I already knew most of what was on here. I just wish Kojima had the rights to the franchise. The saga has left with a whimper instead of a bang.

Erik73572659d ago

People use to have more support for Donald on here, was almost half and half...not anymore lol...people we're like "Ohh he wont do that he just said that in his camapign, he wont actually go through with building a wall and banning muslims noooo"

Utalkin2me2658d ago

@Erik7357

Obama banned mulsims too? So whats you point. It all of the sudden tpeople have a opinion on it due to not liking trump. But didn't care when Obama did it in 2011. Liberal Hypocrites.

ravinash2658d ago

He's been in barely a week, and all he does is create policies that give the appearance that he's doing something to please the people that voted for him. Nothing that is actually effective mind you.
He promises to build a wall, says Mexico has to pay for it - Mexico says it won't pay for it = no wall.
Even if the wall was built, if people are determined to get in, they will either climb or tunnel through, so the wall is completely pointless.

Then the ban on people from 6 Muslim countries. Basically creates a lot of hardship for innocent people (a lot of whom are american) because it's stopping families from being together.
And again it's ineffective because if someone really wants to get in (fake passport or go through one of those tunnels under the wall), then they will.
Even if they didn't, most of the attacks these days have been brainwashed people who were already living in America.

This just shows a president who is more concerned with the appearance they give rather than creating an actual thought out action plan to make the world a better place.

JunMei2658d ago

I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Needless to say, any time a country tries to make things overwhelmingly in its favor, making things unfair for everyone else, that's when countries stop doing business with that country. Which then causes exports from that country to falter, since it loses out on trade.

Do we really need Buzzfeed like articles now?? This site is supposed to be an escape from the US presidential fighting of the past 2 years. This is not the n4g I know and love.

The n4g I know is us fighting over review scores, consoles, handhelds, exclusives and PC.

Bathyj2659d ago

Agreed. I wonder where all these people complaining about Trump were on voting day.

I was voting for hillary

The most promising games that never saw a release

VGS: 'Part of the excitement in gaming comes from watching a game be unveiled, following its news updates and eagerly awaiting the day of release. But there are times when it never gets to that final part. Either the game is cancelled, put on hold indefinitely, or becomes ‘vaporware’ - meaning, we simply never hear from it again. Here are some games that never saw a release, but that did look rather promising.'

I'm still disgruntled by Kojima's decision to cancel the original Metal Gear Solid: Rising's concept. It was absolutely ambitious: an open world stealth slasher with an ability to cut literally everything to make your way through... without enemy's notice.

I guess it was just too beautiful to happen.

Nyxus3852d ago

Yeah the idea was very cool but they just couldn't get the concept together. It's a shame but maybe they will do something with the material they have some day.

-Foxtrot3852d ago

I know right, in my opinion the game we got was horrible compared to what could of been. The Rising game we got seemed out of place for being a MGS game even despite being a spin off.

Eight Days hopefully will make it's way to the PS4 one day, the gameplay back in 2006 looked amazing. Imagine what it will look like now

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3852d ago

Rising is actually canon. LOL

Also, although it seems out of place. It was by no means a bad game. Terrible story, but gameplay was AMAZING.

-Foxtrot3852d ago

Get out...really, it's now cannon

I thought Kojima said it was a non cannon spin off...christ sake <sigh>

Dagobert3852d ago

I was seriously looking forward to Konami's MGS Rising. That was supposed to be an actual prequel to MGS4 where the storyline made sense. The new one just sucked honestly, it would have made a great Bayonetta game where gameplay is fun and storyline is just stupid.

zeal0us3852d ago

Blame the development for not being able to get the action and stealth element together.

ChipChipperson3852d ago (Edited 3852d ago )

The original concept for Rising definitely looked way better. It just had that swiftness and accuracy to the whole cutting mechanic. There was a certain, I suppose, elegance and finesse to the way they had Raiden move and how he fought. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Revengeance for what it was, but I was really looking forward to what Kojima Productions was going for, both gameplay wise and story wise. Who knows, maybe one day they will use concept for a new Rising game that is made by Kojima Productions or possibly a new IP from them.

Nyxus3852d ago

I agree, while I did enjoy MG Rising, the previous concept did look and sound intriguing, and I was interested in that story focusing on Raiden's transition to cyborg ninja.

Murad3852d ago

I totally agree with your statement, but now that I'm thinking about it, if he did do it, it would be very difficult in terms of programming. The reason why is because every time, let's say hypothetically, Raiden cut something, that dataStructure would have to look completely different, or disappear and be replaced, there would be far too much to necessary power to be put on different systems, I believe, unless I'm thinking of programming this game completely the wrong way.

Trigun for the PS2, was so sad when I heard it got canceled.

ZBlacktt3852d ago (Edited 3852d ago )

And when I was saying this spin off game was going to do so poorly long before it came out. People just clicked disagree, lol. I know the gaming market. :cool:

Same with MGS5. People will buy it for sure. But it won't have the impact MGS4 did. More so changing out David Hayter for no real reason at all. But more for a personal one of Kojima's. Many diehards did not like that at all!

A lot of the games history died in MGS4. Now it's become just some game. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

TheDivine3852d ago

Idk I really didnt care for MGS4, it was too action focused, stealth meant nothing, the story was horrendous, along with many other things like lack of memorable boss fights. Still, MGS is as awesome to me as always. The game didnt live up to snakes last mission in my eyes but it was still a good game. The series is still amazing for sure.

I do agree axing David Hayter was a HORRIBLE thing to do. He is Snake. The series is def going more TPS and mainstream. I'm worried how Kojima will manage to keep it stealthy in an open world setting. I have my worries but Kojima has delivered time and time again so I will trust him and hope he makes me feel like a fool for doubting him lol.
