At least we know what that electric spine/whip thing is now, lol

El_Colombiano5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

And here we were being told it was going to look as good as MGS4.

WLPowell5082d ago

Raiden's character model looks good, but that robot was not up to snuff.

R2D25082d ago

Unless Sony pay's you guys for trolling then I dont see why you can give it a rest for one day.

Cold 20005082d ago

That def looks better than MGS4 but hey I was expecting full out denial. So much for the "mgs4 only possible on PS3" crap.

Crystallis5082d ago

this game wont have nowhere near the content of MGS4....try again.

gamelova5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

He's saying it looks better than MGS4, we are not talking about content yet. It does look better, when will you people grow up, lol. The PS3 has the best looking games, but MGS4 is one of the weakest when it comes to pushing PS3 potential. This game looks better, way better. You need new glasses. Here comes all the disagrees, this is how biased this site is, lol

Crystallis5082d ago

Im not doubting it looks good. The notion that MGS4 couldnt be done on the 360 was b/c of all the content.

WLPowell5082d ago

Try playing MGS4 to form an opinion. The only thing that came close to MGS4 was Raiden's character model (hair looked laughable it was blowing in the wind and he was inside a building, just flapping away) but THAT WAS IT! as I said before the detail/animations on the robot were not as good as the geckos from MGS4 (sorry but it's true)

Slightly Off Topic: I thought Rising and Kinectimals looked awesome (sue me, my inner pokemon fan enjoys shit like that)

Bhai5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

-MGS4 was on 29GB of space, 360 can't even dream of putting up with that with its primordial DVD, heh heh, and thats just one of many reasons it wasn't a fit for the 360 :)

-Moreover, Rising isn't a Metal Gear series game, its a spin-off with small segmented areas and enemies to kill... no stealth, no storyline depth, no exploration, just hack n slash, so OK its welcomed, but far from a magnificence that was MGS4...

-Finally, MGS4 was in 2008, Rising will be in 2011, heh heh, you got the point, a spin-off that'll be released after 3 years and is also on PS3 and PC, still upperhand for the PS3 with 1 true MGS4, 1 spin-off and also the true MGS5=MGS: Peace Walker on the PSP... You'll just have to make do with the leftovers ;)

Heard The Rumour Tat MGS Rising Going To Be ABUT 6 OR 7 DVDs On Xbox Just Like The Final Fantasy.Looks Like Ps3 Got The Upper Hand Around Here.

sam22365082d ago

R.I.P. Metal Gear series.

1987-2010.

Dead_Cell5082d ago

It's about on-par with MGS4, not quite there yet but I'm willing to bet it will probably surpass it graphically when Rising actually hits the shelves.

Dramscus5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

He was refering to the stealth aspects of the game that are not apparent. Though I doubt it'll look mgs4 realistic when it releases.

Edit. Does look pretty good for a game on the xbox though. Still not impressed since I'm always looking at ps3 games.

Dead_Cell5082d ago

Replied to wrong post, I'm still not used to this N4G crap. I can't even track my own comments properly anymore.

Imperator5082d ago

Yea, no wonder Kojima rushed off the stage. That was just bad. The MS conference, as of now, is just fail.

WLPowell5082d ago

Peace Walker is the shit!!!!

raztad5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

@sam

MGS is not dead yet. PLEASE DONT forget MGS:PW. Game is fantastic. It deserves good sales and not to be buried under a pile of piracy.

Ot: Where can I see this footage?

It looks good, but this is not a real MGS game that people loved.

Fireseed5082d ago

"This" being in the present tense referring to a game that is unreleased, and stating that people did not love it in the past. Wow is your head so far up your own ass that your starting to become delusional?

StarScream4Ever5082d ago

The only thing that impressed me is how the slicing would have work with Move... Oh just imagine. ^_^

despair5082d ago

its a hack and slash...hope there's more to it than that and the actual gameplay looked jerky...

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

TheVetOfGaming2415d 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.

Utalkin2me2659d 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.

ravinash2659d 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.

JunMei2659d 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.

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.'

Agent20093853d ago

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.

Nyxus3853d 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.

-Foxtrot3853d 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_BATT0USAI3853d 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.

-Foxtrot3853d ago

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

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

Dagobert3853d 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.

zeal0us3853d ago

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

ChipChipperson3853d ago (Edited 3853d 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.

Nyxus3853d 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.

ZBlacktt3853d ago (Edited 3853d 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.
