"It´s still gonna be a stealth game"

Kingdom Come5054d ago

So, your looking at some scan's and immediatly presuming that it was a lie becuse the screenshots don't show you what you want to see?! These are the developers of Metal Gear Solid for god's sake, do you honestly not believe them?!

TotalPS3Fanboy5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Like Devil May Cry or something.

It won't be like Metal Gear anymore. Not only that, Kojima is not working on it.

However, that doesn't make it bad. It'll still be a great action game for sure. Just very different from Metal Gear, that's all.

CobraKai5054d ago

I never got the perception that this was gonna be a stealth game. It had no Solid Snake. Raiden with a sword pointed towards an action game, except knowing Kojima Productions, it had to be something unique and it looks like it's gonna deliver.

bjornbear5054d ago

there WILL be stealth, real stealth.

sikbeta5054d ago

@Kingdom Come

It's hard to believe is going to be an Stealth Game like the Real MGS Games, cos if Kojima wants to Show the "New" Raiden aka the non whiny B!tch from MGS2 and the one that we don't know much about other than he's a Powerful dude in MGS4, this game will show his strength and Abilities and will have a little of Stealth, I mean, the idea is to show his new Cybernetic Body (with His Head/Brain and Spine being the Remaining human Parts) that makes him a tough Guy that kick ass...

DigitalAnalog5053d ago

It's not developed by the same team that did the original MGS: Series. This is a completely new division with only to be overseen by Kojima himself who he has not been directly involved with this game.

-End statement

Lombax5053d ago

Isn't this game titled 'Rising'??

Doesn't that tell you something? Like maybe Raiden 'rises' from his MGS2 stealth espionage to his MGS4 lightning baddasserry?

konami has killed another franchise...

Batzi5054d ago

have you played it? NO. Thank you byebye.

NYC_Gamer5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

why should i?it lacks everything that loved about the MGS franchise..i'm not into lighting bolt action

Nitrowolf25054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

i can see what you mean by them making it look more of an action game then a stealth game
MGS has always been about stealth
i won't actually judge it until i play it
(who knows mybe there will be stealth in it)

@below and i forgot to add the fact that Snake will be missing from it.
I am excited for MGR, but to me it doesn't feel like it will be a MG game.
perhaps thats why they are called Spinoff?

Batzi5054d ago

It's still stealth, and last interview confirmed that Rising will have more stealth then previous Metal Gear games because has more abilities and faster moves.

DaTruth5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

How could there be more stealth than previous MGS games? They gonna have stealth on bosses? Stealth cutscenes?

I don't just play stealth games so I'm not gonna judge that it will be a bad game, but it does not look like a traditional Metal Gear game! That said, I don't have to play Barbie's playhouse the videogame to know it probably won't be good and I don't have to try homosexuality to know it's not for me!

I'll have to try it just for the fact that it's named Metal Gear!

Downtown boogey5054d ago

"It's still stealth, and last interview confirmed that Rising will have more stealth then previous Metal Gear games because [Raiden] has more abilities and faster moves."

THIS is exactly what I'm expecting from this game!! Awesome!

SeanRL5054d ago

Don't defend it with your life, it's not a true MG game and every fan knows it.

sikbeta5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Ah Guys, you watched the Trailer, that "CUT...CUT...CUT" Trailer, that's more like it, yeah, it'll have some stealth, but it'll show Raiden Strength and Abilities and that's mean a More Action based Game...

Lighting = Fast
Bolt = Raiden
Action = Hack and Slash

b-real5053d ago

Wait until it comes out before making judgment. MGS4 could arguably not be considered 'true' stealth. The shooting mechanics were so much improved over previous games, that you could play the whole game as a TPS if you wanted (obviously 'true' MGS fans played with stealth!).

I'm sure it will be the same with this game, you will be able to 'sneak' past people if you chose to , or you can hack them to pieces

N4Flamers5053d ago

That was so funny I have to give you michael jackson + bubbles for that.

Stealth cutscenes, lol, who said that?

I think this game will be stealth base because if you ever tried to cut 4 people from a distance who are holding guns by running straight them, you will quickly deduce that sneaking up to them might be a better way to go about it.

I like the cut anything game mechanic and think it will be cool, to appear from the shadows cut a team to ribbons and disappear again.

synce5054d ago

Well they gave Silent Hill to new devs and it turned to shit, DESPITE the fact that Yamaoka supervised them as Kojima seems to be doing with Rising. They gave Castlevania to new devs and it looks like shit (God of War flavored). Stands to reason that MGS will soon turn to shit as well. I would've liked for it to end on a high note but that's impossible, seeing as they'll keep making the games until there aren't enough diehard fans left to make a profit

hot4play5054d ago

I'm playing Rising because of the MGS name but I'm wary of the trend of Japanese developers catering to the western audiences (examples you stated, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy) I hope it's just a phase and that developers find their footing and find the right balance. Still hoping for the best of course...

(Hope that MGS doesn't turn to "shit") =)

Kingdom Come5054d ago

It's a Spin-Off and what I look for in a Spin-Off is an Opportunity to gain insight as to how different circumstances and characters play out. Which is exactly what this game is offering...

asyouburn5054d ago

for americans who have short attention spans, i.e. typical under 18 fps player who cant focus on a cutscene for more than 2 minutes. this game has no long cutscenes, they said themselves that it is more action focused, and from the e3 gameplay vids its mostly swordplay. not that its gonna be a bad game, but metal gear this is not. im sure most people in the states will eat it up, seeing as how some claim mgs is "mostly movie". well, heres your watered down "lightning bolt action"

SeanRL5054d ago

Thank you! Exactly what I was thinking. I loved mgs4 and truly appreciated the work that went into the long detailed cutscenes.

SOAD5054d ago

@asyouburn.

Hey, stop making generalizations about Americans having short atten... wait, what were we talking about?

ThanatosDMC5054d ago

Ah, i see your point... Remember those days when 360 fanboys kept saying MGS4 was just a movie anyway and other crap like that... now they're so hyped that an "MGS" game is coming to the 360 as well.

Do you realize that this isnt a major installment in the MGS franchise? If it was then Kojima himself would be the one working on this game. And he is not, hell he wont even talk about the game because he doesnt want people thinking he is working on it. And this game actually looks pretty good.

STONEY45054d ago

I was gonna say the same thing, and the animation when he cut the pillar then turned in the trailer was reaaally smooth, and so was the destruction. Now I'm just hoping the actual game will feel Metal Gearish enough.

jkhan5054d ago

not to sound to rude but did you just saw per object motion blur in those scans.
Not taking anything aways from MGS rising. It looks amazing but ...

NinjaAssassin5054d ago

At least we know it looks better than MGS4. That's a good sign.

sikbeta5054d ago

IT HAS TO Look Better, MGS4 was released in June 12 of 2008, that's more than [2] years...

SaberEdge5053d ago

asyouburn, you have got to be joking. Look again. This game has much better visuals than MGS4. Everything from the textures to the shadows and character models seems to have been improved.

MGS4 was a great game, but quit being such a fanboy for it. Rising does look better and we should be happy about that.

Simon_Brezhnev5054d ago

either way its going to sell crazy in Japan. they love girly men look a lot of their pop stars.

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.

ravinash2645d 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.

JunMei2645d 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.

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.'

Agent20093839d 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.

Nyxus3839d 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.

-Foxtrot3839d 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_BATT0USAI3839d 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.

-Foxtrot3839d ago

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

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

Dagobert3839d 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.

zeal0us3839d ago

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

ChipChipperson3839d ago (Edited 3839d 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.

Nyxus3839d 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.

Murad3838d 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.

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.

TheDivine3838d 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.
