Surplus Sequels is a series at Coregamer where we discuss whether upcoming or rumored games are a deserving or unneeded sequel.
First under the chopping block is Metal Gear Solid: Rising, a semi-prequel, semi-sequel to MGS 2 and MGS 4. The question is whether this title deserves to be released when the MGS and Solid Snake story has been concluded.
Konami has announced that a Silent Hill Transmission will take place on Thursday, May 30, at 4pm PT/7pm ET that will reveal game updates, a "deeper look at the film," and new merch. Join us at IGN to find out what's next for this beloved franchise.
This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.
Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.
I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Only thing I can say is that Rising isn't exactly a particular sequel per-sé, since "Rising" is actually going to be branced out from the MGS series we know (1-4) and made into it's own sort of series. (Apparently even Rising: 2 is already planned despite how far behind the creators of this are. <_< )
I agree with the article though. It's not needed, and one minute Matsuyama is saying that it's going to bridge the gap between MGS2 and MGS4, the next he's saying that they're going to make sure the story is easy to understand for newbies to MGS, so which is it? :/
I like the writer just want to see some actual gameplay. I'm sick of hearing the creators and Konami themselves saying "it's a stealth title", "stealth will play a big part in the game still etc etc.", stop telling us and actually show us Konami, I mean they've been working on it for around 20 months now and all they have is 2 pictures of Raiden and a 2-minute trailer.
Sry -- double post.
I do fear Rising will deviate too far from the MGS formula. I really hope this turns out good but everything they say makes it sound worse and worse.
