7 things you need to know about Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Pete Willington on Made2Game.com. As with each MGS release to date, concrete details about what gamers can expect from the next instalment are scarce. But that’s not going to stop us writing about it. Here, then, are seven things we’ve gleaned from the titbits of information we currently do have about Kojima Production’s slice ‘em up…

The ps3 is the best version for some odd reason..

I wouldn't expect them to do a good job on other platforms but ps3 so no buy day 1! Unless it's 75% on steam..

LostDjinn4815d ago

Do you need an inflatable doughnut? You look like you're in pain.

OT: O_o

I'm glad "made2game.com" has had a chance to play the game through. To then share the knowledge of the seven most meaningful parts of the game with humanity...well *tears up*...I'm just so thankful.

You saved me from any sort of real gaming news in the time it took me to read this.

1. Raiden is a fag
2. This game would rock with move
3. Raiden is a fag
4. Snake....Snake!........SNAKEEE EEEE!
5. This isn't a true MGS game its a spin off.
6. PS3 Is the lead platform
7. Raiden is a fag

-DarkPhoenix-4815d ago

1) Stupid opinionated comment. Raiden haters are so goddamn stubborn.
2) I really don't want MG to go down the causal waggling theme, I'd rather rising didn't have any move at all, unless it was just sixaxis.
3) Raiden haters also seem to be 12 year olds who think they're funny by repeating the same thing in lists.
4) Right.
5) This is a true MGS game, even as much as I hate to say it, infact I've resorted to just calling it MG:Rising and leaving out the 'Solid' to give me a better feeling while it moves away from stealth gameplay, like Ac!d's titles.
6) Confirmed in an interview. Though I hardly expect it to be massively different, as a PS3 player I just don't care. I'll probably get this on PC too because possible texture mods. Grey Fox yay.
7) durr hurr hurr.

CYBERSNAKE4815d ago

You think that list is bad, check out nix's list below.

Apollyn4815d ago

What can I say I've always disliked raiden Even since his first appearance. There's just this thing about him I can't stand.

And yes PC mods would be an awesome reason to pick it up on PC.

The writer of this doesn't seem like he knows much about what he's saying.

But yeah, okay article I suppose. Just gave already well known facts to everyone, while making up some werid assumption about how there's acutally 49834 Raidens because of an art mistake, which was slyly corrected.
(seriously if it is about the fact there's cloned Raidens, MGS series would be totally thrown into a black hole for me and I'll spit on it, then cry and go back to Subsistence and the other good games.)

Nate-Dog4815d ago

About the eye-colour thing, a lot was made about that picture in the art that was released early, but it was confirmed to just be a mistake.

Iroquois_Pliskin4815d ago

Yeah, lol nice researching by the author

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nyxus2418d ago

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

TheVetOfGaming2418d 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.

Erik73572662d 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"

Utalkin2me2662d 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.

ravinash2662d 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.

JunMei2662d 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.

Bathyj2662d ago

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

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.

Nyxus3856d 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.

-Foxtrot3856d 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_BATT0USAI3856d 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.

-Foxtrot3856d ago

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

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

Dagobert3856d 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.

zeal0us3856d ago

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

ChipChipperson3856d ago (Edited 3856d 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.

Nyxus3856d 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.

Murad3855d 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.

ZBlacktt3856d ago (Edited 3856d 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.

TheDivine3855d 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.
