RUMOR: Platinum Games In Charge For MGS Rising Development. Plus: MGS Series Goes Multiplatform

A reliable source told iWaggle3D today that the Raiden-centered MGS spin-off Metal Gear Solid Rising has switched developer, escaping Kojima Production to infiltrate Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Vanquish). Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya is apparently directing the game.

It wouldn't have that seriousness that MGS games are known for....but then again, we would have a balls-to-the-walls insane hack&slash game !

Sashamaz4738d ago

They f**ked up, this is what hideo kojima's tweet was about, I knew it. Platinum fail brought what kojima worked so hard on to the fast paced action pigs. This game is now just another B rate title, move along people and let this ship sink on its own.

No Way4738d ago

Hm, I don't believe Kojima ever worked on MGS Rising, if I'm not mistaken..
If I remember correctly, he didn't really want anything to do with the game.

So, I don't quite think that the game switching has to do with the tweet.
As the tweet was just for this past year, correct? I don't remember.

Iroquois_Pliskin4738d ago

wait wtf is this?? i am definitely not going to buy it if Kojima Productions arent going to develop it

pixelsword4738d ago

Wow. Kojima steps away, then his studio, the voices for Raiden and Snake aren't in it as well...

...What does that tell me?

unknownhero11234738d ago

it possibly won't be a true MGS title. however, if platinum games is making it then it might be fun gameplay wise.

ThanatosDMC4738d ago

"My name is Dante" all over again.

PirateThom4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

At least Kojima Productions are making it... right guys?

:-/

So, once again, why is this not a new IP?

PirateThom4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

Actually, the whole rumour on this page is too far-fetched. Rereleases of MGS games on Steam? MGS4 for PS3, 360, NGP and "possibly 3DS"? Like Kojima works on more than one platform at a time, let alone 4.

Solid_Malone4738d ago

yeah true, it'd be a nightmare to try and port a ps3 exclusive built from ground to be on PC

Arksine4738d ago

This would also explain Kojima's tweet about wasting a year.

kookie4738d ago

Good i guess because platinum games are good at making fast action games.

Neckbear4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

So, we might get a game instead of a movie.

Yay!

BlackTar1874738d ago

Yep no way we can get a little bit of both cause that would be a bad thing. Mixing to very liked and enjoyable medians is a bad thing.

every true MGS fan loved 4 its you people who are late adopters who are haters.

zgoldenlionz4738d ago

LOL and a good action game at that.

Dinesy4738d ago

Kojima confirmed last year there will be no movie as it would damage Metal Gear Solids image as a franchise.. Which is good, we don't want garbage like RE movies, nothing like the games at all, good action mind.

Dark_king4738d ago

Ignore him he means cut scenes.He is just not a MGS fan and is showing his ignorance.

ShAkKa4738d ago

Yeah, now instead of a movie we'll get a game with the length of one.

gunnerforlife4738d ago

nope now were going to get a 4 hour game with a non existent story.

Jack-H4738d ago

Grow up man. People are entitled to their opinions.

NarooN4738d ago

Why did you get so many disagrees? Butthurt MGS fanboys? Even diehard MGS fans know it's a fucking fact that pretty much all MGS games have more cutscenes than gameplay.

I've played and beaten all the MGS games (except Peace Walker, never got to the end, I'm gonna probably finish it finally when it comes out on PS3), and I know I spent more time watching cutscenes than playing the game.

While the cutscenes and codec calls are the main delivery of the story, and I didn't really mind the length of cutscenes in MGS1-3 (though they did sometimes stretch way too fucking long), MGS4 outdid every other game in the series in terms of cutscene length, and they even went so far as to pretty much get rid of codec, which was previously a great way to get 'hidden' backstory of various characters, places, events, etc. if you called at the right time.

On my 3rd playthrough of MGS4, I sat down and analyzed how much time I'd spent on it. Basically around 4 hours of gameplay and maybe 15+ hours of cutscenes.

The games are still fun to play to me, but the fact that anyone even dared to disagree with you on this pretty much just confirms how shitty of a community this site really is.

madjedi4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

@naroon I disagree with both of you, he calls it a movie and not a game. How exactly did you misinterpret that into him saying the cutscenes are longer than the gameplay.

It's called you putting words in his post that aren't actually there, sorry usually when i read a comment that looks like bullshit to me i call it as such.

That's not being a butthurt mgs fanboy, it's called having a fucking opinion that disagrees with you and others. Duh

"The games are still fun to play to me, but the fact that anyone even dared to disagree with you on this pretty much just confirms how shitty of a community this site really is." Yes dear god someone dared to have a different opinion than you and is likely looking at it, from an entirely different viewpoint on his post than you did. Damn drama queen.

You sure it's the community and not you that is the problem, people disagree for a variety of reasons and not every interpretation of a post is always accurate.

4 hrs of gameplay, yeah if your doing a speed run, even then it's closer to 5-6, so 8-12 for a normal run. Mgs isn't a series known for being lite on the story, so alot of people don't mind hrs+ of cutscenes.

If he was direct about it from a factual standpoint, then you would be correct since he was vague your not.

NarooN4737d ago

@madjedi

It's because it's painfully obvious that any time anyone calls MGS a movie rather than a game, they're talking about the length of cutscenes being much longer than the actual gameplay itself.

It's not an "opinion" that the cutscenes are longer than the gameplay. The only way it'll take longer than 6-10+ hours of actual gameplay on a fresh run on any MGS game is if it's your first video game ever. A speed run of MGS games can be anywhere between 2-4 hours.

I don't care if anyone disagrees with me on anything, but cutscenes generally being longer than the game itself isn't debatable.

No. They are working on Anarchy Reigns. The developers talked about how they are working with SEGA because they allow them to work on their own IPs. Why would they do development work for another franchise?

Raider694738d ago

Anarchy Reigns was delayed!They could be dividing resources to other projects.

SilverSlug4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

It is their first online game. Delays will happen.

Just because its delayed a few months does not mean they are working on a MGS title. Most likely delayed due to SEGA afraid to release a online focus title along with Modern Warfare 3 and BF3.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK5d ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

JL29304d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.

Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.

SimpleDad5d ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

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?"

shinoff218342d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel42d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia41d ago

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.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken100d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit
