E309: New Render Show Raiden Has Guts

Newly expanded render shows how different Raiden has become from what he looked like in Metal Gear Solid IV

WildArmed5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

I hope we get to play a lil' bit of Snake.
MGS2 was redeemable coz of its amazing story n since u get to play as Plisskin.

I think Kojima will make this game worth while ^^ like he always does!

-------SPOILLERRRR----------
Doesn't Raiden turn back human at the end of MGS4, I remember that :/
He looks his cyborg body.. (unless they cover that up with skin this time)
----------SPOILER END-------

Foxgod5462d ago

Plisskin ? :) isnt that the guy from Escape from LA :)

ThaGeNeCySt5462d ago

********************SPOILER*** *******************

From what I remember.. He didn't look like a cyborg anymore in the hospital... but then again.. he also did lose both of his arms only for them to be there and working properly in the end when his son and wife came to visit... maybe he's still a cyborg? Or maybe they gave him some nanomachines akin to Vamp's that allow for rapid and mega healing... who knows

************END SPOILER*************

cyberwaffles5462d ago

lol do you mean Escape from New York Bay? and yes, snake chose his alias to be Plisskin since his character is based off of kurt russell from the movie.

Panthers5462d ago

spoiler

I believe he was still cyborg, just with parts that looked human. I am guessing they are interchangeable.

Sangria5462d ago

SPOILERS
Tokugawa Industry (or something like that) supplied Raiden with limbs, but we don't know what kind of relationship they have. He has new arms at the end of MGS4 but he also has a wife and a son, just like Snake, Raiden is destined to stop fighting and risking his life to start a real normal life.

Which means MGS:R is either with the old Raiden before MGS4 (and after MGS2), to know what happened to him to become a ninja (and maybe his relationship with Tokugawa Industry), either this is not Raiden (and in that case, it may be Olga. She died in MGS2, but remember that Frank Jaeger died too, and reappeared in a cyborg ninja in MGS).

mt5462d ago

is set to be before MGS:4 , and how Raiden became a cyborg.

PirateThom5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

I think the most obvious answer to the Raiden question is that it's a spin-off and not related to the story.

It can't be a true sequel, it's probably more likes Snake's Revenge or Ghost Bable, alternate histories.

The loss of the eye, the things on his head? Not in MGS4 at all.

bujasem_895462d ago

that rising is basically between mgs4 and 2 i think it will show us how raiden becama this way and why ''spin off'' or lets say side story

shadow27975462d ago

-----SPOILER WARNING -------------------

At the end of MGS4, you can clearly see the bolts in his skin, he's still a cyborg, but with these limbs he looks less... scary. My guess is that he tries to be as human as possible when he's not ninja-ing it up.

Also, I'm guessing Rising comes after MGS4, based on his upgrades, eye color, missing eye, etc. Perhaps his son gets kidnapped?

We'll see.

-----SPOILER WARNING --------------------

rockleex5462d ago

Is the picture of his guts? O_o

Panthers5462d ago

I wonder why they changed his eye color. They could say "oh well his eyes were replaced or whatever because he is a cyborg" but if thats true, then why in the hell is he missing one.

ChampIDC5462d ago

Yeah, with the eye change, it's impossible to know if it's Raiden or not at the moment. Guess we'll find out in due time.

Also, I find it quite funny when people call it MGS: Raiden.

badass on MGS4.

Especially the scenes with Vamp and Gekko.

StanLee5462d ago

Seriously, Raiden was the absolute star of MGS4. He totally stole the stage from Snake.

Game13a13y5462d ago

the only beef i have with Raiden is his finger nails. otherwise, he looks like a complete badass.

Wolfie5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

Me too

cyberwaffles5462d ago

was a little disappointed for kojima's decision on raiden's character design. a little too feminine, but i'm sure he did it because of the slightly homoerotic fight scene between him and vamp, but i have issues with that too. dammit.

cyberwaffles5462d ago

this game isn't hack n slash. the ending of MGS2 with raiden and his sword wasn't that fun. i still prefer to use guns. the nightmare mini hack n slash game in MGS3 was fun however.

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

TheVetOfGaming2420d 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.

Utalkin2me2664d 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.

ravinash2664d 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.

JunMei2664d 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.'

Agent20093858d 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.

Nyxus3858d 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.

-Foxtrot3858d 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_BATT0USAI3858d 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.

-Foxtrot3858d ago

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

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

Dagobert3858d 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.

zeal0us3858d ago

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

ChipChipperson3858d ago (Edited 3858d 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.

Nyxus3858d 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.

Murad3857d 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.

ZBlacktt3858d ago (Edited 3858d 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.

TheDivine3857d 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.
