Do we believe MGS Rising on the PS3 will be the "better" version?…Even over the PC?

The other day GameFa reported by way of CVG that Shigenobu Matsuyama, one of two directors to play MGS: Rising, that Shigenobu actually said that the PS3 version of MGS: Rising is better than the other two versions! OTHER TWO VERSIONS!! as far as I

If its got move support of course its going to be the best version, and its probably lead platform so the pc will be a port.

BF3 will lead on PC, so get over it.

SMOK3xFFx4786d ago

The PC version needs Razer Hydra support then, it's only fair.

LunaticBrandon4786d ago

Even if its not official Hydra can be added. The PS3 version will not be better unless they purposely mess the PC version up.

AAACE54786d ago

Even though it's Kojima productions making it, I have to go with what has occured in the past. Multiplat games usually have issues when it comes to Ps3!

If Kojima productions can figure out a way to get around that and make all 3 games good, then who cares about which version is best!

MaxXAttaxX4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

I'm sure they're not just referring to the graphics or super high resolutions.

MintBerryCrunch4786d ago

why does everything have to deal with graphics...what they meant was that the PS3 will have more content since the MGS games have been on Playstation since PSX...so more story lines, different historical facts, in game scenes i presume that deal with past games...

evrfighter4786d ago

This games comin to pc? Who would have thought...

Meh

pixelsword4785d ago

Why is it that when a site like Gametrailers who has been caught putting out biased information that they are instantly believed, but when a developer states a fact that goes against what you believe, it's instantly wrong?

ProjectVulcan4785d ago (Edited 4785d ago )

If PS3 gets a bunch load more content than the other versions......maybe.

If not then no. The translation seemed to point to PS3's hardware as giving that version the edge- something which obviously a decent PC would have no trouble beating soundly. Which throws into question the original comment really and speculation of additional content. Problem is, its just from an offhand comment and as we all know subtlety can get lost in translation.

PC should get a few extra jobbies, probably at least 3D if PS3 gets move as is likely. Razer support would be interesting.

MGS2 was a little dated when it came to PC, but i was impressed with it when i played it in 1080p all those years ago, it blew the console versions into the weeds as you would expect as they were in SD. Hopefully rising will be a decent port.

LOL, better because of Move support?

That team built their engine around the PS3 so they are building the game off that, but don't believe those slippery words of 'PS3 has the power we need', if they were building it on PC they'd have a lot more power, we all know that.

elmaton984786d ago

Maybe so, but the mgs series has always been better on playstation because it's where the series started.

cereal_killa4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

elmaton98 I believe MGS started on Nintendo

@nolifeking thank you I ment to say the Metal Gear series started somewhere else I know MGS started on the original Playstation

No, it started on the msx. Plus, MGS did start on the PS1.

I am happy with dawn of war 2, duke, some battlefield and the better version of crysis 2.

This just sounds like mentally disturbed xbox fans are becoming pc gamers LOL.

@tretton
Do you even game on pc? Dont see you talking about steam etc

The game revolves around sword swipes literally if you dont think that is a good fit for move you probably havent tried it.

I'm a metal gear fan...I own everyone of them and I would buy it on PC just for the higher res,AA, and framerate alone...besides I'd rather play with a Novint Falcon than a move controller...

No I don't game on PC (modern games anyway), that doesn't mean I have to look at life blindly like the PS3 is my religion that I must meaninglessly support. Truth is my religion.

Death24944786d ago

how many people actually believed this title was coming to the pc. I highly doubt a pc version is in the works given that Konami doesn't have it on it's website.

CVG will do anything to discredit anyone who paints ps3 in a positive light. They were first one to claim that Killzone3 had only 5hrs of SP campaign. I've been gaming for awhile and I've have yet to see the Metal Gear Solid franchise on the PC without an emulator.

Mr Tretton4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

It's been widely known for a long time that there will be a PC version.

MGS1 and 2 were released on PC, those weren't emulators.

@Biggest, google 'Metal Gear Solid Rising PC'

Biggest4786d ago

THANK YOU! It took this long for someone to mention this fact. You can't pre-order the PC version. . . Because there is no PC version. I was wondering the same thing in the first thread about this issue. Some of the usual suspects are even starting down the "It's gonna suck anyway" path after being happy as pie when it was first announced. The game is not on the PC. Naturally, the people that already made a PS3 MGS will make another to be at least just as good. The original is unmatched by the 360. The new version will probably explain why.

Death24944786d ago

Sorry bro, but just because you can google something doesn't make it true. You can goole "Halo ps3" but that doesn't mean that Halo is on the ps3. You also just posted mock ups of fan made cover art. It's not hard to take the cover art of the original MGS and place common PC logos that you find on PC games cover art. Anyone with GIMP or Photoshop can do this no problem. I'm pretty sure that every search you find with " MGS Pc" is probably is in some forum.

Who cares? As long as all versions of the game are great I don't care if pc version looks better, Pc will always have better graphics but I have most of my friends on ps3 so I get all my games on ps3 and I don't have a gaming pc that can play the newer games.

Folezicle4786d ago

If the gameplay is better suited for controllers, then yeh.. Otherwise Sony would have had to have cut some deal. Simple the horsepower of some computers will always top consoles

LunaticBrandon4786d ago

How hard is it to plug a controller into a PC?

Folezicle4786d ago

Touche... Well in that case I'd assume that Sony would of had to have gotten involved for it to top the PC performance and/or graphics wise.

radphil4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

How many people that game on PC have a gamepad on hand? Regardless of the fact that gamepads are cheap, how many actually go out and get them over kb&m on most PC games? The only other ones are those that own either a wired 360 controller or a PS3 controller, and even then how many of those users at that point decide to get PC versions of most games?

It doesn't always relate to graphics in terms of overall quality.
Yes PC gaming has very strong points over console, but lets get serious here. If a dev FOCUSES on a SPECIFIC platform, it's going to perform better than the others.

Theonetheonly4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

Radphil.

I have no wired controllers just ps3 controllers
and i use them just fine to game on my pc.

when it seems to work better than a kb or mouse
or when i want to play laying down.
either way if a game is available for more than one system i would ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTIONS choose to get the pc version it uses all of the pixels on my monitor. and it plays smoothly with no slowdowns.

the only games i have for ps3 is gt5 heavy rain and kz2. the best of the best the system has to offer.

radphil4785d ago (Edited 4785d ago )

@reedbananaboat

The point i'm getting across is that there's people out there that focus on console gaming, that haven't touched PC gaming, and vice-versa. Too many people just think that because they don't apply to the situation that everyone else doesn't either.

Plus it's not always true of the PC version of games being better than console. I can think of a few capcom games that I was disappointed with in terms of their performance for example. Chaos Legion was one.

clarkdef4785d ago

Yeah it's pretty annoyihng plugging my Ps3 controller into a PC and stuffing around with Motioninjoy, that doesn't actually seem to work for some reason.

Everything PC is bloody annoying. I just sold my good HW and downgraded to some simple parts that can still browse, but are very quiet while doing it.

PC can go stuff it now, I'm sticking to consoles.

ProjectVulcan4785d ago (Edited 4785d ago )

360 controller is fairly common on PC now. Who says that a controller is required for the game anyway? Who says that a controller is going to be the best way to control this game either? Why would a controller instantly be the automatic best choice for this game?

I like to have the choice. If PC gives the choice between controller options and keyboard, mice whatever then it certainly wouldn't be anything to do with control methods, as Pc would like it often does have the best of all worlds. Personal preference may be one or the other but if you have both then everyone is happy. Previous MGS games on PC have had pad support. So its all cool.

Its usually true the PC versions win technically. As the consoles are so old i doubt there are many worries over performance. Chaos legion for example came only a few years after PS2 was out, and PC gamers expected to run it in resolutions massively outstripping the SD PS2 era of the time. So the performance gap between the platforms had not widened quite as much and the demands of PC relative to console was far higher. Most demanded at least 1024 x 768 from a game that pushed a not very old console @ 640 x 480.

The reasons that Ps3 might be the best version are more likely to just be personal ones, like plug and play. Technically i doubt hugely any console version can be the best after all these years since their launch now.

Instinct_Gamer4785d ago

If PC's are so great then why not just abandon consoles altogether?

You all need to understand not everyone thinks and feels the same. I for one have never liked gaming on PC's, it just never felt right. Maybe the graphics are better, so people say, but for me it about gameplay, accessibility, and convenience.

PC's have to be updated and age rather quickly. They are also, in my experience, less stable over all and frustrating to use. A console turns on quickly and you are gaming in pretty much less than a minute, PC's take minutes just to boot up, some worse than others.
Then maybe your PC decides it gonna not do what you say, or take 4 minutes just to open a program.

I mean you never had to wait 4 minutes for Windows to open up internet explorer? That shit is frustrating. I can imagine how long it must take for games to boot up...

Computersaysno4785d ago (Edited 4785d ago )

Preference is fine Instinct Gamer. I have no problem with people saying they prefer console because they simply feel like it, or because its easier to setup, because i don't think there is any argument there.

However please do not pull down PC if you don't really have all the facts. It seems like you have not used a PC to game for a long time, or even used a PC at all for many years. Times have moved on a fair bit, its clearly not like console but its been streamlined a lot in the past ten years thanks to clients like steam and easier to use, slicker, more stable operating systems and compliant hardware.

I will also vehemently dispute the idea that to play games on a computer you have to upgrade it so regularly, its a fallacy and a lie. Once your gaming computer is faster than a console then it'll stay faster than the console until a new generation hits. Being able to by choice makes upgrading a plus point and an advantage, not a disadvantage.

Your final conclusion is that you can only imagine how long games take to boot while claiming that programmes can take ages to open. Not that you actually KNOW how long games take to boot, only imagine.

Well having had a great deal of personal experience i can tell you that windows is so very stable these days and i have never, ever had to wait minutes to open a browser, nor more than a few seconds for a game to launch inside the operating system. If you did deal with computers a little more often these days, you too would come up with these same conclusions, i am sure.

ravinash2633d 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.

JunMei2633d 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.'

Agent20093827d 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.

Nyxus3827d 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.

-Foxtrot3827d 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_BATT0USAI3827d 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.

-Foxtrot3827d ago

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

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

Dagobert3827d 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.

zeal0us3827d ago

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

ChipChipperson3827d ago (Edited 3827d 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.

Nyxus3827d 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.

Murad3827d 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.

TheDivine3827d 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.
