I was excited when it was announced Platinum Games took over because their games are gold (Bayonetta, Vanquish). But now development has been turned over to the Kinect Fruit Ninja guys, seriously, WTF!. This game is dead to me and many of my gamer friends.

Nyxus4412d ago

Huh? What are you talking about?

Whitefox7894412d ago

Uhhh are you being satirical? Are you perhaps referring to the initial Tech demo footage showed in 2010 with Raiden cutting Watermelons?

I mean if you go to the MG Rising website you should still see that Platinum Games still has its name all over the project.

Unless your just trolling....

Eamon4412d ago

DevilishSix, I present to you the 'best troll attempt of the year' award.

- The watermelon cutting was in a trailer before Platinum Games took over.
- The game isn't even about cutting fruit.

DevilishSix4412d ago

I would like to apologize, for some reason I was under the impression that Platinum Games was not developing this game anymore, but it seems I was wrong, which I am glad because Platinum Games is awesome.

Rolento4412d ago

There is nothing "stunning" about this pitiful excuse to cash in on the Metal Gear name by making a game that has nothing at all to do with Metal Gear. It should've been a new IP but Kojima has decided to finally kill it off by making a bunch of crappy rehashes and outsourcing his games to companies who make mediocre games.

J-Killer154412d ago

I wouldn't call a game that was in development hell, and was on the brink of being cancelled due to lack of cohesion, a "cash in." Lol people just want to bash P* because they're making a game under the Metal Gear IP. If hack-n-slash action games aren't for you and you'd prefer if Kojima Productions took a stealth approach for a Raiden game then fine, but don't let this situation be an excuse to bash one of the few Japanese developers of this generation who stayed true to themselves.

Whitefox7894412d ago (Edited 4412d ago )

I can only think he's impatient for the next MGS.

Btw you have clearly seen the Truth Behind Rising, kudos to doing your research.

Great comment J-Killer15.

I agree that Metal Gear Rising is not what a lot of fans were expecting. People were thinking of a ninja stealth game, myself included.

But it's now a proper hack n slash. And it's being developed by Platinum which is one of the few remaining decent Japanese developers out there.

And besides, it has Kojima's approval and he is the master. ;)

If he didn't think about handing over the project to Platinum it would have been cancelled instead.

Kahvipannu4412d ago

"..and outsourcing his games to companies who make mediocre games. "

Dude.. Platinum games are making this, they are awesome. Only reason I'm still interested in this title, and will propably pick it up is PG.

Ghost2504412d ago

PG are garbage just like all their games. Horrible studio

GameOn4412d ago

Then came along Bayonetta which rendered the Gaiden series obsolete.

archemides5184412d ago

if it's not the return of "cut at will", then it's not stunning.

BitbyDeath4412d ago

I sure hope Raiden dies at the end of this one.
Kill it with fire!

Kahvipannu4412d ago (Edited 4412d ago )

Lol, am I only one agreeing with this? I was damn happy *spoilers* to see him lose he's arms and die in MGS4, but yeah, Kojima didn't have the balls to have anything epic at the end, everybody got happy happy joy joy ending.. And raiden survived, got he's hands back, and, surprise, he's marriage back. Terrible ending oh my..

But Kojima isn't making the story for this, so maybe, just maybe, ending in this will have atleast some edge..

slixshot4412d ago

Platinum Games has proven to me (twice now) that they know how to make a kick ass game. If anyone was to take over Metal Gear Rising, I'm incredibly comfortable... no HAPPY, it's them.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion320d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken319d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501319d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken318d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992319d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion319d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic320d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne320d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B320d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
