First Look: Metal Gear Rex Collectible

The Metal Gear series has shown us a lot of enemies over the course of its 25-year run, and now, Kotobukiya has revealed its upcoming model kit depicting one of the most bad-ass: Metal Gear Rex, which was first introduced in 1998's Metal Gear Solid.

Just in time for a Christmas gift for myself. I wish I had a desk job to display it though :/

KillerPwned4237d ago

$80 but holy shit this looks amazing....I might actually buy it lol.

Blacktric4237d ago (Edited 4237d ago )

I thought this was the 400 dollar one again. If it is 80 bucks I am getting it for sure.

Edit: http://www.play-asia.com/Me...

It's 99 bucks on Play-Asia.

KillerPwned4237d ago

I hope it will be sold on the Konami store as I do not wanna play around $120 with shipping.

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4237d ago

:( I'd rather a life size replica, but hey this'll do :b

sikbeta4237d ago

This is kind of the only thing I'd buy for collection, I really don't care about collectables like dolls and all that stuff, But a MGRex is simply awesome!

Yui_Suzumiya4237d ago

Please include with a collector's edition of Ground Zero ;)

If Sony was to announce a MGS remake made by Bluepoint that will be beyond epic.

Babadook71253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

Isn't this just the red dragons roar?

mrsolidsteel201253d ago

@GaboonViper

Hope not, then you will never be able to play it ;)

bouzebbal1252d ago

MGS remake would be the best thing ever.. Let them hopes up!!!

Nyxus1253d ago

Not getting my hopes up yet, it is Konami after all, but it would indeed be awesome.

Viking_mo1253d ago

But remember the rumours about Sony buying some of their IPs. If anything, this fuels it now

jukins1253d ago

Well Kojima won't be involved so Konami will probably give the ok. They're really bitter towards Kojima sony not so much.

Sonic-and-Crash1252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

@viking can you show me the link about these rumors ?? (that sony bought some IPs) ...would be huge if MGS is Sony exclusive

Pretentious1252d ago

Just imagine. They announce MGS Remake, as well as a Silent Hill reboot (this has been rumored to show up at the Game Awards). That would just leave Castlevania and Suikoden to resurrect. I'm mad a Konami just like everyone else, but I think it's about time they bounced back.

PS1 iso version or Gamecube Twin Snake version?

whateverman1253d ago

PS1 for the true experience.

mrsolidsteel201253d ago

@Z501

Twin Snakes was/is a masterpiece in its own right . I think a lot of people hate the game because it never came over to any of the Sony systems. Which is understandable, because the game didn’t sell that well being exclusive on the Gamecube.

CosmicTurtle1253d ago

I own Twin Snakes. I don’t think it is the best version. Nothing to do with what system it came out on. I was really excited for it at the time, the mechanics just felt incongruous with the design from my perspective. But if that is your preferred version then I get that entirely. In contrast the GameCube Resident Evil remake was astounding and I far prefer it to the original. I wish they’d done that with 2.

Rocketisleague1253d ago

Preferred re2 remaje to re1 remake but 1 was petty damn good update. Depends on how deep lot the want to modernise the gameplay, personally I'd love to see a fully updated mgs 1 with newer mechanics

Flan1253d ago

It will be epic if the remake Metal Gear 2 (MSX) solid snake vs Venom snake

Pretentious1252d ago

Really, they could remake any MGS, 1 - 4, and people would be ecstatic.

savedsynner1253d ago

Agreed 10000000%. MGS is the perfect game to receive a full on remake. It's a beloved franchise it's IP owners are going nothing with right now. It would really benefit from modern gameplay improvements, it's been largely a Playstation exclusive series for the first run titles(not counting the hd collection or the remaster for gamecube or the OG NES/MSX games). They wouldn't even have to re record everything. The voice acting more than holds up today.

I think we are going to see alot more of these full remakes, ala what Disney is doing. Many of them, if they are done even remotely well, should be good sellers and they require a lower budget from the studio.

Rocketisleague1253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

So like...a resident evil 2 style remake or a graphical update/bluepoint remake? Id rather a new gameplay system to be honest. Bluepoint haven't needed to really design a game from the ground up yet just smaller updates or graphical enhancements.

It's time for a real mgs remake imo

GaboonViper1253d ago

Can it be, can it really be true, MGS remake from the ground up???, if so i think i would actually cry with happiness, all i would need then is a Dino Crisis reboot and i could die happy.

Snookies121253d ago

There was a rumor a short while ago that MGS was getting a full remake. So, here's hoping it's actually true! I just hope we get the original Encounter music back for boss fights. It's one of the few reasons I didn't like Twin Snakes back in the day. That, and the change in voice actor for Grey Fox.

Nyxus1253d ago

Personally I prefer TTS's voice for Gray Fox as you could clearly hear in the original that it was the same voice actor as the DARPA Chief.

GaboonViper1253d ago

Yeah RedTechGaming is the source of that rumour, his track record is solid 😀 so fingers crossed.

Rocketisleague1253d ago

Big step for bluepoint to do a full remake. Do they even have gameplay designers at bluepoint? I'm a little confused as I thought they focus on updating games graphically and/or sound? Yhey dont normally design games, gameplay systems/ mechanics/ stories etc

Nacho_Z1253d ago

@Rocketisleague

As you say we don't know yet how they'd do with a Resi 2 type remake, but if the ones they've done so far have been a test of sorts they've passed with flying colours. The next logical step is for them to take on a more ambitious remake that requires more original thinking.

Rocketisleague1253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

Yes nacho...Or perhaps an original game? Again I'm not sure what expertise or budget bluepoint generally receive, one would assume it's pretty focused around graphical and performance integrity. Budget I imagine are smaller since they're remakes and remasters. Call it easy money for Sony, many people love to play older games. On sonys side they can charge full price now for games on smaller budget than a full new game.

It depends entirely on what don't expects put of it if it goes the way of resi 2 remake.or ff7 remake.probably a bigger studio would do it.

I.womder how much.demons souls cost, graphical updates aside the music and voice acting was done.again too. They wouldnt need art designers, writers, story boards etc. Vrry curious around this procees

ClayRules20121253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

Breathtaking, isn’t it?😂

SullysCigar1253d ago

Lmao get a room you two!

Joking aside, I hope this is hinting at something big!

OMG i just had a thought, could you imagine how BP could use Tempest audio and DualSense for Psyco Mantis boss fight.😮😮

fr0sty1253d ago

Add to that the ability to scan PSN for what games you've played, your trophies, when you play most often, enabling your playstation camera or mic... there's so many more ways that the fourth wall can be broken now, a psycho mantis battle could be made truly epic today.

IanTH1253d ago

The PSN info on games played or trophies earned, things like that, I'm sure would be totally fine. I have the feeling they wouldn't mess around with enabling your camera or mic, though. I can see people being uncomfortable with that, and I could see it creating a bunch of negative press. It would be awkward to know a game could just switch on your camera whenever it wants to without your permission lol.

camel_toad1253d ago

The Psycho Mantis fight and when Campbell hinted to look on the back of your cd case for the codec frequency.... People who turn their noses up to Kojima are questionable human beings.

ginsunuva1252d ago

And what you did on the internet with your cookies

Black-Helghast1252d ago

bruh if that shit turns my camera on and I'm naked...I'd be very happy
