Platinum Games: MGR: Revengeance is a real Metal Gear game

Metal Gear Fan: ummmmm no its not, Ground Zeroes is....

Irishguy954198d ago

Judging by the article, the producer doesn't know what people mean when they say it ain't a Metal Gear game. He thinks they mean it offensively that it is not up there in terms of quality, when people simply mean, it's not a Stealth/shooter. It's an Action/Hack and slash game.

Everyone who likes Action games can tell this game is already up there if not better than the rest quality wise, compared with Bayonetta, god of war, Dmc etc. The Producer should just learn what Metal Gear fans are talking about and he should realize this game may not appeal to MGS fans if they don't like Hack and Slash games like Bayonetta, God of war etc. Although Some MGS fans don't like it simply because it's called Metal gear. Which is a bit stupid but whatever. If you wanna pass on a great game because of it's name go right ahead

RivetCityGhoul4198d ago

how the hell do you know its so great you more than likely never even played it. i guess its just that platinum games fanboy propaganda again. oohhh platnium makes the best games EVAR... every time platinum makes a game i jizz my pants. -_- whatever dude

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is set in the Metal Gear universe. Therefore, it is a Metal Gear game.

Is it a "Metal Gear Solid" game? No. Because it doesn't involve the protagonist Snake.

Is it a "Metal Gear" game? Yes. Because it's set in the same Universe/World of the previous Metal Gear games, but loosely associated with them within that saga. Which is why this game has been called a spin-off for the longest time.

If you don't like Action/Hack and Slash games then it's your prerogative to ignore this game. This game was made to set Raiden apart from Snake's story and let him be his own character with full focus on Raiden. It's no longer Snake's battle, since Snake won his war. But a war won doesn't mean there won't be other wars to fight. This is Raiden's war that he has to deal with, without Snake this time.

Eamon4198d ago

RivetCityGhoul, I've played Metal Gear Rising and I can confirm it's amazing and beats Bayonetta at least.

lilmetal4198d ago

@Deadpool: The "Solid" in Metal Gear meant that the games were in 3D, I'm pretty sure.

Also, Raiden also held the codename "Snake" in MGS2, so in a way, Rising still involves a Snake.

I don't know how to tell you this but Yuji Korekado doesn't work for Platinum games. He works for Kojima Productions.

I think he also happens to be the man Kojima tasked with creating Metal Gear Rising in the first place.

This article should be removed for misinformation, this is most likely deliberate. A poor attempt to discredit the game's creators and ruffle the feathers of Snake fanboys, who never bother to read into things before blindly insulting them.

Remember when they said MGR was a button masher, hack and slash, had no stealth elements or any real story to speak of? where did they get such information if not from their own asses? They'll do the same when they read this. They'll instantly assume this is the word of Platinum and spread blind hate.

lilmetal4198d ago

I consider myself a huge Metal Gear fan, but I know that Platinum Games has only ever created amazing games.
I've no doubt this'll be another one, even if it doesn't play like a typical MGS game.

solidboss4198d ago

but still an awesome game none the less. coming from a big mgs fan im glad raiden has his own spin-off title. i still feel like this game could of been more than an action hack and slash game, but im happy to get it the way it is.

camel_toad4198d ago

Yep longtime mgs fan too 'n major stealth fan but I've got no problem with revengeance. Looks real fun.

OCEANGROWNKUSH4198d ago

It exists therefore it is real

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.

senorfartcushion325d 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_looken325d ago

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

Z501324d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken324d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992325d 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

senorfartcushion324d ago

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

RaveTears325d ago (Edited 325d 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.

Flawlessmic325d 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.

Soulsborne325d ago

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

Terry_B325d 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.
