I see Metal Gear somewhere in my top 3 franchises of all time (if not #1) and LOVE stealth but I also dig Platinum Games so despite the conflicts some are having like me I still have high hopes for it.

Heisenburger4154d ago

I am eagerly awaiting this demo.

Henshin A Go-Go Baby!

nukeitall4154d ago

Not for Xbox 360 owners. Were is our demo?

:(

Hicken4154d ago

On PS3. Where's your PS3?

nukeitall4154d ago

I have two PS3s, but neither of them with me. I'm stationed overseas and only took the console I use the most frequent with me.

Doesn't matter, Xbox 360 owners got no demo!

Zefros4154d ago

Will be awesome. Just don't look at it as a MG title. More like a hack and slash title with a solid story.

shempo4154d ago

its platinum games do you REALLY think they know anything about storytelling ?

yami9304154d ago

Thats why they are not doing the storytelling, Kojima Productions is. They are in charge of the story, they are writing the script, the codec dialouges, and are partly in charge of cutscenes.

Xklaw4154d ago

Where have you been? Kojima Productions are handling the storytelling and platinum the gameplay. The only input that PG had on story was the setting after MGS4. And even that is understandable, because if they wanted to create some crazy enemy, is easier to create after MSG4 and not be limited to the mgs2 and mgs4 time window. Such example can be given with that Ray with sword arms.

Demo is super fun. Don't listen to naysayers. There is a dodge (contrary to what some people have said.) There are two dodges actually, one offensive dodge where you swing the katana as you jump back which is handy for swatting grenades away.

There is a great parry system and even though the move set seems limited at first, there is already a ton of different cool stuff you can do that you wouldn't expect. Once blade mode clicks in your head it is novel and feels natural. I've been playing video games for a long time and I never imagined there would be anything like what we have now. This game is so fun.

I don't get the hate for this game. How is playing as a cyborg ninja not one of the greatest things ever? Oh, and it has a lock on unlike some other action games that limit your options by having the game decide who you should be dealing with.

Who would think that's better?

Deadpool6164154d ago

There's so much in that demo to try combat-wise I haven't even touched ZOE HD yet. I mainly got the collection for ZOE HD, but I didn't expect the demo would be so fun.

BlaqMagiq244154d ago

I played through it several times myself. I'm preordering it ASAP. I haven't had that much fun with a demo in years.

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_looken320d 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_looken319d 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.
