The internet is what keeps publishers/devs/companies/poli ticians on their toes. Its so easy to get information these days.

If gamers get even the slightest whiff that something is off..then they will make sure their voice is heard. If it wasn't for the internet, Cole would have had hair in Infamous 2 and Kratos wouldn't be in MK9.

If it wasn't for the Internet, we wouldn't know about how Obama's drone strikes have been killing innocents or that Romney bullied gay kids in prep school.

We use the internet to read reviews that help us determine what products we buy, what restuarants/bars we go to, which doctors we go to etc.

Don't care what anyone says, the Internet has done more good than harm.

If theres misinformation out there, then its up to the devs/publisher to clear up that misinformation. We're spending SIXTY DOLLARS on games these days. Devs/publishers should CONSTANTLY be trying to give us the right information...just like the one in this article is doing.

Dude... we are talking about a video games clear time... simmer down a bit... he was joking

I mean hack and slash games tend to be 5-10 ish hours long, its replay ability that adds value

Im picking up revengeance day 1

Hell today I learned that you can dodge in this game

LOGICWINS4089d ago

Joke or not(frankly I don't care), I said what I needed to say.

Omar914089d ago

@nimblest

you can dodge in Rising?! seriously? I tried in the demo and never found out how

LOGICWINS4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

There are MANY things you can do in Rising that the demo doesn't really explain too well.

-Force push(quickly flicking L3 left to right)

-Stealth kills(you can also stealth kill mechs)

-Dodging(I knew about dodging, but just yesterday I learned that you can use it to dodge Bladewolf's super attack)Dodge is X + Square.

-Apparently you can juggle enemies too. Haven't figured out how to do that yet.

MoveTheGlow4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

It's up to users to share info, I agree, but it's up to journalists to investigate and expand upon that initial info if need be. As it happened in this case, for instance - those were high scores, and it's pretty much confirmed at this point that this is a high-score kind of game, which makes me undue kinds of excited about it. So yes, I agree, this article is doing just that!

"If it wasn't for the Internet, we wouldn't know about how Obama's drone strikes have been killing innocents or that Romney bullied gay kids in prep school."

Nope. Even if we only had paper, that news would be on old-time broadsides, distributed on the streets and on college campuses, and the publishers would make a killing. Publishers would know via telegraph, carrier pigeon, whatever technologies you want to include or disclude when you get rid of the Net as it is.

This will be the first Platinum Games title, I will support day one.

Batzi4089d ago

It's P* + Kojima Productions

Godchild10204089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

I know. But that doesn't change the fact it will be the first Platinum Games title I buy day one. I bought Kojima Production's titles day one before, hence why they weren't mention in my original post.

Not trying to come off arrogant or anything.

Batzi4089d ago

Don't worry :P Just making sure you knew :P

GaySkull4089d ago

that makes it doubly awesome!

showtimefolks4089d ago

P-Games one thing but what I am excited about is the fact Kojima productions taking care of story aspects. So we know the story will be good and coming from P games combat should be good too

Godchild10204089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

Its like getting the best of both worlds.

franwex4089d ago

First Platinum Games I supported day one was Vanquished! I loved the demo that much!

scofios4089d ago

Vanquish is platinum but created by Shinji Mikami father of the real resident evil.

yami9304089d ago

Just like LOGICWINS said devs / publishers should constantly be trying to give us the right information and I'm glad Platinum is trying to tell people themselves the game is longer than the stats chart shows it to be, because sometimes people dont take the time to think about anything they read, they just read / see something and automatically take it as truth negative or not and either set themselves up for disappointment or mistake something for being worse than it actually may be. I'm sure Metal Gear Rising is going to be a great game, have a good length to it and very good amount of replayability which satisfies me.

LOGICWINS4089d ago

I'll buy it along with with Ascension. It should be $30 or $40 by then.

Genuine-User4089d ago

It won't. The time between the release of Rising and Ascension is less than a month.

LOGICWINS4089d ago

Well either way, I'm getting it lol.

admiralvic4089d ago

You realize that you're doing the EXACT same thing right?

For starters, a good portion of comments towards the image mentioned they either skipped cutscenes or they weren't included in the total. Now that this has been confirmed, it means the game will take longer to beat, but no clue how much longer. If we go off past Metal Gear game, then we could VERY easily see 5+ hours of cutscenes. However if we go off Platinum Games history, we might be looking at an hour of two of cutscenes. The simple fact is that we don't know.

We also know the game only tracks your fastest clear time, but looking at the persons 59 deaths, its hard to tell what happened. On one hand it's completely possible that they rushed every situation and died, but it's also possible that they're just simply awful at the game. In either case we yet again don't really know...

These tweets do nothing but clarify the information, which is great, but doesn't really explain much. While I don't personally mind the length (because PG typically makes good games), I suggest anyone that isn't sure to wait till others confirm their clear times.

BanBrother4089d ago

Lol same things happens with a lot of games. Halo 4 didn't count the cut-scene times in the total time played either. You'd think people would have figured that out, but imstead think they are some super gamer who beats everything'in 2 seconds lol.

The game looks pretty cool so far. I love cut-scenes anyway, which means I'm in the minority sadly.

franwex4089d ago

I'm not sure why the developer thinks this is bad press. That's a pretty reasonable time for the first time through. I'm sure the game is meant to be played over again too due to the rating system given out at the end.

jetlian4089d ago

you got people like logicwins who make a stink about it and is now trying to play it off when made to look the fool. "Ooh the internet does more good than bad."

its normal game time for this type of game.

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.

senorfartcushion324d 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_looken324d 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_looken323d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992324d 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.

RaveTears324d ago (Edited 324d 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.

gold_drake325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

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.
