Three things Platinum Games could do to vastly improve Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance [TGV]

It’s no secret that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is easily the best title 2013 has seen so far and far and above Platinum Games‘ best work, but it’s not quite perfect. Damn close, though!

After careful thought and knowing that little can be done to rework the story, cheesy as it might be, here’re three suggestions to the fine people at Platinum to take an already great title into Ripper Mode.

Anyone that thinks this was better than the new DMC needs to get their head checked. This game is the ultimate button basher, I completed the whole game under 5 hours. No skills required.
It's not a bad game but certainly not as good as DMC.

Kanzes4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

no skill required? do you really think you can beat all the bosses without learning how to parry?

Genuine-User4075d ago

I agree, you can't but parrying is probably the final thing on my skill list. Point towards the enemy and press the square button, as easy as that.

Temporary4075d ago

lol...Genuine played it on Casual Baby difficulty. Cause I beat it on hard, and currently working on Very Hard, and it's not NEARLY as easy as he says.

Yeah once you get used to the parrying system it gets easier (duh), but it's NOWHERE near as easy as you make it sound. You're just talking garbage to make yourself look competent on the internetz... cheers to you mate. Keep lying.

oriononer4075d ago

S rank Revengeance mode and then talk to me about skills.

Genuine-User4075d ago

That's a fallacious argument. The fact remains, this game can be completed by button bashing.
Except parrying of course.

oriononer4075d ago

So your point is that it can be completed by button mashing, but also can't be completed by button mashing...hmmmm.

SAE4075d ago

Go squeeze your self. That's just your opinion. I prefer this game so i don't need to check anything. I completed DMC and i don't want to play it again but i still want to play rising again. I feel like i still didn't play it . Good feeling i didn't get it for a long time ago...

oriononer4075d ago

Rising has awesome replay value. Most people don't realize that with Platinum games your first play through is really just to level up and get a feel for the game. The real meat of their games is in the higher difficulties and the exploration of the subtleties of their systems. A disappointing amount of gamers these days rush their way through normal mode without exploring what's there and then try to spout off about difficulty and such.

This game is a call back to an old school sensibility that I have missed since DMC 3. Monsoon alone is a more interesting battle than anything encountered in Ninja Theory's reboot. I love this game. Now please Platinum, just patch in weapon swapping and I'll be a happy camper.

i preferred the demo to revengeance more than dmc. that said they were both excellent demos and both seem like killer games. i will def pick them both up later this year

HiddenMission4075d ago

@Genuine

Fact remains you can button mash in DmC for a win...just depends on the difficulty settings...see what I did there I turned your own argument against you.

No skill really some one really loves him some DmC and hates everything else lol

It's a great hack n slash, the only thing I disliked a bit was the camera....maybe if they put the view a bit further it could be an improvement, but it's a very fun game anyways.

KillrateOmega4075d ago

The only problem that I had with the game was camera and even that was only occasionally. Just beat the game and it was an awesome, high-octane experience.

I liked the story and the way it was written. It worked well for the over-the-top craziness of the game.

Convas4075d ago

'Dat Armstrong fight! O.O'

KillrateOmega4075d ago

I know, right? It was so ridiculous and epic! The music (The War Still Rages Within) only added to awesomeness :)

KillrateOmega4075d ago

Sorry, I put down the wrong song. It's really 'It Has To Be This Way'. My bad.

RazMaTaz01214075d ago

Dmc over this? A game made by a british piss poor 'pint of lager' studio ran by the chav known as Tameem? DmC is already a short lived title. It sold poorly. It had alot of promises behind it by the devs which didnt materialise, the games true ending lies within the DLC of vergils, and its a game many didnt even want. MGR is a worthy game, yes, its not the most conventional title but it is a spin off, unlike Capcom who have now rebooted an excellent series to a POS chav fest. MGR is a quality game all round, excellent action, and plentiful of replay value, and plentiful of fun. Dmc was just platforming repetitionn that killed majority of the instinct of the 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.

senorfartcushion323d 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_looken323d ago

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

Z501323d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken322d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992323d 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

senorfartcushion323d ago

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

RaveTears323d ago (Edited 323d 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_drake324d ago (Edited 324d 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.

Flawlessmic324d 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.

Soulsborne323d ago

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

Terry_B323d 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.
