This actually looks pretty well done. But damn, I totally thought a new game was announced =(

"Escape from New York City" ?
That would be an absurdly random name for a Metal Gear game. lol

@Vashlion

Not as random as you would think. ;)

Actually, Solid Snake is modeled after Kurt Russell's character in Escape from New York, Snake Plissken.

Remember Snake's alias in MGS2? "Iroquois Pliskin?"

Escape from New York is an 80's action movie directed by John Carpenter.

Can you guys not sully the good name of Metal Gear with this stuff? please?

Sheikh Yerbouti4641d ago

Wasn't Snake based off Snake Pilskin from Escape from New York, y'know the actual movie?

I guess rooster come home to roost.

consolez_FTW4641d ago

He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.

Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.

i also has mixed feelings about Raiden.. First reason was because I didn't even know he was the main character in the game (I only bought gaming magazines once in a while) and I had a MGS 2 demo in the bunker which was starring Snake.
Second reason I won't say he is uninteresting but just overshadowed by Snake.. the gameplay in the end of the game with the double analog sticks saber slicing was nice and I liked Raiden for that reason (improved in MGS Rising).

Playing with Solid Snake was just a wow moment every time in comparison.. Only Naked Snake could stand against Solid Snake for me..

He definitely grew on me as the game progressed but I was initially pissed because I was expecting to play as Snake. It was the old bait-and-switch lol.

Becuzisaid81d ago

Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.

shinoff218381d ago

I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days

I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
