Metal Gear Solid Rising leaked trailer, game made by Platinum Games

Check out the VGA trailer for Metal Gear Solid Rising.

[Lavalamp]

Platinum Games! You have my hype!

[blaaah]

Platinum developed madword right? Don't get me wrong, it was a good game.. but no where near the standards of Kojima's Metal Gear.

EDIT:
Oh how wonderful, teh videoz was claimed by da copyrightz!

[Lavalamp]

Platinum developed Madworld, Bayonetta, and Vanquish. I'd say they are definitely the right team for this sort of game. And for the purists, they dropped the 'Solid' tag, so let's all enjoy the campy spinoff.

[Parapraxis]

Platinum made Vanquish, That's enough to make me very interested. Now I am super-psyched for MG Rising.
TPS fans who have skipped out on Vanquish need to get it asap. Throw it on your christmas lists, it can probably be found for a good price.
(People who disagree have not played Vanquish)

[gaffyh]

Ok so just watched it, and being a huge fan of MGS games, I'm not impressed. Platinum Games make games with great gameplay, but their stories ALWAYS suck (going back to DMC1 even, which was a great game), and this looks exactly the same. MGS is all about story, but they've totally chees-ified it. Even the colours and the environments look nothing like a Metal Gear game, as it's overall a little too bright.

I'll probably still play it, but I doubt it will feel like an MGS. It looks more like Ninja Gaiden+Bayonetta.

[MaxXAttaxX]

It's the same engine, right?
http://gamingeverything.com...
They probably downgraded it to make it multiplatform.

[Blacktric]

Wow seriously? All these disagrees for the people who liked the idea of Platinum developing the game? I mean haven't they already proved themselves to be one of the best action game developers with titles like Madworld, Bayonetta and Vanquish?

"Ok so just watched it, and being a huge fan of MGS games, I'm not impressed. Platinum Games make games with great gameplay, but their stories ALWAYS suck..."

Rising was never intended to be a pure Metal Gear Solid game. It just bears the series' name and takes place in the same universe but its a spinoff. Also, the production is overseed by Kojima himself. What else do you people are expecting from a spinoff?

[Razmossis]

Everyone that said "it's not a Metal Gear" over the past year... have been bloody right.

Seriously, get Metal Gear out of that title NOW!

[gaffyh]

@Blacktric - Konami assured us that this was totally an MGS game. That is the reason I have issue with some of the stuff in this trailer. It'll probably be a fine game, but doesn't feel like MGS from this trailer.

[Pacman321]

They really shouldn't have put "Metal Gear" in it's title, as this is not a Metal Gear game. This is just a spin off.

[Why o why]

i wasnt expecting a 'traditional' metal gear so im not gunna act all surprised and pissed now. Looks like it may have too many cutscenes for those who complained about mgs4s ones....u know the things that are tied heavily to modern metal gear games. This is more action based but i can see it too will probably feature many cutscenes either way im still interested

@Eamon

well its always been a spin off. More scope for adjustments. If somebody asked me if i could have a hack n slash in the metal gear universe i'd bite their hand off. Lets hope it pays off. It would be dumb to want this to end badly...thats not gamerish

[Eamon]

Basically, after the hiatus and silence after E3 2010's trailer, it seems the game went back to the drawing board.

The whole initial concept is no where to be seen. This trailer showed nothing of Zan-Datsu. It seems that the promises of how MGS:R would allow the player to play stealthily have been discarded.

Now Platinum is developing and the original Producer was dropped, this confirms that MGS:R went back to the drawing board and has completely changed from its initial concept.

I have mixed feelings about this. The theme is completely different from past MGS games. The realism and tactical action we saw in the E3 2010 trailer seems to be gone and replaced by a proper hack and slash gameplay.

Not sure if I'm happy or upset to be honest.

[hqgamez]

Looks like Kojima and his crew left this step child.
Gosh MGS4 came out a while back and has better graphics. It was ps3 exclusive!
Now you had it over to a developer that can't do anything decent for ps3.
We All Saw Bayonetta

[NeoBasch]

Platinum had nothing to do with the PS3 port. If you want to see how well they do when they lead on PS3, check out Vanquish (from the director of Resident Evil 4). Platinum Games is one of my favorite developers alongside Naughty Dog, Remedy, Valve, Sony Santa Monica, and Rocksteady.

[JaredH]

I don't know what to think about this. I loved Bayonetta and Vanquish but this trailer was edited to be so cheesy. It was just random words flashing to a guitar cut in with gameplay. When it zoomed closer to Raiden's face for every noise I was stunned.

[malol]

LOL

so much with all the (kojima working on it)
its just MGS and Kojima name on this POS

[Darrius Cole]

Well this explains why we haven't seen Bayonetta 2.

This game may be Metal Gear, but its not 'Solid'.

I'll still buy it though unless I hear very bad things about it. I like hack and slash. I loved Bayonetta even though I had to buy it on 360. I really loved Metal Gear Solid. Putting the two together has to work, especially if Kojima-san is to make sure it is up to standard.

This game is being made for the Metal Gear Solid fanbase so it has to run well on PS3. It would be absolutely stupid if it was another 360 first title that has a flawed PS3 port.

[sikbeta]

Doesn't look that good, sorry had to say it :P

[Sevir]

The engine under went plenty of change, Art direction is a little brighter but it does have the yellowish brown/golden screen toning that MGS games are known for, And I loved Vanquish so i'm sold on this.

Whats cool about this is that the rumors about this that was so debunked months ago are "true" which ties quite well into why the game was strangely absent from E3 this year, and also goes with Geoff's tweet about what's really the "truth" behind Kojima's reveal tonight! Call me crazy but i'm hyped about this! :-) Ready for this game!

[ABizzel1]

I must say it's not what I was expecting at all. It's full on hack and slash and it still looks a way off (Currently gameplay looks like a slight improvement over the generic dynasty warrior hack and slash), but knowing Platinum games reputation the gameplay should be top notch by launch.

I must say I was expecting it to be a bit more Metal Gear, than over the top Bayonetta like action.

I'm not disappointed just confused.

[christian hour]

Yeah I say take out the metal gear, Call it Reveangence Rising, and in small tiny letters on the box somewhere (a metal gear story) If its not being developed by Kojima Productions then its not going to have that metal gear feel, its a spin off, let it be a spin off, remove the metal gear part, you dont see other spin offs doing that, if they did you'd have shows called Friends:Joey!, Dr Who:The Sara Jane whatevers, , Buffy: minus buffy (angel), Cheers: What frasier does outside of the bar, Family (Black) Guy etc.

[CarlosX360]

But..but....RAIDEN literally freakin' held a METAL GEAR!

How can you guys not be excited by that. Literally holding METAL GEAR!? Awe c'mon! You guys not excited about that!?

I am. And my body is ready.

[SilentNegotiator]

"Wow seriously? All these disagrees for the people who liked the idea of Platinum developing the game? I mean haven't they already proved themselves to be one of the best action game developers with titles like Madworld, Bayonetta and Vanquish?"

Vanquish was an over-hyped game that was too short and had poorly balanced energy. Madworld was a meh-fest. As for Bayonetta, it was good but didn't have much focus to its combat.

If that lineup makes them "one of the best action game developers"...

[Gamer1982]

The point is here Kojima studios is not making the game so it won't be the same calibre as previous games. Then again it is a spin off so we should expect this. Don't get me wrong Titanium made some quality games but this is Metal Gear here one of the most successful franchises in gaming history and lets be honest they only work as well when the original developers make them. Halo Wars is an example and although not a AAA franchise Crackdown is another perfect example of why changing devs in a series is a bad idea.

[lastdual]

Rising was NEVER going to be a classic-style MGS game. Anyone who was paying attention already knew that.

If you're going to do a Metal Gear action game, might as well have the best team in the biz on the job.

Yes, Platinum's style is even more over-the-top than MGS4's already ridiculous cut scenes, but the gameplay will be top notch.

[fluffydelusions]

er what? Please be fake?

[MurderMyDoll]

im calling fake. not the gameplay just the voice over and text and how the trailer was put together, looks way too cheap i think were being trolled

[chainer3000]

this is what i thought. looked horrible compared to what it could have been... I think maybe a playstation move title or something?

[irepbtown]

It's official...

[Daver]

hmm its not what i was anticipating, it dosnt even feel like a mgs game, im not impressed at all so far.

[dark-hollow]

i dont care what others say but bayoneta despite it corny"ness" and cheesy cut scenes is one of the best hack n slash games when we talk about combat and gameplay.

letting platinum have their run on this game is a wise choice.
its not mgs as we know and love it, but it looks like a good spin-off nonetheless.
dont hate on it because it is very different! its not like they are shifting the franchise! there will be mgs5, and there is this spin off which looks promising.

[KeiserSosay4788]

Completely agree. Bayonetta was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous, but is, imo, THE most in-depth hack n slash this gen. The controls and combo system is near flawless.

[MaxXAttaxX]

Bayonetta had great combat. But I couldn't get into it because of EVERYTHING ELSE.

[Darrius Cole]

Bayonetta is great. Although I have to disagree with it being the most in-depth hack-n-slash this gen. That award still goes to Ninja Gaiden (any one of them).

[Rainstorm81]

Ninja Raiden!!!!

Could be fun tho.....

[ZippyZapper]

Never thought I would say this but MGR looks better than Ninja Gaiden 3. Nothing can touch the old Xbox classic.

[xAlmostPro]

Platinum games? -_- pretty sure they made the ps3 version of bayonetta gimped :( .. although i cant see hideo letting them do that :/

[Undeadwolfy]

It was a bad port but they learned their mistakes with Vanquish.

[Megaman_nerd]

They just took Vanquish and made it 30frames for both consoles. That is not learning, they just gimped both versions so nobody complains since the game was supposed to be 60frames like Bayonetta. And Bayonetta had as much crazy action as Vanquish so don't come to tell me that 60frames wasn't possible on that game.

[Whitefox789]

Sega handled the Port to the Playstation 3 version
Plat. Games only did the X360.

[hqgamez]

Facepalm is all

[Undeadwolfy]

Vanquish and Bayonntta were great games. This is basically a hack and slash game, something Platinum Studios evidently know alot about, with Raiden and set in the MGS universe. The game isn't meant to be as serious as MGS. It's just a spinoff. Enjoy the game for what it is and dont hate it for what it isn't.

Kojima even spoke about it in Official PlayStation Magazine, that I have, that it is going to be a very different experience. If you are tied to just the tactical espionage action of MGS and you're not willing to try this, then this probably isn't for you, but don't slate it for what it is and who's making it. As for me, I like the new take on it and it seems alot more fitting for Raiden to play the lightning fast ninja rather than stealth around like a Snake. There's only 2 Snakes that are worthy of that title. *salutes*

[Jamzluminati]

GOTY 12 confirmed. Well either this or Ninja Gaiden 3.

MY BODY IS NOT READY!

[colonel179]

Everybody saw it coming! Platinum Games is the right developer to make this game.

[user858621]

Platinum Games = DAY 1!!!

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Wow total disgrace. This shit looks worse than bad wtf

[kparks]

WTF please nooooo... dont do this to MGS... am i the only one who didnt see anything tactical in this where is my tactical espionage action??? how can they follow a game like MGS4 with this hack and slash crap? MGS4 was truly one of the best games ever made!! u can run and gun creep around go first person go third person kill or just sneek by people and not kill hardly anyone.. or even chill in the bushes and have a smoke! now IDK wtf this is but its no metal gear or solid

[Neckbear]

There's no "Tactical Espionage Action" since the subtitle is "Lightning Bolt Action".

It's not even a follow-up, it's a spinoff. It is Metal Gear, it takes place in the same universe. It isn't, however, "Solid".

Learn what the word "spin-off" means, it might save you from making a fool out of yourself. Hell, this applies to most in this comment section.

[pain777pas]

I am sad and appauled. Kojima please remove your name from this game. That is all... from the adventurer that was so excited until he heard THIS news which, brought his mood down like an ARROW to the knee.

[OmegaSlayer]

I loved the trailer.
Best out of VGA imho.
I take the game as it is.
It is not a reboot (DmC wink wink)and I loved the Raiden character.
Though I must say that I hope Kamiya is working on Bayonetta2.

[Batzi]

if this is true. That would be the worst thing ever! This is not Metal Gear. It's not Kojima quality trailer it blows and this sucks!!!

[sikbeta]

Ha! I told you months ago before the hype of this game vanished :P this is not a MGS game!

[Eamon]

Well to be honest, if the name of this title didn't contain the words Metal Gear, this would have been an amazing trailer.

I really don't understand the direction in this game now. It just isn't MGS anymore. What the hell were those suits with samurai swords. And that cyborg guy who looks like a mix of Vamp and Snake?

Man, I am actually disappointed. This might be a fun game, but this is not what I wanted out of a Metal Gear spin off.

[El_Assenso]

They need to take the name Metal Gear off cos its not worthy of that name. All I see is just some generic hack and slash and thats supposed to get me excited! The ethos of this game, the whole atmosphere I got from this trailer has no Metal Gear DNA in it, the song in this trailer reminded me of Mortal Combat!!! Poor on so many levels and it says a lot when this game isn't being developed by the MGS4 team or led/directed by Kojima every second of the way. Man I'm deflated after this trailer....

[El_Assenso]

You know a MGS spin-off I would like to see? One based on THE BOSS! Damn right the hero that started it all. I wouldn't mind a spin-off with Gray fox the LEGENDARY GRAY FOX!! At least they have a lot more substance in their stories and background. I think Grey Fox's one if done properly could be one supreme MGS game wihout a Snake or a Boss.

[padz1]

No it wouldn't. the trailer was really badly put together imo. i could make a better trailer than that. it looked cheap.

[MoveTheGlow]

This is absolutely not the Metal Gear you're used to, I agree! I'm looking forward to it immensely!

I mean, come on - did you want it to be that awkward thing they previewed at e3 way back? I didn't - I wouldn't go near that crap. This looks like a souped-up, jagged-edge Bayonetta followup, I *loved* the gameplay and production values in Bayonetta... so this should be good!

No, I'm not hiding in a cardboard box, but this is a different game, I'm cool with that. If anything, it'll beat the everloving crap out of the new Devil May Cry!

[Whitefox789]

Just gonna quote Kojima for ya.

In the December 2011 issue of PlayStation Official Magazine UK, Hideo Kojima said Metal Gear Solid: Rising is "moving forward". Kojima told the magazine that Rising remains significantly different to existing Metal Gear games, although he has retained an element of control over it and won't let it stray too far from the series' roots.He stated that "If somebody thinks 'I love Snake' and just really wants traditional stealth gameplay and that experience, then it may be hard to get into Rising, but for people who are more open and willing to try new things, it shouldn't be a problem."

[Prcko]

LOLOLOLOL
PLatinum games developer,hahahaha
no way that i gonna buy this,trailer looks cool but developer is -,-
and yea,this game is not even M of metal gear solid ,this is onimusha with mgs in bad shape

[JonahNL]

Platinum Games isn't a good developer?

MadWorld, Bayonetta and Vanquish would like to have a word with you.

[JonahNL]

To those who disagree: care to explain why the games aren't good? No? That's what I thought...

[JonahNL]

@gagaproject

I'm sorry, what do God of War and Devil May Cry have to do with the quality of Metal Gear Rising?

[Eamon]

Technically, Devil May Cry were made by the people who is currently in charge of Platinum.

It's why Bayonetta's gameplay and style were very similar to Devil May Cry.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

Madworld , Bayonetta and vanquish suck donkeyballs.

[Endless_X]

Video is down, another link: http://www.allgamesbeta.com...

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

thank you very much

[crxss]

! didju like it? - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[PeZuS]

WTF is this? Looks more like Ninja Gaiden than Metal Gear

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

I was never expecting a stealth game, This is exactly how I expected it to come out. It's a SpinOff game, heck even the developer is differnt. But It's still looks good to me

[gaden_malak]

Ga,eplay looks awesome but the VA was cheesy. This better tell us the story of Raiden between mgs2 & 4

[soljah]

for a minute a thought this was a gundam or a transformers action game. why is this associated with mgs series. this just blows

[Crazyglues]

OMG!! What is this, LoL... you gotta be kidding me, this is pure comedy - or is this serious..

I don't know who made this trailer but I just crossed this game off my buy list - for one that trailer was awful, more like an episode of Pokemon or dragon ball Z.. -( I mean I almost stop watching when he threw that big robot in the air and then ran up the leg.. come on' really)

I don't know if it's because japan does not transfer over to U.S. properly or what -but this just seemed silly - this game is a huge pass for me..

Whole thing looked cheesy and a little silly...-Guy with big sword just running around slicing everything...

(Huge let down from what was an awesome E3 trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watc... ) I thought the game was going to be more serious.. like MGS4..

.____........___...____

[Kos-Mos]

If you diss Pokemon, I`ll slap you. Pokemmon`s got more content (and I mean adult content as well) than most you`ve ever set yer eyes on.

[Crazyglues]

@ Kos-Mos

Not dissing Pokemon, just saying this is not what I had envision for this game.. Just does not seem realistic at all now..

[BiggsnWedge]

I agree with you.. this reminds me of that genji game or w/e..

GIANT ENEMY CRAB ATTACK ITS WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE

[Megaman_nerd]

I think the game looks nice and everything for what it is (and many times much more better than the DMC reboot) but like you I was expecting something more down to earth, more serious. This looks way too over the top by MGS standards and cheesy as ***. I know that cyborg Raiden is powerful and can slice stuff to pieces but this is just plain ridiculous. =/

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

OMG LOOKS SICK! Gameplay reminds me in the likes of God Of War and Dantes Inferno

[Chitown71291]

And thats bad? o.O

[mcmmaster]

Wow does the setting look cheesy as fuck for someone with a samurai sword to be rollin down

[Truerandom]

I remembered this rumour. So it's true after-all.

Edit:@Whoever disagreed http://n4g.com/news/783138/...

[ash_divine]

That was my first thought after reading the title. "So those rumors were true..."

[mcmmaster]

Yes i remember this as well

[ZombieAssassin]

Since when was Platinum Games the dev?

[silvacrest]

i would guess from the beginning, judging by what i just saw

[Truerandom]

When this rumour started http://n4g.com/news/783138/...

[Eamon]

Well it's definitely after the E3 2010 trailer, because the gameplay and style I saw in this new trailer is very different.

Perhaps Konami wasn't very pleased with the reaction after E3 2010's debut trailer?

[MaideninBlack]

Thought I was watching the sequel to Vanquish until Raiden showed up.

[Pyscho_Mantis]

Wait they have dropped the solid so it is MG rising YES YES YES.....GOOD CHOICE KOJIMA AND PLATINUM AS THIS DEFINITELY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE MGS SERIES.

EDIT: also I think this is what kojima was saying when he said developing was difficult. Looks like the e3 trailer and this are two different games tbh.

[Raider69]

Have you seen the trailer?Raiden eats Metal Gears!Big Metal Gears!

[sedx]

looks good for a ps move title

[aks6351]

WTF??

they turned it into a hack and slash,

before, didnt they say you could play the whole game in stealth mode!!!!!!

[Lavalamp]

With the scrapping of the Zan Datsu trademark, the dropping of the 'Solid' tag, the studio switch, and all these Re: text in the trailer, I'd say it's nothing like the initial concept.

[Whitefox789]

Whats going to be interesting is there's going to be an interview on Dec. 13th on the Rising website, on how this whole thing came to be, apparently the development was a complete disaster at Kojima Productions.

Also remember Plat. Games Policy, companies have to approach "them" for them to work on a game.

[solidboss]

holy shit the way he just kept on slicing and dicing at that one pmc i feel sorry for him =( im surprised by platnium games being the developer, what ever happened to kojima productions developing? none the less it still looks pretty cool

[Bellcross]

I don't know what to say really..

kinda disappointed. :

[Megaton]

Metal Gear in name only.

@D3mons0ul - Not clever, just accurate.

[D3mons0ul]

I'll bet you thought that was clever.

[ddang]

being developed by platinum games must have been "the truth" that the vga teaser was talking about

great move because platinum games' forte is to make games like these. have people not paid attention to the praise bayonetta get on its game mechanics??

we already knew the game would be different so people STOP complaining. it looks amazing for what it's trying to do. the fighting seems so much more dynamic than when teasers were first shown.

and even if there's no stealth WHO CARES! the game took a different direction. i mean they even dropped 'solid' in the title!

[ddang]

and it's only metal gear for use of character. i hate when people immediately defile something because it's different from what they're used to.

the next metal gear solid (which i'm sure there will be) WILL be stealth so dont get your panties in a bunch. just let THIS game be what it is and judge it on its own merits

[Parapraxis]

SHHhh these people are "gamers" many of them cannot bear change apparently.

[soljah]

hey it was kojima who showed up at the microsoft e3 presser touting how mgs was coming to xbox. WTF does this have to do with metal gear this is a f#cking joke. looks more like dragon ball z or some sh#t hack n fight game
p.s. what's with that sound track lol

[Megaman_nerd]

wait wait wait... What the *** is going on? Platinum games? Is this for real? But but but why??????? Wasn't this game supposed to be developed by the new blood of Kojima Production without the aid of Kojima?

Man Platinum Games can't code crap for the PS3 so we can forget that this game was going to be 60 frames. Bayonetta ran like crap on the PS3 and Vanquish was supposed to be 60frames but since they couldn't they made it 30frames for both consoles so we wouldn't talk crap about one version being superior. Man this makes me so sad... And based on the trailer the quality of the game is not even up to to Kojima's games. MGS4 looks better and that game is like 3 years old. =/

http://youtu.be/1PNOmBCPYr4...
vs
http://youtu.be/SkVowAeb1mE

[D3mons0ul]

Now you can all stop bitching about the title. It's Metal Gear Rising.

So you solid fanboys and snake fanatics can just stop, okay?

I liked the trailer, it's interesting hearing Raiden go insane at the end indicating a split personality and the gameplay looks very fluid and intense.

[silvacrest]

we cant stop

we wont stop

this is just.... disappointing, no stealth, all hack n slash (which i usually like but no on metal gear games) different developer, reaction animations look poor (to me at least)

[MaxXAttaxX]

Okay.

/s

[Raider69]

Thanks GOD!Raiden was never a stealth guy and given this to PG* was the best move ever made by Konami.I love everything PG* has release an the are a truly action hardcore developer if not the best at this moment,Vanquish and Bayonetta are exemples of what action hardcore games shoud be,so Rising is well delievery and the video says all.

[HellzAssassin]

This looks fucking awesome!!! :O
Definitely have this up at the top of my list for 2012 now.

[TheHater]

After watch this....I going to cancel my pre-order. This just look like one of those games that is using an existing IP in order to attract the fans of said IP. Why not just create a new universe and character? This game look nothing like Metal Gear and that is very disappointed.
Oh and after see Platinum Games logo, I definitely not getting this garbage. Expect a game with little to no story, shallow characters, and cheesy Voice Over.

[TheHater]

Update: Just Cancel my Pre-order on amazon.

[Chitown71291]

Lol aint that what you said you were gonna do.

[Chitown71291]

...

[m23]

That looks like one hell of an action game. The part when he picks up the mech was pretty epic. The dev is great, especially for this type of game, so I can't wait to see how this game turns out next year.

[D3mons0ul]

Has the spirit of DMC been revived in the body of Raiden?

Has he been possessed by Dante?

That was seriously an awesome display.

[HellzAssassin]

I agree!

Now that both Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry are going downhill (I'll still probably purchase NG3), but MGR looks damn good...

[MaideninBlack]

Think of the possibilties if Capcom had approached Platinum for a DMC reboot.

[HellzAssassin]

My thoughts exactly...

[kudakadere]

1 MIRRllioION TROOPS , hack and slash title

[Blogz4Fanboyz]

lol

[PSjesus]

Wow if hideki kamiya involved this well be
Awesome ..... Btw bayonetta was a port from
360 version

[Truerandom]

This looks way better than DMC 2012.

[kudakadere]

I'm worried on how they are gonna implement the storyline as Metal Gear has usually been a slower paced game to allow room for a richer story.

[WooHooAlex]

Seems like an attempt to cash in on an already popular franchise, rather than just creating something unique from scratch.

Not liking this at all.

[TheHater]

My thought Exactly. We are seeing the same shit with Devil May Cry and now this. Whats next, a Final Fantasy FPS?

[SkolarVisari]

To even compare this to the travesty that is DMC is just dumb. First off they have been up front from the very beginning about Rising not being like other MG titles. Secondly this is not a reboot of a series that doesn't need one. Finally Platinum Games actually knows how to make the kind of game they have been brought in to make.

[brettyd]

I think Raiden is a cool character and he deserves a game, but they shouldn't have called this Metal Gear (i know why they did because of name recognition)

[WooHooAlex]

Technically, he already had his own game. Metal Gear Solid 2.
Although I'm not sure if that counts, he didn't even get cool until MGS4 :P

[Optical_Matrix]

So basically a hack n' slash with Metal Gear Solid brand name to sell it. Great *rolls eyes* I love Platinum Games and I'll get this as I'm a big hack n' slash fan but c'mon son. I remember a year or so ago it was said that there would be stealth elements that had you hunting pray but, with action like this, I doubt thats the case anymore.

Hypes gone down a bit but I won't bash it. As a game, it looked so badass and I'm looking forward to it.

[NYC_Gamer]

this trailer is full of fail in my opinion..expect a cheesy b level story with cheap combat.

[danielle007]

Platinum Games doesn't do "cheap" combat.

B-level story is a valid concern, though.

[SeraphimBlade]

That looks immature, over-the-top, gratuitously violent, and more than a bit stupid. In other words, it looks awesome, and is exactly what Platinum excels at.

"oh but there's no stealth." Were we watching the same cutscenes with Raiden in MGS4? Where breakdanced robots to death? Or the same TGS trailers a while back? What were you excepting?

It won't revolutionize the industry, and doesn't seem to have the same emotion or maturity as the Solid series, (it's just "Metal Gear Rising" now) but I think we're gonna enjoy the hell out of it.

[jdfoster]

omg! Looks good... But was expecting something erm... different...

The trailer looks great but I am disappointed because I thought it would have been like the rest of metal gear games.... Look forward to what Kojima says about it tonight

Speechless... (and not in a good way)

Glad they didn't add "solid" Because it's looks like a completely different type of game...

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

WOW you got to be fucking joking right????? That looks awful R.I.P. METAL GEAR SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord_Sloth]

THIS IS MGR, NOT MGS!!!! Kojima's working on MGS.

Stop looking at this like it's MGS and realize that it's MGR!

[TheMailman]

Oh man they totally blow it.. Do you see the hair of the bad guy? Hilarious... Bayoneta 2 on the works.. A sad day for MG fans..

[FAGOL]

Lost all interest in this game now. This is not a true Metal Gear game.

Don't know why Hideo Kojima allowed someone to mess around with his game series.

[Vinushka]

Why are people shocked by this trailer? We all knew this wasn't going to be a traditional MGS, so why are you surprised?

Now, I LOVE the MGS games, and, to me, knowing full well this isn't a traditional MGS, I think it looks awesome. Very, very fun.

This isn't MGS 5, so have fun with this spin off.

I believe Platinum Games are the perfect developers for this game, I really do. To me, they haven't made a bad game yet. Hell, Bayonetta and Vanquish are two of the best games this generation. So yes, I'm very happy they're involved with this game.

[Slugg3r]

This new path really suprised me. From E3 trailer I suspected slower paced stealth-hunt style game, but now it seems that this ain't anything like it. Platinum games have some exellent games though so I'd say that this will be quality game, just don't expect anything like past Metal Gears.

[danielle007]

.. From the E3 trailer, I didn't expect stealth. They didn't show any stealth occurring.

You don't use that big of a goddamn sword if you want to be stealthy. You'd use a dagger.

Also what trailer were you even watching? He's fighting out in the open slicing people's bodies into little itty bitty pieces.

[Slugg3r]

I mean the feeling you got from the first part of the trailer where that cyborg-thing was searching for Raiden and then Raiden attacked from shadows, slicing that cyborg. I got feeling that this was going to be Predator style game, where you aree superhuman hunting your prey. But this trailer showed only hack and slash style gameplay. I thought we could kill human soldiers on hit. Imagine striking from shadows, striking soldier in half, like Batman games.

[motoko82]

one word:

garbage

[dorron]

A mixture of Ninja Gaiden, Vanquish and Metal Gear...looks fun, but definitely not Metal Gear.

[snakeRULZ4ever]

Shit... They ruined MGS Rising. No, more than that, they just filled the epicness of the MGS saga with dirt and crap. At first, at 2010, I was excited for this game. It could have showed us a completely new kind of stealth. But now Platinum Games turned it in a fucking hack n' slash. WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN, KOJIMA? You said you would step in if they did something that would go against the essence of MGS!! You just lost my trust as a gamer, Mr.Kojima, and it's gonna be HARD to earn it back.

[Cyb3r]

Looks like a cross between Dynasty Warriors and Time Crisis Razing Storm. Graphics dont look that great either and WTFs going on with the Heavy Metal music?

[MatrixGravity]

Ok, what in the holy hell HAPPENED to this game? The initial trailers that were presented a year ago looked vastly superior in virtually every single aspect compared to this mediocre pile of trash. What have they done to this game? It had so much POTENTIAL. What in the hell? Please, tell me this is some sort of bullshit hoax.

[SephirothX21]

Don't underestimate Platinum Games. On the upside, Kojima Productions are now fully concentrated on MGS5.

[kaveti6616]

Wow. This is crap.

The E3 trailer from last year (or the year before that) showed a much better looking game with less over-the-top BS. The graphics have taken a hit, and the style is too much like a Platinum Game. What happened?

[MatrixGravity]

That's exactly what I'm saying! Compare the E3 trailer to this. It doesn't even look remotely like the same game! I don't even know how to interpret this. How am I even supposed to react at this point? I had such high hopes for this title that just ascended to oblivion!

[Kos-Mos]

If Kojima`s got any pride in his work,(story and characters) this better not be true.

[TheHardware]

Something in my pants is extremely hard...

my wallet

[Shackdaddy836]

It doesn't look bad. Just not what I expected.

Maybe just a bad trailer...hopefully...

[razrye]

seriously drop the metal gear title and try something new. Very disappointed

[RazMaTaz0121]

I dont get this, we all knew MGS:Rising was going to be hack and slash adventure, why not give it to the best people who know how to develop amazing core combat systems (Platinum with Bayonetta and soon to be Anarchy Reigns)? Seems like a pretty badass collaboration to me. Kojima productions input with Platinums game play development skills = Pure Win!

EDIT: Just saw the trailer, pretty meh, but I will give Platinum a chance, they have yet to dissapoint.

[Alos88]

"Revenge with a Vengeance"
Mmm, that's some good bad tagline.

[DNAbro]

The gameplay looks sweet but "revengance"? really?

[BiggsnWedge]

Disappointed. Thought this was gonna be decent but it lost all hope for me. Just not the same, sorry.

[SweatyFlorida]

This game...
.

*Raises fist, with the palm facing you, with a determined look in my eyes while having an afro and disco pants on*

just isn't SOLID enough for me.

[motoko82]

kojima is full of it, he said in an interview that rising was going to look even better than mgs4, BS. those graphics sucks, the character models suck, i am os glad this piece of garbage is multiplat. thank you xbox360 for bringing the age of multiplat trash.
Good god, even the Fonts look terrible, like out some cheap white metal album from the 80's.
Also i want to know who is the sissy retard in japan or anywhere in the world that wears a haircut like that?
why kojima pro why why why?
i knew this was not going to be my game but i never thought it would suck so bad.
did kojima ever played the pile of garbage that was bayonetta and Vanquish?
man if this is some vendetta of kojima for his customers, then he really hates us.

[Gratisfaction]

Wow, just wow.

I don't think I can bear this. (This is unbearable)
Disappointed.

[nyobzoo]

not really liking how the gameplay looks at all

[Game13a13y]

This is why PS exclusives should stay exclusive. I bet they turned this game into this garbage hack 'n slash to suit those little Xboys taste.

[Shackdaddy836]

360 gamers are shooter obsessed - not hack 'n slash...

If anything, it's going in the oposite direction most 360 gamers want...

[Virus201]

Wow. People are hating on this game just from a single trailer. Kojima knows what he is doing and we as fans have to accept that.

People are so negative now a days it's pathetic. Just be happy that we will have the chance the experience something new and from that looks of the trailer the gameplay looks amazing.

[Rhythmattic]

I guess the MGS series from Kojima brought a fresh approach to the bench.

Now it seems what made the series great is not in any way reflected in this trailer.

Personally, only ever played MGS4 (and loved it) , and this trailer pigeon holes MGR into the "another hack & slash" category.

Will it do it better and be better than other contemporaries?

All I know is, at least at this point, the trailer VO sux big time.

[Liquidzone]

First Ridge Racer became 'unbounded'... now we get 'revengeance'!

[motoko82]

kojima needs to give up making made-up words, first was transfarring now reveangeance.

kojima i dont know what you are smoking but it is bad

[NotSoSilentBob]

Well there goes my hopes for a developer who might be able to step up and help Kojima keep his dream alive.

[SwilloTGL]

I dont usually leave comments on N4G, but this is all wrong. This is not what it's supposed to be.

[despair]

ugh....

[nevin1]

Turning Raiden in a ninja was lame to me.

MGS2 Raiden>>>>>> MGS4/Rising Rising

[e-p-ayeaH]

Raiden was already lame to start with.

[Arksine]

Yep, this looks like a complete hack n' slash. No stealth at all. Its Metal Gear, so I'll have to play it, but this wont be a day one buy for me.

Tell us what you are really working on Kojima.

[crowsticky1234]

Didn't even watch the video, I just saw the headline and I just started crying. I'll watch it on the VGAs.

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Just please, do not kill yourself when you see it :'(

[teevo]

It will be mine...... oh yes, it will be mine..........

[danielle007]

Man, haters gonna hate.

But, I love Platinum Games. I'm excited to see what they bring to the table.

[The video has been taken down by the time I came to this article.]

[archemides518]

platinum games is cool, but THIS is not what they showed us. so WEAK

[n4gisatroll]

Go to kotaku. It's up there.

[-Gespenst-]

Hahahaha "Revengence" What does that even mean?

And man this game is violent. I mean, how is it justice if you cut the guy into like 20 pieces. That's just psychopathy.

I have the same problem with Assassin's Creed. Ezio claims to be the noble, good guy, but then one of his executing moves has him repeatedly stabbing a guy in the stomach with both his hidden blades. Not a hero; a maniac.

[silkrevolver]

And I love the idea of this being a spinoff series by calling it Metal Gear Rising instead of solid. I am excite.

[BiggsnWedge]

you like crap games we all know now shut up

[silkrevolver]

Ok?

[RockmanII7]

Well I thought the trailer looked cool, makes me want to play it with motion controls to see what different ways I can cut people up. Besides, who doesn't want to be trunks?

[Sph3re of Pain]

Ok to all these people saying "This isn't Metal Gear!" or "Get the words Metal Gear out of that title now!" Let me ask you something...

Define the two SEPARATE words. METAL and GEAR.

METAL: Any of a class of elementary substances, as gold, silver, or copper, all of which are crystalline when solid and many of which are characterized by opacity, ductility, conductivity, and a unique luster when freshly fractured.

GEAR:a part, as a disk, wheel, or section of a shaft, having cut teeth of such form, size, and spacing that they mesh with teeth in another part to transmit or receive force and motion. An assembly of such parts.

I mean seriously a game is much more than a name folks but its just so happens that this game fits its title PERFECTLY. Its a game about freaking cyborgs and GIANT FREAKIN ROBOTS! People please get a grip and move on. Buy the game. All the right people are behind it and you know everyone always is quick to judge something till they see it first hand after completion and find it utterly great.

[Sph3re of Pain]

And if you disagree with me. Then let me ask you this...NAME ONE METAL GEAR GAME in which the overall theme of the game was to prevent a threat by a nuke that could be fired from what???? A GAINT FREAKIN ROBOT! Yeah its a game about robots.

[TheOtherTheoG]

I like how they took out everything unique and interesting they showcased in the E3 2010 trailer. That's... interesting...

[archemides518]

EXACTLY!!!! why can't we have a game....ANY GAME....where a sword works like it's supposed to!!!! this sucks

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I blame MS for this. They had to throw their money at Kojima so they could say they have a MGS game. You can have this shit MS but you will never get a true MGS game.

[bobrea]

So many crybabies. It's set in the metal gear universe. Awesome characters, and what will most likely be extremely awesome and satisfying gameplay. I for one, can't wait for this game.

[rowdyBOY]

NINJA GAIDEN "RISING" !!!

AND THEN FALLING, LOL

[Braid]

Wow, I mean, just wow...

I expected it to be "not so good" but this is bad beyond my expectations. This, my friends, is a total mockery and a true disappointment for the hardcore MGS fans. At least they had the courtesy to remove the "Solid" from the title.

Raiden was goddamn "OK" in MGS2, he was quite likable, a rookie with a shady past that grows mature throughout the MGS2 storyline with the help of Snake and Otacon. I never understood why people kept bitching about the way Raiden was in MGS2. In response to the general feedback, Kojima tried to revamp the character with a more serious tone as the Cyber Ninja, which was a cheap copycat of the legendary Gray Fox, and I'd still prefer the normal Raiden from MGS2 over the Ninja one.

And this new "ninja" chapter raises the level of ridiculousness surronding the character who was forcefully transformed into a killing machine due to the dissatisfied fans, which was a wrong move in my opinion, as there was literally NOTHING wrong with Raiden in the first place.

Not getting this, not even watching the trailers anymore, hell, I'll pretend this game never existed at all. It just looks like a fan made spin-off rather than a true sequel to the franchise.

[Bay]

I don't care how "Metal Gear" it is. This is a spin off, and it's not Metal Gear SOLID, so it doesn't need to have the "tactical espionage action" that was associated with that series. Metal Gear in this case can just be used as an umbrella term for games in the same universe, published by Kojima Productions.

With that said, this looks just amazing. I never did hold games in the Metal Gear-verse as being particularly realistic, so the complete craziness of the trailer didn't surprise me.

If anything, the amount of craziness makes me want to play this even more. Platinum Games are known for amazing gameplay, and from what I've seen here, they're at it again.

[solidosito]

Kojima, have step a side of metal gear???? platinum is a great developer but this for christ sake

[Anti-Fanboyer]

Who turned up the cheese meter?

[jay2]

OMG, poor Raiden, just give him a sex change and we've got Bay 2 :(.

[archemides518]

G D IT THIS IS SO STUPID, WHAT HAPPENED TO CUT AT WILL!!!!!! now his blade is like force unleashed......like a bat, SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[archemides518]

could not be more disappointed with this "reboot"

[Mike_Tha_Hero]

Unblocked trailer

http://www.myniritori.com/v...

[no_more_heroes]

By the way, just want to correct those who may have been mistaken: the game was always Metal Gear Rising. "Solid" was never in the title. Whoever's been putting Solid in the title has been doing so wrongly (probably out of habit, which is understandable).

OT - I have no prior investment in any MGS game so from my neutral perspective that trailer was kinda cool. I don't mind a bit of cheesiness (admittedly, the voice work in this trailer was grating a bit at times).

On whether this is a real Metal Gear game or not, I suppose you could compare it to Mario, with the main series being a platformer but having spin-offs that branch out into many different genres. It does, however, seem more appropriate with the Mario franchise (a cartoon) than it does with Metal Gear.

I do like my Hack n' Slash/Action games though, so this looks quite interesting to me.

[poopsack]

It said solid in all the trailers, just look it up.

[poopsack]

Without even paying attention to how horrible this trailer is, the gameplay itself looks pretty weak. The enemies just stand there while Raiden is going batshit insane and the character models just float across the floor while they're standing. What we saw in earlier trailers looked a lot better than this shit, it looked like a hack and slash game that actually paid attention to detail. I will admit the QTE's look solid on this one though, but the normal gameplay isnt doing it for me.

[archemides518]

this is what happens when you bring a bat to a swordfight!!!!!! :P

[xyxzor]

How is this not Metal Gear-ish? Doesn't anyone remember a quarter of the cutscenes. Remember Raiden stopping a god-damn boat with 1 arm?

[n4gisatroll]

I just saw this via Kotaku. Seriously, terrible video. It's pretty much hack and slash, over the top twin snakes type of game. I may get it, but I'm not expecting this to be great. It doesn't look cannon at all...which is fine by me, I would just rather have it be something different I guess

[Omega Zues]

Uggg, just watched the trailer...I think im going to vomit. All I saw a was a terrible hack n slasher game with zero substance.

[Coolmanrico]

I pity everyone who though this game was going to be anything like the others. What I expect from the very beginning was a fast paced Hack and Slash game and that what we got. The fact that Platinum is developing it now increased has interest, but now I have to deal with the whining of people who don't understand the concept of Spin-off.

[mistajeff]

Look, I love platinum games, and I'm totally going to buy this. But if this is true, and it really seems to be, I'm disappointed. I knew Kojima wasn't running the show, but his studio at least carries on his development genes. I was hoping for another Kojipro game. Again, I absolutely love platinum games, they're a top notch studio, and I will TOTALLY be buying this. But, ya know. Humbug.

Another thing that disappoints me is that there really doesn't seem to be any way around killing people. One of my favorite things to achieve in MGS games is the no-kill playthrough.

Also wanna say that I'm really glad they removed the Solid from the title. I was hoping since the announcement that they were going to do that.

[DeadManMcCarthy]

just seems like your average cheesy japanese game now..

[flappersack]

I think I'm going to be sick.

[Enigma_2099]

Platinum Games, huh? The Bayonetta guys, huh?

Think Kojima will make Kamiya care about the PS3 port this time?

[seanpitt23]

wow thats the shock of the year i have actually watched the trailer twice to let it all sink in. Infact this will never sink in iam in denial this is a mess at least we have MGS5 coming in 2 to 3 years.

[antihiroprotagonist]

anyone that thinks this looks ridiculous hasn't played any of the other Metal Gear Solid games, because these kinds of things definitely happened in the other games...

[ChickeyCantor]

LOL @ drama queens.

Take a chill pill guys.

[PirateThom]

Odd, very odd... why is Metal Gear being outsourced?

[blackhammer]

And I thought I wanted a Metal Gear game on the 360.

Oh wait, there is Snake Eater in the HD version available. Screw this game.

Sorry, I just... can't have any hope for this game. They wanted to make Bayonetta 2, and so they did.

[Yangus]

WTF??

MGS:Riyonetta.......

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Old McGroin]

Holy shit that looks impressive!

[RumbleFish]

Another game I wont buy...

[Fanboys_suck]

Someone fucked up this franchise, right up the ass.

You can't believe how disappointed I am. My face is bleeding urine.

[Thunderflash92]

Im a big Metal Gear Solid fan, and since the beginning. I just looked at the new trailer, and my jaw litterly hit the floor at how badass it looked.

But it doesnt feel like a Metal Gear Solid game in the least. Like im not complaining or anything but the very first trailer of Rising felt purely like a Metal Gear Solid game but this just seems way different, like a big change.

This will be very interesting to see what happens.

[TBONEJF]

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO BAD ASS. I LOVE THE PART WHEN HE USE HIS SWORD TO BLOCK THE BIG OL FOOT AND I WAS LIKE " WTF?! " THEN HE RUN UP TO HIS UGLY FACE N SLICE THAT ROBOT IN HALF. If that's the same robot during MSG4 I'm going to have sweet revenge while playing this KICK ASS GAME

[SillyBastid]

is it just me or did it appear to be a joke? cheesy as hell

[Braid]

What in the bloody hell is a revengeance anyway?

[Nunchez]

It looks super cheesy but still I might get it after the price drops.

[tiffac008]

So are we looking at a spin off here?

Because I was hoping for a canon and the back story of Raiden and how he became a cyborg in MGS4.

But since they are dropping the Solid out of the title I'm assuming this is like Acid on the PSP...

[sporteous121212]

Too many people are upset about this game not looking like MGS. Obviously it is set in the same universe but it is essentially a spin-off from the main cannon. I love MGS games and I am not upset about this being different as long as it is fun to play and has a good tie-in to MGS.

[SkolarVisari]

This is how they should have handled the new DMC put it on record that it was a spinoff (Not that this would stop people from complaining.) instead of trying to troll the fans.

Anyway I feel like a lot of the negative comments surrounding Rising are coming from people that haven't been paying attention to what they have been saying when they have said anything about the game. Furthermore these people seem to have selective memory about how Raiden or any of the cyborg ninjas have been portrayed since MGS1.

[Sargerus]

Is because those people thought Rising was MGS5... Sigh...

[Ekmez]

Ninja please... This looks sick. High paced combat with what is sure to be polished controls from Platinum. Along with the crazy Metal Gear Sub-plot theres no way this can fail for me.

[Ps3X360]

Hi everybody!!! First I want to say I want this game now.
This game reminds me of ninja gaiden series but faster.
I'm really excited for this.

EDIT*** although it's set in the mgs universe this is raidens story, which means its a different pace and we should welcome it. Didn't hideo say he was helping out?

[Kakihara]

Damn that's upsetting. I was actually looking forward to this since the previous footage made it look as open as MGS4 but just based around action rather than stealth. This looks just like a Ninja gaiden clone, I can't even say how disappointing that is.

[refocusedman]

The sole reason I was so excited about my ps3 purchase was so that I can play mgs4. I remember I ran to gamestop right after school to try to purchase the gun metal mgs4 ps3. I was excited abt a new metal gear; even though they stated this was gonna be different. After the trailer that I just saw i can honestly tell you that I am completely disappointed. Ive been playing metal gear since nes with elecrified floors and remote controled missles and as a die hard fan my interest has waned. People gush abt vanquish ( never played it) and bayonetta ( Played it for 20 mins been collecting dust since then) but, I dont think that they belong in the MG universe. I guess im just annoyed that instead of another MG game that most fans would love to have, we get this abberation. Changing a game this popular risks alienating the core fan base, which I can personally say that they have done with this fan.

[SkolarVisari]

So you are a Cyborg with various enhancements shown to be willing to fight even after losing both arms. Do you really think stealth makes sense for that kind of character? Isn't it stupid to try to make every character fit a single mold when said character is clearly different? They didn't change Metal Gear like how Capcom changed Dante, they went into this from the very beginning saying that it would not be like the Metal Gear games. Heck just keep in mind what the cyborg ninja as a character has been doing throughout all the Metal Gear games since PS1.

[A7XEric]

I love Platinum games, but the original footage we saw for this game looked so much better. This trailer drips with cheese, and the original graphics engine also looked better.

[Jake_the_Dog]

If its made by Platinum, its gonna be fuckin' golden.

[ZBlacktt]

Like I said many months ago..... this is going to SO fail. That hurt to even watch.

[NeloAnjelo]

I hope the story is done by Konami at least.

Platinum games seem to have gameplay locked down.

Give us an MGS Story from Konami and gameplay form Platinum games and who knows?

[Thunderflash92]

Your spot on their man. Konami for the story and platnium for the gameplay. But if Konami can also work on the gameplay that would be awesome.

[gypsygib]

Platinum makes some of the best gameplay, I just hope someone else is handling the story.

[SneeringImperialist]

If theres no MGO3 with this game its going to fucking bomb and fail so hard lol

[Aomizuchi]

The music killed it for me.

[marcoskids]

This looks freaking awful.

RIP MGS :(

[makingdamage]

It looks like a hack´n´slash game not a metal gear game.

[SamPao]

OH MY great gaming GOD! THIS IS SICK!!
platinum games are like one of the greatest developers EVER! and with a budget from kojimaproduction and help of Kojima himself, this has to be the greatest game ever created!! I CAN NOT WAIT! hooooolyy!

[Whitefox789]

If you guys take a look at the offical MG Rising website that is up

http://www.konami.jp/mgr/en...

you'll see involvement wise its pretty straight down the middle between Kojima Productions and Plat. Games. Also take a look at who the lead writer for the game is... Ahh you see its someone from Kojima Productions whose worked on MGS4 and MGS PW.

Everyone just needs to take it in for what it is a spinoff, a sidestory, something new with the franchise, Let me ask would you guys just prefer no more MG games being made because Kojima has wanted to do other things for over a decade?

[jacksheen0000]

The Graphics in this video footage looks OK, but what bugs me the most is the play mechanics. It looks BORING and repetitive. I means the game play is a complete rip off from Ninja Gaiden. Not to mention, I think MGS visual art style just doesn't work as a hash and slash game. No offensive, but this game is a utter MESS. Nuff said!

[Sargerus]

You guys should read this from the official Rising website:

METAL GEAR SOLID: RISING was a spin-off intended to feature the actions and transformation of Raiden, one of METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY’s main characters, in the lead-up to METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS.
However, after Platinum Games came on board, the story was changed to take place several years after METAL GEAR SOLID 4 to give them more of an opportunity to show off what they can bring to the series. Cyborgs are spreading at a rapid pace in the game’s world, resulting in earth-shattering superhuman action at every turn!
http://www.konami.jp/mgr/en...

TL;DR: Rising is set AFTER MSG4, not Before.

[CrazyRap]

platinum games?
Fucking fuck they ruined it....

[ZeV]

If you compare the first trailer made with a pre Fox Engine running on a PS3,then this new trailer made by platinum sucks a lot...Damn !!! What a graphical and technical downgrade !!!

[CrazyRap]

Huge downgrade :|

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

hmmm not sure whether this looks awesome or realy dumb.
Pissed that the story is based after MGS4 now,it just doesnt make sense now.Was looking forward to seeing how raiden became the way he did in between MGS2 and MGS4.
I think the original trailer looked alot better actualy.
Whats with raiden picking up a metal gear!?

[mixelon]

Haha I don't care, this looks awesome.

Anyone who thinks MGS was serious in the first place was obviously playing something else.. Do you even remember all the craziness with Raiden in MGS4? This is perfectly fitting for such a stupid character. (hey, who needs arms to fight anyway)

Seriously, this looks badass!

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

This will be a good PS move game if they implemented it well.

[KrimsonKody]

I think it would be a good game for the vita.
The Vita is expected to be as equally powerful as the PS3 & 360, so I think it should be done.

[Whitefox789]

It's strange cause they announced at TGS that Rising was coming to the Vita yet I go to the official website and there's only the PS3 and X360 logo's. Which is also making me think they dropped the PC version as well.

[Fyflin]

I actually think this looks pretty good! Obviously its not a traditional metal gear game, but for what it is it looks pretty sweet.

[SegataShanshiro]

Ok read this carefully.
-This is a metal gear game
-It is canon
-not a PS exclusive
-it is coming to the Xbox 360
-it is a hack and slash
-Not developed by kojima productions
-it's gonna have better frame rate on the Xbox than the PS version (like every multplat game ever on PS)
-Snake is not the main character
-Not sealth game
-it's gonna have 450mb or so patch day one on ps3
-you gonna need to install it before playing and after every fucking level

YOU MAD PS3 FANBOY? YOU FUCKING MAD??

[ShoryukenII]

Watch this video and you'll be surprised how similar this looks. :p
