"Black Raiden"

I just want to know what the heck that even means.

Whitefeather4241d ago

Simple, it's the color of his armor/body.

nrvalleytime4241d ago

It can't be that simple.

Kojima even mentioned that "I can't say much beyond this, but why he's 'Black Raiden' is a secret." That's from his twitter account, and, while he loves to tease his fans, this has to account for something.

-Gespenst-4241d ago

He gets maimed at the start of the game by those Samurai guys, and then he's repaired and given new, superior armour. That's what the devs said.

DecoyOctopus4241d ago

Yep it is that simple, saw a developer commentary and he said that you will have a black cyborg armour

nrvalleytime4241d ago

Yes, but that doesn't imply where "White Raiden" comes in.

He's not known as White Raiden before he was disfigured, so I'm still a bit curious.

Everyone's reactions confirm what I had suspected, but I still have lingering doubts.

dirthurts4241d ago

They don't call chocolate, brown chocolate.
But, there is a white chocolate alternative.
Why can't there be a black Raiden without a white?

No_Pantaloons4241d ago

it means he's evil.

like evil ryu from street fighter. Its another ploy to give this vanilla character some depth.

Kureno_Nakamura4241d ago (Edited 4241d ago )

WHITE RAIDEN - EH EH EH EH EH-EH EHN!

BLACK RAIDEN - DOO-DOO DOOP! DOOP! DOOP!

blind-reaper4241d ago

that would be Canadian Raiden.

this game needs to be made on FOX engine ASAP.

a_bro4241d ago

too late for that. maybe if a sequel happens, it will most likely get the fox engine treatment, most likely left for next gen though

JellyJelly4241d ago

Vanquish looked spectacular from a graphics point of view. 60 fps and with tons of stuff going on at the same time. I have no doubts the game will look good.

yaz2884241d ago

vanquish was 30 fps not 60

SuperLupe4241d ago

If it really was 30fps then I'm pretty surprised because it definately felt like 60fps.

dredgewalker4240d ago

Vanquish looked great and I'm also surprised that it's only 30fps. One of the few games with short gameplay that I enjoyed immensely. I'm still hoping for a sequel to that game. Anyway I got interested in this game when the development was shifted to Platinum Games.

WeskerChildReborned4241d ago

It's way too late to change engines, maybe for the sequel they will use it if their ever is a sequel.

Xperia_ion4241d ago

Platinum knows how to make fun games.

MacDonagh4241d ago

Agreed. Platinum Games knows what it means to make a fun game. Plot wise, it may be a little iffy, but it should be pretty solid.

No pun intended.

Summons754240d ago

well story was written by KP and they have control of it so plot will be fine! I can't wait for this game

HellzAssassin4241d ago

Which is why I've stated on multiple occasions they're by far my favourite developers this generation. Vanquish & Bayonetta were both unique and incredible games and I'm sure MGR:R will be an absolutely incredible game.

doogiebear4240d ago

They make good beat-em-ups/Hack & Slash...Yeah, but can they make fun Metal gear games...hmmmm

LNDCalling4241d ago

Why do I have a feeling that something in MGS: Ground Zeroes is going to lead people finishing the game to go pick up ‎MGR: Revengeance even if they didn't originally as it didn't appeal to them!

I might well be wrong but its an interesting concept given the appeal of Revengeance doesn't appear to match that of Ground Zeroes, the former not being a usual MG title.

jc485734241d ago

kojima is known to pull strings sometimes

Parappa4241d ago

Amazed at how bad it is I'm sure. They completely ruined the storyline for the game but luckily it's not canon as anything that takes place after MGS4 wouldn't be canon to begin with until Kojima actually works on a real MGS that takes place after that time.

Slugg3r4241d ago

Actually it was never said that it was not to be canon. They only said that it would be a spin-off.

BlaqMagiq244241d ago

Oh so you played the game right? You know exactly what happens in the story right? What? You don't? Then STFU.

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.

senorfartcushion319d 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_looken319d ago

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

Z501318d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken318d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992318d 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

senorfartcushion318d ago

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

RaveTears318d ago (Edited 318d 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.

Flawlessmic319d 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.

Soulsborne319d ago

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

Terry_B319d 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.
