OXM Staff: ''After a lengthy lull, Japanese-flavoured action games are coming back in a big way. We've already had DmC and Anarchy Reigns; now genre master Platinum Games has the floor with its Metal Gear spin-off.''
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
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.
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.
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.
Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.
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.
There is nothing classy about it. I hope the story is ignored when Kojima makes real Metal Gear games. It should be like MGSPO where they disregard almost everything or just say that it was all a bad dream.
I think Rising is a new IP in the guise of a Metal Gear game.
Think about it for a sec, in this economy developing a new IP is extremely risky even for the top devs which is why we have countless sequels, reboots and rehashes.
The smart thing to do is to take an already existing franchise and put a new spin on it, so where as Metal gear rising isn't a a reboot like DmC, it's still a fresh new hack n slash game but set in a familiar universe, one that is successful enough to guarantee sales from MGS fans and fans of the hack n slash genre.
Well, this is just my opinion on the game, so true or not it's a pretty interesting and lucrative concept for a business model in the current economy.
I think it looks great so far. Over the top fun.
I love the part when Raiden slices up the on-coming missile.
As long as you don't go in expecting a metal gear stealth game, just a mg-flavored action game, you should be all right.
And yes Raiden is a ninja, but we all saw the feats he was pulling in MGS4. I don't think he'd be stealthing around much; he'd be whupping arse.
DmC was far from Japanese-flavoured action. The old games however, were not.
MGR:R looks like it's going to wipe the floor with it, and that's only a good thing for me. I like the challenging aspect of it, and the depth the combat has. Hell, it even has the depth, if not more like the old DMC games.
DmC was a huge failure
MGR will be the anti DmC mark my words
