Worst Commercial Ever? Probably.

Hardcore Gamer: Take note everyone, this isn’t how you make people want to play your game; actually it’s just the opposite.

i did find that to be a bad commercial just cause it really didn't have much to do with the game itself. I mean it could have ben an ad for anything tbh.

Nimblest-Assassin4083d ago

I miss kevin butler :(

It didn't matter what game it was, he just made it awesome

zerocrossing4083d ago

Yeah, the ad really wasn't very good...

AznGaara4083d ago

It would've made more sense if it just showed him cutting something with a knife, slip up and get really mad. I mean really, it shows a kitchen and it didn't show a knife in a commercial for a game about cutting things?

pr0t0typeknuckles4084d ago

i wholy disagree with this guy, i mean i can see some of his points but he acts as if metal gear never had silly commercials before, and on top of that this is not the worst video game commercial ever, infact this commercial is very reminiscent of commercials of the 90's to early 2000's, its a good commercial, and persoanlly really internet first boxart, and now videogame commercials, at least there advertising the game what are people gonna complian about next the color of the box, the size,shape, the freakin logo

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4083d ago

You are spot on with saying that its like a 90's/early 2000's commercial. I loved how whackey and hilarious they were. Im sorry but I give this commercial 10/10 for nostalgia.

I dont understand why they couldnt have just used Europes commercial for America too, I much rather the European one

RyuX194083d ago

Because his sword monologue sounds kind of silly and it in an anti-climatic way. People forget the American commercial shows a lot more crazy action too which is what will grab peoples eye for the game. It's also not the only commercial for Rising that is showing in America.

admiralvic4084d ago

No the worst commercials was PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale live action 2. Not only did it fail to showcase ANY gameplay, it wasn't exactly clear what it was trying to market.

DERKADER4084d ago

That commercial just felt very generic.

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_looken317d 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.
