That's a little weird, seemed to be the way every game was going.

doctorstrange4078d ago

If we have to use Gaikai for PS3 games on PS4, I hope they actually put all the games up there.

"Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Isn’t a Day 1 Digital Title on the PSN"

so what?

memphis24077d ago

ya and what's the big deal?

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante4077d ago

The big deal is that Sony usually does these day 1 digital titles and Rising isn't good enough to be on their list. I mean it's already obvious that it's going to be garbage and flop. Even review sites haven't been pushing out reviews early because everyone will know that it's short, mediocre, and not worth buying.

If it ever does become a retail title then it will be later when everyone knows how terrible it is and that's why Sony isn't adding it as a day 1 title.

Meanwhile, it's a big deal for other games (especially the ones that are good and are worth paying for).

HiddenMission4077d ago

Wow troll much Dante...I think someones bitter that DmC flopped at retailers lol.

Ok point at hand 1st publishers foot the PSN bill for a title being put up. If the publisher didnt budget in the added expense then it wont hit PSN until its earned enough to warrent it or the publisher feels that spending more could potentially net them more profits.

Nothing that goes on PSN or XBL is put up by either company unless of 1st party or exclusive deal.

Quiescent4077d ago

i bet you like pineapples

pr0t0typeknuckles4077d ago

aww Donte bro you still mad that your game flopped man, its okay everythings gonna be alright you dont need to cry anymore once raiden and kratos hit the bank they may be generous enough to give you some money to get back on your feet, cause lets face it the real Dante is laughing at you right now, XD.

And why would it be? Nobody would buy this garbage anyway. It's a 5 hour crappy hack & slash that's nothing but a cash-in. No fan of Metal Gear would support this trash and Sony knows it.

Sony thought ahead and knew that people who buy it were instantly going to return it the next day and buy something that doesn't suck so they don't want the anger to be on them by releasing something like that early when you can't return it.

NateCole4077d ago

I do. MGS fans since the NES days.

HiddenMission4077d ago

MG fan since day on and Im getting it so try harder bro

pr0t0typeknuckles4077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

aw Donte bro, stop being jealous, now we all know your game wasnt that long eihter nor was the story even good, no true DMC fan would buy your game you know, i got to be honest with you though i think your brother was a B!3h, and you and mundus were just so corny no one took you seriously, but when people see raiden they respect him which is odd nowadays, heck im pretty sure people respect nero more than you.

Wedge194077d ago

I'm all retail anyway, but it sucks for the people that like their digital titles.

iDotDotDot4077d ago

My retailer isn't getting Rising in till the weekend. I was really hoping for a PSN release so I wouldn't have to wait.

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.

senorfartcushion320d 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.

Z501319d 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

neutralgamer1992319d 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

senorfartcushion319d ago

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

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d 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.

Flawlessmic320d 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.

Soulsborne320d ago

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

Terry_B320d 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.
