Neocrisis: Can Rising surpass Metal Gear Solid 4? Is a game a Metal Gear Solid game when the main character is not Solid Snake?

I sense an enemy approaching, can I use my lovable box to hide myself from the enemy? Read on and find the answers to these and other questions.

why am i sensing this to be a universally acclaimed game :p

DatNJDom814074d ago

Seems like this reviewer didn't like MGS4.....

Masta_fro4074d ago

Seems like he didn't really play the game...

maybe a demo. This is not a review. Its a "try hard to make it look like i played the full game so my website gets hits" review...

AznGaara4074d ago (Edited 4074d ago )

Guess that one user who said he/she was going to buy DMC instead, based off a 7.5 score, has to buy this game too lol.

crimsonfox4074d ago

there are multiple users on this who have their heads so far up th.... man... I'm not giving them anymore troll food. But, I will say DMC looked horrible the demo cemented my idea of it. I just can't get over the ridiculously over stylized environments. Metal Gear Rising has been looking nuts since platinum got a good of it, they have yet to let me down. And as huge fan of Metal Gear I'm counting the hours/minutes to see what platinum has came up with!....Damn I lost focus...

DivineAssault 4074d ago

i have to buy this.. Its getting great reviews everywhere.. The demo wasnt all that to me but it didnt by any means suck either.. Im just afraid of blasting the $60 & it ends up being something i wanna sell when im done.. MGS games always stay with me forever but idk if this will be like that

SAE4074d ago

When i played inFAMOUS1 Demo i didn't like it at all. I felt like it's a super hero game like batman or super man. But when i played the full game i had a different feeling for it because of the story so maybe you will have the same feeling too about the full game when you see the story..

The story is different then war games. It makes sense and the talk can be seen in real life like in my country Bahrain. When you play it you will understand me. I don't want to spoil anything to you..

DivineAssault 4074d ago

Ya, i get u.. Maybe ill grab it on payday.. I was gonna get DmC but i think this one is going to be better

Soldierone4074d ago

Everyone (including me) that I've talked to had the exact opposite reaction to inFamous lol We all didn't care about it at all, then we tried the demo and pre-ordered the game.

The GameStop employee I talked to even said pre-orders didn't really start happening at his store till the demo released.

crimsonfox4074d ago

Damn you work! getting in the way of me and this game...
These reviews are just getting me more excited. Damn good read

Ryder494074d ago

10/10? Damn. This made me sit up and pay attention to the title again.

Donnieboi4074d ago

This applies to all game reviews:

Don't be gullible over a score. Even COD gets 10/10, and we all know that that doesn't make sense. Try reading more than just 1 review to get a sense as to whether the game is right for you.

Ryder494074d ago

Yes I know that. It's just been getting pretty good scores across the board so that's why it's interesting.

ginsunuva4074d ago

And this, folks, is why companies and reviewers care so much about the little number called a score at the end of their review, because it clearly makes people suddenly and intensely interested in the product, as seen above.

Ryder494074d ago

Yes because I've totally never read a full review before. I just look at the pretty numbers and spend all my money on games that only get 10's!

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.

senorfartcushion317d 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_looken316d ago

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

Z501316d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken315d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992316d 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

senorfartcushion316d ago

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

RaveTears316d ago (Edited 316d 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.

Flawlessmic317d 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.

Soulsborne317d ago

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

Terry_B317d 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.
