Full Metal Gear Rising Will Probably Feel Different To The Demos

Toshi Nakamura: ''Metal Gear Rising Revengeance will be hitting stores in less than three weeks, and anticipations are high. In this week’s Weekly Famitsu, Platinum Games producer, Atsushi Inaba and director Kenji Saitou along with Konami’s Kojima Production producer Yuuji Korekado and scenario writer Etsu Tamari sat down to talk about their upcoming Metal Gear.''

I read the title a thought it said full metal gear alchemist, my hopes got up.

Gamer19824098d ago

Of course people are gonna say the demos not gonna be like the full game as the general feeling I'm getting from people who play the demo is negative. I don't know anybody personally who's played the demo who is buying this game. In fact I don't know anybody who is buying this game for any system.. The demo got slated on a lot of sites too for being buggy and not that great.

oriononer4098d ago

The demo got slated because the people playing were too impatient to learn the mechanics and just made a knee jerk reaction and blamed the game. I can't believe people are having such a hard time parrying. Once you put the time in, this games controls are sublime. I personally can't wait to play this and believe it will be one of the greatest action games since Bayonetta. It has the same "lock on with directional input" foundation that classic DMC games had and is way deeper than people have given it credit for. Trust me, this game will be a masterpiece.

parrying is so easy that I find it hard to believe that people are complaining so much about it. To be honest, the combat was surprisingly easy and straight forward to me.

But based on the demo, the combat was not that deep like you say. DMC4 is way more deeper with the jump cancels and stuff and Rising doesn't have any of that. But it's to be expected, in today's gaming everything has to be as straight forward and easy as possible anyway. People doesn't like to learn games anymore, they just was to run and shoot or mash buttons.

oriononer4098d ago

I think the combat will get much better once the secondary weapons you obtain from bosses are added in to the mix and more abilities are upgraded. True it lacks the immense depth that DMC4 had, as does almost every other game of this sort. I was more referring to the feel of the system and the special moves using directional inputs combined with the lock on. It is true though that this is more than just a masher. The timing delay combos and the way you can flow through the moves is really satisfying. To me anyway. I do think this game has much unrevealed depth to it as well. We'll see. I just know that PG hasn't disappointed me yet.

Seems to me like a mix of DMC/Bayonetta with a massive dose of Ninja gaiden's parrying and evasion philosophy , wich is neat . The Gaiden angle is the additional depth of the game this time around

Now that's how you do actually try to pull of changes . Not just dumbed gameplays , pace , level design and platforming gimmicks with controversial design decisions .

StrawberryDiesel4204097d ago

It's beautiful, 60fps gorgeous gameplay. Platinum Games are very good Devs and they wanted this game to be good and it shows in my opinion. So many people love to bitch about anything they possibly can it's ridiculous this gen.

Hate the demo. I know it's not a Metal Gear game, but still... feels more like Ninja Gaiden, camera feels too loose and uncontrollable. It's like they filled a NG world with MG characters.
On the positive side though, the graphics look incredible! Good job crafting P+... I'm sure courtesy of Konami.

wishingW3L4098d ago

I liked it much more than DmC because of the Japanese cheese (DMC4 and even DmC reboot have deeper combat though). But when I remember that this is a Metal Gear game and how PG butchered the cinematography and good story for a 3rd rate anime wannabe kind of story-telling it pisses me off. It's a love hate relationship but I'll still buy it while trying to convince myself that this is a new IP. XD

Them smooth frame-rates is something I was starting to miss on modern hack & slash and games in general. But what I really wanted was a crazy hack & slash game with Kojima's style of story-telling and his obsessive level of detail. ;___;

SAE4098d ago (Edited 4098d ago )

I loved the demo . my only problem with it is that the Ai was easy even though i didn't know how to parry and i couldnt cut the cat >.< . im evil for trying right ? xD

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.

senorfartcushion324d 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_looken323d ago

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

Z501323d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken322d ago

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

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992323d 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

senorfartcushion323d ago

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

RaveTears323d ago (Edited 323d 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.

Flawlessmic324d 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.

Soulsborne324d ago

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

Terry_B324d 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.
