Gametrailers are putting out another timeline, similar to the one they did on Zelda. Should be interesting as MGS has a long legacy.
Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.
He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.
Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.
i also has mixed feelings about Raiden.. First reason was because I didn't even know he was the main character in the game (I only bought gaming magazines once in a while) and I had a MGS 2 demo in the bunker which was starring Snake.
Second reason I won't say he is uninteresting but just overshadowed by Snake.. the gameplay in the end of the game with the double analog sticks saber slicing was nice and I liked Raiden for that reason (improved in MGS Rising).
Playing with Solid Snake was just a wow moment every time in comparison.. Only Naked Snake could stand against Solid Snake for me..
He definitely grew on me as the game progressed but I was initially pissed because I was expecting to play as Snake. It was the old bait-and-switch lol.
Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.
I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days
I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
Though similar in name, the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid Delta, Naked Snake, is different from the more iconic character of the series Solid Snake.
They looked the same, acted the same, and we're both voiced by David Hayter. During the classic period of MGS, there was no difference (someone correct me but I don't recall if in Snake Eater NS was already determined to create his private militia?)
Side note - still a fantastic series of games with a plot so bonkers but still somehow works.
The seeds of rebellion are planted after The Boss’ sacrifice in MGS3 but he starts his militia in Peace Walker.
Thanks NLN. That's what I seemed to think was the case, but for a series that retcons its own story multiple times throughout the decades it's hard to be 100% after a few years off.
They are different people for one. Naked snake becomes big boss of the original metal gear games. Solid and liquid are his clones.
