Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is ‘Metal Gear Ninja’ (OXCGN Preview)

OXCGN:

"Revengeance is set 4 years after Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots but it is by no means a sequel of any sort.

The game is a spin-off and not part of the Metal Gear Solid series, so if you’re looking for a game with heavy use of stealth stick to the Solid series.

What Revengeance does provide, however, is massive amounts of slaughterous swordplay with witty dialogue.

If there was an award for the “craziest and bad-ass opening level/sequence” then Revengeance would win that award hands down."

I'm still not convinced I'll like this, but I'm curious to have a go with it.

NYC_Gamer4111d ago

It's not for me since i'm more into the traditional MGS

gaminoz4111d ago

I was never a MGS fan, having tried the others but never finished them, but I loved MGS4.

I agree. This is totally different. But it's good to see more 'action' type games.

wishingW3L4111d ago (Edited 4111d ago )

I'm sure the gameplay will be great but I just don't like the fact that is so over-the-top is almost like watching Vanquish and the story-telling looks like it will be as corny and cheesy as Bayonetta. I would have liked if the game was kept more grounded to reality like a Metal Gear game is supposed to be rather than going more for the anime-ish/weeaboo presentation.

The new trailer looks really cool BTW but that ain't Metal Gear just like the new DmC ain't a real Devil May Cry game: http://www.youtube.com/watc... And I'm not saying it for the gameplay but for the overall presentation when it comes to cinematics and stuff.

gaminoz4111d ago

It's nice to see some hack 'n slash games coming. It looked like a largely shooter landscape for consoles in 2013 otherwise.

Proeliator4111d ago

As a devoted MGS fan, I'm on the fence.

I'm obligated to buy it because it has Metal Gear in the title, but I don't know if I'm going to enjoy it and regret the purchase.

Summons754111d ago

Demo should be releasing soon on consoles I think. The one that game with ZOE hd was amazing. Each fight was intense and the boss fight was great. One tip though: master blocking quick, it's not only a huge help in battle but it ties the entire combat together. For me it was a little tricky to get down but I did during the boss fight and it helped so much.

I can't wait for this game. Kojima pro written story and platinum games quality gameplay mixed together beautifully. It's not MGS but it's not suppose to be. I've been a metal gear fan since the first game and will support this 100%.

Would love for more info on ground zeroes though.

Whitefox7894111d ago (Edited 4111d ago )

Demo comes out on January 22, its the one that came with the ZOE HD Collection which I've played numerous times. I will say the controls for this game are perfect.

spunkee3114111d ago

I can't wait. I love all types of games. From traditional MGS games with stealth and sneaking to Hack n Slash games like Bayonetta or God of War. TO me this MGS R game is the best of both worlds from what I've been hearing. ANd platinum games is at the helm. So I'm all on bored. Day 1 purchase for me.

If you are on the fence. Then just wait and let the gamer videos and opinions speak for themselves

SAE4111d ago

I know i will enjoy it whether this game turn amazing or normal . i always wanted a game that let me controle the sword . it just need to be challenging or impposible to make me love it ..

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.

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.
