Early this morning, the Xbox Live listing on the Marketplace for Metal Gear Solid: Rising was updated to apparently show the game's box art. This has caused some spectulation as to whether Rising might be a 360 Timed Exclusive.
Youtube channel GVMERS has released an interesting video chronicling the various Metal gear concepts and ideas that were cancelled or scrapped during production. In the 17 minute documentary they talk about the Metal Gear Solid port for Game.Com, the cancelled Metal Gear Solid: Rising concept, and ideas that were cut from Metal Gear Solid 2, among other things.
Interesting, although, I already knew most of what was on here. I just wish Kojima had the rights to the franchise. The saga has left with a whimper instead of a bang.
President Trump took office around a week ago and in that time a new global trend has emerged - doing a quick search on Google News for "Donald Trump" a couple of times a day just to see what the massive, bejowelled, orange-faced troglodyte has done this time.
Oh come on he really isn't half as bad as the haters claim. He is actually the best president for USA in decades.
You forgot the /s at the end, people might think you're serious and then worry about your mental well being.
I know Im gonna get disagrees but Ive lived thru 7 presidents. Trump is the worst and he just started. Lol..
People use to have more support for Donald on here, was almost half and half...not anymore lol...people we're like "Ohh he wont do that he just said that in his camapign, he wont actually go through with building a wall and banning muslims noooo"
@Erik7357
Obama banned mulsims too? So whats you point. It all of the sudden tpeople have a opinion on it due to not liking trump. But didn't care when Obama did it in 2011. Liberal Hypocrites.
He's been in barely a week, and all he does is create policies that give the appearance that he's doing something to please the people that voted for him. Nothing that is actually effective mind you.
He promises to build a wall, says Mexico has to pay for it - Mexico says it won't pay for it = no wall.
Even if the wall was built, if people are determined to get in, they will either climb or tunnel through, so the wall is completely pointless.
Then the ban on people from 6 Muslim countries. Basically creates a lot of hardship for innocent people (a lot of whom are american) because it's stopping families from being together.
And again it's ineffective because if someone really wants to get in (fake passport or go through one of those tunnels under the wall), then they will.
Even if they didn't, most of the attacks these days have been brainwashed people who were already living in America.
This just shows a president who is more concerned with the appearance they give rather than creating an actual thought out action plan to make the world a better place.
I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Needless to say, any time a country tries to make things overwhelmingly in its favor, making things unfair for everyone else, that's when countries stop doing business with that country. Which then causes exports from that country to falter, since it loses out on trade.

Do we really need Buzzfeed like articles now?? This site is supposed to be an escape from the US presidential fighting of the past 2 years. This is not the n4g I know and love.
The n4g I know is us fighting over review scores, consoles, handhelds, exclusives and PC.
Probably sitting at home thinking that there was no way trump had a chance in hell?
Is Xbox irrelevant? Will Playstation fail? Is Nintendo DOOMED? Find out tomorrow on N4G.
Kinda easy to say right now till we as gamers start seeing import taxes on top of consoles. In the States
Who ever post this sh!t should be band, political articles should not be allowed in the gaming websites...
Because Hillary is a racist, sexist asshole with 0 experience and constantly shits on her own country over twitter. Oh wait
VGS: 'Part of the excitement in gaming comes from watching a game be unveiled, following its news updates and eagerly awaiting the day of release. But there are times when it never gets to that final part. Either the game is cancelled, put on hold indefinitely, or becomes ‘vaporware’ - meaning, we simply never hear from it again. Here are some games that never saw a release, but that did look rather promising.'
I'm still disgruntled by Kojima's decision to cancel the original Metal Gear Solid: Rising's concept. It was absolutely ambitious: an open world stealth slasher with an ability to cut literally everything to make your way through... without enemy's notice.
I guess it was just too beautiful to happen.
Yeah the idea was very cool but they just couldn't get the concept together. It's a shame but maybe they will do something with the material they have some day.
I know right, in my opinion the game we got was horrible compared to what could of been. The Rising game we got seemed out of place for being a MGS game even despite being a spin off.
Eight Days hopefully will make it's way to the PS4 one day, the gameplay back in 2006 looked amazing. Imagine what it will look like now
Rising is actually canon. LOL
Also, although it seems out of place. It was by no means a bad game. Terrible story, but gameplay was AMAZING.
Get out...really, it's now cannon
I thought Kojima said it was a non cannon spin off...christ sake <sigh>
I was seriously looking forward to Konami's MGS Rising. That was supposed to be an actual prequel to MGS4 where the storyline made sense. The new one just sucked honestly, it would have made a great Bayonetta game where gameplay is fun and storyline is just stupid.
Blame the development for not being able to get the action and stealth element together.
The original concept for Rising definitely looked way better. It just had that swiftness and accuracy to the whole cutting mechanic. There was a certain, I suppose, elegance and finesse to the way they had Raiden move and how he fought. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Revengeance for what it was, but I was really looking forward to what Kojima Productions was going for, both gameplay wise and story wise. Who knows, maybe one day they will use concept for a new Rising game that is made by Kojima Productions or possibly a new IP from them.
I agree, while I did enjoy MG Rising, the previous concept did look and sound intriguing, and I was interested in that story focusing on Raiden's transition to cyborg ninja.
I totally agree with your statement, but now that I'm thinking about it, if he did do it, it would be very difficult in terms of programming. The reason why is because every time, let's say hypothetically, Raiden cut something, that dataStructure would have to look completely different, or disappear and be replaced, there would be far too much to necessary power to be put on different systems, I believe, unless I'm thinking of programming this game completely the wrong way.
Trigun for the PS2, was so sad when I heard it got canceled.

And when I was saying this spin off game was going to do so poorly long before it came out. People just clicked disagree, lol. I know the gaming market. :cool:
Same with MGS5. People will buy it for sure. But it won't have the impact MGS4 did. More so changing out David Hayter for no real reason at all. But more for a personal one of Kojima's. Many diehards did not like that at all!
A lot of the games history died in MGS4. Now it's become just some game. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Idk I really didnt care for MGS4, it was too action focused, stealth meant nothing, the story was horrendous, along with many other things like lack of memorable boss fights. Still, MGS is as awesome to me as always. The game didnt live up to snakes last mission in my eyes but it was still a good game. The series is still amazing for sure.
I do agree axing David Hayter was a HORRIBLE thing to do. He is Snake. The series is def going more TPS and mainstream. I'm worried how Kojima will manage to keep it stealthy in an open world setting. I have my worries but Kojima has delivered time and time again so I will trust him and hope he makes me feel like a fool for doubting him lol.

I doubt it. Its just Microsoft trying to associate itself with MGS.
Who cares (i know sum simplistic people will)
Itll more then likely b a rental unless im blown away by it (which i dont think is goin 2 happen now do u)
I wouldn't be surpised, and as a consequence the Western media will go berserk with 10/10 scores and say "Ohhhh GAAAAAWD! Reidaan iz so awsum!!!" Yet, it will have a fraction of the content of MSG4. It will have a fraction of the storyline of MGS4.
Such is modern gaming journalism.
@ below
My understanding is that Rising is NOT a sequel. It's a spin-off. Kojima made it clear that his baby was Peace Walker, not Rising. Rising is being handled by Konami's B-Team, the same that made Metal Gear: Ac!d.
Why would the marketplace having "Rising" box art imply that it would be a 360 timed exclusive? PSN doesn't have an area where they post retail game box art and so forth, so of course it isn't on PSN anywhere. The littlest things cause "game journalists" to jump to the wildest conclusions, it seems.
Why would Konami do that? We all know Rising will sell twice as much on the PS3.
@Xander756
Don't you think MS should spend that money on 1st party development instead?
