Metal Gear Rising... Revengance (New Trailer)
Revengance. A combination of vengeance and revenge... Ahahaha.
Here's the new trailer:
http://the-magicbox.com/1112/game111210a.shtml
I was cautious after I saw the first trailer, but still optimistic; after the news that the original concept was scrapped, I was concerned; upon hearing platinum games had been brought in to develop it, I was distraught; now I despair. I simply despair.
Suikoden and Metal Gear Solid were really the pinnacle of video games, in my estimations. It is a real shame this has happened. Kojima, up until this point has been stellar in his work. He'd managed to make a well-rounded story with great characters spanning over 20 years whilst keeping the series fresh and thematically rich.
This is a mess. I can only hope that the trailer is spectacularly misleading. Adding insult to injury, they set it after Metal Gear Solid 4?!
What's your impressions, guys?

I'm gobsmacked. I really didn't want to see this happen, after the weird reboot swing-a-majig thing they did with DmC. At least, this isn't Solid Snake so it's easier to accept, than it would be if they would have put Snake in the lead of this.
I just hope this is a side-series involving Raiden and no one else.

If this had been a Devil May Cry game rather than Metal Gear, I'd be extremely excited (especially when you consider the current DmC reboot).

Platinum games is a great developer, i have faith they can bring something enjoyable to the table. Whereas DMC is stuck with Ninja Theory.

I have faith in DMC. This hack and slash nonsense is not the direction for MGS. I understand that they wanted to change the gameplay, and that's cool, but generic hack and slash is not the way. They had it right the first time around, it's a shame Platinum didn't just further that system rather than make another ninja garden. See, I find their other games 'fun' but I want more than fun from MGS.

I'm trustful about it, Platinum is a security.

Re: Metal Gear Rising... Revengance (New Trailer)
All of their games play almost exactly the same: generic. The slower, more meditative gameplay they seemed to be working on would have been much more unique and enjoyable, in my opinion. It's very frustrating that they were unable to see it to completion.
So far, this looks like a Platinum clone in MG skin. It even, by the looks of things, has the stupid, beyond escalated story, with characters acting out of character story to match.

Re: Metal Gear Rising... Revengance (kojima interview + MGS
http://the-magicbox.com/
Kojima's new disheartening interview is available there. In it he explains exactly what happened and basically how this is all Platinum's game now.
However! When you get through the misery of that, he pretty much reveals the setup of MGS 5! The Boss and the Cobras at the battle of Normandy!!

GUYS! Kojima posted this screenshot of a new title running the Fox engine... I have NO doubt that it's Metal Gear Solid 5!

Re: Metal Gear Rising... Revengance (New Trailer)
So who's going to be the main character of MGS5? I thought Snake died (or was dying) at the end of MGS4. Actually, to be honest, should they even make a 5th game. All of the loose ends were wrapped up in the 30 minute cut scene at the end of 4. There really isn't anymore that can be done with the MGS story.

There can always be a new villain, always a new hero. As long as it's done well, some series can almost live forever.

I think Kojima mentioned something about The Boss and cobra unit in Normandy. I for one would love to play an mgs as The Boss.

I'm just horrified about the obvious QTE moments in the fighting footage. Bayonetta was a mess when it came to those.
