ROFL the lame analogy between the mask and the skullhead on Lord of Shadow :D

Nothing new here.

oh my god, some people were right.. Thats not Raiden! Its a woman!

This is really pissing me the f*ck off right now, I swear to Christ. Why do these things keep getting approved?!

MASK GAME= PS3/PC/360

zoe 3

2009, 2010, 2011 IS GOING TO BE A BEAST FOR THE PS3. AFTER GOD OF WAR III, the annihilation of the Xbox will begin in the 1st qtr. 2010 and in the second qtr. Microsoft will announce the 720 for 2010! You heard it hear first!

I dont think that is Raiden...I think Kojima just put that cyborg on the jaw of who ever it is to be thrown off... because Kojima Know's that will be the first thing to come to our mind of it being Raiden because of the cyborg jaw... I bet Kojima is like....these Gulable people.. lol sitting back and lauging @ us...

Well i guess some sites will do/say anything for attention sometimes. This proves absolutely nothing. Changes absolutely nothing and is the most useless info to date. Again.. can't we just wait the 4 days for E3?

if u look hard enough and picture that cyborg jaw not being there.. i swear its a female.. those eyes look nothing like raidens... its sunny

I think it's Kyle Schneider "Black Ninja" from the very first metal gear for the msx2 console.He was also in metal gear 2 solid snake.He was the leader of the resistance movement at Galzburgh, South Africa. He was once an architect who was forced to be part of Outer Heaven's design staff, but joined the round movement when his wife and child were killed.He was taken captive by NATO and was used as a guinea pig for NASA's top-secret "Black Ninja" extraterrestrial.He was outfitted with an experimental flex armor suit and reflex-enhancing drugs (in what may have been a predecessor to the Cyborg Ninja project.

are 2 more Metal Gear games coming out, don't people remember the hint from MGS4?

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
