Looks friggin awesome, can't wait for more info.

BadboyCivic6193d ago

don't know why some gamers are upset of it going multi...

ChampIDC6193d ago

Some people have the impression that it'll be gimped as a multiplat. Either that or they're mad about another franchise going to 360, even if it is just a spinoff.

The more gamers that get to enjoy a game, the better, if you ask me.

IdleLeeSiuLung6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

Not only do more people get to play it, but everyone gets to pick the system of their choice. Fancy free gameplay or sleeker interface. You can have either or both versions!

JokesOnYou6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

So the next installment of the MGS franchise has finally made its way to the 360. Microsoft takes care of business and keeps bringing all the big franchises to the 360.

"Nonetheless, Metal Gear Solid Rising is still described by Kojima-san as the "next generation Metal Gear Solid 5."

Dragon quest, Mario, Zelda and monster hunter says hi

Milky Joe6193d ago

Without Hideo Kojima, MGS would be nothing. imo ofc.

This game may well turn out to be pretty good but it won't be as good as a proper MGS game. imo ofc.

The only problems I really have with it going multi plat are the fact that the graphics probably won't be as good (very minor issue) and MS will be so smug about this for the next 5 years that they're not going to shut up, and it's not as if they were particularly quiet before it was announced. imo ofc.

YogiBear6193d ago

Remember one thing. Raiden is no Solid Snake. Enjoy Metal Gear on 360 but please realize it just isn't the same.

Game13a13y6193d ago

easy there buddy, you guys are only getting the left over while the main course (MGS 4) is still exclusive to PS 3.

oh, and PS 3 will be getting MGSR as well ;)

Valkyre6193d ago

@JokesOnYou,

lol douchebag , MGS:Rising has almost nothing to do with the MGS saga , which if you havent noticed , continues in a Sony platform.Also , kojima himself isnt even involved in this one , so what Kojima just did , was throw a bone towards you and Konami , while giving the true fans what they craved for , i.e. a proper Tactical Espionage Action and not just Lighting Bolt Action...

Also Lost Planet 2 says hello to you.

arika6193d ago

@ jokesonyou you are getting slammed my friend. here is the deal sony gamers get to have all the konami games plus the true sequel to the mgs saga mgs: peace walker. i'm happy that the mgs spin off will be enjoyed by both sides, but i'm happier that we get hideo kojima on our side and when mgs5 finally comes around it most probably will only be on ps3 the only console that handle an epic game like that.

TheTwelve6193d ago

Because, Badboycivic, we're not communists, and we believe that competition between consoles is better. Exclusives drive people to be better while multi games are made according to the lowest common denominator.

"Everybody wins" is an idea that pretty much stops being cool in kindergarten.

It will take a lot for me to want this game...but we'll see as things turn up.

Rock Bottom6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

They should delay the PC version a little, because once that comes out many people(including me) would just torrent the game, and would never bother buying it afterward.

I can't resist free games.

LastDance6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

Yay! cant wait to play MG: Snakes revenge 2: the raiden cronicles

Narutone666193d ago

sort of spell it out for the fan boys to believe that it is a simultaneous multi-platform release.

JokesOnYou6193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

"lol douchebag, MGS:Rising has almost nothing to do with the MGS saga" -Valkyre

-damm alot of hate above just for speaking the truth, lmfao "Why so serious?"

Its almost as if you're psychic and you already know what the game/story line will be about, lol so Raiden has nothing to do with MGS saga? wow, I could of sworn Raiden has been a very popular charachter within the franchise....but hey what do I know.

Enigma_20996193d ago

... from the same article, Joker...

The series' creator, Hideo Kojima, has explained in a Famitsu interview that he's actually only fully involved with the PSP game, where he will be serving as director, producer and game designer. He describes Peace Walker as the "Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me."

I wonder why you didn't mention this part?

Dorjan6193d ago

kerriganss6193d ago

meh.. not the biggest fan of MGS, it's being milked imho

cyberwaffles6193d ago

are probably mario, halo (halo 3, halo wars, odst, and reach all on 360?!), ratchet and clank, castlevania, and a whole bunch of other nintendo games and spin offs. trust me, kojima is far from milking the series.

Panthers6193d ago

there was only 1 MGS on PS1, 2 on PS2, and 2 so far on PS3. I would hardly say it is milked. Yea they did things like subsistance or whatever, but still.

IdleLeeSiuLung6193d ago

So giving people more of what they want is milking now? So maybe companies should just withhold games to prevent milking?

As I sad before, and now again. To me milking is when you lend your name away or making a product that is inferior just to cash in. Mario might fall into that category, but Halo does not. Gran Turismo definitely fall into that category with multiple demo discs that cost money?

Just for your information, it appears more to me that MGS is being far more milked with a number of releases including inferior ones on the PSP not to mention a remake on the GameCube and even re-releases with additional content.

As long as a release is a quality game, I don't consider it milking! It doesn't matter how many releases it has.

peeps6193d ago

"how many Mario's were made? "

like over 100 lol

No problem! Yeah it's a well made video.

TheVetOfGaming3151d ago

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.

Utalkin2me3395d ago

@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.

ravinash3395d ago

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.

JunMei3395d ago

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.

The most promising games that never saw a release

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.'

Agent20094589d ago

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.

Nyxus4589d ago

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.

-Foxtrot4589d ago

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

Kenshin_BATT0USAI4589d ago

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.

-Foxtrot4589d ago

Get out...really, it's now cannon

I thought Kojima said it was a non cannon spin off...christ sake <sigh>

Dagobert4589d ago

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.

zeal0us4589d ago

Blame the development for not being able to get the action and stealth element together.

ChipChipperson4589d ago (Edited 4589d ago )

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.

Nyxus4589d ago

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.

Murad4588d ago

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.

ZBlacktt4589d ago (Edited 4589d ago )

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.

TheDivine4588d ago

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.
