Metal Gear Solid Rising:What We Know So Far

SKOAR!"The recent Kojima podcast revealed that Rising utilize a brand new engine coded from scratch to exploit the power of current generation machines. We present to you all the information that has been available across so far regarding the game."

DragonWarrior_46192d ago

Oh sh*t. I was just talking about this. The new Castlevania is gonna be sick too! Zone of the Enders 3 will probably come next gen. I cannot wait for that.

Nike6192d ago

Castlevania is much more commercially sound and relevant as a franchise than Zone of the Enders. It'd be great to see it in high-def but as long as a Castlevania, Silent Hill, Metal Gear, etc. are available for Konami to create sequels, ZOE 3 may never happen. But good to see the devs stating that if fans want it, they'd be more than happy to give it to them.

DNAgent6192d ago

I mean what the hell happened to this game (video below)? I'm assuming that game got canceled so they could slap the Castlevania name on Lords of Shadow. However, this game could be 2D or 3D as the trailer doesn't really make much of anything clear except that Alucard is in it since it's just a CG Trailer. If it's a 2D it could be a PSN/XBLA title or possibly a remake of SotN.

Not to mention, Lords of Shadow isn't even a real Castlevania game (even the trailer which came out earlier that didn't have the Castlevania name slapped on it). Lords of Shadow is also being made by MercurySteam (the same people who made Clive Barker's Jericho). Also, why no mention of Koji Igarashi at Konami's E3 conference?

There are numerous things wrong with this but I will just leave it at that.

All-36192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

LOL.... the new game engine for MGS: Rising will allow for better graphics than MGS4, according to Kojima Productions. Care to explain those statements away first?

How can the graphics be BETTER than those running on the MGS4 game engine if the MGS4 engine is so superior?

Listen to the podcast if you dare: http://www.konami.jp/kojima...

If you can't understand why the MGS4 engine can't run on the Xbox 360... then you'll have a hard time understanding why different car engines can't just run in ANY other car without major modifications if even then.

Nice6192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

we know nothing except that you look like a troll...

On topic I still am excited bout the game, Kojima aint gonna let newbs ruin his creation....

Giant_Enemy_Sackboy6192d ago

This is the B group the creator of the first Zone of Enders (it suck so much and was so cliche ,im glad Kojima directed ZOE2 ,it was awesome)and Metal gear solid VR mission, u played as Grey Fox . I really dont care about it. i might buy it if there nothing good coming around the time this come out ( which i doubt).
Im really exited about MG Peace Walker a game being develop by the A team,the same that made MGS4 . That's something to be exited about and not a half a$$ game by the b group .

WIIIS16192d ago

I think you belong to the AAA group of rabid fanboyism.

Nike6192d ago

@Sackboy:

Well, Kojima also created Metal Gear Solid Touch, which was basically MGS4 for the iPhone. And that sucked. So better to wait for the game's release before deciding who made the better game in the past and whatnot. And hey, look at it this way: No one involved in MGS Rising has worked on Snake's Revenge. :)

beardpapa6192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

@Sackboy & other hardcore fans

*puts flameshield on*

Kojima is the god of convoluted story lines. As much as i thought MGS4 was great, there were times (especially the last scene w/ Old Snake & Big Boss talking) when I thought WTF? Of course I never played MGS, did play MGS2, and skipped on MGS3. I enjoyed Portable Ops a lot, but obviously it doesn't really tie into Solid Snake's arc. I probably would understand that last scene better if I had played MGS... but still it's a little too much.

I'm just glad there are other types of espionage/military non-shooter games out there like the Tom Clancy stuff - Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell. Can you imagine SC Conviction w/ a story line like a fully loaded messy baked potato? Yikes!

beavis4play6192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

he has an outstanding MGS4 engine and it can't be used due to the fact the game will be multi-plat.
it's laughable that the article says "a new engine is being coded from scratch to exploit the power of next gen consoles." NEWSFLASH - kojima already MADE that engine. it's just too bad 360 can't handle it. (and this is not fanboy crap - if anyone disagrees; please explain why they aren't using the MGS4 engine for "rising"...i'd like to know)
this makes me wonder if "rising" will end up looking like another cookie-cutter UE3 game. oh well...............

at beardpapa - so it's kojimas fault you can't follow a story? and you didn't play the first or third games; so, it sounds like the problem lies with you and NOT the story. i WILL say that MGS2 went off the "political deep-end" near the end of the game. overall, i really enjoy the MGS world and it's stories.

el zorro6192d ago

@beavis

The MGS4 engine was specifically made to run on the PS3 so of course it isn't going to work well on the 360. Same thing would happen if you tried to move a 360-specific engine over to the PS3. By creating a new engine they can make an even better looking game and that is exactly what they are promising they will do.

MGS4 looks good, but it isn't all that special anyway. 360 could easily run that game if the engine was rewritten to work well with the 360.

beavis4play6192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

why would you expect an engine (made for MULTIPLE systems) to produce better results than one made for a specific console? i'm not saying it will look "bad".......but i doubt it will look better than MGS4.
and the arguement that "it could be done on the 360"......that's been used for uncharted and UC2, ratchet:ToD and aCiT, KZ2, MGS4, GOW3, heavy rain, the last guardian......etc... but i've yet to see a 360 game match those kinds of graphics. NG looked great as did ME and the gears games. but they just aren't on the same level as the ps3 exclusives.
but, hey! i hope you're right. i love the MGS series! and thanks for replying.

good in MGS4...honestly Snake wa designed to retire...I felt pain when I saw raiden scampering around like a monkey and me coughing about...

Giant_Enemy_Sackboy6192d ago (Edited 6192d ago )

Here are my arguments
Mgs4 was such an outstanding achievement on every area the xbox 360 lacks,huge environment only possible because of the cell processor and rsx (if u think the xbox is more powerful than the ps3 u are just plain retarded and u are being such a fanboy ,u should take ur face out of Microsoft a$$),blu ray is needed in other to exceed mgs4 quality (50 gig compressed =6.25 Double layer dvd and thats only mgs4),and the most important of all is U ARE NOT PLAYING AS SNAKE .It's going to be MEtal gear solid vr missions all over again, u played as the ultra mega awesome and badass cyborg ninja(sounds familiar)gray fox to bad it suck .
P.S. Kojima is only producing it not directing it .

Pootangpie6192d ago

you sony fanboys say that about all your games even Littlebigplanet lol Sorry I saw MGS4 and It wasn't very impressive looking and besides MGS4 has sony references in it anyone with half a brain would know it was an exclusive for there console espically considering that Rising isn't even a sequal or a main game in the series it's a spinoff for all we know

281219866192d ago

and you knw everything bout the game right...how the plot is constructed its new visual poweress everything... I still want to see wat they offer before making up my mind

281219866192d ago

than blabbering anything that comes off your mouth...Kojima is a well respected man he would not have given it to a bunch of individuals who did not know wat gaming was...Rising still has a long way to go...

soxfan20056192d ago

The worst type of fanboys are the ones who hope for the failure of a major game for their own console. MGSR will be a MAJOR release for both 360 and PS3, yet some here are hoping it fails, thereby hoping a major PS3 game fails, simply because a great MGSR game for PS3 would also mean a great MGSR for 360, and that is intolerable to some fanboys.

beardpapa6192d ago

@Sox

I agree with you but i think this time I'm going to have to side w/ the guys hoping the game fails. MGS2 was pretty neat and MGS4 was even better, but I felt it was lacking something. The storyline also isn't for everybody. If I had to pick between MGSR or Conviction, I think i'd get Conviction. On a side note though, I just recently picked up Fable 2 when the price went down at Fry's and I'm quite disappointed. The story is cliche, it's not as open-ended as it was advertised, combat sorta sucks, interface couldve been better, and it's quite buggy. I hope Fable 3 (if it ever comes to fruition) fails. Actually, anything that Peter Molyneux promised had failed IMO... even his Black & White games. I thought BW2 would be better than the first but boy it was just the same ol same ol.

Giant_Enemy_Sackboy6192d ago

Than the xbox 360 ,i dont see where is thefanboynism there ,i actually see fanboynism saying otherwise . Hey i said all that because of expirience not because i dont like it ,it would be stupid more since its a multiplatform game . The only thing im sad is that many people want all the good franchises to lower its quality in order to have it on their console thats really sad even worse is people saying that's fanboynism.

soxfan20056192d ago

Bigger doesn't always mean better (as far as # of GB's go). After all, isn't the next "true" MGS game - Peace Walker - going to be on PSP? On a 2GB UMD? If you think that putting a game on 360 automatically means lower quality, you must really have low expectations for the PSP game.

N4realGMRZ6192d ago

I figured u didnt know much about game when u go around saying you know its gonna suck because....you havnt played it yet? what are u? 13? i almost took you seriously. shame on me i guess.

MGS4 honestly nothing bout the game screamd next generation...Guys I know I'll get a billion disagrees on this but uncharted and Heavenly sword looked better than MGS4.The action sequences were good but it was nothing to blow anyones mind away....I still think MGS3 is the best in the series...Rising am swallowing with skepticism, its like Bioshock 2 sans the original creator...a hard work to follow up

GiantEnemyCrab6192d ago

The scenes on the motorbike and in the mech were pretty amazing in my opinion. Also the epic battle at the end of the game.

I agree Heavenly and Uncharted are both awesome but MGS4 had several OMFG moments in it for me.

beardpapa6192d ago

gonna agree with you and crab on this. The Raiden/Vamp scene was awesome, piloting Rex was fantastic, and the last scene vs Ocelot was like an interactive "western" showdown movie. However the rest of the game didn't seem next-gen. Graphics-wise it seemed like a hi-def version of what could be a PS2 game. Presentation-wise it was spectacular. Even though I didn't like the story much or the last scene, I thought it was very touching and emotional seeing Old Snake talk to Big Boss and lighting that last cigar for him, and even more touching when Big Boss told Snake to go live the last bits of his life.

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.

ravinash3414d 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.

JunMei3414d 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.

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.'

Agent20094608d 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.

Nyxus4608d 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.

-Foxtrot4608d 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_BATT0USAI4608d 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.

-Foxtrot4608d ago

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

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

Dagobert4608d 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.

zeal0us4608d ago

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

ChipChipperson4608d ago (Edited 4608d 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.

Nyxus4608d 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.

Murad4608d 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.

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.

TheDivine4608d 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.
