Metal Gear Solid Rising Theories

XboxEvolved writes: "Every title has a meaning, and "Rising" may mean a lot of things. Quite Frankly, nobody knows anything other than Raiden taking helm of main character of the game. We do know that Raiden means God of thunder and lightning in Japan. The story is very mysterious right now; it's anyone's guess at this point."

I thought this was going show me some theory`s of what the game is .

EDIT

Oh i was wrong it did .

KingKionic 6151d ago

Oh there three....pages .

Big fail on my part .

FamilyGuy6151d ago

It seems obvious to me that this games story will focus on Raiden becoming a cyborg ninja. Rising to the powerful/war damaged state he's in. The story-line will probably start before the first metal gear solid but just as a recap and the parts we actually play are of his escapades between 3 and 4.

dragunrising6151d ago

Game Informer (in their latest issue) seemed to insinuate that Metal Gear Rising may take place before MGS4.

This theory makes sense to me, mainly, because there are large chunks of MGS4 that allude to Raidens adventures prior.

JoySticksFTW6151d ago

Like how Raiden becomes a "Scout", drunken Raiden and his break-up with Rose, His adventures in finding Sunny, who's that doctor (can't remember the name) that he mentions in MGS4 who was able to give him kidney dialysis, him hooking up with Big Mama....

All of that cool sh!t up there needs to be addressed.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS - and if you haven't yet, BUY THE DANG GAME ALREADY!!

What's funny is at the end of MGS4 (after the rolling credits, the father / son conversation, and dying man / friend conversation), the very last thing the player sees is Sunny cracking those eggs into the frying pan. She says...

"They look... yummy. Sort of like the sun. It's RISING again."

Leads me to believe that MG:Rising was definitely already planned, and possibly deep into development by the Kojima's other team.

Aw, yeah... we should be seeing this game soon. :)

And with the MGS4 team on Peace-walker, great time for Metal Gear fans!

beavis4play6151d ago

no going back and filling in raidens story. this really would only work for fans who have followed the series on playstation. why would they fill in story parts that many xbox/360 fans won't be familiar with? it's for this reason that i think "rising" hints at a completely new storyline with Raiden as the lead.

Blaze9296151d ago

well clearly if you owned an Xbox 360, which apparently you dont, you would know that that design fits in with the New Xbox Experience's overall design to match. I put it on my 360 just now and must say it wasn't bad at all.

FamilyGuy6151d ago (Edited 6151d ago )

What part of that ^ did you not understand?

It does NOT look good on either console, only on the 360. Which makes sens as its a xbox site but why say that it looks good on the PS3 too when it does not?

"made specifically for use on PS3 or Xbox 360, but should look just fine on any widescreen monitor. Enjoy."

Screw it, you're right, they said "just fine"

lol, what would a 360 site know about MGS

user39158006151d ago

Unlike G@ylord Nelson M, I can see a franchise for what it is, and I most tell you there was only 2 titles that I was interest in from the PS3, MGS 4 AND LITTLE BIG PLANET.

End result was that MGS4 was nothing more than a game that copy Advent Rising with all the scene and lack of gameplay, little big planet was nothing short of cute and a worthless gaming experience.

PS3 its collecting dust, because the 360 its the better system.

MGS lost its way since MGS3 on ps2, the xbox version was garbage.

Whats good about the next content of MGS? Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites telling how great that crap actually is and receiving ridiculous numbers on metacritics.

ssipmraw6151d ago (Edited 6151d ago )

"MGS lost its way since MGS3 on ps2,"

the OP is right bots dont know anything about metal gear...

CarlosX3606150d ago

But the writer behind the article is a huge Metal Gear fan. That'd be me.

ShadowCK6150d ago (Edited 6150d ago )

So just because it's an Xbox 360 Site this automatically means that they know nothing about Metal Gear Solid? Lol. There are some people in this world who have both consoles. You little nerd.

I was going to say the same thing. What does some bot site know about MGS? It'll sell a million on the 360 - tops. 3.5mil on the PS3.

fccking bot site

The Xbox Empire6151d ago

I hope you actually believe that so you can get real good and shocked when it releases.

Shmotz6151d ago

Detailing how Raiden rises to a Cyborg Ninja I bet.

Also the article says that the MGS4 team is on it when they are not in fact,its a team of New bloods per Kojima(MGS4 team is on MGS:PW). Its on a multi plat engine.

hulk_bash19876151d ago

The MGS4 team is hard at work with MGS Peace Walker, which I am very much looking forward to. But I am also excited to see what direction this new dev team is going to take MGS Rising. The Raiden-Vamp action sequence in MGS4 sparks the imagination of the potential of this new Metal Gear outing.

cyclindk6151d ago

Your avatar makes me wish it was a story about how that "fox" guy became a cyborg, (Grey Fox?); you get to play through his story prior to and INCLUDING his role in the Shadow Moses incident... that would be freaking awesome.

Shmotz6151d ago

I'd also love a game that was pretty much all the battles Snake and Grey Fox were in together.

cayal6151d ago

That Kenichiro Imaizumi has been involved in some damn good games.

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.

@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.

ravinash3404d 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.

JunMei3404d 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.'

Agent20094598d 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.

Nyxus4598d 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.

-Foxtrot4598d 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_BATT0USAI4598d 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.

-Foxtrot4598d ago

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

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

Dagobert4598d 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.

zeal0us4598d ago

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

ChipChipperson4598d ago (Edited 4598d 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.

Nyxus4598d 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.

Murad4598d 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.

ZBlacktt4598d ago (Edited 4598d 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.

TheDivine4598d 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.
