Metal Gear Solid Rising: Developer Interview

The creators behind Metal Gear Solid: Rising discuss cutting gameplay, where Raiden fits in the Metal Gear timeline, and hints at a possible appearance from Snake.

Batzi5768d ago

If so then Rising wins! else epic fail :D

El-Fenemeno12135768d ago

If the game is between MGS2 and MGS4, if we see snake will he be old or young snake

R2D25768d ago

where Raiden was missing and no one knew where he was and when he returnd he was a changed man.

Colonel-Killzone5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

o.0 what does he mean they are not really concentrating on pleasing the MGS fans wtf kind of nonsense is that. My god they are taking the same route as ff13. I mean if you started a whole new story great but your just filling in the gaps with raiden which is still important. Ughhh I have a feeling I will be disappointed by this story. The fans comes first then the new comers. We have seen what happens when you neglect the core fans and concentrate on bringing new comers. The results never end well.

Unicron5768d ago

Indeed. You want to branch out the franchise, fine. But make it an insular or new story. Don't try to fill in main MGS events with a game not aimed at MGS fans I feel.

Kurylo3d5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

I will be honest with you, metal gear solid 4 was awesome way to end the story, but there was too many cutscenes... It made the game stupid and made you not want to run through the game a second time. Beleive me i tried... its like u have to wait 20-30 min just to start playing the game.

I think a change is good. MGS4 was change from the rest of the metal gear series... and i think it was change in a bad way. The gameplay camera was too much like gears of war and the cutscenes were just irritating after a while. This is change in a good way. Everyones always wanted to play as one of the cyborg ninjas. They are making a fun balanced game thats not a long cutscene.

ZombieAutopsy5768d ago

You know you can skip the cutscenes right?

Eamon5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

Colonel-Killzone,

just admit it. You've hated this game as soon as you found out it's multiplatform.
Your previous comments all suggest this.

Let's not judge games before getting a proper look at it first please.

Colonel-Killzone5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

Link me to that comment. Because I never posted anything about me hating this since it went Multiplatform. Please Shut the fuck up.

I don't know whats wrong with some of you idiots on this site. But when someone express something about a Franchise that used to be a playstation exclusive you assume oh they are ranting because its coming to the xbox 360. I could care fucking less honestly.

I said he just said in the damn video We are not focusing on the core fans but attracting new comers. Like wtf ?? Thats a slap in the face to the fans. And I mention FF13 because they slapped us in face also the with their lies and the disappointing story and also key elements that were missing from the game.

Eamon5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

lol, only just saw your reply.

Your excuses are pitiful. If the name of the game wasn't Metal Gear Solid, you'd be having a completely different opinion about this.

They've told us numerous times that this is a spinoff. That's why they are focusing on newcomers. If you had a couple of braincells you'd understand that means storywise it won't be so heavily focused on the previous games like MGS4 was.
If you played MGS4, you'd know that you would not be able to understand a single thing in the story unless you played MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3.

That's what they mean't by newcomers. As we know, this is a spinoff, so to start a new story for newcomers to understand should be obvious.

And about FF13. Why the hell are you comparing it? These are completely different developers. Kojima Productions is not Square-Enix fool! How can you doubt Kojima Productions after every single game they have made has been both extremely successful and praised.
And Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are completely different genres and characters and themes. ROFL

Snakefist305768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

Dude Its not abut multiplatform its abut the game story and gameplay.If they cannot get those tat wat we Die Hard MGS fans wanted.It wud be total FAIL!!!! MGS Is All Abut Shooting and Stealth Not Hack N SLASH.It will be total dissapointed for gamers who havnt played MGS before they will not get the feel tat we hav got from the previous MGS series.They will think tat MGS is all abut HACK N SLASH.

Duke Spookem5768d ago

Because after you play Rising and listen to their irrelevant storyline you'll realize that at best it's nothing but a fanfic and by the end of the game the same gaps will still be there. The game isn't being directed by Kojima so the story doesn't matter at all and it won't be canon regardless of all their PR talk.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nyxus3119d ago

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

TheVetOfGaming3119d 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.

Erik73573363d ago

People use to have more support for Donald on here, was almost half and half...not anymore lol...people we're like "Ohh he wont do that he just said that in his camapign, he wont actually go through with building a wall and banning muslims noooo"

Utalkin2me3363d 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.

ravinash3363d 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.

JunMei3363d 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.

Bathyj3363d ago

Agreed. I wonder where all these people complaining about Trump were on voting day.

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.'

Agent20094557d 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.

Nyxus4557d 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.

-Foxtrot4557d 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_BATT0USAI4557d 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.

-Foxtrot4557d ago

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

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

Dagobert4557d 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.

zeal0us4557d ago

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

ChipChipperson4557d ago (Edited 4557d 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.

Nyxus4557d 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.

Murad4556d 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.

ZBlacktt4557d ago (Edited 4557d 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.

TheDivine4556d 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.
