How dare you insult Quinton Flynn! D: Lol I love his voice acting.

**Niiro** · 2011-12-12 18:56

His voice is cool when he's all ninja-fied, has that overly calm, deep, throaty undertone like he's doing his own Batman voice.

From Eurogamer;

Apparently, with the new name comes a new focus: no longer a sequential part of the Metal Gear Solid series, the game is a spin-off that takes place “several years after MGS4.” As for the slicing and cutting and whatnot, now the game allows players to “slash enemies and objects wherever and whenever you want,” but not EVERYTHING. “The original Rising let you slash everything, even things near and far in the background. However, this ended up destroying the game design,” explains the post.

The old build of the game was running at 30 fps, and had “complicated controls.” To ensure that the game lived up to his vision, Kojima had simple instructions for the game’s new developers, he wrote on Twitter: “I made one request of Platinum: a cool Raiden who moves nice and smooth at 60 frames per second.”

How can it take place several years after MGS4? Didn't he get his shit removed after 4?

**Kiarax** · 2011-12-13 01:01

I'm pretty sure it was still a cybernetic body at the end of 4, just made him look more human. Also gave Platinum the opportunity to both fill the world with cyborgs to beat the shit out of and an excuse to have Raiden go nuts again (judging from the whole revenge shit either Rose or their son is gonna bite the dust I'm guessing).

Between "the Patriots did it" and "nanomachines did it" there is nothing in an MGS game that can't be easily explained away.

I was about to say lol.

**Souj** · 2011-12-13 01:27

so wait, is this another game separate from the original Metal Gear Rising we've been hearing about for a long time now, or did Konami ditch that game and just change it into this?
Either way, Platinum Games and a fucking cyborg ninja is all I need to hear to make it a day 1 purchase for me.
reminds me that I'm still like only 1 trophy away from Vanquish Platinum Trophy though. Goddamned last challenge!

Pretty much. Kojima gave the game to P+ in a half-assed state and told them to go nuts with it.

Kojima: Those Who Want Stealth Metal Gear Should Wait For Sequel

Hideo Kojima and Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba met with the press in Los Angeles today to discuss Metal Gear Rising. I presume transcripts from the Q&A will surface at some point, but here's somewhat of a preview from Kojima's Twitter.

Kojima says that he received nothing but the same questions today during the Q&A.

This appears to be the main point he wants people to take about Rising: The previous version of Rising originally aimed to have refreshing, fast action with Raiden as main character. It was meant to be what one would call a spinoff title. The new Rising from Platinum Games has the same concept.

"For those who are hoping for a stealth style MGS, this will definitely appear at some point, so please wait for a true sequel."

In other Kojima Twitter news, check out Kojima's stylin' threads:

The one at the top is a "Raiden" shirt (that's the kanji for the Raiden character). There are only two of these in the whole world. Kojima and Inaba both wore these shirts today.

The one at the bottom is the "Rai" from Raiden. Kojima wore this for his VGA appearance. Inaba wore the counterpart, the "Den" from Raiden. As with the Raiden shirt, there are just two of each of these. Kojima says he's going to give his extra Rai to Inaba in exchange for Inaba's extra Den.

as much of a MGS fan as I am, that trailer made gameplay look weak. raiden spamming sword swings looks an awful lot like hayabusa in ninja gaiden 2 :/

**Salodin** · 2011-12-13 18:15

Da hell you talking about? Hayabusa doesn't have anything on some of those moves, and Hayabusa is one of the most bad ass ninjas in entertainment history!

Am I missing something, or how is this in any way a bad thing O_o

**ikariiiii** · 2011-12-13 18:31

i wouldnt say bad, but I at least expected a little more innovation than that.

I'm with you on this one, go back and look at the MGS4 gameplay vids, the ones with Raiden vs. The Gekkos, and Raiden vs. Vamp Part 1, and Raiden vs. Vamp Part 2. Whenever Raiden is fighting his moves are deliberate and calculated. Revengence looks like Raiden just went full retard, I expected the gameplay to be less flashy and more realistic looking. I did not expect to see Ninja Gear Cry 3.

That being said, I'll buy it and enjoy it anyway. I want fucking Zone of the Enders 3 some day.

The innovation is being able to cut enemies to ribbons, if that isn't good enough nothing is.

Though I am curious to what innovations you were looking for?

**Kiarax** · 2011-12-13 20:58

Nobody wanted to cut people to ribbons, they wanted to cut watermelons. RIP Rising we barely knew ye.
