the MGS:R 360 exclusive threads are slowing down but I think we need a sticky. IMO it should have been common sense that if its going to the 360 it would be going to the PS3

Sony also gets the true sequel to MGS, MGS: Peace Walker. Isn't MGS Rising just a spinoff?

MGS RISING is indeed a very sad and forced spin off, Hideo Kojima said himself that the whole team behind MGS4 is now working on peace walker for the PsP which is the true sequel on the MGS saga.

Yeah, it wouldn't make sense for a character with a good chunk of his story on PS3/PS2 to be exclusive to 360. I know devs do funny things sometimes but that would have totally been the oddest move ever.

MS would have had to pay a HUGE amount of money for Kojima to make it exclusive seein as how well MGS4 sold.

Yes, from what was talked about at E3 sounds like a spin off like MG: VR Missions was back on the PSOne. Well maybe not to the same extent as that but still.

Well its not like every dev sees the green and goes for it. Some of them still do it as an extension of their creativity. MS could've moneyhatted them but I couldn't see this game selling too well on 360 alone.

He said Peace Walker was a "real" MGS game and not a spinoff, I dont think he out right calls MGSR a spinoff but it is implied pretty heavily.

What's funny is the only MGS game to go to a MS platform was MGS2 which starred Raiden and now they get another Raiden game. No Snakes for 360 = no true MGS for 360. Anyway, its just a spin-off done up by a whole other group of devs. I really think Konami pushed it so A.) Fans would finally get that Raiden ninja game they've been begging for, and B.) 360 fans would finally get that MGS game they've been begging for. It was a no-brainer. An instant money maker. A total win for Konami and Kojima alike. I really think that's the only reason it happened. And to be honest, while I'm totally ecstatic for MGS Rising I really wanna get my hands on what Kojima is actually working on..... MGS: Peace Walker. 4 snakes! 4 snakes!?!?? Mind = Blown

He said that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was the true squeal in the Metal Gear franchise, and that he had a deep involvement in it as well as the development team from MGS:4. Makes us wonder who exactly is working on MGS: Rising.

Oh makes sense then. Hopefully this doesn't mean the MGS:R won't be any less of a game then what it could be.

If MS could buy off Kojima I assure you MGS4 would have been ported long ago. I think he just gave him the best he was willing to offer.

I took it as saying it wasn't like MGS: PO...

and also, him saying the development team is working on the PSP game doesn't mean they aren't helping with MGS:Rising too. that team has to be huge.

or maybe they are mainly focusing on MGS:Rising and helping with the PSP game? who knows.

Incase you haven't noticed MGS:PW is set in the 1970's. That means it's a sequel to portable ops which was a sequel to MGS:3 Since you play Riaden in MGS:R you are playing a sequel taking place after MGS 4. That is unless you want to call MGS:SOL a non sequel just because you play as Riaden instead of snake, which in that case would make MGS 4 a spinoff also since it's a sequel of a spinoff.

The fact KOjima specified who was working on Peace Walker. It was also strange how much he stressed the fact that PW is a true MGS game.

By that logic MGS3 would also be aSpinoff as you play as Big Boss not solid. Meaning every game in the MGS series is just a spin off other then the first one

No it would be a prequel set in the same series, which is what it is. MGS3 is not a spin-off and neither is MGS2 nor MGS:R. The only thing different between MGS2 and MGS:R is the fact that Kojima is not secretly putting you as Raiden, but rather making him the main character.

Kojima has expressed his support for Raiden in the past and spent an entire game building him up to be as badass as possible, it was obvious where he was heading with the series.

Also a key part is that it is still in the Solid series and not a new series like the difference between Metal Gear and Metal Gear solid.

It could very well take place before MGS4, showing us how Raiden came to be. We don't know anything yet, unless I've missed some major info lol.

I don't see anywhere for Raiden to go after MGS4.

Couple things. 1. He was saying it was a true sequel to MGS 3. 2. You are inferring that he is implying that he was referring to MSGR. 3. The spinoff/side story and him working on the game was in reference to the 4 other MG games on the PSP.

Kojima has expressed his support for Raiden in the past and spent an entire game building him up to be as badass as possible, it was obvious where he was heading with the series.

Also a key part is that it is still in the Solid series and not a new series like the difference between Metal Gear and Metal Gear solid.

that is true but at this time all we can do is speculate since very little is known about this game.

[QUOTE="justforlotr2004"] Incase you haven't noticed MGS:PW is set in the 1970's. That means it's a sequel to portable ops which was a sequel to MGS:3 Since you play Riaden in MGS:R you are playing a sequel taking place after MGS 4. That is unless you want to call MGS:SOL a non sequel just because you play as Riaden instead of snake, which in that case would make MGS 4 a spinoff also since it's a sequel of a spinoff.

By that logic MGS3 would also be a sequal as you play as Big Boss not solid.

No it would be a prequel set in the same series, which is what it is. MGS3 is not a spin-off and neither is MGS2 nor MGS:R. The only thing different between MGS2 and MGS:R is the fact that Kojima is not secretly putting you as Raiden, but rather making him the main character.

where do u get your facts from snake was in mgs 2. Im just stating what the man said.

A majority of the game is played as Raiden not Snake. With Special Ops on the PSP he didn't have full support behind it so he wants to put emphasis on that he and his team will be fully supporting MGS: PW.

Really? what did he say?

BosoxJoe5

he said that mgs peace walker is a true sequal in that mgs franchise. Its not a spinoff or side story.

Couple things. 1. He was saying it was a true sequel to MGS 3. 2. You are inferring that he is implying that he was referring to MSGR. 3. The spinoff/side story and him working on the game was in reference to the 4 other MG games on the PSP.

i was just curious as to why he would say that about peace walker and not MGS:R.

It could very well take place before MGS4, showing us how Raiden came to be. We don't know anything yet, unless I've missed some major info lol.

I don't see anywhere for Raiden to go after MGS4.

Then it's not a spin-off just as playing as Big-Boss is not a spin-off of the series. Raiden has been a main character through the series so a prequel to MGS 4 would still be in the realm of the solid series, simple as that - It's not that hard to understand.

I'm not debating if it's a spin off or not, I don't care if it is lol. I get a new MGS and I'm happy.

Kinda interesting that Kojima makes sure to say that the PSP game is NOT a spin off.

Guess we know what to label Rising.

Return-Fire

More like Sony damage control.

More like Sony damage control? :|

Seriously? The CREATOR of the SERIES. Make specefic note that "THIS" title is not a spin off a day after Rising is announced and you call it damage control? Sorry buddy but the CREATORS opinion outdoes the ones of fanboys on the internet.

Anyway I couldn't care less if its a sequel, prequel or a spinoff as long as its on the quailty of MGS4 and has as deep of a storyline as the rest of the solid series.

does anybody else think that MGS Rising will be about how Raiden rescued Sunny? I mean that story was fairly untold for the most part.
