[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

[QUOTE="zarshack"] actually, i think the solid isnt in reference to snake, but to the game being in 3d.

Episode_Eve

Interesting, that reminds me of an old PSM interview with Kojima from the 90's...

Well, in any event, you have just confirmed that this latest nonkojima endevour will be in 3D! So, one mystery is finally solved. :)

I was hoping for a 2.5D side-scrolling beat-em-up :(. Not to worry though, I'm sure the next MG game exclusive to PS3 will be in 4D :D.

At 120 fps too!

If it ends up being a Hack & Slash hopefully more action orientated game, it better be on the level of Ninja Gaiden series and Devil May Cry 3 with production value on the level of God of War, hopefully.

And I'm sure that if they wanted to change the gameplay that much, they woul have simply called it Metal Gear Rising. Or Metal Gear Raiden. Just what they did with Metal Gear Ac!d. Besides, "Lighting Bolt Action" could mean anything. And nothing.

It could be anything you're right. I just think the signs are pointing to it being more action-oriented.

Well, we shouldn't have to worry about the production values. Let's see how the design and execution falls into place.

Well wasn't MGS4 already pretty action oriented? I also think they stated at his conference it will be a stealth game.

So considering the development time for MGS4 on the PS3, how long until we can expect this one when it has three platforms to consider?

MGS4 is a perfect balance of the two. It's just that the action is so fun and fine-tuned that it overshadowed the choice of stealth (which was just as good). It was also the first time the franchise has had really great action-design implementation.

LIGHTENING BOLT ACTION! right in the spot where "TACTICAL ESPIONAGE ACTION" was...

Right on the cover, that and the fact, it isn't being directed by the Man himself (KOJIMA).

Still, this should be fun and hold us over until MGS5!

IT may be A LOT like MGS3's Hidden ACTION Game, remember that, true gamers?

SolidTy

that freaking tripped me out the next time i loaded the game at the *mumbles* after snake was *mumbles* and he meets johnny's grandpa or w/e

Maybe 2011, late 2010 if they're like Insomniac lol. Especially considering the development of a new engine.

Just more proof that the MGS4 engine cannot run on the X360. The team will have to create a new engine from scratch so that the crappy X360 can run it.

Or maybe this just means the MGS4 engine is complete crap and they decided to make a new engine that will work on all platforms similar to Square's Crystal Tools?

It's most likely that the MGS4 engine isn't optimized for the 360 and PC. So they thought the easiest route to go would be make a new one.

I wouldn't say it was implement really well, considering the whole alert system was still there, which sent endless respawning enemies at you if you took the action route. But it's was a start.

It's not. It's called Metal Gear Rising.:lol:

It's the best the genre has seen so far. I'm eager to see how well Ubi implements it in Conviction. I don't think the alert system degraded the balance though. Because you could go stealth anytime and get them off your tail.

[QUOTE="Giancar"]you were one of the most MGS4 haters here (if not the most) and now you are hyping this one.... what has happened with you this last month...? I liked a lot of your posts and threads....BioShockOwnz

I've ALWAYS been consistent with my crys for a Ninja Raiden. This isn't a normal Metal Gear game. Why do you guys keep trying to start crap with me? Tone it down, fella's. Stick to the game, not to me. It's becoming a problem. I think it's pretty obvious to 90% of people that this is a completely different Metal Gear. And I also like some of the franchise, but not MGS4. Deal with it. Opinions are like... well ya know, and they all stink. That's life. Move on.

They already said it's a stealth game.

I think the *new* tag-line "Lightning Bolt Action", *ninja* Raiden, and the fact that Kojima isn't apart of the team weighs heavier to signs pointing to a more action-oriented game. Akin to DMC, NG, Bayonetta. I'm sure the "Solid" in the title was retained to keep franchise identity. Though the game should be good and if it is "hack n slash" to whatever degree, the game won't be mindless or generic I assume.

I don't think it will be purely hack and slash. It's gonna be stealth as well. HE'S A NINJA! They will come up with some cool stuff I'm sure. But no Kojima :(. Awww looks like Kojima's masterpiece won't come to the 360 after all :P.

Start crap with you? :| Actually if you have read all the threads being directed at you, I,ve been defendig you all the times I have posted... and you know what I mean, this seems to be an alright spinoff MGS game...and you you are hyping it...

And I prefer MGS4-era Raiden to anyone in the franchise. Hackin' & slashin' badass. That's it. If I got to play as him in MGS4, then I would've loved it. His scenes were so epic.

Soo true , yeah it was even cheesier than DMC4 , but I loved .Actually he can stop huge ships without his arms let's hope he is nerfed :lol:

I think if it wasn't a stealth game, it wouldn't be called Metal Gear Solid.

It's become such a brand name, that it can't be called anything else...besides, Solid, is for Solid Snake.He must make an appearance, or they are just using the name, again, due to branding.

It takes place during Solid's Snakes escapades (As opposed to Naked Snake, etc.), it only makes sense.

No it's not, Kojima has said in the past that the SOLID was put into place for the transformation to 3d when it came out to PS1. That is what i read, but maybe it was put in for both reasons. What do you think?

While I agree Raiden was a badass in his cutscenes, he whined 10x more in MGS4 than in MGS2...it was better when he was not talking and just slashing.

MGS4 is more stealthy than actiony. The game encourages stealth but makes the action fun enough (and playable this time) for players that lose their patience quickly.

"We're redoing the engine from scratch, and it's going to look amazing," says Eyestone. "It's going to be a big project like Metal Gear Solid 4. The entire team is serious about making it look as good as possibleon every platform."

The title Rising is a pun of sorts. The Japanese pronunciation "Raijin" is a word play on a mythic Japanese storm god. The character name "Raiden" means "thunder and lightning" in Japanese. Geddit?

The title also has significance in English: "It's raising the Metal Gear franchise up to the next step."

Man, I can't wait to play as Raiden hacking and slashing around like the badass he's become. :)

The title Rising is a pun of sorts. The Japanese pronunciation "Raijin" is a word play on a mythic Japanese storm god. The character name "Raiden" means "thunder and lightning" in Japanese. Geddit?

The title also has significance in English: "It's raising the Metal Gear franchise up to the next step."

Man, I can't wait to play as Raiden hacking and slashing around like the badass he's become. :)

If it was exclusive to PS3, you wouldn't be saying that.

I'm not excited about this milkage at all, and I'm a blind MGS fanboy. I'll get it sure (just like Peace Walker which I'm not excited about either), but that's only because I feel obligated too. ;) I'm not looking forward to hack 'n slash fest with Raiden explaining a story we could probably go without. Same goes for Peace Walker. I wish they would just end the series. :(

It's not a hack and slash though, it's a stealth game.

"Lightning Bolt Action." Doubt it's a stealth game.

Eh, I'll wait and see. I think it's most likely going to be action with some stealth elements. *Waits for "isn't that what MGS already is?*

It is still a stealth/ action title according to what Kojima said during E3.

No, i think he would be still saying that - I'm saying that and not because it is not exclusive to PS3 but because Kojima, nor all of the MGS4 team, is working on this one as much - they all basically moved to the PSP. How Sad.

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"] I wouldn't say it was implement really well, considering the whole alert system was still there, which sent endless respawning enemies at you if you took the action route. But it's was a start.AAllxxjjnn

Really? I don't remember an endless amount of enemies. Strange.

There were, start the alert system and sit in the area. They'll keep coming.

I think you is wrong mate. It only happened once. According to Chutebox that is.

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

It's become such a brand name, that it can't be called anything else...besides, Solid, is for Solid Snake.He must make an appearance, or they are just using the name, again, due to branding.

It takes place during Solid's Snakes escapades (As opposed to Naked Snake, etc.), it only makes sense.

jasonharris48

No it's not, Kojima has said in the past that the SOLID was put into place for the transformation to 3d when it came out to PS1. That is what i read, but maybe it was put in for both reasons. What do you think?

oh you beat me to it LOL

LOL. I'll let you have it next time then...NOT! MWAHAHAHA.

I doubt it. It seems like people would hype anything that's exclusive.

But who am I to say he would though.
