WTF happened to MGS Rising?

YES!!! Because clearly, this totally looks like CoD :lol:madsnakehhh

Cut at will. Oh wait. Nevermind. Only during scripted sequences.ActionRemix

My complaint is that they ditched everything that made the game interesting to me in the first place and replaced it with a generic brawler. Even the graphics took a nose dive. No idea how that happened when we saw a live demo of it last year.ActionRemix

seriously guys?

You thought Rising was going to be good before?

They made it better!

All you was a CGI trailer and Raiden destroying the enivornments. And "generic brawler"? What other brawler is there? This is going to take the best beat 'em up (Bayonetta) and improve on it.Eponique

I put fun in quotes because his concept of fun is not equivalent to my concept of fun. The 2010 game looked like incredible fun. The current game looks horrific.ActionRemix

Who said it would be a hunter stealth? The E3 2010 trailer looks like a beat 'em up to me.Eponique

The old Rising was cancelled for those wondering. We're only getting the game now because Platinum was asked to step in as a dev.

Kojima wasn't involved in development.ActionRemix

[QUOTE="cainetao11"]Its obvious some had preconcieved notions of what this game was going to be. I never once thought it would be a stealth first game. Hence the former moniker,"lighting bolt action". But hey no game is for everyone. lancea34

You mean the trailer where Raidens sword looksl ike it's made out of wood?

Can we just wait to see more gameplay at least? Honestly the trailer only shown bits of the gameplay. And with PG working on this, this game could still be crazy fun.

It landed in the hands ofa competent developer known for making two of the best games of this generation. I'd say things are looking might fine for Rising.

OMG, a potentially playable MGS game; they've betrayed fans of the lengthy unplayable cinematics. Anyhow, I didn't see any breakdance fighting... they gotta have the breakdance fighting like in MGS4 or I'm so not buying it. Leave out the armless fighting with a sword in the mouth, as well as that sappy Raiden family reunion, and I might dish out a few clams. Anyhow, Platinum Games is making this one, which is why I'm showing any interest in it.lamprey263

In this post: MGS4 is the only prior MGS game.

Yeah, like his swords razor sharp, not made out of wood, or blunt :P

Seeing the 2010 version and 2011 version side by side it makes even more apparent how badly the switch to NG style gameplay was needed. :lol:

Man this is my game of the show actually. I love these types of games.

Eh, I don't feel like bumping the other thread, so here's a summary of the recent KojiPro podcast:

• Kamiya isn't directing, more info coming soon
• Rising was cancelled due to lacking gameplay - apparently they had the cutting mechanics and nothing else
• Story was changed to take place years after MGS4 to give Platinum more freedom
• Enemies are all cyborgs

This is the podcast, and this is the translation.

Yeah that's too bad,precision cutting bowling pins and watermelons would have been such a gripping experience. :lol:

No Kamiya definitely killed what little hope I had. Oh well, hopefully his next game will be shown sooner rather than later.

If you people want to kill people in one hit, you can play on the inevitable "Very Easy" mode :lol:Eponique

Combat is not the only problem, and hitting someone with a razor sharp katana would slice them in half. The bigger problem is the original trailer actually resembled Metal Gear. It was over the top but still grounded in some sort of reality. The new trailer looks like Vanquish with swords, and almost cartoony. It looks terrible. How you can't see it is beyond me. :?

Why do I keep seeing people say "Ninja Gaiden type game"? :x

The gameplay doesn't look nearly that good. It completely lacks the necessary enemy AI, speed and precision to be compared directly to NG the way people are doing. And yes, before someone julmps my case, you can tell these things from a video.

It would be like calling some so-so platformer a game a Mario type game just because the character jumps.

Vanquish + Metal Gear Solid? The game will be pimpish!
