Chronocidal Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Ok... just... no. I'm sorry. Yes, it's kind of amusing when someone like superman lifts something like a 747 by the wingtip, but physics do not work that way. Also, the way he cleanly cuts through something about 15 feet across with a blade that's at most 4 feet long, in one swipe.

PetarB Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's like they decided to do everything opposite the MSG franchise., ie: ...stuff this sneaking around stuff, let's just SMASH and CUT everything up in sight ...don't worry about realism, let's just block that mecha's leg with the sword! Having said this, I'm really looking forward to this. Wouldn't it be fun if the second act, Raiden disappeared and you found yourself on Big Shell, playing as Snake...

Chronocidal Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Of course, because that's an anime. That sort of thing is expected. Ki, and all that stuff. In MGS? That's about on par with them adding lightsabers to the splinter cell games. The sword thing, and that style of gameplay, has nothing to do with the way the rest of the entire series was played. Or at least as much as I've seen, I never saw much of 2. You know... stealth... sneaking around... using tranq rifles to knock out people so you can get around them... Not, "ZOMG I AM HUMAN GINSU KNIFE MAN NOW WITH CRAZY LAWNMOWER SKILLZ." Edited December 15, 2011 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I dunno, but I thought it was kinda cool Then again, I've always wanted to play with teh cr@zy skillz of Raid3n But yeah, I REALLY liked the original trailer by Kojima. I wish, even with the designer shift, they used the same engine rather than this random hack 'n slash engine. Graphics would have benefited as well in my opinion. Oh well, its got the title "metal gear", and it stars Raiden. One way or another, it will sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the first game where they decided to stop pretending to be some sort of serious tactical shooter and embrace the utter craziness.

Chronocidal Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hehe. Well I have to admit my main knowledge of the series comes from watching a friend play through Snake Eater. Not terribly realistic no, but I don't remember anything as crazy as lifting a mech like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Do you remember Volgin punching into the Shagohad & controlling it iwth his lighting powers? More directly, I think this is a lesson Kojima is giving his young programmers. Finish your game, or someone else will, and they'll turn it into their own game. It looks like they may just understand the lesson from all the sh!t they had to eat in that interview.

GU-11 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 MGS-R certainly doesn't feel like the MGS I know, but that's not a bad thing. AFAIC, the Solid Snake saga ended with Guns of the Patriots, and Cyborg Raiden obviously does things very differently from Snake. Overall, I don't think it would be all that different play-wise. I remember reading an interview once, where the game designers vowed not to reward players for high kill-rates, as its their policy not to promote violence. Pretty contradictory policy for a game that allows you to chop the limbs off of your enemies. Anyways, it'll most probably still revolve around sneaking past the enemy as much as possible, but with a some modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You know why the new trailer for rising doesn't feel like MGS? it's because at no point in the trailer is there a woman with her shirt open showing off her cleavage for no apparent reason.

Personally, I'm going to wait and see what the reviews are like when the game out before deciding whether to buy it or not. I already know it's not Metal Gear Solid as I know it, but I'm waiting to see if MGS-R is a game I'd like in and of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity they used Platinum Game's already existing engine instead of Kojima's one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 and in case you think that's only from the most recent games... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twM6uCXUs40 I hated what they did in Twin Snakes. Too much Matrix style action. Snake doing a backflip as a missile flies underneath while managing to use it as a jumping board. The original MGS had its' own "out there" scenes but nothing as nearly exaggerated as these or what you see now in MGS:R. I think I'm gonna pass on this one though. Just deviates too far from what I really enjoyed about the Metal Gear franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegablue Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The next MGS which is 5, is strongely rumoured to be unvealed soon. Obviously with just some teasers and etc. The story will either be based as a direct continuation to MGS4, but more into the future. Or on the original Boss and her team during WW2. Without a doubt for Kojima letting go full of dedication with Rising, means he's already working on the next PROPER MGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look dude, just like most MGS fans that have been following Kojima for a long time, have learned one thing about his long career, and that is he hints alot between alot of blank sentences.

The former tells us it won't be a hack-and-slash, but the latter shows otherwise. Based on the trailers, I was half-expecting a Tenchu/Ninja Gaiden hybrid, until an article I read said it's the design team's policy not to encourage mass-killing.

Archer Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Apparently, someone related to the Rising project has mentioned that just as before, it will be possible to complete the entire game without killing a single individual, save for those that must die of course (like story characters and what not). Don't know how that is gonna be possible when your cutting peoples' arms and legs off though, and severely mutilating them to progress further.... Maybe you'll zap them with a low voltage charge using your "I am Lightning" powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I just wish the Rising team would make up its damn mind what kind of game they want this to be. I hope they won't try to copy Deus Ex - Human Revolution in giving you freedom to use deadly force, but then skewing the level-up system and forcing you to go the stealth route.

Archer Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Honestly, I don't know why Kojima really switched their project to a different production team. The MGS4 engine they were using was beautifully rendered, and the subject material and era was sensical as well. Kojima's excuse was that they didn't really know what to do to progress Raiden's abilities and whatnot (i.e. player development, such as new weapons), but honestly, I think they could have fit in what the Bayonetta studio did in the new trailer into the old engine. Would have been heck of a lot better decision imho. Raiden's really cool, and one way or another, MGS fans will pick this up. Even Kojima should know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actaully wasn't the MGS4 engine. Was a new one but still using the same lighting and render. But yeah, obviously Platinum used there's.
