metal gear solid

[Gambit]

Eh, I'm a little skeptical of this. Totally underestimated Kojima when he said that it will be very hard for the traditional fans to get into. I'm glad they dropped the "Solid" out of the title however.
METAL GEAR SOLID: RISING was a spin-off intended to feature the actions and transformation of Raiden, one of METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY’s main characters, in the lead-up to METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS.
However, after Platinum Games came on board, the story was changed to take place several years after METAL GEAR SOLID 4 to give them more of an opportunity to show off what they can bring to the series. Cyborgs are spreading at a rapid pace in the game’s world, resulting in earth-shattering superhuman action at every turn!
The original aim for a combination of stealth and action has also been enhanced, for a more aggressive new focus on pure, exhilarating action.

What the..Who is Petey the pervert up there?

This is not the Metal Gear franchise I loved.

Well well well, looks like the rumors of Platinum Games developing Metal Gear Solid Rising turned out to be true! Spike TV reveal trailer below.

Definitely interested in this game now. Story and voice acting seems a little cheesy and over-the-top, but I honestly wasn't expecting much of a story, nor do I really care. I think that's probably why they removed the Solid from the title. Glad Quntiun Flynn is voicing Raiden though, and it does seem somewhat consistent with the MGS4 backdrop, so I expect nothing short of awesome. Hell, anyone who was thinking about buying the next dmc game should just get this instead. It certainly feels like a real DmC/Bayonetta game.

This isn't that surprising.

1. He has a reputation for wanting to end the series or at least step down as director and then come back to making another one.

2. It's not really required to have "THE" Solid Snake to lead your MGS title.

3. Peace Walker was made to originally be MGS5 anyway.

But I digress. This HD collection rules, but it's not exactly as perfect as I believed it to be. Surprisingly there's a couple of bugs in the PS3 version.

[Gambit]

Seriously, can someone just point out where exactly did Kojima confirm MGS5? On the Official Playstation magazine, it says "The latest Rising and Metal Gear Solid 5 details." That doesn't tell us anything, really. I think it's all speculation over the cover.

Edit: In regards to the second image, I guess Kojima really wanted Snake and Otacon to be executed .

[GuardhouseMusic]

Yeah, the series is Kojima's gift/curse. It makes money, he obsessively coddles it like Gollum does the ring, so we can always expect a new one directed by him on the horizon.

It may well be a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2, which I'd welcome with open arms. I'm all for doing battle with those deadly poisonous Zanzibar hamsters.

[Darkmoon]

May I just be the first to say, 'Wow, what I shock, I really thought he meant it when he said MGS4 was the last one, I wasn't expecting this at all!'

So, how is Snake going to get Youngified?

[GuardhouseMusic]

Sorry for the relative thread necromancy. I mean, I just wanted to post a minor upda-KOJIMA CONFIRMS METAL GEAR SOLID 5.

Let the speculation and skepticism roll right in.

Ene and I are getting it on PS3. I don't have mine yet since I had to buy the limited collector's edition from Gamestop's site. Amazon and the Gamestop locations I went to only have the LE available on Xbox 360. Ain't that a bitch?

But if you have Peace Walker you may as well get it on PS3 to make use of Transfarring. I don't know if it's "the way of the future" but it certainly will be helpful to transfer my game saves back and forth.
