Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

I too have mixed feelings about this game. As a huge Metal Gear Solid fan myself I know what makes a good Metal Gear game and I know what Hideo does in order to create that.

And that's just it…

Hideo Kojima is not working on this game, at the very least hes producing it. Mr. Kojima pulled out of this game because it was not being made the way he wanted. Instead he worked on Peace Walker and that turned out to be game of the year for PSP in 2010. This means Rising will not bear the title of being a “Hideo Kojima Game”.

A Metal Gear game is all about tactical espionage action, meaning heavy stealth elements in the game. However this is not the style of Rising. Its more of a head on hack and slash approach. Which in its own way is fine, but for me does not define it as a Metal Gear game.

Don't get me wrong though it still looks fantastic, the graphics and intense action do make it appealing. But as a die hard Metal Gear fan, knowing its not going to be made by Hideo Kojima and knowing its going to be completely different form the other Metal Gear games makes Rising a spin off at the very least.

this game is going to be a masterpiece judging from the E3 trailer it's going to be visually stunning, fun and gory hopefully it will be a worthy game of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, check out the new trailer on IGN.com.

You cannot replace Snake. MGS1 built him up to legendary status and left an unbeatable legacy, all the while MGS2 and 4 (More so the latter) tried to slowly kill off the hero we'd all grown to love, something I am terribly bitter about. Raiden was always a bitter subject to me, particularly in MGS2 where he more or less attempted to replace snake for 80% of the game, yet here he is again, this time with Snake gone for good. I probably won't be getting this day one, but I will be keeping an eye on things

I think a lot of people are on the fence about this game. It arrived with an exciting premise and an exciting but small glimpse into its game-play only to vanish and reemerge later as a completely overhauled project. Now that it has left the hands of Konami I think many gamers will be doubtful if this game is hold a Metal Gear name. Only time will tell if Raiden will be able to hold his own in this over the top slice and dice action game.

Introducing Raiden…

MGS has a superb Legacy and i personally think is the Greatest Stealth game ever but Raiden has big shoes to replace. All i know is it will not be the same but it will be the new Generation of MGS.

what more to say..
all i'm expecting is..

• stealth-like-gameplay
• beautiful graphics
• the trends of bosses
• movie-like cutscenes

and of course LIGHTNING BOLT ACTION>
