Metal Gear Solid: Rising - Coming to Xbox 360

Archive: 51 posts


The end of the Microsoft conference contains a large blow to the PS3 franchise. The Metal Gear series has lost its exclusivity and will be coming up on multiple platforms.

It's called Metal Gear Solid: Rising and contains Raidin as the main character.

"Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Raidin is Back!"

I can't say I wanted this to happen, the series was one of the reasons for people to by a PS3.

Still, it doesn't trouble me too much, unless their version is slightly better.

You should see GameTrailers. 8 out of 10 threads are locked because they're all just fanboy rants.

He could release it on gameboy for all I care. I am just not interested in jumping around as a cyborg ninja. Had enough of Raiden with MGS2. No more no matter how cool he looks. I don't have much left for that character. I want to play as Snake!2009-06-01 20:31:00

Oh no I'm gonna cry!

People are such babies.

As Snake's story is over, I think it's a good time to make it multiplat. But how will it sell on the 360? Only time will tell.

Snake's story is over but there's plenty of room to go back in time and fill out the gaps. He just died that's all.2009-06-01 20:38:00

Yeah, Snake's story is over... but... so is Raidens :O

Really, there is nothing to go with after MGS4 logically, and I don't want them to bleed it out...

But... what can Raiden be that is a Ninja...? His adventures before MGS4 but after Sunny...? Man, this... seems terrible O_O.

obviously the Xbox360 version won't be as good as MGS4.
now before you call me a fanboy, it's true since the Xbox isn't capable of such a big game as MGS4.

why is it still called Metal Gear SOLID, that's my question. Solid Snake is no longer the center of the story, so let's move on already!

Anyway, I thought the trailer was kind of hilarious. Rather than "Tactical Espionage Action", it says "Lightning Bolt Action". Really??

"Metal Gear Solid... RISING!!!", the voice-over declares importantly.

Kojima says it's going to be a very different type of game. I'm already imagining more action-oriented, like Ninja Gaiden (but less Sega-Arcade style).

Remember the game in MGS3? The nightmare mini-game in the prison? That's what I think it will be like. I think they should call it Metal Gear Raiden or Metal Gear Rising.

I love how people treat the console wars like a soap opera.

That already sounds better than Metal Gear Solid Rising. They definitely should change it. Maybe they will? It's probably a fear that certain people won't recognize it as the same franchise. It's not "MGS" if it's "MGR". eye-roll. I know it's not a big deal, but I think it's stupid to me to hold onto "Solid", when Kojima himself has made such a big deal about Snake's story being over and done.

And as for console wars - well I don't keep my position hidden on that topic.

Screw the console wars.
Everybody, forget it. Don't give a **** about Microsoft vs Sony vs Nintendo. Play games. For God's sake - Play games.

I get it - we can't AFFORD both, so we have to PICK one, and then we attach a stigma to the one we don't have, because we CAN'T have it.

The reason I don't own both a PS3 and an Xbox360 is because I feel they're practically identical. Most of the games I play are available on both. I miss out on some Xbox exclusives, so I play them at a friend's house. But the reason I don't play it isn't because I have ANY loyalty whatsoever to Sony - it's because I feel like the consoles are the same, and I'm not going to shell out over 300 bucks for the same thing twice. If they each offered something drastically different, I'd sign up. If Natal takes off, if it even begins to deliver on its promise, I'll pick me up some of that. the only reason I have a PS3 is because I failed in flipping it on eBay when I first got it. The bubble burst, if you all recall. I got stuck with a console I didn't particularly want, and out a good deal of cash. I wasn't going to buy either system until some games I really really wanted started coming out. Given time, it may have ended up being Bioshock, it may have ended up being LittleBigPlanet. Who knows.

But the console war should be buried deep, deep underground. It only breeds closed-mindedness. If you really care about videogames, you wouldn't cling to a corporation and attach some personal stigma to "the other guys".

it'll never end, unless there is no console exclusivity anymore.

This will be interesting, maybe for diversity I'll get it for Xbox.... Wii version, if there will be, might suck.

I wouldn't mind if it was on PS3 too, but the fact that it's on 360, and I can't afford a 360 (let alone my parents would never actually allow me to buy one as they don't like videogames as it is) this really does take the mick. Hopefully IGN was wrong and it's multiplatform. I'm sure MS would of shouted this out if it was.2009-06-01 22:13:00

It isn't Raiden. It can't be. The guy almost looks... mechanical. Look at the forhead and all. Maybe it's a clone of Raiden. (Lol at Raiden then being looked at like Big Boss xD xD xD )

there have been seven canon metal gears...

Metal Gear
Metal Gear: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Metal Gear Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid 4

In fact, MGS4's L looks like a seven to show it is the seventh canon title...

Maybe this being the 8th canon title has something to do with it?

The day we would have a unified medium for videogames (prolly coming in a gen or two), the competition would be 100% at the games' level. So people would fight anyways, just games vs games instead of consoles vs consoles.

Alright im weighin in.

That aint raiden. Can't be. Raiden was all frankestiened together and started his "family" at the end of MGS4.

No snake. Ever. Again. He dead yo.

You guys ever play MGS 1 : VR? You do the ninja missions? Thats what im hoping/expecting for.

Console wars : I'm hurt. Very hurt. Ask ham, I traded in my 360, 18 games, 2 guitar hero guitars, and 3 wireless controllers, and all I was able to amass was enough for a 20g ps3 and MGS4. I did it, and it was worth it! This is like a hot knife in my buttery back.

Well it's coming to ps3 and pc as well...but Kojima isn't involved in the game at all, he's doing peace walker (wow that was dumb), so I'm definitely more hyped for the psp mgs!

By the way, I updated the mgs wallpapers I made of the teaser pictures with the names of the games, if you want to see:

Edit: By the way Halfasack, can't Rising take place inbetween MGS2 and 4, but after Raiden's body is already rebuilt? You know, he's "Rising" from near death...I dunno...

Not to nitpick, but do you mean Peace Walker for PSP? Anyways, do we know yet why Raiden's eyes are brown and not blue here?2009-06-05 06:16:00

Yes, Peace Walker for the PSP. And we do not know yet, but if my previous speculation is correct, it may be that his eyes were replaced again after he was "rebuilt" the first time.

If not, it could be that the new team working on Rising doesn't know what it's doing.

Or there could be a real reason.

Snake's story is over but there's plenty of room to go back in time and fill out the gaps. He just died that's all.

Well snakes story isnt really over, Becuase they could just make more clones, like they did with BigBoss to make Liquid,Solidus,and Snake.
But who know's Konami might just bring Snake back but as a clone.

IMO.I think I going to Buy MGS:R 4 the reason that Snake is the whole point of the MGS saga not Raiden.

Although I might buy MGS peace that is going to be Release on PSP ...
Becuase you play as BigBoss again and some Clone's.

But ever since I played MGS on PS3
The PS2 MGS's Look like if im playing a NINTENDO game.

I'm so happy I stopped caring about the console wars. This is what happens people! You'll still be able to play MGSR! Chillax, yo.

Did Raiden always have those holes in hid head?

Well i'm not overly bothered about the console war to be honest but I must admit that I am not too pleased about MGS:R going multiplatform.

So long as the PS3 version isn't held back in anyway due to the 360's restraints on game size etc I will buy the game. Im not too keen on Raiden being the main character however, we just have deal with it and hope that this is a decent game when it's released.

One question though...Why does Raiden have a bandana over his left eye? Hmmmmm you puzzle me so Kojima!

I can't wait for MGSW on the PSP though, i loved Portable Ops and Portable Ops Plus so i can't wait for this especially with its new features like proper sneaking etc.

And why are his eyes brown when they have always been Blue in every other game? And why does he have a scanner mark thing on his head? and what about those 3 dots top right of his forhead!? I still don't think that particular picture is Raiden. Though he will obviously be in the game.
It could easily all be due to another body surgery thing with putting his armour back on... but seriously, that's kinda lame after MGS4's ending. Hopefully they implement it into the story well.

It's all very mysterious isn't it. Trust Kojima and his secrets! One thing to notice is that Raidens visor og his helmet does not seem to be attatched on the picture.

Is there any news when the events of the game will take place? I would presume it will be between MGS2 and 4.

I believe this game is a sequal to MGS4 I'm not expecting much, Unless they make it multi disk on the 360 the ps3 version wont even be on half a blue ray never mind duel layered like MGS4 was.

Raiden is an annoying character and unless they make him play more like Snake (which it is obvious they wont) it just wont feel like an MGS game.

Peacewalker on the other hand i cannot wait for, I was a massive fan of portable ops. infact i am still playing today when i have the time so they can't really go wrong with this one. and with Kojima himself being an intergral part of the making of peacewalker it will be the next true game in the MGS franchise.

If it is a sequel to MGS4 then why show the image of Raiden in his Cyborg Ninja state when he had his body reconstructed after the final battle with Vamp on REX?

Maybe it could be Raiden re-telling his story and us re-living through the events?

Yea i was sure I remember reading this after the announcement. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Since it has been said that the gameplay will be different than that of MGS4 I cannot wait to see the new gameplay mechanic.

I really do hope they fill in the gaps between MGS2 and MGS4 and give us alot of crucial information about Raiden's past. I don't really like the character that much but I do want to know all about him.

I don't think it will be too good though. I forgot he had his body reconstructed so you must be right that it is in the middle.

Gameplay on the other hand will have a massive difference. This game will be the "dirge of cerberus" of the metal gear saga

It should be interesting to see how the gameplay turns out. I hope they can pull it off well. If it turns out terrible it won't be a huge loss to me as it's only Raiden's story.2009-06-23 10:19:00
