Rising Returns At Platinum With A...Revengeance?
Where did Metal Gear Solid: Rising go? A great many gamers have been asking that question for most of 2011.
Well, believe it or not, it has apparently moved and been renamed. A leaked video from the Spike TV Video Game Awards dropped briefly onto YouTube, and then promptly disappeared. Figures.
But most sources got everything they needed from that leak. It seems the game is now in development at Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Vanquish), even though the Kojima Productions label is still on the project. The adventure still features Raiden battling against swarms of futuristic enemies, but the title might now be "Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance." The trailer didn't give an estimated date or platforms, but that's okay for now.
If it really is Platinum cranking on this game, what do you think about a different studio working on a Kojima project? ...the fans probably have some interesting comments.

Also does anyone else thinks that the graphics have taking a slight step back from the 1st trailer.

Anyway...I really wonder what will come out of this...but I must admit...it looks silly...and unfortunately the Kojima styled silly that actually makes me laugh.
But again...it could be fun.

I'll watch the trailer again tomorrow when GameTrailers is running better( it kept stopping)to see if I can spot what you're talking about.

I'll wait for the reviews. The only reason this game might be fun despite the rest of its turnoffs is Platinum is developing it. Their games tend to be mindless but Vanquish was fun.

I don't think so. They are good at what they do but giving a game titled Metal Gear to Plarinum is almost like dragging it through the mud. I don't mean to insult Platinum because I did like Vanquish(didn't care for Bayonetta)but their games are kinda mindless and lack the depth and quality that Kojima Pro and Metal Gear are known for.

For a Platinum Games hack n slash, looks awesome!! If it didn't have the Metal Gear name on it, I'm sure it would be much more popular.
I'm not a big fan of the cheesiness levels being turned up to 11. Revengeance? Really?!?! The screaming guitars and outrageous over-the-top gameplay? Sorry, it might've worked for Bayonetta, but not for a MEtal Gear game.
No wonder Kojima was concerned.

LMAO Man seeing this trailer and reading all the comment from facebook, twitter, and youtube, it's DmC all over again, this is like a serious deja vu.

But also, that wasn't ingame footage, whereas this trailer here seem to be based on that. To judge a game based on pre-redered cinematics is risky business... We remember that Dead Island "family in reverse" trailer and how that turned out to have nothing to do whatsoever with the actual game.
In this trailer here it looks like the main character is just whipping air with his blades. I can't get over how silly it looks... :D

NT get put on DMC, a massive reboot for the franchise.
the creator of DMC leaves and forms PG, and they get put on this which like DMC is a massive change for the series, and it also looks allot like a DMC game.
looks really good however, i wish they could have severing limbs like NG2 had.
i hate it when sword games dont let you hack off limbs, you slice through a persons arm 1000 times and nothing happens.
i wish more games could have the deformation tech soldier of fortune payback had, every time you shot a enemy that limb came flying off in a fountain of blood!
now thats what a sword fighting game should be like!

Raiden.... RAIDEN! His story was over! He deserved his peace after MGS4, Spoiler if you care But in MGS4 They even built his body back up again and he was left happy with Rose and his kid. Here they have ignored that done what I call a resurrection. What I am refering to is 'Alien Resurrection' Where they took a fully concluded story and bust it back open again. I can already tell I am not going to like the story and the redundant new characters.
And Platinum games, okay Bayonetta's gameplay was good for that title, but this is Metal Gear and just from that trailer alone I can see they have blown it out of proportion. I am so SO opposed to this, just as much as Ninja Theory (A company I actually like) working on this 'dMc' title.
THIS IS NOT METAL GEAR!

But since KP is still producing it, I'm positive that Kojima will keep his fingers stuck in this MGR pie, so I'll just wait for more info, vids, & reviews to see whether it becomes either a "I want" for playing, or another used bargain binned "I need" later on, just for my collection.

It seems like an awesome hack & slash, but not was I was hoping for with the whole "precise cutting" etc. that we saw in the tech demo w/ Raiden and the watermelons...

Raiden isn't like that. He's thrown into a shitty situation in MGS2, and is trying to survive and is trying to help Snake in MGS4, and is having an existential crisis at the same time. He had actual motivations in those games, here he looks like he just wants to kill everyone and everything.
This ruins the ending of MGS4 as well when he tells Rose I'm done running and he's going to be there for her and Little Jack.
The original story seemed interesting because it was going after Sunny to get her back from the Patriots pre MGS4. It was the missing link. This just looks ridiculous and lacks any integrity that was left in this character.
I can't believe Hideo is letting this be made this way.

The guy at 1:30 has probably seen better days.
Yep, my Metal Gear nutcase friend will not be happy with this installment. From Tactical Espionage to purely mechafied anime battle slice n' slash Lightning Bolt Action. How else could anyone have enough strength to manhandle a Metal Gear?
Well, people were complaining about the lack of traditional Japanese themed games nowadays, though perhaps not with this title. Ah well. I'll still consider this a purchase.

While Rising was initially supposed to stray away from the norm, the first showing still had Raiden displaying some evidence of stealth and what-have-you....
Now....I'm not so sure :(
I'm not going to lie, I was looking forward to this game quite a bit...but now? Not so much.

The question in my mind is, if KP are not developing this, what are they developing?
I dearly hope that they are making MGS5.
