Metal Gear Solid: Rising Disappears Until E3 2010
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsIt was the shocker of Microsoft's E3 press conference: Metal Gear Solid: Rising is coming to the Xbox 360.
Of course, since then, the announcement has been downplayed due to some new evidence. Firstly, Hideo Kojima has said he has virtually no involvement with the new title (he's only acting as producer), and in truth, the "Metal Gear Solid 5 within him" is the freshly revealed Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP. For the latter, Kojima is indeed a big part of the production; he's directing it and he wrote the script. Now, according to PS3Center citing a Kojima interview in the latest Famitsu publication, Rising may fall out of the limelight for quite some time. Apparently, Kojima said you won't hear anything more of the game until next year's E3 and in the meantime, the team will be focusing on the aforementioned Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid: Arcade and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. This may sting for MGS fans, especially for all those 360 owners who finally had something to brag about (despite the fact that Rising is also coming to the PS3). But it seems Microsoft wanted to get that big announcement into this year's show, just so we have something to talk about for another year.
Of course, we do expect to hear snippets of information concerning Rising; this be the Internet, and it's kinda tough to keep everything under wraps for extended periods of time. And if something does leak out, we'll make sure to bring you the valuable info.

I am much more excited for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. No it's not at all a fanboy thing. It's because after Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, which I finally finished Monday...I can't be more excited. In fact...MGS: Portable Ops was the best MGS I've played...(haven't played 4 yet)...I just loved it. The script was fantastic, the gameplay was addictingly fun, the graphics were great for PSP, the music was wonderful, and the cast of characters just PLAIN GENIUS. (I haven't played Infrastructure yet...and seriously can't wait to - Ad Hoc was fun as hell though)
MGS: Peace Walker is the sequel to Portable Ops (which is the sequel to MGS 3) - GOSH I CAN'T WAIT!!! The beginning of Outer Heaven!!! Big Boss again! CQC!!! TACTICAL ESPIONAGE ACTION!!! ANOTHER EPIC OST!!!! GREAT BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS for PSP!! 4 player CO-OP!! He's bringing everything into it. I just love it. Oh and by the way...MGS: Peace Walker is a game where he will be producing, directing, writing, and designing. AND This is the Metal Gear Solid 5 for HIM AND HIS HEART.
What more do you need? If you want Metal Gear Solid 5...get Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. How can anyone not be interested in the story of Big Boss giving birth to Outer Heaven. After all...it's pretty much the incident which sort of gave birth to the rest of the "Metal Gear"'s isn't it? And with most of the MGS 4 team working on it...you know it has to be EPIC. (I've seen MGS 4 from start to finish even if I haven't played it, so I know the team did a good job)
Anyway I'll stop ranting. I'm just saying that...it's quite silly waiting for the next-gen "MGS 5"...when you can get Metal Gear Solid 5 next year. And if you don't have a PSP...get one. I seriously felt as if Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops is a good enough reason why I spent $250 on the PSP 1000. And hell I'M PROUD OF IT!

i agree with most of that
except for GTA and silent hill
GTA 4 was, at least i think so, WAY better than any previous one in terms of gameplay. although i'm sure if it was ps3 exclusive it would've been better.
but yes, that whole thing with the DLC just pisses me off
and last time i checked silent hill is just as creepy and disturbing as ever so i don't really understand where your coming from....
but all those other games yeah, except i didn't know that dino crisis was on 360 now....
oh well, i never really played that series too much so thats why i don't pay attention to it

Sorry but I strongly disagree with you there, have you played Silent Hill 2 and 3? Silent Hill Homecoming started off really well but it just kinda went downhill from there IMO. The suspense was lost a few hours into the game, and it just doesn't have the same touch that Team Silent gave the previous ones. I felt uncomfortable playing Silent Hill 3. SH:H just got a bit boring for me, it was too pedestrian.

Homecoming (refuse to name it silent hill) is the biggest example of art butchering and total commercialisation of a project. I was sick to the stomach of the INSULT they did to the talented Team Silents masterful pieces of art. Silent Hill 2 remains the most artistic, profound, cleverest piece of storytelling in gaming history and i doubt anything will ever top it.
I cant begin to tell you how wrong Homecoming was.
Silent Hill was not about its scares or gore (even though its the scariest game ever), it was about the art. It is the most beautiful game made. The perfect example of art in a game.
PLEASE DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE WII SILENT HILL....

I could not agree with you more, everything you said in that comment sums up my feelings about Silent Hill.
@Qwarktast1c
LOL true but that's my point, SH:H didn't have enough of what you mentioned above, and instead they put in cheap scares, instead of the disturbing and amazingly suspenseful gameplay that Team Silent are renowned for.
@Jawknee
I think you missed the point on what we're trying to say. We weren't talking about which games had better graphics or looked more realistic...

Each person will sit in their very own pod in the system(to do multi player battles, I'm guessing).
I saw a couple pics of it already, & I'll try to find it again so I can add the link here for everyone to see it too.

that's pretty weak, lol
the best thing they had was MGS:Rising, only later to be revealed as multiplat (sorry xbox fanboys, lol) and a spin-off of sorts. not necessarily canon
project natal was ok. that milo thing was impressive but at the same time it was a little weird and creepy. they'll be responsible if the human race is ever exterminated/ taken over by AI, lmao XD
and i know that FF XIII is gonna be on ps3, so there's no worries

Ok, here ya go,
Here's some details, pics, & screen shots of the Metal Gear Solid: Arcade system
It's actually 4 single player pods tied into each other to make a 4 player co-op system.
And if I remember right, it's only going to come out for Japan later on, but maybe after it's out we can all make a big enough ruckus, that Kojima will bring it out to all the other countries too.
On one of the sites I've linked below, actually shows the PS3 game box & it says "MGS ONLINE"

The video I saw looked really good, and the game play made me want to grab my controller.
I hope it might be a timed exclusive or that it comes out on the PC, but besides that, they showed nothing much.

in that same interview he also said he would prefer not to release this game however Konami pays the bills. Kojima only acting as producer means hes NOT going to write the script as he has in the past, hes NOT going to do the art game direction. hes more or less just over seeing the project. Just like how Akira Toriyama just acted as producer or the over seer of Dragonball GT. Which was terrible compared to Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Im sure the game wont be terrible, but its just hard to see how this can be any better than Guns of the Partiots. Its going to be on a less capable machine which tells me its going to be much shorter, smaller and just a downgrade when it comes to quality. Im sorry, the 360 has some decent games, but when developers take advantage of all that the PS3 has to offer, 360 exclusives cant touch PS3 ones. Multiplatform games have been a bust this generation. Especially for PS3 owners. The multiplat games are always getting gimped so they can run on the 360. I dont see how this will be any different. PS3 owners paid more for a higher quality game machine. Its shameful that we have gotten so many gimped games to please MS owners. Also not everyone is more concerned about sales numbers then quality. Kojima is one of these people. I for example write and produce music. Theres terrible music that sells well and good music that doesnt. Id rather make good music even if it means it doesnt sell. The kind of music that gets on MTV and sells millions is easy to write and produce but its 99.99% crap. Sorry, i prefer quality over quantity. That is something teh gaminging industry has forgotten. Now they Compremize quality to maxamize sales. Its a shame. MS is a prime example with their willingness to knowingly ship junk just so they can get a head start on the market.

The thing is, even if it's not written or directed by Kojima, and Kojima isn't doing the art, he is as producer still involved from the point of view of making sure that the project does at least meet some level of quality expectation. Not only that the project team has the entire MGS body of work to use as inspiration and as a guide when designing their art and building their game world. So although it may not be a Kojima MGS game, it should still undeniably be an MGS game.

Honestly, do you think Kojima would get on stage and say;
"This is the worst day of my life and I wish I was not here. Unfortunately Konami pays my bills and forced me to work on the system created by a company I have no respect for. So without further ado, my team will be bringing MGS to the crapsixt... sorry, the 360."

Slander:the act or offense of saying something false or malicious that damages somebody's reputation.
Everything said about the CrapBox PleaseFixMe is comepletely true. Its a piece of junk. i used to own one and wanted to like it but I gave up on it after getting the RROD of death twice and the E74. I bought the thing in early 2008 too. After MS claimed to have fixed these problems.

The guy is producing the game, how can you say that is no major role? Man oh Man. Just enjoy the game. Seem to bash the XBOX alot on here, how about concentrating on what the PS3 has to offer and stop worrying about what is going on over in Microsoft land. Also I am giving my opinion on the matter, no need to get offended.

Fact of the matter is, Hideo Kojima has stated his dislike of the Xbox console. So either Kojima is two-faced or changes his mind like the direction of the wind... now the latter is very likely..

if Kojima is so excited about this, then why isnt he working on it as hard is he Peace Walker? Why did he say in the Famitsu interview he would prefer not to make this game? Why did he say that Peace Walker is the "Real MGS5 inside of me"? you all are ignoring the facts.
