Lol it's actually pretty perfect for me. Will be finished with exams week for the foreseeable future.
I'm actually getting ahead on alot of projects just so I don't have much to do besides showing up for class for the next week or two.
It's probably going to encompass his first encounter with Desperado
Which will include the ambush while guarding that one African Prime Minister conclude with his assassination and Raiden's defeat in failure to recover him
It's looking to be a fairly lengthy prologue chapter. Probably the Ray and unwinnable Sam encounter and whatever they decide to fill the gap between the two with.

...Shit. I've S-Ranked a few of the Rockman Zero games in my day, but this looks to be an entirely different beast! :lol
Ah well. Can't wait til my JP LE comes in so I can tear into this game.

I hope someone uploads their playthrough, because I'd love to watch somebody skilled enough tear through the game flawlessly.

Subbed. Thanks. ^.^
I'd like to think one day I'll accomplish that goal, but I doubt it. The highest I ever got on any section of the demo was a B(not counting where you get an S for saving the civilian).
I really need a gif of the dude from family guy saying "There's no way..." since that was my first thought after seeing that was an achievement.

Can we finally stop the bullshit that this isn't a PG game through and through? Enough about KojiPro having handled the cutscenes and PG only the gameplay.

That... kind of makes me think that the Kojima Productions team working on Rising probably don't like him very much, but I guess it is their fault that it shifted to Platinum.
Anyways, has anyone who has seen all of the trailers (I've been on a bit of a blackout) heard this piece of music anywhere in them? It's Raiden's theme in PlayStation All Stars that plays during the intro and outro in Arcade mode (as well as when you activate his level 3 super):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjowmP7J-IA
It may have simply been made for PlayStation All Stars, but it is so good.
Got the "party pack" through, 10 logo t shirts, 1 Raiden silhouette T shirt, 6 3D posters, a ton of wristbands, a ton of Metal Gear Rising balloons(!), and to top it all, some really snazzy Kojima Productions pin badges, and one of those cool "Cut at Will" promo sheets... (Along with a "terms and conditions of you receiving this pack" thing)
After playing the demo several times I know that I'll never get this one. I'll never get this.
I guess this'll be the equivalent of Vanquish's "Complete all Challenges" trophy. Probably even harder but we'll see.
It's some sort of pseudo-approximation of the MGS2 theme. I doubt it's from MGR.
i just listened to that song and god DAMMIT
this is pretty obviously supposed to sound like the mgs theme that fucking kojima won't let anyone use anymore
SolidSnakex

That issue seems to be a lot more complicated than that. With that said, the MGS theme is basically dead at this point.
Sir Ilpalazzo

since kojima still has yet to really directly address it, i've always been under the impression kojima was ashamed that the song was plagiarized under his nose without knowing. so when he found out, he just stopped using it even though he could probaby just license the original or work out some sort of agreement with whoever owns the rights it

Got my preorder finally ready. The novelty of chopping things up in the demo never gets old, I just love that sort of thing.

I know we all speculated this but its nice to see it confirmed. Rising is a low-budget title made to an extremely tight deadline that probably still will compete with the best in the genre. This game while amazing, still isn't the best platinum can do.
Its actually aslo a bit funny to find out that Director Saito is that guy how looked like he had his hair cut by Raiden in the original kojima video. Fitting somehow.

Hibino has said that Konami is the one that doesn't want it to be used anymore. I do wish that they'd work out whatever issues there are, but it seems unlikely. I think that they would've done what was needed to get it back for MGS4 if they were planning on ever using it again.
Ok, now they have no excuse for not getting rid of annoying shit like the long ass slow motion to indicate that you have a zandatsu opening.
Everyone playing it will know already how it works.

I thought that was evident from the beginning. I think I've been saying it for the longest.
They were useless fools that couldn't make good when left to their own devices. I would have fired them. So who cares about their feels.

I don't know who said that. The cutscenes were always obviously cut from the same cloth as the cinematics for Vanquish and Anarchy.
All I've ever said on the matter is that the people on the KojiPro side are still in charge of the script and the story, which still seems to be the case.
I don't see how abandoning boss concepts and scrapping completed levels is proof otherwise
That has nothing to do with the writers and artists. They seemed to have fulfilled their role and had their work scrapped.
Even so, I think I prefer what we got over what we lost if the rumors are to be believed. (Volgin involved in the scenario. Bosses being something like stealth puzzles. zzzzzz)

100BP for each limb. Head gives you nothing. The easiest and quickest way to get the BP points is to zandatsu someone after a parry. Slo-mo will be even slower, making the process easier. First you cut off the legs, slightly above the knee. After that the solider contorts in a way that makes it really easy to cut off his left arm, slightly below the shoulder, around a white emblem on their jacket. Getting the right arm too is almost impossible so forget about it. Unfortunately I haven't found a sure-fire way to get BP points without waiting for a solider to attack you.
Right right, I'm mistakenly using zandatsu for entire blade mode process.
Head gives you 100 BP points, maybe not in the demo, but I'm sure I saw footage that shows how it gives you BP.

So the script was scrapped, but this game is 100% cannon. Platinum didn't rewrite the script did they? KojiPro wrote a new one right?
Gouda Jouji

Yes. The writer of the original script rewrote it for Platinum.

Etsu Tamari is the lead writer on both iterations of the project
He's also credited as a writer on MGS4 and Peace Walker, although I'm not sure to what capacity he was involved in the scripts of those games
In the end, the fact that it was made on a cheaper budget is likely to its credit. And as long as Konami's expectations are reasonable, that's all the more reason to hope that Saito and P* may yet get another shot to really showcase what they can go do, someday.

I played the demo and loved it!
I would like to get the game but I've never played a MGS game before (and would like to play MGS 3 sometime...) is this game for me?

After seeing a gif from it posted in this thread I decided to rewatch the reveal trailer from two years ago.
Kinda cool to watch something we were shown knowing nothing about it now, knowing just about everything about it.
Also neat to see just how early and rough what we were shown at the VGAs really was. I wonder if the scenario had even been finalized at that time.(Black Raiden present in sections we know MGS4 Raiden plays through, such as meeting Sam for the first time and fighting him on the train)

The story was tailor made to fit Platinum's game design philosophy but the story is still cannon and written by Kojima Productions

There's mad sparks flying off of the blade when Raiden's holding it back before he launches it. I still don't get why but it sure looks cool.
