I'm the only one who felt they went for a B rate action movie from the 80's feel but failed terribly?

MGS fanboys tears are delicious
muhuhuhua. Go Platinum, do your best, show us some revengeance.

Seriously.. I love it! Then again, after MGS 4, fans should be used to getting trolled.

Game Informer have it to.

The arm has a USB drive attached to it, with these on it:

Well hopefully Raiden gets his arm replaced with Ocelot's severed one from MGS1, then this game would be the perfect amount of crazy.

Ugh at PG making a big deal about one of their storylines again. Just forget it man.

You mean KojiPro.

MGR is PG game through and through, they changed the story of the original project as they saw fit.

They are kinda between a rock and a hard place with the MGS fans. If they don't emphasize the story enough, the game will be discredited as "not MGS enough." If they overdo it, it will be regarded as "too cheesy."

 

[DrBo42]

Ahahahahaha. That's fucking awful. Who did they hire to make that?

Seems like we're gonna be getting flashbacks into Raiden's past when he fought as a child soldier under Solidus during the Liberian Civil War. HYPE

Those photos look like someone borrowed the iStockPhoto directory from Bioware.

Which confuses me.

Did KojiPro not even have a storyline thought of during the tech demo/watermelon cutting phase of the game's development?

Wouldn't a collaboration between the storytelling of the previous MGS games with the good gameplay Platinum provides be more ideal?

Well, PG and KojiPro are basically codeveloping the game now to my understanding. Obviously the gameplay component is being handled more directly by PG and KojiPro ideally should be overseeing the majority of the story elements.

What on earth was that noise at the end?

sound like something from MGS2

The original Rising's storyline was completely finished. But when Platinum came on board they wanted more freedom instead of having to make a game book ended by MGS2 and 4, so they had the writer from Kojima Productions (Etsu Tamari) write a new one. By setting it years after 4, a time completely unexplored, Platinum can do whatever crazy shit they want.

Looks like the MGS4 intro videos (which are great, IMO). Rising cant come soon enough.

Maybe in spirit? That's nothing close to the quality Logan put out on MGS4.

 

[SLEEPS7ALK3R]

So, aren't we supposed to see footage of this game today?

No game footage, more live action videos though. We may not see any new in-game stuff until E3.

Yup and KojiPro is still handling all the story and cutscene bits iirc.
