Some of the detail is sparser because it's trying to maintain 60 fps. Same reason enemy limbs and shit explode rather than stay on the battlefield. The tradeoff is silky smoothness you can't appreciate on 30fps-capped YouTube. In practice I suspect we'll be too busy beasting and hunting for our next high-flying kill to nitpick the color palette or detailings.

We have a new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
I think some people have misunderstood the intentional kitschiness, but wow does it look aesthetically underwhelming. A lot of issues with the UI and environments, and as someone else said, the plasticky Japanese action game character models that are really only repulsive when highlighted in the cutscenes.
It looks like a very sound game, though, so I hope it transcends all those issues to become Platinum's second great game, after Bayonetta.

I remember when Raiden was a normal guy. He was also a much better character back then as well.

Oh God Raiden sounds even worse now. He sounds like the villian in Howard the Duck

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Even though they keep saying this, it's KojiPro, so I'm not holding them to any standard of retaining canon. Not that I think they'd outright say "This never happened", but I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a post-Revengeance game and further convolute/twist whatever batshit crazy stuff happens to Raiden.

Or they could just pretend it never happened like they've done with Portable Ops

It's been like this since MGS4 or hell, Portable Ops really. The secret is embracing the silliness.Not like this.... not like this

Why is it that MGR threads seem to bring out all the people that actually don't understand how silly MGS is? It's Japanese GI Joe. It's not serious. it's not grounded. It never has been.
Embrace it, because that is what makes MG so awesome.

MGS is silly, but there are levels of silliness. Just like how some people use the argument "well RE has always been stupid so why the hate for RE6?" You have a certain playing field of stupidity thus it is very possible to go out of bounds. MGS has always had silly elements and plenty of humor, but for the most part the Kojima games have all felt like they're in the same bubble. With the exception of Peace Walker, which was just... well I don't know what that was. Kojima is good at mixing silliness and some modesty.
Revengeance seems a lot nuttier and all over the place to me by comparison and I don't think that's a ridiculous or hard to believe stance.
The shark was jumped with Mt. Snakemore.

MG2 had a Ninja that worked for NASA, and a mercenary named Dirty Duck who worked for a terrorist organization called Egg Plant. Come on.
So the robot fired the missile and the missile was like
IMMA A MISSLE AND I'M GONNA GET YOU RAIDEN
But then Raiden activated E EQUALS EMCEE SQUARED and was like
BITCH YOU AIN'T A MISSILE

Also the Gray Fox plot is a rip-off of Black Color. Oh and there was a boss fight where you had to shoot a missile to your back to get a scientist off you. And trick a guard into thinking its night by hatching an owl egg. And I can't remember if it was MG or MG2 but you had an olympic skater who was a bodyguard to a world class scientist.

It's all about the execution and tone. Kojima is pretty good at taking ridiculous things and making them work for his context. Revengeance looks like a hog-wild splatterhouse of stupidity.
For the record I haven't played MG2.

MGS is a retellling of MG2, no question.

Raiden driving a car feels so out of place.
Anybody with a body that ridiculous has to be driving the batmobile or nothing at all.

The demo was fucking awesome.

Eh, I think the ridiculous tone fit with raiden in this game, it wouldnt fit snake obviously, look at twinsnakes for example.It's all about the execution and tone.

Deadly Poisonous Zanzibar Hamsters.
In an earlier trailer, he drives a car while wearing the Mariachi Suit and Bladewolf hanging out in the back seat.
I'll be disappointed if it isn't this.

Raiden's voice is so horrible, but that gameplay...
In other words, their priorities are in exactly the right order for an action game developer.
It might have something to do with the genre defining combat. Nobody cares about how stupid the presentation is. Nobody cares about the plot. Bayonetta has totally wacky art design and a barely coherent story, but we can all agree it's one of the top three action games of all time. MGR seems very much in line with PlatinumGames' past efforts: egregious story, so-so graphics, superb gameplay.

Lol RObocop is exactly what I thought of.
Since I can't explain it eloquently, >>>what brandon said.
Kojima sometimes makes fun of his characters in his cutscenes, but never makes fun of his story.
I think people expect him to ninja run everywhere. I dunno.
