Inaba- "I am confident to say we are one of the best studios in the world."
I spotted parries and wall running. I also spotted a lack of lock on, but hopefully that will be in there, or they iron it out so it is not needed.

The Inaba quote was referring to the action genre which, in my opinion, they are the best studio in the world at developing.
Regarding more technical things like parries and wall-running, I think it's safe to say that P* will bring out the toolbox, with many things familiar in Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, along with Vanquish when not including hack-and-slash.
I wonder if Dodge Offset will return! :O
No way. He's Zenimax's bitch now. Hiroki Kato could be working on it though.
Mikami is no longer at Platinum.

Who's Kato? Im not familiar with him.

"Hiroki Kato was a system planner for the original Resident Evil.[1] Kato also worked under the "Scenario and Planning" department for Resident Evil Gaiden.[2] He was also the director for Resident Evil Code: Veronica.[3] "
From the Google.
Kato is the director of Code Veronica. He's also the lead game designer/writer on God Hand and Vanquish, both of which Mikami directed. He's not exactly a Platinum employee though.
I didn't know Mikami left. That's disappointing. Hm... I guess it could be Kato but I feel like he doesn't really focus on fast-paced action that Rising has shown to be. Granted I don't know much about what Kato has worked on in the past other than RE.
EDIT: Oh, he worked on Vanquish on Godhand. That could work.

If he is directing/involved somehow I'd say we have nothing to worry about.
The only problem is that he's not a regular employee at Platinum. He runs an online web seminar training business. He works on games on a freelance/contract basis, and is on very good terms with the Platinum/Tango guys because they were all from Capcom.
Oh and interesting note about Kato I found out the other day: Why back when Capcom announced their 5 Gamecube exclusives, Kato was the director of Dead Phoenix.

Oh I agree, I like the confidence in his quote and thought it was worth posting!
That blade attack doesn't look like it would have reached RINO if he didn't move.
I think it's meant to be some samurai homage bullshit where two parties stand apart, and then run at each other and attack at the same time. Except in this case one is a cyborg superman, and the other is a giant robot.

Am I the only one that hates the new art direction? It looks like Vanquish. The original vision was much slicker.

RINO? Really?
The blade is transforming out from that arm, so it might be much longer than what we're seeing here.

Vanuish looks awesome so no. But orginal Rising obviously had the MGS4 visual look, which is pretty great.
RINO? Is that the new name for that model of Ray?

Fuck, a game about the Boss. Shit.

So what do we know plot-wise so far?
Yes, really. Spin-off or not I can't imagine Raiden as some cowboy.
Sort of offtopic. But has it ever been explained what the gears run on? I imagine something like rocket fuel back in peace walker times. But was a new energy source discovered to power these things? Besides nanomachines.

Oh, I thought you meant Ray in name only. XD I have to wonder if this really is Raiden.
It's got PMC's, takes place after MGS4, and Raiden is seeking revengeance for...something.

It's the way the action plays out too. Just doesn't look like MGS anymore. :/ Welp, I'm sure it will end up a better game because of Platinum's involvement.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
The technology designs definitely aren't as slick or interesting as previous stuff in the MG universe.
Also, the heavy use of bright orange glow effects looks super cheesy, but I get the impression that's their intent lol
I don't see MGS in the title. Do you?
So the game is running on Platinum own engine. Is it the same engine that ran Vanquish?
Because that game looked great on the PS3, contrary to Bayonetta (which was a port handled by Sega).
That making of video showed some brief scenes of the developers working, and they were always holding 360 controllers.
I don't mind the 360 being the lead platform, I just hope the PS3 won't get a shitty port like Bayo, or even worse...Skyrim...

Totally agree. Vanquish suits Vanquish, obviously, but I believe that the look/feel they initially had suited much better. I guess it is basically turning into Vanquish 2, though, so it'll be cohesive enough; I just prefer its initial iteration.
While all the flashy combos, wall running and Vanquish-esque stuff has me worried about the direction the game is going in, I'll be happy as long as the mechanic to cut watermelons and other objects with the precision seen in the very first trailer remains in the final game (being able to choose the angle of the slice, etc.).

Well, it's running on a completely different engine. It's a trade-off. I prefer the original look, but if this engine and visual pipeline lets Platinum do what they do best quickly and efficiently, it's a small price to pay, as far as I'm concerned.
He and Kojima are perfect for each other.

I never get tired of watching that gif. My eyes widened like crazy when that sequence popped up in the video.
When they previously mentioned that there would be "free-running" gameplay mechanics, I didn't think you'd be able to traverse the environment so dynamically. I'm pleasantly surprised.

looks fucking amazing. i not only respect komanis frankness in this video (capcom, please take some notes) but their desire to present it such a slick way.. absolutely loved the timing direction and shot selection of the interviews themselves, they put many a professional documentary filmmaker to shame.
as for the in game footage, don't ever bet against p*. it is only going to get better.
as for director, i think kamiya has a hand in it, but i think he is also working on something else, that hasn't been greenlit for full development yet. he will be handing over the reigns soon as it is and thats why they are keeping mum.

The reason that so many people are curious about it is because it's one of the few things that hasn't been explained so it sticks out.
You are right in that KojiPro has done a horrible job at tying loose ends together so far. I'm still curious to see where they would have went with it.
