Yeesh, are they really calling it "Epic Mickey"? I thought that was just a working title.

Yeah, but they chose to stick with it.

 

[Canova]

MG Rising shoulda been named Metal Gear Raiden all along

 

[Skilletor]

RISING ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

RIIIIIIIIIISING ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

THE SAMURAI GUNMAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

I worked at a game crazy and had this on during each shift for a month. Oh how I laugh.

THEN ONE DAY JOHNNY MEET HIS MATCH!

It seems rather boastful to put 'Epic' in a game title.

 

[linsivvi]

Actually, come to think of it, every developer needs to release a game with "Edge" in it's title.

 

[Saty]

How about games with 'Dead' in their title? Now, that's a mouthful.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

The Last Epic Rising War of Zombie Danger 2

Fixed.

 

[CrankyJay]

Pokemon Rising.

 

[G-Fex]

At least its not as bad as making numbers into letters. You have no idea how much I hate F3ar Driv3r, 5ive. They're numbers! If you want a short title stop making sequels or just come out with a catchy title.

[vatstep]

Dead Rising doesn't count, at all. "Rising" is directly part of the game's title (plus, it came out years ago). The word is essentially a subtitle in the other games mentioned, so I can see what people are getting at, although pushing it a bit.

 

[John Rabbit]

RISING ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

RIIIIIIIIIISING ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

it took way too long for this to show up.

 

[Road]

Tim Langdell regrets not having trademarked "Rising".

 

[Baki]

Dead Rising did it first. It's also the best out of the bunch.

MGS Rising isn't even out yet. Plus being a Metal Gear makes it the best out of the bunch by default. :lol

 

[Baha]

Pfft, you think that's bad? Look at all these games with Tom Clancy in the title:

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt
Tom Clancy's HAWX
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Tom Clancy's EndWar

Not to mention all the sequels to these titles, geez!

Once again, Segata wins the thread.

Did someone say Raizing?

 

[Ranger X]

It think this is part of the really annoying mode of having one word (supposedly cool word) serving as a subtitle or even just the name of the game.
THIS is the new annoying thing ala mode.

Dirt

Shift

Just to name a few.
And then you get the "one word subtitles" like in the OP.

It's pretty annoying and doesn't make my videogames sound more cool actually.

[ILikeFeet]

Call of Calling: The Callening

shit, now all these words look funny :lol

 

[StuBurns]

My pet peeve is DS games with subtitles that have the initials DS. There are some GB ones too, like Ghost Babel, but I think that was less common.

I've covered "Rising", ya know.

 

[Starchasing]

just wait for 3D its going to be 64 all over

yeah because unlike the wii they can not trademark it so every game will be whatever 3d

 

[Sai-kun]

i agree, i am so sickened that VIDEOGAMES, BOOKS AND MOVIES SHARE WORDS IN THEIR TITLE. i am so angry that FOUR GAMES share the same word, and i fear that 2011 every game will have RISING in the title. i am so angry i can't type staivght.

now, these fucking dumb ass companies should hire me so i can give them unique names
dead rising: zombies attack because of fat americans
metal gear solid: rising: ninja attacks robots: the video game
kid icarus uprising: the flying boy
hard corps uprising: the contra effect

as you can see, i have gotten rid of the word 'rising' and replaced the games with unique titles.

so fucking true. preach it, brother.

[robotzombie]

I can't believe an entire topic was created because two games have the word Rising in it and two games have the word Uprising in it.


Really? That's all you got?

[Sutanreyu]

Metal Gear Solid Rising should be called EXO: Rising. And get rid of that Lighting Bolt Action shit, replace it with High-Frequency Blade Action.

Fuck yeah, rise of the shitty rising titles.

HIGH-FREQUENCY CYBORG ACTION
