Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Running into Communication Trouble Already
Lots to clear up for Rising.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (trailered) below has run into communication problems already, and it was only confirmed at the weekend!
Main MGS man, Hideo Kojima has been "on the Twitters" to point out a few things, as translated by Andriasang.
Here are the basics:
1) Hideki Kamiya is not the game's director. The director will be announced later.
2) "The title was changed because the game is different from the Metal Gear Solid series. It's a new Metal Gear."
3) Platinum games suggested the concept of, 'a game where it feels so good to chop things up that you would die.' According to the translator, 'It's so good that you die' is just a Japanese way of saying it's amazingly good.
4) But then again, "...the period setting is several years after MGS4. Metal Gear Rising is not part of the Metal Gear Solid series. At present, we can't say more than this," and that's from Kojima.

Yup. Proper tacky. Christ and I had high hopes. Well Raiden now has his catch-phrases, and the characters are obviously liberally mutated, and the in game action looks convoluted and hack-and-slash(y); which is the one thing I thought the game would well avoid - but then, the main man isn't on board obviously: jesus, when you see the cut-scenes here it's remarkable the difference between Hideo and most other directors styles. Sure they're long-winded but they have a touch of class; and are unmistakeably Metal Gear. These are not -- hence the quick disassociation with the product on Hideo's part.... Bah!
