Metal Gear Solid: Rising Destined For Xbox 360, PS3, PC

@Squirrelbot3000: I'm hearting you just for that comment. :D

@Chibirazi: Maybe, I mean, I know you're talking out of your ass with generalities, and it isn't like MGS4 wasn't effectively working off of multiple discs with all those disgusting installs. If they have the decency to avoid several hours of drawn out cutscenes and decadent uncompressed audio they might be fine. If GTAIV can fit onto one disc, I don't see why MGS4 can't. The game environments were positively miniscule relative to Liberty City, and had far less occuring at any given time.

robbo_the_hood

@matraque: To be honest, I doubt Microsoft actually pays companies to make their titles non-exclusive. Microsoft has a larger saturation of the market this generation due to the XBox's premier titles (even *if* I, or you don't care for them). As such it makes sense to ship multiplatform to get the most cash possible. Businesses don't actually particularly care about console solidarity.

@Monorail Cat (NO MEANS YES):
I feel like I'm apart of something special because I too do the same thing.

Chrono is kicking ass and chewing bubblegum

@spannu: Well, what do you expect from a port? I really wouldn't expect much different between the PC and conosole versions besides graphics. Don't want to be playing 2 different games now do we?
@Rocky_Winston: That was a pleasant suprise, coming to the PC.

pressstart

@kagekiri: I mentioned this on the original announcement.

It sounds, or has the connotations of a fast-paced game. As it stars Raiden I expect it's a Ninja Gaiden clone, but as it's also on the 360 and the PC I wouldn't completely rule out a FPS.

Ah Kojima, my anti-coffee. Why can't you be there on those restless nights?

I knew that MGS: Rising was not exclusive to the 360 when I read that article that Famitsu released where he was asked questioned and most of everything was Xed out, and also I looked up a search about MGS: Rising being exclusive to the 360 and it was later confirmed that no it wasn't by this article here:
[e3.g4tv.com]

Well this is silly. Who the hell want's to play as Raiden? He was the worst thing about MGS2.

I want a port of MGS4 please. I know it won't happen, but I still want it. This won't be getting my money.

EdwinJ85

Not interested Raiden can't hold the lead of a game as MGS2 showed. First Metal Gear I have no interest in gettting or playing.

@K1NG EV1L: I would much rather pay $600 for two GAMES than pay $300 to get a "console", throw a bunch of fps games into a barrel, randomly choose one, and practically own the whole library of "rich" and "diverse" titles.

Oldschool60

@StocDred: Yeah, I was watching the live coverage on G4, and even they thought this was a 360 exclusive title - which further made me think it was a 360 exclusive because when they asked one of the 360 head-honchos "How awesome is it for you guys to have a Metal Gear exclusively on the 360?", he didn't confirm that it was exclusive - but he didn't deny it either.

It's a fairly familiar trick - I mean, they pulled the same card with the Grand Theft Auto 4 and Assassin's Creed ads when they made sure the ads only had the X360 logo. Still, had me confused for a while, and I can't really blame them for doing it. Why would you announce a game for your competition?

@lenandude:
No producer is going to ship out games with 3+(hell 2 is already a rarity)DVD´s anymore.That worked in the dark ages of gaming(oh how I miss my games coming with 20 floppy disks)but just doesnt with todays market.
Which means dumbing down the game in the end.
Also lets not forget that 360 does not automatically come with a hd so that might play its part too.
Well we will see but that they will have to accept compromises is a fact.

LMAO i knew this would happen funny how afew hrs earlier ms fanboys where saying haha new mgs for 360 woooot sony fanboys are crying.. an i wrote.. its multi platform so we wont be missing anything.. low an behold it was like kojima would ever move his hit franchise to ms only LOL gimme a break!.

@The Swearing Gramps: I wiped the dust off my account just to say that you sir are the winner. Pure lmaonaise.

@cmoyano:

It`s weird because even though PC Games come with these higher resolutions, there are so few people that run them at a higher res than 1680x1050... But anywayz... i think robpe36 was talking about other things when talking about storage, not textures and such. High quality content like cinematics and voiceovers... those can take a lot of space...

@t1e: MG: Rising just sounds too cheesy/video-gamish

t1e

How nice is to see Sony's flagship turn into multiplatform?? First step to the end?

Ariakkan

@SEX_BISON: If you have a PS3 and (apparently) a high end PC then you're covered.
No worries.

@Valnen:
Metal Gear Solid starring Solid Snake
Metal Gear 2: Sons of Liberty starring Raiden
Metal Gear 3: Snake Eater starring Naked Snake
Metal Gear Solid 4: GOTP starring Solid Snake

Metal Gear Solid: Rising starring Raiden wouldn't be right, but maybe they did it for the sound of the title which sounds really well compared to Metal Gear 5: Rising or Metal Gear: Rising.

t1e

@James Darren Black: And after showing live playable demos of all the next games he actually said something like "Hope you liked this exclusive games, now we're moving to Xbox Live".

MGR did not go into the exclusive category. And if MGR was infact exclusive do you honestly think we would be even discussing this? MS would've said-nay, shouted the word "exclusive" 10 times at our faces when in fact ehy never once said it. This is multiplatform.

@azr: One less screen? Though I'd prefer one monitor, one big ass tv, but I don't have that either. I like to watch movies while I write, play RPGs while I do homework, let Final Fantasy Tactics auto battle while I do... anything. You know.

funny how the Shacknews crowd all went apeshit and bashed PS3 thinking this was an XBox360 ONLY title (theyre still doing it as I type).

Instead of rooting for a great game on any console. fanbois make the world go limp.

Can a PSP owner bash 360 cus that unit has 2:1 sales over the 360? Or is it only PS3? Which case its 1:1.03.

Does it matter? finally the M$ batch can play some MGS.

Will give new meaning to RROD.

Zepultura

@artofwar420: OMG I had forgotten about that. Seems like everyone else except you did too.

@Toasticus: I find that very offensive. Microsoft using only money. Haven't you heard? Microsoft also has billions of dollars in RAPE PESOS where one RAPE PESO is equal to ten thousand dollars. RAPE PESOS are a creation of Itagaki.

I really don't care about this spinoff, but it's good seeing it coming to the PS3.

SchumiF1

@Rocky_Winston: "Lighting Bolt Action," buddy...

king rex: vampire hater

@DiRTY-8-SUPER: Xbox 360 DVDs actually hold only 7.5GBs of data due to 1GB being copy protection i-don't-know-whats.

@K1NG EV1L: I hate myself for doing this but what the hell, I'll bite:
Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank Future
Ratchet and Clank Future 2
God of War 3
TRICO
Infamous
Resistance 2
Little Big Planet
MAG
Ninja Gaiden SIGMA 2 (some might consider it exclusive)
Valkyria Chronicles
Gran Turismo 5

from the top of my head. Are you sure ONLY GOW3 and MGS4 are worthy? Shut up. You didnt see me talking trash about the 360 when NG2 or Bioshock went multiplat did you? Stop saying nonesense. At least get your facts right. PS3s havent been $600 since early 2007.

@thegreatpablo: And it certainly wasn't called Metal Gear Naked.

mcderek3000

@spannu: MGS's controls were always a nightmare to get the hang of.

mcderek3000

my prediction for this will see the PS3 and 360 version be different in the role of the main character....maybe ps3 plays as snake/big boss and 360 you play as raiden. That would be the new direction kojima talked about.

I expect some awesome sword fighting for the boss fights

@RyderJ: Metal Gear Rising rolls off the tongue better than Metal Gear Solid Rising, that is for sure. Thank goodness it isn't Metal Gear Raiden Rising. Or Metal Gear Raiden Sunny Rising.

Ungruntled

@RyderJ: The story may have snake in it, even if he's not the main character.

Yes. I rike the fact that I won't have to buy a third current gen console now.

@HELLSRIDER is playing Mother 3: Actually if you would have paid attention John Schappert said "every game, every demo, and every experience was only on xbox 360 from here on out" after the Final Fantasy XIII demo. MGS: Rising was announce well after that point. it was more toward the end of the press conference

James Darren Black

@Brodka: The same way there are lots of PS3 owners who are complaining about the lack of JRPGS and perverted stuff that only shows up in X360.

I don't even care anymore about this PS3 vs 360 stuff. Give me innovation, even if it's a game about Lolis flying naked in mechas that looks like a Metal Gear while having to score points by smashing their face on giant colored blocks made using some kind of holy alien rice from space.

Just don't feed the troll ppl.

@MysteryPersonX: I can excuse the PSP since it's a handheld system.

I can't excuse a console for having non HD graphics.

@ReconToaster.: How can you state as fact: 'Microsoft paid them to be there'? How do you know this? Can you provide a statement from them to that effect or anything else approaching evidential state? I find it sad that a star commenter would come across as a troll in this way. Isn't the star to show you people who don't make posts like this?

shufflemoomin

Man, there are sure are a lot of jerks going off on both sides of this "topic." Wow, it's like we're talking politics or religion.

TriplEEE13

@ReconToaster.: To be fair, they didn't come out and claim it was, did they?

shufflemoomin

@Valnen: On the PSP, for example?

MysteryPersonX

@friendlygummybear: But it DOES suck and there ARE too many cutscenes. - In my opinion.

That series jumped the shark for me about the time I met this Raiden fellow for the first time.

[Then again, I don't like Splinter Cell, Thief, and Tenchu either. I generally don't like stealth games. Don't have the patience.]

You see, it is possible that there is a group of 360 owners (like me) who think MGS is kind of a pretentious bore. And still, at the same time, we can assume there are other xbox owners (in that respect not like me) that have always wished MGS was on the 360.

Brodka

@lenandude: And probably if they end up having a super edition for PS3 and mega edition for 360 the only difference will be more discs for 360.

@Chibirazi: They will probably make the game so they don't have to put it on multiple discs for 360. I mean they might do a super edition for PS3 on one disc then have the mega edition on 360 with 10 discs but I doubt it. This is multiplatform so I they will probably make the game so its pretty much the same on all platforms.

@K1NG EV1L: ONE game? Hmm... 600$ Geez... I never paid that much! Where do you live?

This is a rumor? I thought it was kind of logical after all if I remember well it was right after this game that in the conference they said, now every next game you see is exclusive to xbox 360. Meaning this wasnt.

IGN is going to have egg on their face as they reported earlier today it was a 360 exclusive.

I don't see what the big deal is really. Right now the economy is recovering and the idea is to make money. It only makes sense to go multi platform.

When Kojima bows to MS and creates a substandard MGS cutting corners to fit his game on one dvd and does a crappy port for PS3, then the 360 fans can "facepalm" PS3 fans all day.

But if these companies can't make enough money, we lose something worth arguing over.

@FatalChaos:

So, podcast playthroughs, extra camouflage, and endless extra soundtracks are considered "crap"? You have very high standards, sir or madam.

Squirrelbot3000

Holy crap PC? We've never gotten a MGS game. This'll be interesting.

SwissArmyKnife

@FatalChaos:

PS3's getting the exclusive Joker playable... at least for now.

I just hate one or the other when it comes to DLC. I want all of it!

Squirrelbot3000

@Suzaku:
But boy, they just had to get that "now that MGS is on the 360, our library is complete."

Translation: "We got the only IP that Sony didn't own exclusive to them. SCORE!"

Too bad, you have to share M$.

Squirrelbot3000

@PureistTeamKill: .....

I can even say anything about you. The first part of your name says it all.

@apollon: Yet another reason Pc gaming isn't the best route to take when deciding what games go where.

Stop making PSP games please, nobody cares.

@Dark_Malice: Ruh roh Raggy. Ruh roops are restress.

Squirrelbot3000

@StocDred:

I totally agree with the last part. All the Xbox fanboys claim to think "MGS sucks! Too many cutscenes." However, if you read the comments they all made when they found out it was gonna be an xbox exclusive they were all like "HOLY SHIT YAY!" "TAKE THAT SONY FANBOYS!"

Why would they be so excited for a game they dont even want?

Oh wait...

friendlygummybear

@kagekiri:

I wonder what they'll do to differentiate themselves. Aside from the pseudo-science (well...near-future with nano-machines at least) and anti-war political commentary MGS has always provided, of course.

That's what she said.

...well, she thought it anyways.

Squirrelbot3000

Oooh! Ooh! Can I troll?
Wait, I got it.

Hey Wii! Haw haw! *points*

...okay, I don't like doing this. I kinda like the Wii.
But hey, Smash Brothers Brawl, right? Right?!

*disinterested shrug*

Squirrelbot3000

@StocDred: Just because it's not exclusive doesn't make it a huge coup. MGS is the #1 Playstation brand. If the next Halo was a multiplatform release you wouldn't think it was a win for Sony? Are you fucking high?

GuyThreepwood

In the press release do not say anything about the game be releasing in PS3 or the PC

CaesarCassiopeia

@artofwar420:
Are we done with this tired complaint about the Konami ID?

You pick a name, you pick a profile name, you pick a password on the website. You put it the profile name and password into MGO, check the little box that basically says "REMEMBER THIS FOREVER" and you never, EVER have to think about it again.

Squirrelbot3000

@kNZA: you like, feed it and stuff. and comb it's pretty hair.

Oh wait--I'm thinking of Imagine:Cowzs for the Wii. It'll be at Nintendo's presser tomorrow. Trust me.

It was only a matter of time till he sold out like all the rest. I just lost alot of faith in anything that man does.
Looks like I'm running out of company's to believe in.

Sony, please, the gun has already clicked 5 times, dont make me pull it again during your showing at E3. Only one thing can save you.

(Guns pointed at PS3)

im gonna pirate it on pc to thk kojima

@Ueziel: no fanboy here. i own both systems. i like both. you seem to be the fanboy. Kojima stated he couldnt do MGS4 on 360 purely out of disc space. So my question is. Will this new MGS be 'cut down' so it can fit on 360? It doesnt mean 360 is weaker. so calm down, take a breath and chill. oh and by the way, no it wouldnt fit on 2 xbox discs. MGS4 used the full 50gb, dvd holds 8.54gb, so you would need 6 discs.

I saw the Raiden with "lightning bolt action" and first thing that came to mind Snakes bad dream mini game.

+ Watch video

grandmufti

@K1NG EV1L:

Given what you've said so far, a lot of people here think of your head as a paper weight too. Justifying a preference by mindlessly bashing a system because you don't like it is idiotic. You didn't even know what the price is now and went with the faithful "no games" angle.

Sad day...Kojima needs to stop by the Nintendo press conference and kick someone in the head. Then he'd smile and say, "Did you like it?"

Nintendo: Depriving themselves of nice things.

@EMPEROR_COW:

I know! He needs to chop all that hair off and be bald, the kind of bald that makes you UNDENIABLY straight. /sarcasm

@Michael Tirona: Please read the post properly.

@Fauxe: As the main protaganist from MGS is Liquid Snake O.O

@MiltonZep: Oops! I replied to that message wrong...

@OP

Yes, I admit that it sounds horrible, but take a few
things into account:

1)MS has paid for a bunch of former Ps3 exclusives to go exclusive on their platform.

2) This is MGS. A game to many gamers that is synonomus(sp?) with Sony. MS loves to one up Sony rather than having some first party support. Seemingly so at least.

3) Again, this is MGS! What publisher wouldn't want to announce AT E3 that they have an exclusive MGS game??

Now, I am NOT accusing MS of anything, but taking all these things into account, I can see why others may think they did such a thing.

@Jim Wade:

MG in the PC sounds nice. Will japan be the one to save PC gaming... probably not.

Crowbot

this bullshit is getting out of hand ...
n all this is for robot pretty boy emo fag raiden ...
im pissed

EMPEROR_COW

@Jim Wade: Well seeing Kojima´s perfectionistic attitude in the past and the limitations the 360 brings with itself thinking that microsoft threw around its money once more doesnt seem that far off imo.

@Riktor: You have the opportunity to play MGS4 without buying another console, right?

Why so fucking butthurt for?

@cmoyano: That's some good ol' PC elitism right there folks. C'mon everyone! Laugh at throw stuff at it! Don't feed it though!

@jedbeetle: *They were no longer than nine hours, and I'm sure of that.*

@K1NG EV1L: Well it's obvious that you don't have a Ps3 because...because..

wait for it...

You're a fanboy.

@Mister Jack contains Potassium Benzoate (That's Bad):
If it doesnt come on 10+ DVD´s for 360 and digital mammoth dl for PC then chances are it will be compromised in some way even if its only the sound or vid department.
*shrugs* never cared about raiden anyway and if there isnt a Gray Fox alternative costume I think I will skip this one anyway

PC!!! FINALLY!!

luizzeross

@James Darren Black: exactly! he emphasized it a LOT.

Why is Portable Ops + there when it already exists?

@jamesjohnson01: I thank you for this information sir.

@circulareyestab: You couldn't of said it any better.

umm.... does everyone forget the part about 30 or so minutes into Microsoft's conference where the guy said "from this point on, every single game mentioned here will be an Xbox 360 exclusive">

no?

just me?

the part where he spent about 3 minutes emphasizing how all the following games will be exclusives?

Michael Tirona

@NekuSakuraba:

I hope its not about big boss. i don't want a psp. :D

Hezekiah Hicks

@djHEAT:

Actually MGR is a new series or spinoff. MGS4 was the last of Snake.

Hezekiah Hicks

@Spike-Strife:

Most Likely like the Guy Savage Footage! But note, Raiden did use guns in stuff in MGS2 and had the blade near the end, So maybe he can sneak around with the guns too.

heres guy savage(prototype game) I think MGR will be similiar.

Me neither.

@Mister Jack contains Potassium Benzoate (That's Bad):

Why would it?

kNZA

It makes sense since the Solid Snake story is over for it to go multi-platform. This is an all new book for all gamers to enjoy and truely Kojima-san is going to take us on another amazing rollercoaster. Also I would like to add... we get to be freakin cyber ninja enough said.

This is good news. I almost feel a kinmanship with 360/PC users now... And I like that.

Now I have more to discuss with people!

@Patriot Infinity: Hell yeah! Wow I do this too! I have my custom PC below my desk and my PS3 on top! They share a Dell UltraSharp 2007wfp. The only downside is the monitor is 20" so the max res is 1680x1050, and PS3 does not have an option for that, so the most it will do is 720 which has to be enlarged to fit the screen. If I had a 24" it would be 1080p though. Dammit.

But yeah its just about the most awesome setup. You get the best of console games, and you get the best of PC (which includes a lot of the non-casual Xbox stuff).

Monorail Cat (NO MEANS YES)

@Mister Jack contains Potassium Benzoate (That's Bad): Oh, hopefully not.

That would be a bad thing indeed in my book.

@FatalChaos: Being that it's made for both consoles it's inevitable that we will be treated to Lowest Common Denominator programming, which is the only thing I hate about multiplats. Oh well.

The funny thing will be when it's released and it looks worse than MGS4.

@Holygriever: Unless you turned a blind eye to the Famitsu thing, you know the PS3/PSP Famitsu thing.

I hope they kinda forget about MGO and start fresh. It's not a terrible game, it's just not that well implemented and connected to PSN (at all).

Besides, I hope I'm not alone in thinking that Metal Gear (at least the one that has been in the past 4 games) is not really about the shooting. Even MGS4, as good as the shooting system was, doesn't quite work online, mainly because of the lag.

I guess we'll see what Kojima meant by saying it will be "different" at that Famitsu interview.

@azr:

How is it not?

PC? That's... bizarre.

It's not a bad thing, just bizarre.

Guess Who

@Altima NEO:

Why would kojima write a letter to himself?

Raiden's got some sweet eyeliner going on in that picture!

@Megaman LXIX: twin snakes and now its rising... omigawd

It being on the PC platform is enough for me to get nerdgasm. I have waited oh so long to play the MGS series for the PC. I started playing MGS with the PC and I want it to end with the PC, in my experience anyway.

@Tychonius: How is using the same monitor a good thing? =/

@NYLatenite: They didn't show any game-play footage...so....
yeah, pretty suspect.

@DiRTY-8-SUPER: No more confusing million hour long cutscenes, fine by me.

@ReconToaster.: I think you are dumb for thinking everything has to be paid off in order to happen.

Because there is no way, Konami would want to come on stage and get publicity for their product. they just rather no one know about the game they are making

@PunkyChipsAhoy:

No we're not. Nobody is bashing Metal Gear Rising. They're just saying that Microsoft was wrong to portray it as an exclusive.

ReconToaster.

@Jim Wade: Im not picking sides or anything...but Microsoft does have a reputation....

@ReconToaster.: I think any leading developer who was offered a chance to walk on one of the most-watched stages in gaming to talk about their game and get free publicity would take it without needing a bribe.

@Kai200X: Heh. Losers.

jedbeetle

@K1NG EV1L: why are you here?
Anyways, it seems like a lot of the content on MGS4 went into cutscenes that hurt my brain at 3 in the morning. So I can do without them.

@AliShaikh_Returns: Everyone needs to stop bitching and choosing a side to a faceless company that doesnt give a F**K about you...only how deep your pockets are.

I dont get it...

@KaneRobot:

lol, you think Hideo Kojima just 'showed up' out of the blue, and handed a cassette to some guy behind a curtain? No, Microsoft paid them to be there, just as they pay for any Exclusive DLC, or timed exclusive release. It's nothing against Microsoft, just the truth.

ReconToaster.

@Valnen: Let's also not forget that MGS3 did not feature Solid Snake.

thegreatpablo

@PunkyChipsAhoy: If a game like say MGS4 were to be announced for 360, you can bet money that fanboys will rag on about how the franchise hasn't be relevant in years and how 360 acquiring a title such as it means nothing.

Ben9

@Combine:

Really? You don't think they had to pay much to get a leading PS3 developer on their stage? I think you're dumb.

finally we get raiden on an xbox console. but this time he is a badass.

@SituatedDread: With MGS4 exclusive to the PS3, the same thing happened in reverse: 360 fanboys bitching, PS3 fanboys bragging. Same with Ninja Gaiden II, the other way around.
(Fan)boys will be (fan)boys.

Maybe now people will stop saying "MGS4 port for 360!!!!" A man can dream... sigh...

new_age_soldier

@MaxDragon7: Modern Metal Gear with non HD graphics? LOL.

The game is still multi so two things need to happen.
A)The PS3 Fanboys need to stop bitching
B)The 360 Fanboys need to stop bragging

Seriously, makes you looks like a douche.

@Dark_Malice: lol

@CosmicElement: Dude that would be mind blowing. I keep replaying the Raiden vs Vamp fighting over and over in my head.

@LllusionX:Proud Commander of the Sony Attack Force Helghan!: God of War is a prime example of good implementing. The Force Unleashed is NOT.

@SG79: Aight, I'll take your words for it then.

Well, I'm a big fan of MGS. Also, I'm a big fan of mind-blowing action games (Bayonetta is looking like a Day One for me). Since it'll feature Raiden and such, I guess that is a risk I'd be willing to take. As long as they con't butcher up the story and mythos of the series, they can experiment all the gameplay quirks they want, I guess.

Thank god.
Raiden is badass and I don't have an Xbox.

SEX_BISON

@DiRTY-8-SUPER: Okay, so why would it need to be "cut down" then? Your initial comment is the giant fanboy comment here. "the 360 will pull it down" are your words exactly. Now, exactly what would you mean by that other than saying the 360 is weaker and would thus need the game to not take advantage of whatever you think the PS3 has over the 360 other than disc size, which really isn't any huge advantage at all.

@NEzraF: hell yea! My version is better than your version! Whichever you name :P

no!

Baby_Andgu

@VBerg: How do you know? Kojima told you?

Daniel Pizarro Sánchez

@noliferuin (PSN+XBL): you bring up a good point. Sony and Nintendo have been around long enough to know better though. They buy the studio, or make the games themselves. I wish MS took the sums of money they've shelled out for their timed-exclusives and put it towards something like increasing their first-party studio's. Why buy the milk when you can own the cow.

@BarbeQueQ: anything from Samsung with series SyncMaster 2xx or newer. The feature you need is "HDCP" support.
You don't need audio-via-HDMI !!!! You can setup your PS3 to route audio independently via the analog jacks or optical.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: Don't forget:
4. When console B gets the exclusive franchise of console A, B-fanboys who spent months denigrating said exclusive will now make a 180° and taunt A-fanboys because this suddenly-amazing franchise is no longer exclusively theirs.
Never forget that stupidity works both way. ;)

@Rocky_Winston: The first games had PC versions, though they weren't really any better than the console ones. Maybe they'll at least have good controls this time.

spannu

@LllusionX:Proud Commander of the Sony Attack Force Helghan!: And here I was thinking my hopes where set too high.

@LllusionX:Proud Commander of the Sony Attack Force Helghan!: I agree. As others have said, it sounds like they might be describing something akin to God of War or DMC...I wonder what they'll do to differentiate themselves. Aside from the pseudo-science (well...near-future with nano-machines at least) and anti-war political commentary MGS has always provided, of course.

kagekiri

@BarbeQueQ:

try a BenQ 24-inch G2400W it even has a headphone jack to output your hdmi sound, so you don't have to split your audio between your hdmi cable and your and svids.

diagorus

@theuglyteradon: Well he does have a point. Did you see the MS press conference? They also brought up a big hairy guy to show off Modern Warfare 2. I mean, it's not like we won't be able to play it on every other platform.

They did have the exclusivity on the motion sensing thing though.

Yayyyyy another great mg game for the ps3

As long as Sony keep churning out exclusive gem like infamous, GT, GOW, LBP, Uncharted which is 100% exclusive, and M$ only got Halo123456789101112

tingyu

@kyosen: Basically.

It'd be interesting to see Raiden take a drink with that lower jaw of his.

Metal Gear Solid Rising? It it just me or do the Metal Gear titles just sound dirtier and dirtier.

*rolls eyes* I didn't even mention that the PS3 is more powerful than 360. jeez! fanboy knee jerk reaction...

but John Schappert specifically said after the Final Fantasy XIII demo "This point on everything youll see game, demo and experience will be only on Xbox 360". The Promo for MGS Rising didn't come till the end of the conference.

James Darren Black

Hideo Kojima 2 weeks later : "this is the last one!"

yeah right.

How fanboyish is it to say Microsoft threw money at Kojima for it.

Yes because I am sure Kojima is by no means wanting more people to play his games and to make more money.

Jim Wade

SO you guys thing that this will be more action based(i never played mgs4 i hear u can do all action if u wanted) or more of a stealth ninja type game so instead of sneaking your running around sliceing heads off?

im just wondering i can't figure out what the lightning bold action would mean

But i do like how raidian looks like a metalgear/genric anime body armor, or is that gray fox

Cross platform Kojima game... count me out.
I don't think I want to play an Xbox360 game on my PS3.

Stealth games are fucking boringgggggg

Jim Wade

@Suzaku: I just hope the sword play uses the dual analogue like in MGS2. The end boss fight was amazing, I loved the sword play.

grantanamo

@DiRTY-8-SUPER: The PS3 is not even more powerful than the 360. Nothing would have to be cut down. Kojima just has to not have goddamn raw video/audio data and MGS4 would very easily fit on, at max, two DVD9's.

@Hezekiah Hicks: Well, not as an alternative to Metal Gear, but the Solid part refers to Snake, whose story has ended.

The Comic Book Guy in me is infuriated at this small inaccuracy!

@Sedako: Me three.

@cmoyano: PC-Elitist prick -1. Thats just how I feel

AliShaikh_Returns

@K1NG EV1L: That's EXACTLY how I feel when someone brings up Halo or Gears

AliShaikh_Returns

@K1NG EV1L: people must love talking to you at parties.

@Dayvie: lol, "Multiple Sclerosis 4"....

@Holygriever: You can expect more limbs flying off than in DMC. also, you can expect some cool fights with gekko. I also assume for said fights, you can expect A LOT of QTE. (which IMO, arent that bad of a thing, if implemented well.)

@robpe36: What exclusives? Other than MGS4 and God of War 3, there really isn't anything else. If any one brings up Killzone 2 one more time I think I'm gonna strangle some one.

K1NG EV1L

@SG79: I hope it's a rhythm game- like paraiden the rapper, or stealth stealth revolution...you are now imagining raiden breakdancing to jpop

(you're welcome)

I'm not sure all these PC ports console developers are releasing are the best ideas. I don't want to exclude the PC gamers who don't pirate out there, but releasing primarily single player games like this (and other games that Capcom have announced like RE5), really have the potential to hurt console sales that some pirates would've paid for if they weren't able to just pirate it for free on their PC.

Single player games like this are some of the most highly pirated games, and shows that even those who buy games that they have to (like multiplayer Valve games) will still stoop to pirating for single player games that they're going to play once and then forget about.

So I guess someone at MS messed up when they said "Everything you see past this point is a 360 exclusive" and then showed Metal Gear Solid Risen a bit later?

My guess is someone's head is gonna roll at MS tomorrow.

@Holygriever:

Last year a little before NGII's release and sorry, no links that I can dig up.

@cmoyano: PC-Elitist prick +2

@FatalChaos: I was hoping that Rising was multiplatform and the big boss one was a PS3 exclusive.... :/

@FatalChaos: yeah! Fuck Bioshock, Batman: Arkham asylum, Tales of Vesperia(i think that's the one. I keep getting the JRPGs mixed up), Command and Conquer: Red alert 3, and mirror's edge!!!

@Scoogums: I suppose he can wear a hazmat suit.

@Scoogums: Just tell Raiden that it's, umm...
...cosplay! Yea, that works. ^.^

@Scoogums: I don't know why you're thinking about this, but I'm glad you are, because I just had a good laugh! XD

its not if we liked it
its if we riked it

@patapon: Just like how they 'tried' to make people think that FFXIII was 'exclusive' last E3, right?

@cmoyano: I just see you as an ignorant ass really:/ because he at least knows where the reply button is and more importantly where caps lock key is located!ASS!

Ricardo Freitas

@NEzraF: Or extra online crap like MGS4 has receieved? :o a shocker I KNOW....

I'm a happy camper

Siye

@SG79: I say it's an Assassin's Creed of some sorts. You know, fast paste action with stealth elements. Would definitely add some spice to the MG franchise.

Now the question is if this will be an open world game or level based and how big it actually will be because as we all know MGS4 was HUGE. Have fun swapping your disks, XBots!

BarbeQueQ

@cmoyano: PC-Elitist prick.

robpe36

@MaxDragon7: Oh no! He hasnt seen the propaganda film!

*puts in the tape*

"electro gonorrhea and you."

@StocDred: If that was his intention they he seriously needs to learn how to express his ideas so that he can, you know, avoid sounding like a complete troll.

@Xucuroz:

It's the typical case of fanboy-ness, which is either of these three cases:

1. When console B doesn't have the exclusive of console A, console A fanboy sees it fit to rub this said exclusive all over console B's face mocking him with a constant "Nya Nya Nya Nya we have it you don't"

2. When said exclusive is no longer an exclusive for console A, but has gone multiplatform to many consoles, it is the duty of console A's fanboy to bash this new entry of the exclusive title. Typical remarks include "[this game's protagonist] is not nearly as cool as [last game's protagonist], therefore it doesn't matter we share it!"

3. When console B shells out the cash and gets the exclusive of console A, and the opportunity for mocking can be grasped, console A fanboys are strictly told to state something along the lines of "w/e's that game sucks anyways Woopty doo!" or a more drastic "this is balls to the wall bullshit! all of Console A's fanboys shall now boycott this game."

We are seen a typical 2 scenario.

PunkyChipsAhoy

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: I'm relieved as well.
But isn't this supposed to be different than the usual stealth-action?

I'm looking forward to some Devil May Cry/Bayonetta-esque gameplay.

CosmicElement

@RyderJ: How about 'Metal Gear Luminescence'?...

Yes, I just made that up. ^_^

@SG79: Whathahell!? When did Itagaki said such? PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! :p

@Holygriever: i wouldn't be surprised if you're guess turns out to be true. we all know that Kojima has been itching to try out new things and give the traditional Metal Gear series a rest. this could be a chance to blend the best of both worlds: appease the fans and the money-grubbing suits, as well as quell his artistic desires to expand towards new styles of gameplay. i'm pretty sure that whatever his team makes will be fun and of the utmost quality :)

@RyderJ:

Maybe cause of the 3D.

Hezekiah Hicks

@Holygriever: Having a cyborg ninja as a main character definitely pushes the game in a more action-oriented direction. I just hope they don't overdo it with the swordplay, because as much as I loved Raiden's action cutscenes in MGS4, I'm not too keen on the idea of, like you said, "Raiden May Cry".

Cool I'll actually have someone to talk to about MGS as all my friends have 360s.

Chaotix3

@pmur: I rike it a rot.

This kinda sucks. Now they can't use the full 50GB of Blu-Ray space because they have to port to 360 and PC. Anyone that even truly cares about Metal Gear already has a PS3 anyway

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA EVEN IF THEY CANT USE BLUE RAY FOR PC, IT WILL DEF, ONCE AGAIN BE BETTER IN GRAPHICS! HIGHER RESOLUTIONS, BETTER TXTURES, ACTAULLY, MUCH MUCH BETTER...IGNORANT ASS

cmoyano

@FatalChaos: DLC? for a Metal Gear game? what's it going to include, and extra branch of bizarre, convoluted narrative?

@matraque: Yeah, because it would make perfect sense for MS to announce a PS3 version at an MS/360 event.

Children..

Ben9

@Silentkiller2774: Aside from that...it's a rather stupid name in comparison to tactical espionage action. as a matter of fact, it just sounds retarded.

@everyone: Do you rike it?

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: they won't jump ship completely, they put in million dollars and 3 yrs to make a PS3 specific engine for the MGS4.

feathers4sale

I believe sir's point was that everybody was taking it as read that Rising was a 360 exclusive, therefore big grab by Microsoft. And it is not, sir.

And MGS has been on other platforms before (Xbox and PC), so it's not like this is the sudden multiplatform escape from Sony.

So, yeah, bit of a ballkick for 360 fans. Not that anyone expects 360 folks to wholly buy into MGS anyway. They're usually the ones bawling about Kojima's mad cutscenes and lack of run-n-gun.

@kyosen: The president said so. So it must be.

ZombiePuppy

@Holygriever:

Itagaki once mentioned that he was in talks with Kojima to make a Raiden cameo in NGII so I'll have to agree.

@patapon: i just think it's kind of weird that they're more interested in getting PS3 games to be multiplat instead of brand new exclusives.

I am very excited that this title is actually coming to PC as well. After many months of gaming on my powerhouse PC it is really hard to go to multiplat games on my console.

Janos2615

@noliferuin (PSN+XBL): 600 or 400 what ever the price is now, it's still a paper weight. they stripped out all of the features, like the backwards compatibility and settled for downloading an emulator.

K1NG EV1L

@Patriot Infinity:

Nice, more games console games need to be PC viable. Come on Final Fantasy we are looking at you.

Xaevier

@K1NG EV1L: PS3 hasn't been $600 since like 2007, smart ass. And there are other exclusives on the system.

robpe36

In other news, there is a new Wipeout HD DLC!!

ZOMG!!!

[blog.eu.playstation.com]

My discussion kids. :)

Gezbox says: Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.

Thing was, they presented this game after mentioning that everything else MS had to show at the conference was 360 exclusive, which is why there was some confusion.

Reminds of the 2006 E3 when there was some confusion as to whether GTA4 was 360 exclusive or not.

Mohrdikai

@MaxDragon7: Wii isnt a platform

wwwww

-Kojima

But seriously this better be on Steam

Altima NEO

@K1NG EV1L: Doesn't the PS3 only cost $300?

Suzaku

@LllusionX:Proud Commander of the Sony Attack Force Helghan!: multi plat online gaming would be awesome regardless of what console you would be playing

@Dayvie: Entirely new entry in the series.

@matraque: I can't believe how stupid you are.

@K1NG EV1L: since when do PS3s cost 600 dollars?

and the award for worst website for a awesome franchise goes to MGSR. seriously all that blue-balling and cockteasing for such a shit site.

VP John Schappert from MS should be to blame for all this nonsense. he made the comment about games being shown on the floor were ONLY ON XBOX. his attempt at creating ambiguity succeeded. now we can all breathe easy knowing that we will all enjoy the next MGS, for which im happy.

Kojima's work should be enjoyed by all.

kojima with iphone in hand will sneak up on jack and debut the trailer on sonys stage...(now i get into fanboy hopeworld) then he announces that the ps3 will be getting it first as a timed exclusive and that the two versions are gonna be slightly different with the ps3 version being the better one, somehow, someway in fanboy hopeworld...

Timothy Saskiewicz

@LllusionX:Proud Commander of the Sony Attack Force Helghan!: (also serves as a +10 dexterity modifier)

@Kai200X: Honestly, I thought so too. The lack of exclusives is making my wallet very cautious.

ZombiePuppy

@grantanamo: If it's going to be about ninja Raiden, it really deserves a new engine, or at least drastically revamped engine. In MGO he's basically just like he was at the end of MGS2, which doesn't do a good job of capturing the abilities he used in cutscenes.

Suzaku

mmmm. so the PS3 version will be cut down to allow the game to be on 360? Hideo said MGS4 would be like 6 discs if on 360. happy there is a new MGS, but worried the 360 will pull it down. thoughts??

@matraque: Wonder how much money M$ spent to have him on stage to announce a multiplatformer... OWNED!

Kojima makes a surprise appearance during Microsoft's presser to announce MGS is coming to the 360. To you, that means Microsoft was "owned."

Fucking idiot. Really. Go play in traffic.

KaneRobot

@Scoogums: Judging by all the white stuff he was spilling the other day, you won't be the first. :(

@Toasticus: Ofcourse, Sony was always the Paladin with a + 43 charisma amulet that made him irresistable to both sexes, and able to do anything by just letting it happen.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: "I am glad Metal Gear Solid: Rising is going multi platform. The game will be brought to everyone so no-one will miss out...

..except for Nintendo."

-Kojima

@Mister Jack contains Potassium Benzoate (That's Bad): It doesn't.

VBerg

@matraque: Owned? They probably paid him as much as Sony is paying him for his appearance tomorrow. So i guess Sony is owned too!

@MaxDragon7: You raise a good point, actually. If he's a cyborg ninja or whatever, maybe his 'choo-choo train' isn't... organic. According to my made up sources, non-organic 'lightning rods' have less chance of carrying STDs.

But I suppose with Raiden you'd need a little more protection, like a nuclear bunker, since he might accidentally fuck you into the ground and smush you into goo.

Holy shit why am I even thinking about this.

Scoogums

@robpe36: Oh really? maybe some of us don't want to pay 600 dollars for just ONE game.

K1NG EV1L

@matraque: Very little?
Wonder how much time you spent thinking up of your comment to troll people?

@Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.: With swords? No way. Unless it plays like Infamous with the lightning bolts, i highly doubt it.

So many 180 owners were talking trash in the jtv chat room about how PS3 is doom for losing MGS. HA!

@Suzaku:

It was pretty obvious what they were trying to do. They even had a cameo from Kojima for god sakes.

So, yeah... MS was trying to make it appear like Xbox was the place for MGS. No surprise really. Every timed exclusive they purchase (including maps, DLC and whole games) just adds to this.

@[twitter.com]: face paml lmao

Hoytzilla

@Toasticus: You know, i was thinking the same thing.

Whats more funny is he said "owned", as if Microsoft somehow just lost something. MGS has just gone multiplatform and this is the best thing fanboys can retort.

Whatever, we should ignore retarded comments like that.

So that's a chick right?

@Toasticus: :)

@Tychonius: What monitor are you using? I was thinking of buying one which I could use for both, PC and PS3. Tell me, please! :(

BarbeQueQ

This kinda sucks. Now they can't use the full 50GB of Blu-Ray space because they have to port to 360 and PC. Anyone that even truly cares about Metal Gear already has a PS3 anyway.

robpe36

@Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.: Here here.

@Tychonius: You as well?

@crabperson: To be fair, they did release MGS 1&2 on PC. Interesting how they stopped when Microsoft became direct competition.

@Nslick: As long as the console manufacturers have trained assassins ordered to neutralize everyone who doesn't display complete, undying loyalty to one brand.

At least, I hope that's the case. If it's not, then people are just fucking pathetic.

QualityJeverage

@FatalChaos: I say Big Boss is either PSP/PS3 exclusive.

@NEzraF: Wrong... there's still DLC that could be exclusive which Microsoft is very good at securing for their users. I wish Sony was as aggressive when it comes to DLC as Microsoft is.

So when either company gets what ever the fights will continue, sadly the "war" wont end until there's only one console available and even then there's no guarantee of anything.

MS handled this like Dbags, its on the 360! ...and every other modern platform. anyway back to this whole MGS starring Raiden. Yay or Nay? I'm voting Nay because its "lightning bolt action" instead of "tactical espionage action" IMO a MGS without snake sneaking around choking out dumb guards is no MGS.

otis123

@Scoogums: Great news indeed...
...
...
..just wear some protection.

That's all I'm gonna say. X.X

@SG79: My guess is MS4 add-on for PS3, standalone xbox live title for 360.

Yay for PC!

Told you all.
G4 even did :P

Cool, more people can play it then. I'll probably buy this one on the Box though (Maybe the PC depending if it can be modded :P). Won't be getting a PS3 till sometime in 2010.

@SG79: You know, the lack of "Tactical Espionage Action" in the title kind of strikles me as this being more like a "Raiden May Cry" type of game... with a little of Stealth to spice things up a bit.

Anyone agrees?

@Silentkiller2774: Oh come on, really? I thought we were better than that.

Although that is funny....

crabperson

I just wonder why it's Metal Gear SOLID. I thought 4 would be the last of MGS, unless it became Metal Gear Sunny.

RyderJ

@Silentkiller2774:

Thats what she said last night.

im sorry....im disgusted with myself right now.

Dizzm

@Patriot Infinity:

I agree and that is exactly what i have right now, gaming PC and a PS3 next to each other using the same monitor.. HUZZAAH!!!

Tychonius

@KommanderKeith: Mine is better though.

@Noparanoiarh:

Who said i had a 360?

I'm confused.....

Gezbox says: Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.

@Toasticus: I'm hearting you just because you threw in a *sigh* at the end.
Not just any *sigh* mind you, a fucking sigh.

crabperson

@patapon: They never did, and shortly after in an interview stressed that they were very careful to never say it was exclusive. It's listed as multi-plat in their own press release.

On a side note, boy, news on the internet sure travles fast. Whew.

Suzaku

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.:

What is the point in raging? Just play it on your 360?

Noparanoiarh

The lack of pizzazz disheartened me.

Told you.

@Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.: I doubt MGO will be included. I honestly see this being a completely different game, a la GOW.

grantanamo

@Bialia: Yea, I would be pissed too. The first chance to play as the kick-ass Raiden?
There's no way they would make that exclusive.

A side note: PC too? Daaammmnn....

crabperson

Cross platform play would be great, but it's a pipe dream. However, the big question is: What kind of game is this?

@patapon:

They never did with this one, at all.

How long will people bicker over consoles because their mother bought them a different one?

Nslick

@matraque: lol ur funny, wonder how much ur mom drank while pregnant... OWNED!

$ony probably paid them to do it so M$ would look like they paid for it and therefore look bad......

... See its not hard to make posts as dumb as yours

I'm almost positive this will be a ground-up multiplat engine. Which would be a shame because the PS3 engine is marvelous. But I will never doubt Kojima, he is my video game hero, in good times and bad.

grantanamo

I was hoping that Rising would be a 360 exclusive and the PS3 would get a big boss version but I am grateful it's multiplatform.

I hope they use the full blu-ray disc and don't hold back because of the xbox's limit.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: also, I really wanted it to be Gray Fox....

Bialia

Now we can all get along!

@matraque: Because the only way MS ever accomplishes anything ever is by throwing money at people, whereas Sony just bats their eyelashes and asks politely.

Fucking sigh.

I think the question should be, how long will Microsoft parade multi-plate games as exclusives?

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Me too, but there's no way Konami'd do it.

Bialia

@matraque: *facepalm

Awesome. I always loved Raiden, he can ride my lightning any day if you know what I mean.

...
...
...

I want to have sexual intercourse with him.

But seriously, great news that this is multiplatform. I totally didn't have any split-second fanboy rage at all.

Scoogums

I knew it. C'mon, you knew it too.

Well there you go. I hope that the game being on the 360 as well doesn't mean the pS3 version has to be compromised in any way, though.

Lightning strikes...three times? Didn't expect a PC version! At least most everyone can play this game and stop bitching now.

Rocky_Winston

Ok good news

Steve

PC + PS3 = Awesome

Patriot Infinity

No good sir I did not really rike it. That trailer you showed us was pretty rame.

Dark_Malice

Heh, Lightning bolt action.

LOL, that is funny. Wonder how much money M$ spent to have him on stage to announce a multiplatformer... OWNED!

surely you mean if we riked it

pmur

Well thats a relief. If they had completely jumped ship for this title I would've raged.

And rightfully so.

So i wonder if this will include Metal Gear Online. I also wonder if Konami will fix it. I also wonder if Metal Gear Online with be cross platform play due to the Konami ID. So many questions....

Gezbox says: Exclusives Make a Console, not Multiplats.

@James Darren Black:

Peacewalker will be,but it will be coming out before MGS:Rising........there was an interview with an MS exec who said it was not exclusive....

TimDJ84

i think Sony's press conference pretty much gave away that MGS: Rising would be exclusive. with the Kazuo Hirai emphasizing "peace walker will be the next installment of the metal gears series" and them having Kojima on stage and not saying anything about. yeah Gamepress was wrong

James Darren Black

@Snacky_Smores: I think duct tape is involved in some way as well.

Kamakazie

@BarbeQueQ: Have fun waiting for your game to install.

Seriously, getting up to change disks is quicker than waiting for MGS4 to install.

i was kinda worried, since at some point they said "everything from now on is exclusive" ... but before kojima arrives there was some kind of a break in the game line up, so it's a bit confusing
