Metal Gear Rising’s Title Screen Is Better Than All Those Live Action Trailers Combined

Kotaku AU

Technically a video game title screen is not news, but considering the fact all we’ve seen of Metal Gear Rising in the last couple of months is a set of mostly terrible live action trailers, it’s good to be reminded that a video game actually exists, and it looks quite swish.

New Metal Gear Rising Trailer Is Like An Acid Trip Gone Bad

I just… don’t know what I’m watching. I’ve watched this new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer three times already and I still have no idea what’s going on. It’s like that weird video from Lost. Or pretty much anything from the Metal Gear Solid series.

This Trailer For Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Is Pure Torture—In Live Action

Raiden is beaten, bloodied and in trouble and somewhere, something’s gone nuclear, not in a good way either. We have to wait until April 30 to find out who will, or even can, make it right. The tagline on this live action Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer seems to put that on you, dear viewer.

Stealth Will Return To Next Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Rising is a hack-and-slash game. It’s not a stealth game — no biggie MGS creator Hideo Kojima pointed out. It’s a spin-off game, and stealth will return to the next MGS sequel so wait for that. [@Kojima_Hideo]

Revengeance Is A Stupid Word, But It’s Also An Old One

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It’s a name Square Enix would be proud of, but before you go thinking some Japanese guy made it up by combining “Revenge” and “Vengeance” and nobody had the sense to tell him it was a stupid name, know that it’s a word that’s been used before.

Metal Gear Rising Was Killed Off

For a spell there, Metal Gear: Rising fell off the map. That’s probably because the game had been canned. Now, as evident in the game’s latest trailer, Rising is back in a big way.

Is It Okay For Developers To Tell Lies?

Kotaku AU

So Platinum Games is working on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, a fact members of the team openly denied when rumours of its involvement broke earlier this year. Members of the studio told some porky pies to our very own Stephen Totilo regarding the game — was this the right thing to do? This issue struck a nerve with God of War creator David Jaffe, who lied regarding the existence of the new Twisted Metal to preserve an E3 surprise. Jaffe wrote an interesting blog about the reasons for that lie, and the ethical dilemmas that come with working in an industry that thrives on rumour and speculation.
