I'm incredibly happy Platinum is doing it. Extremely excited for this game.

I really <3 Platinum. So this still remains pretty awesome in my book.

I'm buying this game because the documentary made it feel like the Japanese gaming industry's last hope.

Let's hope that Platinum use the Kojima Production budget to its fullest and produce a 30 minute dance sequence at the end of Rising.

dammit i want that game about the Boss in WWII...MAKE IT!!!

This totally looks like Devil May Raiden, and I'm so okay with that fact. Shit. looks. nuts.

I think it looks pretty cool. The MGS fanboy in me was pouting during the VGA's about it not being a KojiPro game anymore, but that clearly wasn't working out.

Props to Kojima for doing something so bold. A situation like this would usually result in the project getting canned permanently or being rushed out to die. Really enjoyed Bayonetta and Vanquish, so I'm excited.

That is interesting that they didn't mention a director at all. Watch it be Kamiya undercover, working on this and Bayonetta 2. They'll keep it a mystery to help build hype.

(it's probably not Kamiya, but that'd be sweet)

Hideo Kojima has apparently been friends with Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba for about 10 years or so. For all of you video game otakus out there, catch this bit of information: A long time ago, Kojima asked both of them how much money they were making, and when he found out, he said, “That’s not enough. Come work for me”. Kojima originally, specifically asked for Hideki Kamiya to work on Metal Gear Rising, but Inaba said that Kamiya will repeatedly delay the project. So, Inaba was allowed to start the project.

Interesting, looks like it's going to piss off a lot of Metal Gear fans.

REVENGEANCE. ALL THE THINGS.

Well, at least the game is a thing now. That's something. Can't say I'm interested in another Metal Gear story after 4, though. Kinda liked it better when it was an interquel.

I'm a proper Metal Gear fan and I am indeed properly pissed.

Also very disappointed. I was really looking forward to some quality stealth and a great, quircky story; looks like this doesn't have any of them. At all.

Also it's really dumb to set this after MGS4 since Raiden totally retired and even had the crazy ninja parts removed or something.

The game looks interesting enough, but I am a bit concerned that the Kojima Productions staff wasn't able to give the game a proper direction without Kojima. No one stepped up to the plate and took charge and the game just spun its wheels until the higher-ups put their collective foot down on it. Kojima is not going to be available forever and I would like to know that the company has someone else who can direct the team and be a creative, inspiring force. It is a lot to ask, but I think Kojima Productions needs someone of that sort at the company other than Kojima.

This is what breaks my heart about this game the most.

Platinum is an awesome developer. I am happy they are taking the reins on this project.

I really don't see the appeal of this game now, it looks cheesy and dumb.

Wow, great documentary. Thanks duder that was really interesting! Got me excited for this!

Super interesting. Can't wait for this game. 

I'm not about to sit here reading inch-high subtitles for 25 minutes, but yo here's the 2 builds side-by-side of when it was being made by the in-house Kojima guys, and after they gave it to Platinum:

No because subtitles are a miserable. They're the absolute worst way to see anything.

It's WAY more than "more technologically impressive". They're like 2 seperate games. The new one has so much motion blur and giant squibs, and obviously the sword doesn't slice people with every hit now.

Personally it feels like someone should've said No and shut this game down once they couldn't get a solid design together, but maybe Kojima has too much sway for anyone to do that now.

The documentary depressed me about the state of Japanese game development. I hope this game turns out amazing and sells a whole bunch of million copies.

Day one for me.

This whole ordeal kind of reminds of Metroid: Other M. Granted Nintendo's decision to work with Team Ninja was a conscious choice from the get-go. But still, the way people reacted and the inevitability of it being a good game that the fans hate because it isnt faithfull to the franchise it's based on is dissapointing. Personally I hope it sells well just for Platinum Games sake, they keep making great games but nobody buys them because it isnt, teh Haloz or the Call of Duties..

@I_smell: The original gameplay looks pretty shit to be honest.. and action games that run at 30fps are always kind of tedious. At least the ones that actually require timing and a fast reaction speed.

I don't understand who wants this. Metal Gear fans don't want their game to be a dumb hack and slash game.

@BoOzak:

I agree, I think it looks slow, empty and weird. I don't know how a beat-em-up where all the enemies are one-hit would last.

But then maybe you had really low health n they were trying to make a stealth-ninja game or something?

Anyway at least that's interesting, this looks like a hundred other games. Some of the lines in the trailer are literally the same lines that're in Devil May Cry 3 (I played that a lot, so I noticed)
