Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Gamescom 2012 Trailer

I have never played a Metal Gear game before (I know, I know) but something about this one looks rad. Hope it turns our well. Add another high profile game to early 2013.

@cannonballBAM: Well thanks, I try.

I don't usually take notice of words that are underlined for being misspelled anymore, but it is funny sometimes when you notice some common words that are not underlined because they are correctly spelled different words in Swedish. Words like "and", which is a type of seabird, "for" which means went/travelled, or "is", which means ice.

That looked really dumb. Yep, this is a Platinum Games joint - not that there's anything wrong with that!

No countdown timer for old times sake?

Man, as a huge Metal Gear fan, and an OG fan of Raiden...Platinum/Kojima Productions better not fuck up Raiden's second game.

One day I'm just going to say fuck it and play all of the MGS games.

Having never played MGS, I'm just confused as to why that mech was bleeding.

This game continues to look awesome.

The Dirge of Cerberus of Metal Gear.

Hoo boy, that is some hilariously bad dialogue.

Is oil man , also Metal Gear.

Robot dog with a chainsaw in it's tail? ... That's Metal Gear alright and I can't wait!

again, why on earth is that tank bleeding? #makeitright

Who wouldn't want a robot dog with a chainsaw.

so he chops up a helicopter with a sword and the thing people complain about is a mech bleeding? I dont understand people

Looks like a trip down crazy town.

Which is awesome to me.

.......Wrong.

Screw fans hating on this. It's a spinoff dudes. Chill the eff out!

Oh man. OH MAN.

I can't stand Quinton Flynn's gruffer 'snake-esque' delivery. In fact even in MGS4 I wasn't a huge fan of Ninja Raiden and I've always preferred his MGS2 iteration. But this game looks supremely goofy--even by Metal Gear standards--above all else so it fits in here more so than it did in MGS4.

Probably won't be rushing out to get it, but I'm still very intrigued to see how this will all turn out.

could be cool, but then again it is a Konami release

why is he wearing high heels? did i miss something?

This video is absolutely bananas. There are like 3 false endings where it just starts up again, insane pseudo-conspiracy theory crap thrown across the screen in huge capital bold font that's barely coherent, a vaguely politician-esque dude getting violently impaled out of fucking nowhere for no apparent reason, bizarre music that doesn't fit with the visuals whatsoever, and great narration.

What the fuck is this assault on my senses?!

I think this game is going to be incredible.

Have you never seen a metal gear trailer before.

@Cirdain: I have, and I've played all the damn games too! It's just this video is absurd!

You really really should.

I don't know about this. For me, the Metal Gear series was always about pushing the veneer of plausibility as far as it could possibly go, and discovering how much people would tolerate... but this seems to go so far over the line that it isn't really sporting anymore.

I mean, the brilliance always came from watching hard-boiled military jargon and complex geopolitical history slam head-on into sci-fi anime madness, and watching both sides totally refusing to flinch.

With this game, it looks like that battle is pretty much over. Anime wins, and does a million victory laps all over everybody's faces. So I don't understand what the point is supposed to be anymore.

I mean, he jumped on the fucking missiles. There's really no coming back from that.

Hold on..

K-9000 --> K 9 1000 --> Canine thousand.

Robot dog.

FFFFUUUUUUU

poochie GET!

So for everything "badass" they made Raiden into from two, they still put him in heels.

god of war/ ninja giden (sp?) but with a good story? Sounds like a dumb fun game to me

If this doesn't feature a playable section as child soldier Raiden then this game will be junk.

Also, killing the Darpa chief in this trailer was pretty dumb, but given that there are already more than a few silly things in this game perhaps I may be making a mountain of an anthill. (btw I'm well aware that is not the real Darpa chief)

This is still a thing?

I have to admit, I have a un-abiding dislike and an almost unforgiving attitude about everything Raiden..except for some of MGS2 oddly enough. His parts in MGS4 simply and completely creeped me the hell out to the point of almost preferring watching Octagon do his predictable overwrought freak out instead.

But the more I see this trailer and the more I have become attuned to the MGS universe, where to take it seriously and where to write it off, I am becoming intrigued. I love the hyper bizarre world logic coupled to the almost well done militarism. That bad guy with the sword looked well, BAD and nicely uniformed i might add. No helmet but good side shields . Excellent facial expression.

it's a strange thought, but if this game goes well (Platinum and all) i may actually consider at least getting it....

My only real question is, wtf, why did Big Bo turn evil?

He wanted more. He wanted to be... Big RoBo.
