I'm gonna wait til the VGAs to watch it, but i'm not entirely keen about Platinum Games heading up a MGS game.

Kojima's still involved with the story but the game's a spinoff. Metal Gear Solid 2 is where the story should have ended, MGS4 was a giant retcon full of fan service and no real stealth so I'm grand with this.

why? platinum has been knockin it out of the park with their releases, Bayonetta and Vanquish were brilliant.

Was assuming they had full control. Kojima's involvement alleviates my concerns somewhat.

no Snake?

Snake can barely get out of bed in the morning without snapping his hip, I doubt he'd do very well in this scenario.

This game has been in development way too long.

But Platinum? Interest reignited.

Looks pretty cool. Is it a PS3 exclusive?

Looks like Devil May Cry/Bayonetta button bashing was not a fan of either games which is disappointing as I was looking forward to Rising

Looks good in a Bayonetta way, looks ****e in an MGS way.

bugs

Platinum games, done it again, it looks fantastic.

Cringeworthy.

It's a good thing buttonmashing never got you very far in Bayonetta, it's probably why you didn't enjoy it.

That and I didn't really 'get it' which is suprising as I am very open minded when it comes to gaming

looks like a cheesefest.

Platinum!

I am interested in MGS again.

Retr0gamer

Wasn't interested in this until I saw Platinum were involved. Looks like Bayonetta. I like it!

Raiden lifting a Ray and throwing it?

I knew MGS was over the top, but really?

LighterGuy

So Kojima was at the VGA's.

I think there are two ways to look at this game...

1, its definitely looks sh*t compared to regular mgs games.
But 2, if you take it as a stand alone spin off game? .. maybe it'll be a good game.

I dunno, my initial reaction was looks terrible tbh.

Retr0gamer

All I know is that it looks a damn sight better than MGS4. I think the Rising project turned into a disaster and it was handed over to Platinum, which gets a thumbs up from me.

Helix

easily the most unintentionally hilarious trailer i think ive ever seen

Yeah, that made me think ''Come on now...''.

WolfForager

So this has been changed from Raidens story from between MGS2 and MGS4 to a post MGS4 story...

MGS4 spoiler:

If at the end of MGS4, Raiden was a normal human again... then how the ****.....

No and.. Its just looks major cheesy. Which is a big turn off for me. Resident Evil could get away with it back in 1997 but not now a days

WolfForager

Kojima Productions handling story and cutscenes, gameplay solely by Platinum.

as opposed to him stopped a submarine with his tippy toes or whatever it is he does in MGS4?

MGS as a whole is majorly cheesy, it always has been, MGS4 is a big ball of cheese wrapped in a cheese wrap and dipped in cheese. when MGS tries to be serious it just winds up being overly dramatic and funny. this is the same franchise that has a recurring gag about someone sh1tting his pants and dozens of gay innuendo jokes in amongst bosses who are already dead, can control peoples minds and have their own army of bees.

I hated MGS 4. I liked the first 3 alright, but the 4th just took the biscuit

Oh yeah, that was ridiculous. He stopped it one arm cut off too and stabbed himself in the foot for some reason.

Retr0gamer

Anyone thinks that this is more over the top than MGS 4 and MGS 4 was a work of high art is a moron.

I had completely forgotten about that scene....

Retr0gamer

I want to forget it.

Pretty much killed any interest I had in this game. Bayonetta/DMC did nothing for me (Bayonetta made my eyes water due to terrible screen tearing though). They are just no my cup of tea at all.

I loved 1 and 3, didn't really like 2 or 4. Thought the two handheld games where good. Very dissapointed with this turn of direction.

REVENGE WITH AVENGANCE

REVENGANCE!

I don't get people's surprise in the direction the game is taking. I mean, we've known for over two years that it was going to be a fast paced action game featuring Raiden and that's exactly what was shown in the trailer. The fact that it's being developed by Platinum just means that the chances of it being a ****ing awesome fast paced action game have increased exponentially.

Also, greatest. tagline. ever.

johnny_ultimate

Just watched the trailer.

REVENGEANCE!!!

GotY.

It is very like Bayonetta and DMC, which turns me off somewhat. I'm about to offend alot of gamers here, but Devil May Cry and Vanquish were, imo, ****. I'm sure there were complex ways of stringing hits together to make an awesome combo but visually they were eye-fúck games.

You say all that as if it's a bad thing!

Potential-Monke

It is, i like to see what's actually happening. In those games it's bright colours and visual slash markings & schnickety-schnoink sounds.

But you can see what's happening if you pay the attention the game deserves. It just knocks everything up to glorious eleven.

Bayonetta seems to have this reputation amongst a lot of people as this silly Japanese OTT nonsense. And yes, it is all of those things. But it's also the most transcendent gaming experience of recent years. It has a fighting system with every bit the depth and ingenuity of the best traditional beat 'em ups. Sure, button bashing might get you so far, but when you actually learn the system and involve yourself with the combat, Bayonetta is a new pinnacle of gaming poetry in motion. When you enter hard mode, and the game demands that you learn and abide by the game's systems and rules, the game shows its true multicolours and reveals itself as the best video game of a generation.

There are few games (mostly the likes of Street Fighter or Treasure games) that have central systems as beautiful as the one that propels Bayonetta to heights unreached by so many others. To dismiss it as schnickety-schnoink (?) demeans a masterpiece.

piffle, DMC3 is awesomesauce, as is Vanquish, one of the most gloriously fun shooters of the current gen, and you can get it new for about a tenner these days. the best (and worst) thing about Platinums games is they tend not to sell as well some bigger names so they drop in price pretty quick, I bought Bayonetta for like 25 quid less than a month after release.

Potential-Monke

I think this is where we differ. We both play games because we enjoy them. You seem to love games that demand time and effort to get the best from it. I love games that are enjoyable to play without too much effort. And i don't mean pick up and play games, i do enjoy the challenge of getting things right, but some games make you work too hard to get things right. They're the ones i don't like, which is why DMC never appealed to me.

It's like the Final Fantasy series, too much to process and demanded too much of my patience (plus time based combat? GTFO!). Just not for me. And i'm sure the payoff for getting things right in DMC and Bayonetta is immense, but i prefer the challenges presented by games like Batman, hard but not overly complex

And i gave Vanquish a good effort, and i wanted to like it, but it just wasn't for me. Also, there are not many games in which future-esqe settings are my cuppa tea. And i was never a huge fan of games that have OTT weapons (God of War being an example, but because i love the mythology).
