No. Wrong. Kojima has expressed multiple times that he finds "Metal Gear Solid" to be an albatross around his neck: he wanted to make more Metal Gear, not Metal Gear Solid 2, which is a big part of why that game flipped the bird to fans so many times. Metal Gear Solid was just one part of the Metal Gear saga, it just spiraled out of control due to fan and corporate pressures to continue the story under that moniker. Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Rising are equivalent. One is not greater than the other, it's just needlessly longer. They are both subservient to the Metal Gear franchise. |
oh well, at least this thread proves out I'm not a Sony fan otherwise I'd care a bit more.
Still I knew Kojima hated continuing MGS. He kept doing his whole "This is the last game" speech. I know he hated the original games that came before he took the reigns of the MG franchise as a whole. Because of this many gamers don't consider the original NES games as much more than random titles before the good times.
I just wonder if MG Rising will suffer the same fate of Solid and get a 2, 3, and 4 or will it fill in the gaps in the story on where he was during points in the MGS story arch.
