If it hits at least 7/10 reviews I'll pick it up day one.

Can MGS Rising be the culprit of the late release?

This game went from being a February 2012 release to being a 2013 release and still doesn't have a solid release date. Even with its original release date, info on exactly what kind of game it is was scarce. Many people (including me) thought it was an action game like Bayonetta. It turned out to be an arena fighting game like Ehrgeiz or Power Stone.

I had my money ready back in February. Now, I don't even know if I want this game. It's really sketchy right now and I suspect there was a good reason for why it got pushed back.


This kind of delays are killing games. I mean it is understandable, Platinum has a lot to do (MGS Rising Bayonetta 2 and P1000)

The game is already finished and is launching in Japan next month and has had a demo up for a while now. There is no development reason for the game being pushed back. Platinum already announced that the EU and NA versions will be identical to the Japanese one and are fully finished. The reason is simply that Sega are jerks.

Also I would say it's only vaguely similar to powerstone in that they are the same genre but the games are vastly different in style and approach. Much as how there is huge variety in all genres. Off the top of my head the best comparison I can think of would be something like the Gundam Vs. series. Something I've always considered to be a true 3d fighter (As opposed to say '3d' fighters that are still just on a locked in 2d plane that rotates such as DoA, Tekken etc). 

Also info has never really been scarce or it made out to be an action game. In fact to quote the very first announcement and press release
''We’re excited to reveal details on upcoming third-person multiplayer brawler.........With ANARCHY REIGNS, PlatinumGames will be using their hallmark creativity and technical excellence to challenge the boundaries of the conventional brawler genre by allowing multiple players to get involved in heavy-hitting action simultaneously. ANARCHY REIGNS incorporates a diverse range of multiplayer modes to provide players with different challenges, including Tag Team battles and Battle Royal, where players can challenge others in a full-on fight for victory.''
It really couldn't be much clearer that it wasn't an action game in the Bayonetta style. 



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.
