Forums - Sony - Kojima not directing Rising, only Peace Walker

Pipedream24 on 03 June 2009

After the never ending cutscenes of MGS4, I'll be happy to see the series go in a different direction. MGS4 was a downhill ride after Act 2. In acts 3-5 there were more cutscenes then actual gameplay. Hopefully whoever is in charge of Rising will bring back the gameplay and minimize the cutscenes.

Also with Peace Walker being developed on the PSP, hopefully the cutscenes will be cut back significantly due storage constraints. If Kojima wants to make a CGI movie starring Snake that's great, just don't try and disguise it as a game.

To be fair, I don't think many Xbox 360 cares about MGS at all. It's more for bragging rights than anything. The MGS has about 4 mil fans that all own a PS3 already.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

I cannot wait for Metal Gear Rising. I would love to see another vantage point of the MGS series. That is what Kojima doesn't seem to realize. MGS can live on if he focuses on another vantage point of the story. It don't care if Kojima will be apart of the new MGS game on PSP. Raiden is f'n awesome. You PS3 fanboys are so desperate to shoot down Metal Gear Rising, but fail to realise that playing as Raiden will give you a lot more to do than just playing as Snake in a slick and stylish form and fashion. Kojima may not be involved in the MGS: Rising storyline, but it doesn't mean he wont oversee it. He wont let this game be any less than an 8/10 and you know it.

Coming from the person who believes that Kojima's latest and greatest masterpiece...is an interactive movie. Propping a game up because it's on your console. "You PS3 fanboys blah blah blah", it's gonna be on the PS3. Why would we shoot down our own game? Fool

That, and they think they "stole another exclusive" when this game was never announced for the PS3 beforehand. Like I said, all these people say they're "looking forward" to it, yet it's the same people who from the release of MGS4 till now have been calling MGS interactive movies

Maybe it'll be coherent.
Now if they could fire the guys that write the script.

I'm playing the original MGS on my wii and my god he wants to be a hollywood director.
The script...

I'm pretty sure that the scripts are written by Kojima himself, with the help of a few other people.

Then the game stands a chance with Kojima gone.
Unless the guy who plays Snakes voice wants to write the script then it's cheese-o-rama again.
