So.... Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, thoughts?

[crimson sickle2]

Pre-ordered it a while ago, picking it up this weekend.

 

[Arslan Aladeen]

I really love stealth games, but I also really love hack and slash games (mainly Japanese ones) and since I don't know when Bayonetta 2 is supposed to be out, this will do nicely. Sure its ridiculous, but personally I don't think it looks that much more ridiculous than what I've already seen and played of the normal Metal Gear games.

 

[deserteagleeye]

Revengeance? What, did they exhaust the dictionary and just decide to start paging through the thesaurus for obscure words that sound vaguely manly? What's next, exploobs?

Don't care about the game mind you, but good god, what a stupid sounding name. That's like the fps game coming out, 'warface'. I can't hear the name without cringing.

I like the name because it kinda embraces the over-the-top ridiculous action with an appropriate title. It gives off a sense let-loose-don't-even-give-a-fuck-crazy-awesome spectacle.
I'll definitely rent it after I'm done with the MGS HD collection.

As much as I love Platinum, I'll be playing it a while after release (mostly because I'm slowly paying off the limited edition).

 

[piinyouri]

Too much of a shark jump for the MGS universe for me, plus I don't think we really need anymore DMC/GoW games.

Hey, this looks pretty fricking sweet. Might have to give this a look if it's coming out on PC, which I doubt...

 

[Maximum Bert]

Will probably get it at some point purely because its an action game that Platinum games are behind I lost interest in Metal Gear after being disappointed with 2 and 3 but with the original DMC and Bayonetta Platinum have made two of my all time favourite action games I am hoping this will be good as well.

Wont get it on release though money and time is to tight at the moment.

Oh and im aware they werent platinum games yet when they made the original DMC and as with all companies the people inside change from time to time.

Looks like Ninja Gaiden set in the Metal Gear universe...

"Well we have guns on this guy and he has a sword, hey lets throw our guns away to fight him with batons!"

How would guns be better against a cyborg ninja that can deflect bullets? Not to mention if the cybernetic enhancements pack the power of a jackhammer into every limb I think a baton would be more powerful than a gun.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I'm hoping against hope that they will try to get this ported to the PC. I am really interested into playing this game, especially giving the acclaim Platinum Games have received as developers after making Bayonetta (which I haven't played either).

Just watched the trailer again and holy shit that was stupid.

"Hey I can cut a car in half with a single stroke, but I have to slash this mook 15 times to cut him in half."

Or the police..

"Well we have guns on this guy and he has a sword, hey lets throw our guns away to fight him with batons!"

Yea that is pretty dumb. But I guess the conceit is that cyborgs can just dodge small arms. Raiden is able to block bullets during his ninja run. As far as the whole cutting thing you can cut the mooks at any time in one hit but you have to use blade mode which requires meter. In the demo I cut the legs right out from under one of the mooks in the first encounter. I'm glad you brought that up because I hadn't thought to use blade mode right at the outset to get rid of mooks.

So after watching the trailer, I'm quite interested in getting it, it looks good, what does everyone else think?

I think you shouldn't get hyped about a piece of marketing material that could make even the shiniest pieces of poop look good.

Just look at Aliens: Colonial Marines and that big old drama surrounding it. Wait for the actual game to come out and decide for yourself with all the facts. Don't buy into hype made by people who could care less about the quality of the game.

 

[Hyenatempest]

I'm angry at it for not being ground zeroes...I saw it on the coming release line up and got super excited until I remembered it was the wrong one.

I'm probably not going to play it honestly. I really like stealth games, but few hack and slashers have ever really stuck out for me.

Have you seen the early walkthroughs of this game? They're amazing!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

After playing the demo, I preordered it straight away.

It's good honest dumb fun. My impression while playing it was that that the game knows that too and doesn't take itself too seriously.

The soundtrack is awesome too.

Guess my point still eludes some people. Again wait till the final product and you will know 100% whether its worth the money or not

Don't worry that's my plan, ever since Aliens I'm being a little more cautious about these things, I played the demo (it was brilliant), but I will be holding off for at least two weeks for two reasons, 1. Wait until the reviews come out and see how it does, 2. If it's good, might as well get it the same day Game of Thrones Season 2 on DVD comes out, just to make my day even better

You can more or less one shot regular mooks in Blade Mode. Also, they are cyborgs.
