Gawt Damn, Metal Gear Rising Looks So Wack

joshuaboy · January 19

Looks more like DMC and Ninja Gaiden. Still, will wait for the reviews to decide whether to get it or not.

Already on my radar just because it isn't a FPS

Shit looks like it'll be sooooo dope the first few hours and then get sooooo boring and repetitive like bulletstorm. I'll stick with the new dmc for my hack n slash needs

Kojima: ‘Metal Gear Rising’ Almost Starred the Cyborg Ninja Gray Fox
Jan 19, 2013 by Anthony Taormina

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance purports to combine the outlandish stories and characters of a Kojima Productions title with the balls-to-the-wall combat of a Platinum Games production. It is, in fact, thanks to Platinum that Revengeance is even seeing the light of day – Kojima initially scrapped the project but Platinum saw some viability in it.

That being said, it’s still interesting to consider what Metal Gear Rising had looked like if Kojima did stay fully committed to the project, and not began work on Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Thankfully, the prolific developer has clued us in to one of his initial development decisions – one that is sure to excite fans about what might have been.

Speaking with IGN about the early development of Revengeance, which at the time was simply called Metal Gear Rising, Kojima reveals that his idea was not to have Raiden at the center of the game’s story but someone else. That someone else is a character we haven’t seen in quite some time, the cyborg ninja Gray Fox (real name Frank Jaegar).

“I wanted to go for Frank Jaegar or Gray Fox. But if we had gone with that, I would have had to write the script and then be really committed to creating the game. I want to pass game development to the younger generation in my team, and have been trying to do so for quite some time. Before I never could give complete responsibilities for other games, but for Revengeance, they are fully in control. Besides, if I had created the game and directed it, it wouldn’t have been this game. I am very happy to see the growth in my team and how they have developed such an incredible game.”

However, as the quote above explains, casting Gray Fox would mean Hideo Kojima would have to be “really committed,” which suggests he doesn’t like when other creative personnel craft stories involving characters he has created. Kojima does, however, want to foster young talent and give complete control to a different development team.

And then that development hit a wall and Platinum Games stepped in, and most importantly Raiden was cemented as the game’s hero. Kojima is still on hand to consult, as we’re sure he was for Kojima’s development, but he ultimately doesn’t control all aspects of the production.

So while it would have been a great treat for fans to play as Gray Fox in a Metal Gear game – something this writer has been dying for the opportunity to do – that isn’t going to happen any time soon. Nevertheless the fact that Kojima still considers Gray Fox a character worth exploring, even starring in a game, suggests he is not done with Jaegar’s story.

Are you disappointed that Gray Fox is not the star of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance? What other Metal Gear games would you like to see star in their own game?

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance releases February 19, 2013 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Not entirely correct. Kojima gave it to the youngins but they didnt know what to do with it, so he approached platinum games to make it and they thought he was joking at first but now they the developer.

I think its going to be good

The Grey Fox custom sealed the deal for me.

blackkevblazini · January 22

Played the demo, And I like it. Shits as wacky as the new DMC, and the Blade Mode is just too much fun to fuck around with.
I spent most of the demo just seeing how many different ways I could fuck up the scenery with that shit.

Raging Raven · January 23

Game is just a over the top hack n slash game just like Beyonetta and has the same style as Vanquish. It worked for those games because they were original. As a fan of Raiden I wanted more of a story driven game with substance like the REAL MGS games. Blade mode while fun is just a gimmick. Game would make a great rental or decent buy for the current COD casual gamer crowd, but not worth the $60 bucks. Should have made it retail @ $40. DMC will easily over shadow this game and GOW Ascension will crush both.

Nope, but the style worked better with those games as they were original. I am pissed that Konami is treating Raiden like a step child with this BS.
Its fun in a Hulk Smash Saints Row way though. Far from the heavy weight that was MGS4 or the true MGS games.
