Kojima: Metal Gear Rising is selling well worldwide

It's the first Metal Gear game ever that I haven't purchased Day 1. And I still don't own it, haven't even tried the demo..... what's wrong with me??? Someone tell me or show me one thing (non-spoiler) that as a huge MGS fan, will make me trade in a bunch of stuff to buy it like right meow.

the game has 540 unique codec conversations.

and many of them are pretty long.
 
This game is Rising (heh) it's way to the top of my favorite games this generation. Seriously. Congratulations Platinum, KojiPro and Konami. You guys earned it.
 
I'm also impressed on how they actually got the slicing water melons tech demo into a actual fun to do game mechanic.

Platinum on ZoE?

Nah, put From Software on it.

Nah. From Software isn't that good at making a feels good and layered fast action combat games, ACE is kinda shallow, and as far as Armored Core and Dark Souls goes...I'll just stop there.
 
What's the best version? 360 or PS3? Still need to pick this one up. Don't know which platform yet.

I'd like to know as well, specifically the image quality. I'm leaning toward the 360 version, but I can't stand blurry IQ. The 360 version is native 720p correct?

If you care about IQ the cutscenes are higher res on PS3, in game they're both the same visually. DF said the 360 version has a performance advantage but I only noticed a couple frame drops on PS3 in a couple QTEs. Controller preference is likely the biggest factor between the two.
 
Not my kinda game, but good to see it do well.................. I...uh... worry about giving Kojima too much license though...

I he can somehow contain himself to the mindset he had during MGS3, I'll be happy.

Good. Good.

Glad I double-dipped with regular and JPN LE. Worth every penny.

Both versions are pretty much equal according to the Digital Foundry report here. The 360 has a very slight framerate advantage while the PS3 has better cutscene image quality. The most significant difference between the two is that the first set of VR DLC Missions (I'm unsure about the rest) are exclusive to the PS3 in the NA (they'll be available on both the PS3 and 360 in Europe) which may be a deciding factor. Ultimately I'd say it's up to your controller preference but the eventual DLC pack may be worth taking into account if your in the affected region.
 
How much time was there between the release and when they took over the project?

I might be annoying people by bring this in this up in every thread but I think its worth reminding people that this game was built from the ground up in Platinums engine in


Less than one year.

In some ways that makes Rising their greatest achievement.

Is that still coming out on PC?

was it ever?

edit: Fucking hell, I can only imagine how good a PC version will look. Locked 60fps...yum.
But yeah no idea. No info has been released so far, guess they want mirror of fate out the way first.

The achievement is good enough that we don't need to exaggerate- it was more than a year. The Platinum version was revealed in December 2011 and there was footage at least from the first level so Platinium had already done some work even at that point.

Kojima said that he was about to cancel the game around the end of 2010, so I assume the game went into full time development some time during 2011.

KojiPro admitted that Platinum's workforce is insanely fast. MGR is a testament to the dedication of PG.
 
I did my part. And it's my first Platinum game too.

Haven't played it much, (just finished getting my XCOM platinum) but what I have played is pretty awesome. Don't think I'll be able to get the platinum trophy for this though, seems too tough for me. :(
 
This is incredible news. Platinum Games [and those involved] definitely deserve the recognition.

Metal Gear Rising is an amazing product.
 
It's a great game and definitely deserving of the sales. Hopefully it does really well and they'll get a much bigger budget for the sequel on PS4/720. I'd love to see MGR on next gen, as the environments do look a little bland to accommodate the 60FPS. 60 FPS 1080P yes please.
 
Platinum deserves every ounce of praise they receive. Congrats to them, and bring on Bayo 2, Wondy101, and Rising 2.

Take my fucking money, SON!
 
Hopefully this means MGR2 is a lock. This game was a blast, and Platinum Games is a perfect fit for the MG universe.

Platinum on ZoE?

Nah, put From Software on it.

No way. Zone of the Enders is what Armored Core should be like, not the other way around. From screwed up hard with AC4 and ACV.

Because this.


Rising needs more kojima and a little less platinum.

No no no no no no no.

edit, your right actually. My bad, got my dates wrong.
 
No thanks. MGS4 was enough Kojima for at least a decade.

Actually, while the game great, it could have been even better. The money wasted with cutscenes, plot, codec and other shit should have been spent in creating more and bigger stages because mechanically, the game is perfect. The Platinum part is an instant classic, the Kojipro one not so much.

Get out.

I wanna see the receipts.

have you even played the game yet?

Look guys. Seriously, I get it. As a DMC fan I find DmC to be a cheap tacky parody of the franchise I know and love. But rising isn't replacing anything. it isnt a reboot, its a spin-off. You already had one and possibly two MGS games annouced in the meantime. Whats with the continued hate?

Even I can see why People may love DmC. Why is it so hard to accept that this may be a good game when viewed on its own merits?
 
Awesome news for an awesome game. Well deserved. I think this shows that Platinum Games is mo arguably the most talented developers in the industry today.
