Revengance takes place after MGS4, is an action title

[pacific_islander]

I think after ogre and rising. The series will reboot..and be simply titled Metal Gear Solid.

If it's after Rising, wouldn't that mean Snake is most likely dead? Maybe Raiden became a murderer after Snake died because he couldn't cope or some shit. I don't know.

Rising is now absolute garbage.

1. Graphics DOWNGRADE : it's super obvious the 'new' Rising LACKS ambient occlusion and advanced lighting. Anyone who doesn't believe it, go compare it to the old gameplay trailers.

2. Gameplay F-up : Any benefit of doubt I gave it previously; regarding the inclusion of stealth, has now been sliced up into nasty bits.

This marks a big loss of respect for Kojima Productions and it proves the claim of the trend of killing of the stealth genre X1000.

If they were suppressing Raiden's childhood memories with nanomachines and hypnotherapy, imagine what happens after the AI network's information control center is gone and Jack's memories all start flooding back in.

That would most likely explain his "jack the ripper is back" thing. He's lost his mind and is behaving pre-MGS2. He's acting more like the monster Solidus created.

The part i'm finding hard to accept is that we are seeing the post-Patriots world, which looks pretty much identical to the Patriots' world. I don't see how they're financing all these Metal Gears, since the war economy was eliminated. Also, for Metal Gear AI to function, you need to use a hive-mind network, which was also tied to the Patriot's AI network. The MGs shouldn't even be functioning unless they are piloted.

Raiden's body was an experimental cyborg created by printing stem cells onto scaffolds that were shaped as muscles(replacing the protein scaffolds that your body uses to create its shape-this is a real technology) and they were threaded and grown onto a cyborg endoskeleton. It seems that the technology has taken off since MGS4 and Madnar may be behind it. In this specific setting, it seems that everyone has started to embrace this new cyborg approach, since the SOP system is gone, along with the combat benefits it provided. Becoming a cyborg soldier is the new 'in' thing.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that Hideo has branded people with modifications as property of specific companies. This is why they have the bar-codes. Psycho Mantis was the first to have the bar-codes in the series, although they never said why or what he had performed on himself. They showed up next on Ocelot's Liquid arm. Later on, they would appear on other characters like Raiden himself. Anytime they performed human enhancements, they'd stick their barcode on it. I assume it was AT security doing these things initially. The security firm guys in this new trailer have bar-codes on their heads, signifying their enhancements from whatever company has been doing this over the years.

As for the gameplay...I'll take it. The last thing I want to do with a Cyborg Raiden is sneak around and knock on walls. This isn't Snake's game. I wanna do all that shit that I saw him do in part 4.

Uh, the new Hitman trailer had Agent 47 going in guns blazing, so yeah, stealth genre = dead.

The whole thing looks pretty fucked up. I hoped they would go Assassins Creed style, now it looks like random hack and slash game with "METAL GEAR" in the title. But the only reference to MGS is Raiden.
I haven't seen the trailer, but saw the screenshots on the official site. The guys are looking like GRU soldiers from MGS3. Will it be in Russia?

What the fuck is this?

[Victor Katilis]

hahahahahahaha.....


I'll rent it.

P.s. oH WAIT, DID I SEE VAMP?

[Guest (yes, the comedian)]

Set after MGS4? Fuck off, don't put the word reboot in the trailer and then do this to us.

[3rdmillhouse]

I saw this coming a mile away. It was just a matter of time before the technology in the Metal Gear universe became indistinguishable from the Deus Ex universe. Liquid's cyborg arm was a hint towards that, also the massive widespread use of nanomachines.

[Henry Spencer]

The only game I would call real "stealth action" this gen is Human Revolution, everything else is just *BOOM* or shite (ass creed).

And at anybody who still cares about the Metal Gear canon.
