Not
only that, it is also revealed that Platinum
Games
(studio who developed Vanquish
and Bayonetta)
was actually involved in the development of the game. We didn't seem
to notice it but it was revealed that the game had its difficulties
and it almost quietly canceled according to Hideo Kojima himself. But
it was able to regain grounds when the development is now pass to
Platinum Games. A video has been posted on Konami's
official YouTube channel where they talks about “The
Truth Behind RISING”. It's basically an interview of people
from Kojima productions also with guys from Platinum games and tells
their piece of story behind the development of their Rising
project.
As
usual, some fans make some fuss about it. Ever since it was tease
back on 2010, some fans already rumbling like, “this isn't MGS”,
“it's not MGS at all”, rant this, rant that. And now, adding to
the negative reaction is “why Platinum Games?”.
Personally,
I think MGR:
Revengeance
will turn out just fine. I believe Kojima productions had already
pointed this out that Rising
is a totally different game that focuses more in action rather than
the traditional stealth/espionage action of the old MGS. That is why
in my opinion, changing the title to “Metal Gear Rising” is a
good thing, although I'm not sure about that “Revengeance”
subtitle-thing but heck, just get along with it XD. And I think
Platinum games can do this just fine. Like what some of my buddies
said - “Platinum games' elements fits to cyborg ninja Raiden
afterall, so why not?”
So
in the nutshell... It's NOT Metal Gear Solid. It's Metal Gear RISING!
Get it?
