So it's not just because the main character is named Solid Snake? Umm, okay...

Well he was named that in previous games.

And the word Solid in Metal Gear Solid has three meanings. First of all, Solid Snake is a character name. Then Solid also suggests three dimensions--you know, a 3D game. The third meaning, deals with Square, you know, the company that does Final Fantasy. A square is a two- dimension thing. And I guess the president of Konami wanted this game to surpass Square. They wanted to make it a cube, you know, like solid 3D. So it's got that meaning. too.

It would be a big slap in the face if MGS4 went multi-plat and still had no Trophies.

 

[d0c_zaius]

MGS4 on Steam?

Yeah enjoy your 40 GB download

DC Universe is worse, at least MGS4 is in parts.

But 40gb is not to unrealistic by todays standards.

if it had Steam achievements......

 

[SolidSnakex]

Kamiya will make a better game than whatever the hell Kojima Productions was doing.

Sure since it appears that they completely failed at what they were trying to do. I'm just saying that I don't have a lot of faith in him making a great MGS game. That's why I said that he'd be better suited for something like ZoE than MGS.

 

[Graphics Horse]

What does it refer to then? I always just assumed it was because of Solid Snake. I'm sure there's an explanation that involves extensive mental gymnastics, or someone just decided it sounded cool.

It's just some ancient article where Kojima says 'Solid means this and that and of course Solid from Solid Snake'.
Somehow this made people across the internet insist it's nothing to do with Solid Snake whenever they have the opportunity. A bit like that uncompressed audio nonsense.

 

[Biff]

Kamiya will make a better game than whatever the hell Kojima Productions was doing.

At least the Kojima version would have run flawlessly on PS3.

Bayonetta lol

The tag line for MGS Rising was "Lightning Bolt Action." Ain't no one gonna do that better than Kamiya.

Give me some Ninja Raiden with Dodge Offset and crazy cyborg abilities and I'm good.

 

[beast786]

Wait, when was Rising was an all out action game? My perception was it was stealth with action bit like MGS4 but with sword.

Not happy. I wanted the stealth. There are enough action games already. Can we please have at least one Stealth franchise..... :/

What's the size of the PC version of DUO?

 

[Buckethead]

Yeah me too. :-/

 

[Monocle]

Everything Kamiya touches turns to gold, so this can only be a good thing if true.

 

[RustyNails]

MGS5 multiplat would make sense if 360 gets a subsistence type re-release of MGS4. In either case, now both 360 and PS3 fans can groan together at Kojima after he retcons the universe some more

 

[sleepykyo]

Kamiya will make a better game than whatever the hell Kojima Productions was doing.

Yes. Unless you're playing the PS3 version, which will run at

(let's see Bayonetta went from 60 to 20 to 30fps and MGS4 was sub30fps so)

10-15fps.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It would be a big slap in the face if MGS4 went multi-plat and still had no Trophies.

Good thing that isn't part of the rumor.

 

[Zeliard]

(let's see Bayonetta went from 60 to 20 to 30fps and MGS4 was sub30fps so)

10-15fps.

Vanquish PS3 actually has the edge over the 360 version.

 

[Duffyside]

I wonder if TTP's source was LaLiLuLeLo. A private message exchange after the "Kamiya is Rising" post...

 

[Snuggles]

Vanquish PS3 actually has the edge over the 360 version.

Plus, Platinum Games was not responsible for the PS3 port of Bayonetta.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Plus, Platinum Games was not responsible for the PS3 port of Bayonetta.

Yeah if you want to shit on anyone Sega is your man on that one.

Omgosh he said "Wow!" Platinum has bought Blizzard confirmed!

 

[Kagari]

Ahaha, oh Kamiya...

 

[SolidSnakex]

But the truth is... RT @brianjkim: If the rumor that @PG_Kamiya is making Metal Gear Solid: Rising is true, I may die from excitement.

http://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/73928745731366912

I've never played MGS series yet... RT @brianjkim

http://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/73928953626243072

Yup, the very wonderful one. RT @krokounleashed: @PG_kamiya Hope your new game will be shown soon.

So basically Kamiya is a troll like Kojima, Ono & Boon?

 

[Zeliard]

Teasing bastard.

 

[iavi]

sometimes i wonder if he's just being coy.

It's feeling that way. Either way, I cannot wait for this E3.

 

[ezekial45]

It sorta reminds me of the time when he was trolling a mega DMC fan.

It was hilarious.

 

[beast786]

If he is not denying it. Then it is obviously YES. Otherwise why would he mess with kojima and not deny it.

 

[zlatko]

If true then I'll be more excited for this game than I originally was.

 

[Kagari]

Makes you wonder what they were doing for 2 years...

 

[TheKaeptain]

Oh man. If he starts trolling like Kojima...HAHAHAHA

 

[the chris]

So basically Kamiya is a troll like Kojima, Ono & Boon?

Does this look like the face of a troll to you?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Hopefully making a good enough engine for Kamiya to use.

 

[TTP]

Not sure how to read those tweets. :/

*Hires bodyguards just in case*

 

[Krev]

Everyone is assuming that Kamiya being behind it means it will be a Bayonetta clone. Kamiya is quite a versatile director. There's no reason that it can't be a mix of speed-based stealth gameplay and sword action.
I'm imagining this with a Vanquish-style boost (to move past guards) and a lot of wall-jumping and craziness, and I'm liking the idea a lot.

 

[Kagari]

Not sure how to read those tweets. :/

*Hires bodyguards just in case*

We're watching you, TTP!

 

[jett]

Sure since it appears that they completely failed at what they were trying to do. I'm just saying that I don't have a lot of faith in him making a great MGS game. That's why I said that he'd be better suited for something like ZoE than MGS.

Kamiya's achievements:

-Invented the modern action game genre
-Directed the best 3D modern action game
-Directed the best 2D action game
-Directed a spectacular Zelda-styled action adventure game
-Directed the best traditional Resident Evil

Stealth lol. Stealth would be nothing to this guy. Rising barely resembled a MGS game anyway.

At least the Kojima version would have run flawlessly on PS3.

Bayonetta lol

Vanquish ran the same on both consoles. Bayonetta on PS3 is mostly Sega's failure.

 

[Pyccko]

Ahaha, I was just about to say this thread needed that picture.

 

[MrSerrels]

TTP is awesome - Nasu bros for life man [fist bump]

But I don't think this is happening.

I have no doubt something funky is going on with MGS: Rising, and maybe Platinum is involved, but I don't think he'll be directing MGS: Rising.

He's a guy that seems a little happier being involved in his own IP and his own projects.

Just my guess.

 

[Sickboy007]

?

 

[LiK]

this is true. Kamiya doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the PS3 port.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Is it too much to hope for Naoki Maeda to deliver a talk on the game's troubled development history, followed by a live gameplay demo whilst dancing?

 

[Kagari]

?

Kojima has had little involvement on the project from the start.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Not sure how to read those tweets. :/

*Hires bodyguards just in case*

Just out your source as a liar.

 

[brotkasten]

Kojima has had little involvement on the project from the start.

Maybe he tried to get Rising cancelled and failed!

 

[SolarPowered]

If this rumor is true then I expect this Metal Gear to be one for the ages.

 

[gutter_trash]

the Steam news is tasty too

 

[Krev]

Whether he's making MGS: Rising or not, it's really exciting to know that Kamiya's next game should be at E3.
