Watch, PlatinumGames is actually working on Zone of the Enders 3 instead of Metal Gear Rising. We've had it wrong the entire time!

Now that would be a good use of their talents.

Totally fucking win-win situation either way it goes!
Snatcher sequel, of course. With no combat.

I just heard from a friend working at an unrelated dev in Japan that this is true, though Kamiya himself is not on the project. My friend says he's heard it from too many other sources not to believe it. Rising was apparently in trouble before being moved to Platinum--the watermelon vid was said to have been complete crap, not at all in engine.
Been a while since I plaued but I've always played with gamepads and can't think of any problems. I believe you aim wit the left analog and at the end you can use the right analog for sword attacks.jett said:

How much would you pay for a port of all three games in one pack on Steam. I'd drop $60 like that, but only IF they include MGO from Subsistence.
Dont think they'll port MGS4 though. I'd pay $60 by itself if it were ported to Steam. That's Cinderella dreaming for sure.

I wouldn't write anything off just because [face man of company] wasn't involved. I've heard way too many behind the scenes stories about such people at other devs (people many GAFers love) to ever pin my hopes to one individual who may or may not in actuality do more on a project than look in on it for minutes every month or so.rikichi said:fuck that then
I think Platinum working on Rising is awesome, though.
Based on Kamiya's track record, I'm pretty confident he's not the kind of designer you describe.Blast Processing said:
Look at Platinum's Mad World and Infinite Space. Neither are close to being in the same league as the Mikami and Kamiya games.
The director matters.
If the watermelon cutting is not really in-game, I think we can assume that the scene in the trailer where Raiden cut the pillars and railings collapsed is also not in game, as it is arguably more impressive than watermelons.
If that's right, then what do KP have to show for two years of work?

as cool as this news sounds it is pretty embarrassing for Kojima productions to have to call in another dev and have them finish the game after they spent a few years trying.
I wounder how they will spin it.

No Kamiya on the project, no sale....

Kamiya did recently say that he started working on his new project before Bayonetta was completed.

I'd rather Kamiya make another new IP, TBH.
I'm going to be very disappointed if Platinum is talking it over completely and basically starting from scratch. Hopefully it's a collaboration between the two companies.
It's a real shame that, if this rumor is true, that the team was having problems with the development of Rising.
EDIT: Although Kojima has denied this rumor, apparently?

Given that the game was demonstrated live as recently as last September, if Platinum had started from scratch they wouldn't have much more to show by now than Kojima Productions did at E3 last year.Zen said:
Perhaps Mineshi Kimura is still director, but a team with experience developing character action games was brought on because the KojiPro team didn't cut it?
To be honest I'd be a lot more excited if Shuyo Murata were directing. What's he up to these days?

There's been a rumor floating around of late that Platinum Games, maker of such fine games as Bayonetta and Vanquish, is developing Metal Gear Solid Rising for Konami and Kojima Productions. Based off a few brief Tweets from VIPs at the parties involved, the rumor appears to be false.
The rumor originated overseas, but quickly made it on to Japanese humor blogs like My Game News Flash. A link to the My Game News Flash story was passed along to Platinum Games' Hideki Kamiya, who responded "So this rumor has also come to Japan." Hideo Kojima replied to Kamiya's Tweet, saying "But it would be nice if it were true."
Kojima's statement in particular seems to indicate Platinum Games is not actually involved in the project. Even more telling -- the two probably wouldn't have said anything if they were planning on an E3 announcement of the partnership.

That was already posted in this thread. I think the explanation for how that could not disprove this rumor was that it would be odd for Kojima to say "It would be nice if it were true (that you were working on this instead of my people").

Shuyo Murata better be directing Zone of the Enders 3. >:|
Kamiya didn't confirm or deny it, and Kojima's Tweet doesn't help either.Zen said:
