Hay the game play may look like s**t and it may look like its not even close to the war look like most of the time but to me "Metal gear" is metal gear so ill get it anyways.

It wasn't THAT bad. Plus a gameplay trailer on television will always look terrible. emotion_yatta

I'm just not feeling it this time sadly. The earlier trailer looked a bit better looking if you want my honest opinion ((It had a more darker feel to it compared to the wild and over the top new one)). I'm not saying it's bad but I'm just not psyched for this one.

Personally Kojima needs to work on a game around The Boss ark. The Mother of the Special Forces having her own game would absolutely grab my attention.

It looked pretty good to me. I don't know what everyone's complaining about.

It pretty much jumps the shark as much as jumping the shark is possible. This article sums it up pretty well: http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1214596p1.html

It's just way too far removed from what Metal Gear is all about. I mean, MGS2 kinda jumped the shark, and MGS4 pushed it a bit further, but this is going to the n'th degree. It doesn't fit into the Metal Gear universe at all. It's way too over the top even by MGS4's standards.

Luckily, MGS4 summed up the series pretty well, and tied up all the loose ends, so it's not like fans were left on a cliffhanger, wondering "what's next?" So it's not like they need to buy this game. I mean, it's not like it's gonna give them their "Metal Gear" fix anyway.

Another problem is that the story is going to be the "After" Metal Gear Solid 4. Now this would be lovely but from what I understood over a year ago the original story plan was going to be the "before". The original plan sounded better and more suited. Just to get to know what made Raiden turn into a cyborg ninja and how he met Big Mama just sounds more interesting.

Actually, I think 'before' would've been worse. Because the original trailer still had him cutting up all those cyborg guys and stuff. And it's like, "If this happened before MGS4, then where were all these cyborg guys when MGS4 took place, and why have we never heard of them in MGS4?" You know?
Either way, it's not a favorable direction for those who have been with the series for a while.

whoa, i like the idea of a game through The Boss' story. Maybe they'd explain why going to a war zone while pregnant seemed like a good idea.

Here's a better problem, uhh there's this whole lack of stealth in a game series designed for stealth provision that makes me... i dunno, gag?

In an interview Mr. Kojima revealed the was working on it so we can expect to play as The Boss

If Metal Gear Rising seems a let down, wait for MGS5!
