Good point, my bad but the mere fact that they've referred to it as MGR since speaks volumes for what the game really would turn out to be. Not really, mainly because in the trailer they showed it was hardly stealth gameplay, what with all that shooting and the bright lights, hardly a stealth game at all (and yes, i have played MGS2). Point 1: Bold Point 2: How could it possibly have looked like MGS gameplay at all? First of all you're a cyborg and secondly your primary weapon was a sword, hardly an Operator or a .45, there is no way known you could have MGS gameplay, because that is unique to Snakes character. You can't make a traditional MGS game with a character like Raiden, hes too over the top and as i said there were far too many plot holes with the original from the get go. Copped out? More like they recognised that this would not turn out so well so instead of trying to make something they simply can't, gave it to someone who could. I don't blame them for the change and it gives them room to make a MGS.

Probably because, like in most games, you level up your character to god-like extents, so it would seem weird for Raiden to be absolutely freakin awesome in Rising only to be a tad mediocre compared in MGS4. Then you had that strange sheath that was completely unlike what he had in MGS4, and how he needed to take on that energy stuff (presumably) to survive unlike MGS4, how his armour was more black grey rather than the white one-piece suit in 4... Basically too many differences between it and 4 that couldn't be explained away easily, i can see why they changed it. After, as it gives Platinum more flexibility and because KJ was struggling to make a worthwhile story bridging MGS2 and MGS4

First of all, this was never a Metal Gear Solid title. The "Solid" bit is actually an incredibly important symbol as the third word signifies a new style of game (Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Ac!d and now Metal Gear Rising). It was never intended to have the same gameplay as Solid. Second, this is still called, and always has been called, Metal Gear Rising (i dunno where you got any indication otherwise), now its just made by Platinum. Its like the love child of Metal Gear and Devil May Cry....and i love DMC. Finally, he wants to make MGS5, you'll get your next "normal" title soon enough.

I don't think they pay particular attention to the actual characteristics of the weapon. So long as it looks like a cannon, they could attach whatever variables they please and no one would really be upset.

I dunno, i personally liked "Tom Clancy's hates you" the most

When DICE somewhat approach what BIS creates then they can start getting away with bugs.

Run away from a tank? Pah, /offtopic

I am continually impressed by the medias ability to show something thats possible in a game and make it look like the whole point of the game.

Agree that its complete and utter crap that they get away with it, but it is pretty bloody hilarious. Besides, the vid below, he doesn't do this all the time, i've played him once or twice during the Beta, and hes still too good. Dj_17Uvfwes

Model trains are far superior to a videogame about trains.

Not that i condone the practice, just for teh lulz

I'd still rather have some sort of variety than just Arma, now matter how good it is.

The Gears one is so bloody true though.

I'm going to break from the norm and say that GRAW on PC was far and above the crap that was delivered on console. Theres a difference between having different tastes and ditching the unique tactical shooter genre to make a bog standard fps game in the search for more $$$, assuming that if you pander to the masses (CoD), they'll make millions...which they won't, because those people will play CoD.

Internet fight! Ubi vs DD...not that i think that this would happen at all, its just a little convenient thing to say given all of Ubi's whinging. Compare this GR to the GR's of old and then tell me whether this is a good thing.

I think i speak for many when i say most of us will buy everything BIS makes. edit: Far less opinionated article with full transcript http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/11/17/interview-bohemia-interactives-ceo-on-fighting-piracy-creative-drm/

"Because of Piracy" is gonna become a new meme, i can just see it.

Thats a pretty damned horrible forum, i'd be willing to bet even CM's users are more mature...

Theory: This whole obsession with "destruction" has killed the tactical gameplay of BF? I mean you don't have to blow up every single damned thing on the map to win, which is what most of my BFBC/1943 matches have come to.

Thats why i only buy CoD every two years, because thats actually how long it lasts on its own.

CoD is too easy on PC, i didn't even finish BO because of that.
