Yeesh. The tweets that he just made earlier this week? Come on - you can't cancel a game and then announce a new version from a different developer a week and a half later.

What did he tweeted?

Hype + 10 for Rising if true. 3DS MGS6 (PW=5) can sod off though - they better not limit the scope of the game to fit on that platform.

A 3DS version (as opposed to a spinoff using downscaled HD assets) wouldn't make sense, no, but wouldn't having NGP as the baseline necessitate some significant compromises compared to MGS4?

Kojima to Square to head up FFVII remake?

Kojima should take some of the old Silent Hill staff that Konami has fucking around in KCET's basement, team up with Hironobu Sakaguchi, pull Yoshinori Kitase away from Square-Enix, and make some new dream-team company!!!

I WOULD RIKE!

Spoilers for Bayonetta's final boss fight ahead: The final part of Bayonetta begins with
you riding a motorbike up rockets being launched, before you proceed to fight God, who is a massive, lumbering female, in space. And at the end of the fight you kick God into the sun
. That is why this is awesome news.

The 'Solid' part of the title has nothing to do with Solid Snake really.

Metal Gear 1 and 2 had Solid Snake as the protagonist while not having 'Solid' in the title, and MGS3, MGS: Portable Ops and MGS: Peace Walker didn't involve Solid Snake.

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.

Not necessarily. If true, I hope it does though.

I just don't see why they would put it on a platform that had achievements and not support it, especially given how much we've been demanding them for the last 3 years.

You could have just talked about the greatest opening sequence in gaming history.

Bayonetta is full of amazing sequences. I feel sorry for anyone who can't get past the art to play that game. Truly missing out.

Oh dear god, DO WANT!

[edit]I do hope there's no trouble at KP, though. New team leaders and all, it'd be kinda sad if they weren't able to cope with the game's development. :(

far more enjoyable than someone trying to tell you would be to play it & discover why for yourself :) ...

Haha, honestly I have more faith in PG making a good MGS action game than Kojima.

More faith? That's a given and goes without saying. If E3 disappoints I'm blaming YOU TTP, no one but YOU.

This sounds fucking hilarious. I've always wanted to play the game but I only have a PS3 and I didn't want to play that kind of game with any framerate problems which I heard were prevalent in the PS3 version. If Alan Wake doesn't come to PC then i'll get a 360 down the line and i'll definitely get Bayonetta also.

I rented Vanquish through Gamefly a while back and while I don't think it approaches Bayonetta (not many console titles this gen do), it's still quite a ride. As someone who's played a lot of Quake I absolutely adore the speed and furiousness of that game.

Platinum Games rocks.

OMG this sounds so good and so fake. But it's TTP. I will believe. It would make sense after Kojima's tweets, he really wanted his younger staff to develop an MGS without him.
This E3 is getting more exciting.

It's possible that his source is a time machine -- this guy just picked up a magazine from 5 years from now and came back..

Only issue with that is he may have just changed the future by releasing this info.

If memory serves, in an old interview, Kojima said that MGS1 was initially to be named Metal Gear 3, but since the game was supposed to be a worldwide release, he decided to rename the franchise as "Metal Gear Solid".

The "Solid" part refers IIRC, to the 3D jump from the pixel/2d based games. Apparently Solid was also a nod to Squaresoft. (Since a "solid" cube is associated to the 3D perspective, and Square at the time was doing mostly 2D based games.)

I played the PS3 version, and it's not the unplayable mess some people want to make it out to be, as long as you update the game and install it on the HDD. The 360 version is probably the superior version (I wouldn't know, I haven't played it), but the PS3 version is by no means unplayable.

Makes sense that Platinum would be in charge of Rising, to some extent. The way the characters moved in Bayonetta and Vanquish would translate well to Raiden's movements.

I'm curious to see what Kojima has in store for E3. I hope we get something of the caliber of the original MGS4 reveal.

I still think he recent tweet was as a result of having seen the MW3 trailer. I'm guessing if he announces a new PS360 MGS, it is about WW3 in multiple countries or some such, lol.

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

gonna be funny if after all this, Kamiya could just be a advisor or something.

Same.

I agree with that also, but Rising wasn't intended to be a pure action title like Kamiya makes. It was meant to be a faster version of MGS where a sword is the primary weapon instead of guns. It was even confirmed that you could make it through the game without killing anyone like in the previous games.

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