Hmm... I don't know how I feel about this. I actually haven't liked any Platinum games that I can think of except for Vanquish, and this game is supposed to be different.
I don't think "quiet and understated" are the right words for Metal Gear, but I see what you're saying. I'm still pretty excited for this though. Platinum is pretty awesome in my books.
Is "now developer by Platinum" in the title a typo, or is that a clever play on words because of the use of "revengence"?
There is no 'a' in 'revengence' since it's a made-up word. They can spell their phony bastard word however they want.
Hey Holmes, did you like Infinite Space? that is a game and was made by Platinum games, did you like that one, Holmes?
Watched the trailer a few times.
Gotta say I fucking love it.
For as quiet as people say the MGS games are, they still had their over the top moments. So I think it's cool to see a game embrace that a bit.
Though IMO if Kojima is still over watching, I bet we'll get some of the slower stuff in as well that Solid fans are much more accustomed to.
Can't wait really hope this game is making a 2012 release

Best news ever. MGS is already a ridiculous insane series and it's time that transferred over to the gameplay.
I've never considered Metal Gear all that serious a series. It's contrived and weird and the sort of thing that could only come out of Japan. The storylines, the characters, the music (Snakeeater)...everything about Metal Gear is absolutely ridiculous, when you think about it. That's why I love it.
Granted I haven't seen the trailer because Viacom keeps blocking it, so maybe it really will be over-the-top absurd, even for a Metal Gear game.

I was going to link the no button, but then I watched the trailer, it looks fucking AMAZING http://yeahbutton.com/
@Jonathan Holmes, there need to be more of these kind of games. Although, I think any MGS fans will want to avoid this one.

After watching the vid my hype is officially gone, while I don't mind a switch up from the regular metal gear, this looks just to out their, maybe that's devs goal but I'm not digging it. I'm still getting the game, and I'm probably going to enjoy it but it won't go much further than dynasty warrior enjoyment.
"Metal Gear; a series that I've always relied for its capacity to be quiet and understated."
Did you stop paying attention to this series after MGS on the PS1? :P

@st0pnsw0p Spelling isn't grammar; it's vocabulary, albeit made-up vocabulary in this case.
I'm glad they dropped the "Solid." I never thought that made sense considering it's not about Solid Snake (or Solid anyone as far as I'm aware.) The "Revengeance" is pretty silly though. I've actually never played a Platinum game, so I don't know what to expect. The trailer left me with mixed feelings too. A little too strong Shadow the Hedgehog vibes...

The thing is, most of Metal Gear WASNT over the top. It had some fantastical moments, but nothing that isnt feasible in some sense in the future.
I actually havent thought that Platinum Games, games are actually that great. Id say mediocre. I think people tend to over-rate them for whatever reason.
Raiden wasnt supposed to be a cool badass character, but more of a tragic hero type who sacrificed his humanity to get the job done. It's a completely different mindset and feel of the character from MGS4. If Im right, it's still supposed to take place between 2 and 4? Plus having yet ANOTHER ninja is kinda not that good of an idea. The metal gear Ray fight looked pretty awesome though

Yay for Platinum but "Revengeance" seriously? could they not decide which cliche subtitle they wanted to use so they just combined it into one new non-word?
I've used the word "revengence" myself a few times, though only in jest. I never realised I created/was using a real word...
I never thought it possible but it looks like canon characters can be Mary Sues as well.
I-I dont know. I just don't know.

@ Foggle- Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't it possible to beat just about every Metal Gear game without killing anyone but the bosses? And doesn't ever game in the series have plenty of moments where the best course of action is to quietly sneak across the battlefield, without a shot fired or a loud noise made?
Sure, all the games have their bombastic moments, but they know how to be subtle as well. I hope Revengeance carries on that tradition, as well as the other key elements of the Metal Gear series.
Otherwise, why call it Metal Gear?

Well, nobody can say that the title's subname has been overused... or ever used in language. Sounds like an in-joke about sequels.
"Otherwise, why call it Metal Gear?"
The same reason they would make a movie called BATTLESHIP: THE MOVIE. :D

So if it's developed by platinum games, then that means the plot will probably be the shallow, standard fare of hack n slash cutscenes as opposed to MGS's traditional 6 hour long cutscenes.
Yeah... I don't know why, but it just doesn't click with me. All of the really "intense" parts looked either scripted and/or silly to me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for this game, but I refuse to acknowledge "revengence" as a word. As I type this my computer isinsisting I mean "reverence".
Revengeance? Dear Lord. Well, we can file that under the stupid name category along with Infinite Undiscovery!
Looks stupid and silly.
I fucking love it.
But, I better be fucking able to not kill bosses in Rising, otherwise heads will roll... Because I'll have to decapitate the bosses.

I can see that argument for Devil May Cry - you drop the frame rate in half, outsource to a half rate non-Japanese developer, and completely revamp Dante without calling it a "remake".
But MGS? If it's the same, "war never changes" story, the same codec sequences, same country of origin for the developer (more hands-on from the producers), the same Jack/Raiden character, and a lot of the same series characters, I can see it working, and I can see why it deserves the MGS name.
Platinum Games may make shallow action titles, but Kojima's bros are overseeing it - it won't be all shallow.

Well... that looks terrible. I always hated Raiden and even more so now with his stupid high heel boots and long finger nails. He looks like even more of a bitch then he did before which is an accomplishment all things considered.
@Magnalon
I wouldnt quite say that. Ever played Lords of Shadow? It was really predictable story wise, and while not horrible, it wasnt exactly the best story told. It was an ok game, but not amazing like the Metal Gear games.

@Holmes - I'd agree with you if they were calling it MGS5, but they're quite clearly seperating this from the MGS series by calling it Rising. I think a change in pace and mood is okay, considering.
To me it's not even that much of a change in mood. In a universe with giant robots, clones, cyborg ninjas and a man taking another man's body through a grafted on forearm, suspending your disbelief at some gratuitous violence isn't that a big a stretch =P
