Metal Gear Rising DLC to serve as a story prequel

March 7, 2013 at 2:00 pm | 5 Comments

By now, you’ve mastered Zan-datsu. You can take down a Metal Gear Gecko with minimal effort and you’ve probably discovered that you can also dodge unblockable attacks. So what’s next for Metal Gear Rising, the game that I love oh so much? DLC of course! And not just some fluff costume changes either, as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, will have you stepping into the cybernetics of two boss characters when that DLC rolls around.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is how long?

February 11, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 6 Comments

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is finally out this month, and for the first time in a long time I’m excited about a game with “Metal Gear” in the title – because damn can Platinum Games make finely crafted action experiences. If you’ve played Vanquish and Bayonetta, you know what I mean. Unfortunately, their games can be a little bit on the short side – and it looks like that’s the case with Revengeance too.

I might be getting a little too damn excited for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. One might even say that I’m whoring myself out for the game. But dammit, IT’S MAH BURGIMA! The game is almost out, and the marketing machine is in full swing right now, as a cybernetically enhanced katana blow has just busted open a gushing vein of new trailers. Check ‘em out for yourself.

Say hello to the bosses of Metal Gear Rising

January 21, 2013 at 12:45 pm | 34 Comments

If there’s one thing missing in games these days, it’s proper boss fights. In an age where it took skill, timing and an eye for pattern recognition, we’ve had those glorious end-level fiends replaced by a barrage of quick-time events that barely challenge a player these days. Devil May Cry gave me back some semblance of the good ol’ days of button-timing with it’s glorious boss fights, but with Metal Gear Rising on the way, it looks like that 2013 crown boss fights is about to be snatched away.

Metal Gear Rising would have been dull without stealth

December 12, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 8 Comments

I’m excited for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which is also high on my list for having a ludicrously awesome name. Grammatical mind-bombs aside, MGR is promising to be an action-heavy game, but one that hasn’t forgotten the stealth and espionage roots of it’s predecessors, according to Platinum Games.

Metal Gear Rising producers talk about handling the blade of Revengeance

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Metal Gear Rising isn’t getting more love. It’s got some talented lads from the studio behind Vanquish, Platinum Games, working on it and it’s also a fresh spin on the cardboard box sneaking simulator that Hideo Kojima came up with. Cyborgs!Robots! Action! Y U NO LIKE? Bah, here’s a few words then developers Atsushi Inaba and Kenji Saito  about the game and how it came to be.

Light our darkest hour, with the Metal Gear Rising Collector’s Edition

September 28, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 16 Comments

One decent way to fight piracy, is with collector’s editions of games, as releasing a new title with tons of goodies and manuals for an extra cost, is usually a popular move. Some are great, like the Borderlands 2 and Guild Wars 2 CEs, others are tame, like the Prototype 2 Blackwatch CE, and then you get the bizarre, like this CE that has just been announced for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Konami reveals their latest Metal Gear Solid game, Ground Zeroes

August 30, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 12 Comments

Believe it or not, Konami and Hideo Kojima had more than just some movie news regarding the future of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, to unveil. They’ve got a brand spankin’ new graphical engine to power the visuals of their future games, and they debuted it with a new upcoming game, demoing a title by the name of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

There’s a robot dog in this latest Metal Gear Rising trailer

August 20, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 3 Comments

Some games push the boundaries of interactive entertainment, asking us to think, to look at the world with a different viewpoint. Right now, I don’t give a crap about those games, because the reptilian part of my brain that is responsible for thoughts about explosions, ninjas and cyborgs, has just enlarged itself so dramatically, that my logic and fine art lobes have been ejected out of ear canals. See for yourself, in the clichéd dialogue of the latest trailer, after the jump.

And this is why the Metal Gear Solid HD collection had a lack of Twin Snakes

July 30, 2012 at 3:00 pm | 7 Comments

Metal Gear fans were in for a treat this year, when a compilation of the iconic espionage games rolled out in one affordable bundle and increased widening of the aspect ratios. Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater and Peace Walker, while sometimes awkward and clumsy due to the archaic control scheme, were still fun games to play. Notice anything missing from that list? That would be the very first MGS game, which set the standard for cinematic gaming. And considering that an HD version was available, fans were wondering why it was excluded.

Lazygamer TV – Five games that we can’t wait for in 2013

July 6, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 25 Comments

 Last week, we had a round up of the rest of the games that will be appearing in 2012. Barring any more delays that is (WE’VE GOT OUR EYES ON YOU FAR CRY 3!). The thing is, there are still plenty of great games coming out in 2013, titles which give us a happy fizzy feeling near certain glands situated by the prostate.

While we go to a doctor to go get checked out, you can see for yourself what we’re talking about.

E3 2012: There’s blood everywhere, in these new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance screenshots

June 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 4 Comments

There seem to be quite a few people who aren’t happy with the wildly radical Metal Gear Rising game. It’s heavy on the action, has most likely little to bugger-all drama woven into it and has the explosive budget of a Michael Bay wet dream.

And dammit, this is the game that has me drooling like a pot-head in anticipation. Here’s some new screenshots to wet your appetites.

Metal Gear Rising producer doesn’t want his game to be compared to Ninja Gaiden 3

June 4, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 3 Comments

There may be post-apocalyptic futures and space-faring soldiers in the future of gaming, but one genre that has me captivated and excited, is augmented mercenary with a sword gone berserk.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be out next year, and so far, it’s looking pretty damn exciting. Just don’t go and compare it to a certain other ninja-esque game, as that would make Platinum Games producer Atsushi Inaba very upset.

New details on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance revealed

January 30, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 10 Comments

One of the titles that I am really looking forward to later this year has to be the new take on the Metal Gear universe in the form of MG Rising: Revengeance. It’s being developed by Platinum games, a studio responsible for two of my favourite titles, Bayonetta and Vanquish, and it’s looking like a mountain of over-the-top action and fun so far.

Details for the revived project have been tighter than Renee Zellweggers’ face after sucking a lemon, but thanks to some overseas publications and Twittering, a few new snippets of revenging information have been revealed for the upcoming action-heavy romp.
