I wonder which team will win :)

MGS2 wasn't as good as any of the others due to Raiden being the main character. Not many like him, then they turn him into a super ninja to replace Gray Fox which he failed at. No one can replace The Cyborg Ninja. I can see it now, Rising will probably be very similar to Ninja Gaiden with some what stealth added into it. PSP's Peace Walker > Rising. That's how I think it will be. Though Rising does have advantages..

ii honestly think the malee in all mgs is mediocre at best ........it is a stealth game @ the root but who never gets caught n doesn't get force 2 use malee...........its can't hurt unless u just hate ninjas 2 the bone

Imo, the MGS series were mostly about stealth rather than going going out in the open fighting enemies. What I was trying to say was that I think Rising will be more ninja action type than stealth. Also not to mention the main character is Raiden. I prefer the series how they are right now. I hope Kojima doesn't change the way of MGS like Capcom did to the RE series. Less horror/puzzles, more action/gun fights.

the Peace team has Mr Kojima writing, producing and directing.



And we all know that ever since MGS4, he became our new god.



God > New Guys

Ive owned a business before... this is what I would do. Cut as many corners as I could to look good to the boss, anything I fcked up in the process could be fixed after release with a patch or something after I already had my moments of glory heh. People actually do this too, seriously! (not saying this is what happens, but its a possibility)



Of course thats a situation too where a Boss wouldnt know you cut corners, just praises you for getting somewhere or getting so much done so fast.

"What I was trying to say was that I think Rising will be more ninja action type than stealth" Ya think? It was understood months ago that this would be totally new thing for the MGS series.

Its competition yes but in the end the fans win. But the smart fans will lose when they have to put up with fanboys crying which game is better. I wish it would have been the other way around personally. I'd like to have Kojima working on Peace Walker on the PS3 and Rising on PSP. Peace Walker seems like its the next installment while Rising seems like the spin off. However Rising can't just be half assed so its getting the higher platform which is fine I'm going to get both and I don't know which I'll like more and I'm not going to be biased about it. Its all Metal Gear. Hopefully this pushes them toward Metal Gear 5. Doesn't even have to be Solid. They can introduce some new hero, I just want Kojima to keep doing work (its like a great author with a solid series)

MGS2 was the best game in the series, by far.

This is probably nothing more than him just saying he's not used to having 2 teams at once working on both a home console game and a portable game. The differences would make one team jealous of another since it's harder to make a game which is supposed to live up to MGS4 with the limited resources provided by the PSP (and it seems Konami as well for funding).



Hopefully the rivalry shows in the finished product.

as konami will sell both anyway. ^^

okay, wat the hell...



someone actually liked mgs2 best?



why?



apart from the tanker area in the beginning where you pay as snake, the game has super boring envirioments, orange greyish stuff.



the boss fights didn't have the excitement the original has.



altough i liked the emo stuff when it came out, i tried paying it recently and jesus christ it just doesn't make sense, i dunno it feels kinda...well fake



don't get me wrong it was a good game and i never found raiden that much of a *****.



care to explain why?

we have to remember rising has an engine built from scratch because it's a game going multiplatform, so they couldn't use MGS4 engine for that. It will also be interesting because it's going to be something completely different from the Metal Gear universe we are used to. I think story wise or concept wise Peace Walker has the advantage because is a continuation of the main story. Obviously we cant compare specs wise or financial backing for obvious reasons. Peace Walker just seems badass at this point and we haven't seen anything on Rising yet.
