GDC 09: 'Metal Gear Solid'... Raiden?
Posted by Jeffrey Kanjanapangka - Thursday, March 26, 2009 3:03 PM


If you've followed the Live Blog of the Kojima's GDC 2009 Keynote, you might be asking yourself, "What's the deal with the last startling images of the presentation?".

After a rousing speech taking audience members through the entire Metal Gear franchise the last image we were left with was a bold still which reads "Mission: The Next MGS". Furthermore, planted in the top right corner of the still is a clear impression of the cyber ninja Raiden (close-up after the cut):

Which leads us to Kojima's interview earlier this week with IGN, where he stated that work was currently underway on a new game and that "An official game announcement will be made at E3." Could the images above be the smoking gun for the next Metal Gear Solid to be a Raiden-specific outing? Given that of course, there was no other mention of specifics or hints given throughout the keynote, for we'll have to wait and see not when, but what will be announced at this year's E3.

There's definite writing on the wall, but what's your theory on the official announcement at E3?

As long as they keep the crotch grabbing, annoying rose calls to a minimum I'm there... well I would still be there even with all that...

[Candy Kappa]

no more Raiden, he had his moment in MGS4, I'd rather see the snake clone in Ac!d 2, or even Snake fiding a cure... just no Raiden....

[Mecha Cow]

I see Raiden still makes people insecure.

[Archon_Turtle]

I actually love the MGS4 Raiden. They can make more games with him. I'm good with that.

MGS2 Raiden...Not so much.

OMIGOD! His penis makes me insecure about my manhood!

Sums up MGS2/Raiden for me.


Johnny would be a nice candidate for the next MGS game, he even looks like snake when you get past the whole never-ending diarrhea

[Peanut]

Cyborg-Raiden is awesome, but I couldn't see using him for a Metal Gear game. At least, not without it being an entirely different gameplay experience.

[Doc_ock_4mugen]

OMIGOD! His penis makes me insecure about my manhood! Not really It's just that MGS2 was set out to make Raiden the biggest sissy ever... Ando besides the Presidential salute and the annoying rose calls... Except the optional Colonel call that you can make on one of the bathrooms on the Big Shell... All rose calls were annoying... Rose IS annoying... I hated calling her in MGS4... not even the weird six axis boobs compensated the annoyingness that is rose... she was tones down on the annoying factor, but she irked me like no other character has done... besides Toad and his "Thanks Mario, but the Princess is in another Castle." Or Navi with her "Hello! Hey! Listen!"

[Ninjinister]

Am I reading into this a little too much, or is the fact that they're using the acronym "MGS" a hint to the fact that it'll still be called "Metal Gear Solid" (or at least Metal Gear <something else starting with S>).

[Candy Kappa]

yes it say MGS so it'll might be the fith chapter of the solid series.
I'd be cooler to see metal gear and metal gear 2: solid snake have a remake by kojima

it was a big mistake not having kojima on twin snakes

[Peanut]

Continuing the series as MGS would be a further kick in the nuts.

As if they didn't completely ruin the end of the solid series already. May as well make the ending of 4 even more meaningless.

[Candy Kappa]

I loved MGS4 it wrapped it all up.

but IF Raiden is the hreo in the next game, I wonder how the story will be since he had a happy ending in MGS4, being back with Rose and his Kid... Something similar to the movie Taken?

[Peanut]

I loved MGS4 it wrapped it all up.

In the most ridiculous way possible.

[Candy Kappa]

In the most ridiculous way possible.

not really it all made sense
in a kojima kinda way

[Peanut]

You don't get what I'm saying, so I'm not even going to bother.

[Candy Kappa]

oookay then

[Leo656]

I don't own an oil company and I'm not planning on selling a kidney, so I don't have a PS3 and thus haven't played MGS4 yet, but I think all the hate Raiden gets is a bit much. It could be an interesting take on the series. I mean, it's a business, they'd be stupid to kill MGS off.

I do agree with everything about how annoying parts of 2 were, but the game was fun to play for me regardless.

[Cure]

Oh, we're back to hyperbolic bitching about the PS3 being expensive? I didn't realize it was still 2006.

[Dr. Doom]

For what you're getting, it's actually a much better value than the 360. That is to say, it's much less expensive in the long run for various reasons, such as built in wi-fi and free online, plus you're getting a blu-ray player.

[Peanut]

Not if you're buying your console to say...play good games. Maybe I'm crazy in thinking that way, though.

[Dr. Doom]

Well I never said anything about games.

[R-iZZy]

Not if you're buying your console to say...play good games. Maybe I'm crazy in thinking that way, though.

LOL. We have a winner.

But yeah Leo656, the Raiden hate has drastically died down ever since his role in Metal Gear Solid 4. If anything, people probably wouldn't mind playing as him now [that is if we can still pull off the sick moves he executed in the cut-scenes for Guns of the Patriot; his fights with Vamp and the Metal Gears = orgasmic].

Realistically, the PS3 does have its advantages over the 360, and if you want your 360 to even so much as do what the PS3 does [like connect to a network wirelessly, play online and play new gen media (although this route for the 360 is obsolete now)], then it would all total to more than what a PS3 costs. But seeing as those are just luxuries that can be sacrificed [besides playing online], it really doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the 360 destroys the PS3 in the software department, and that's what really matters to me.

[TristanHuwJones]

Is anyone else here getting that slight sense of unease that accompanies the excitement of announcements like this? I was excited for RE5 for instance, but at the same time very dubious... It's getting to be the same with Metal Gear for me.

[Peanut]

Is no one else disappointed that Kojima is back on the f*cking Metal Gear horse again?

Do something else already.

[愛]

Guy needs to make a new Snatcher or Policenauts and bring that here, if you ask me.

[Mecha Cow]

Is no one else disappointed that Kojima is back on the f*cking Metal Gear horse again?
In a way, yes, but I'll probably still be there on day one.

However, I do wish the guy would grow a pair and do what he wants to do, instead of what he thinks other people want.

[Peanut]

In a way, yes, but I'll probably still be there on day one.

I'm not even saying they shouldn't be making a Metal Gear game, I want a new Metal Gear, I'm saying Kojima needs to move on from it.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm not even saying they shouldn't be making a Metal Gear game, I want a new Metal Gear, I'm saying Kojima needs to move on from it.

oh hell no. anything metal gear that Kojima was not in on sucks.
metal gear remake on NES, snake's revenge, twin snakes etc...

But he's not in charge of the next MGS, he's only supervising ( as he was supposed in MGS4 but since the team where so crappy he took over)

but I'd like to see more games from him rather than just MGS of course, but i don't think anyone else is fit to take care of metal gear imo

First of all, the team who's worked on the MGS series knows what the f*ck they're doing at this point. Second, you bring up the NES version of Metal Gear, which was a sh*tty port (not a remake); Snake's Revenge was an entirely different team; and there's nothing wrong with Twin Snakes at all, people like you are just retarded. The only complaint I ever heard about Twin Snakes were the cut-scenes, which Kojima very specifically asked to be over-the-top, he even approved all of them. Either way, no one has had a chance to work on an actual new Metal Gear title without Kojima being there, so we can't even make an educated guess at how it would turn out.

And we all f*cking know Kojima. He's going to be "supervising" then he's going to get something in his head and pretty much take over again. I want to see what else he can do, aside from f*cking up the Solid series more than the ending of MGS4 did.

[Mecha Cow]

Unless you think the (admittedly goofy) redone cutscenes ruin the game, Twin Snakes does not "suck". No, the game clearly wasn't designed to include the MGS2 gameplay additions, but if it's really that big of a deal to you (and it shouldn't be), you can just not use them. It could be argued that it's an inferior remake, but the complaints about it are ridiculously exaggerated.

[Candy Kappa]

the voice acting are horrible, they're plain boring and don't have the same spirit as the PS1 original got, Hayter sounds like he's bored and all they others are following his example. It's just dull listening to them talk.

[Mecha Cow]

The VA is fine. The only one hamming it up is Hayter, and he does the same thing in MGS2-4.

[Candy Kappa]

A friend of mine have a walk through on Twin Snakes.
And I'd say he have a lot of good points in his videos.
