Best Quote of the Week ~ [9/20/15]

          "I was born in a small village. I was still a child when we were raided by soldiers. Foreign soldiers. Torn from my elders, I was made to speak their language. With each new post, my masters changed along with the words they made me speak. With each change, I changed, too. My thoughts, personality, how I saw right and wrong. Words can kill."

~Skull Face from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Years of knowledge. Thanks Mei Ling. Thank you, Kojima.

          "The tongues of dying men enforce attention like deep harmony. Where words are spent, they are seldom spent in vain."

~John of Gaunt from Richard II, Act II

Best Quote of the Week ~ [7/26/15]

          "You mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes. Human beings can choose the kind of life that they want to live. What's important is that you choose life... and then live."

~Dr. Naomi Hunter from Metal Gear Solid

Best Quote of the Week ~ [7/12/15]

          "I was born on the battlefield... And I'll die on the battlefield. All I can do is fight, Snake... all I can do is fight."

~Gray Fox from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

Best Quote of the Week ~ [11/11/12]

          "I could see the planet as it appeared from space. That's when it finally hit me. Space exploration is nothing but another game in the power struggle between the US and USSR. Politics, economics, the arms race - they're all just arenas for meaningless competition. I'm sure you can see that. But the Earth itself has no boundaries. No East, No West, No Cold War."

~The Boss (from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Reannounced

          Just some quick bullets.

          UPDATE 1 (12/15/11): The Truth Behind Rising video added after the jump.

• Platinum Games (Bayonetta and Vanquish) is now handling the game design while Kojima Productions will still be handling the story, characters, and the cut-scenes.
• The original team couldn't find balance between the stealth and action or an identity. Hideo Kojima stopped the project until he brought in Platinum Games who saved it.
• Has a new story that is now taking place after MGS4 instead of in-between MGS2 and MGS4. This was to give Platinum much more freedom.
• Platinum Games is really quick with coming up with new ideas and do it.
• The game will focus on action--Cutting and how good it feels to cut.
• The Zan-datsu (Cut and take) element is still there, but is no longer a main part of the game. It's optional now.
• Quinton Flynn is reprising his role as Raiden and Kris Zimmerman, Voice Direction Goddess, will be the voice director.
• Raiden seems to have fallen back to his Jack the Ripper self ("He sounds like the Devil!").
• The game will run at 60fps.
• Hideki Kamiya will not be the director. The director will be announced in due time.
• Yuji Korekado will be the producer.
• Not a part of the Metal Gear Solid series (I'm thinking this means it's non-canon, but not exactly confirmed)
• It a Metal Gear game, but is a complete new Metal Gear experience
• Will be available for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. PC version may have been dropped.
• Playstation 3 is the lead platform.

          A extended trailer is on the new Kojima Productions Metal Gear site (add your memories!): http://www.metalgearsolid.com/. More pictures after the jump. Also, check out the KP Report Session 152 for more info. (The KP Report is a great podcast by the way! I've been listening to it for years now.)
