Kojima wanted Grey fox to be the main character on Raisin... [Read More]

I just wish they would remake the NES Metal Gear.

Me too but so many remakes..mmm or HD collections.

Damn you Kojima, you should have told all those losers to shut it and do what they're told GRRRRRRRRRR!

Gray Fox is second only to Snake himself. I think Ocelot would be a way more entertaining main character, the guy does have one of the more confusing and, dare I say, the most interesting background in the series.

A remake of the NES version would be great, but I'd rather see a remake of the original MSX Metal Gear. I finished both, but the original MSX version is superior in every way.

Maybe Platinum didn't like the idea.
They wanted some bad-ass to reach this *new generation* of kids playing MGS.

Many characters have awesome background stories.
But well...Kojima always teasing.

I'd died fapping if it was Grey Fox. Grey Fox (Null/Frank Jaeger/...Deep throat) is indeed second only to snake.

Raiden is cool... I loved his quote and moment in MGS4, when he said "I am lightning...", but... I fear they are changing his character too much here. I saw the trailer, and he seemed one cold-hearted bastard. I'm gonna enjoy it though. And its long since I played MGS2, so I cannot remember if Raiden was like that...

This game would have been better if it wasn't the game that it is today.

Granted, I haven't played the game yet so I can't judge the entire game, but I have gotten my hands on the demo of the game and it just feels off.

Having Raiden transform himself back into a cyborg ninja after finally having settled down with his family in MGS4 just feels wrong. I can't really see his character making that dramatic a change, I believe that the game would have been better if they had stuck with the story of what happened to Raiden between MGS2 and MGS4.

Also, the gameplay doesn't complement the story of the game; we have a cyborg 'ninja' or sorts with a knife that can cut as good as anything; only drawback here being that you are only allowed to slice through a set amount of things ( This really breaks 'immersion' ). For example, it is just weird that you have to unleash an entire combo on a Gecko's leg in order to damage it in Rising when you have seen Raiden slice through those things like a hot knife through butter in MGS4...
Conceptually, that 'slice anything' mechanic has been flawed from the get-go and it was quite clear that it wouldn't jive with any sort of story, but they stuck with it and this is what we get...

[/end of rant]

tl:dr I wish kojima would have taken control of this game

He had control over the content. He choose to give the chance to platinum.
Think he is working on ground zeroes and the new engine.

Not easy task for a guy like Kojima.

I know they are trying to make Raiden into some mean ass mofo... but I just can't see it.

You want an awesome MGS game? make a game of Gray Fox as a boy soldier. It's a shame over sensitive retards would throw the biggest hissy fit ever if a game was made "glorifying" child soldiers... ok and to be honest, we all know there are 2 closet retards somewhere out there whose parents are equally retarded that would do something stupid to bring blame to the game.

On a side note, anybody saw the anime Jormungand? That reminded me of the good ol' Honest Hunter.

As far as the remakes go, an MSX remake would be awesome, the NES game tells basically the same story, but the gameplay between the two is very different. Iirc, Kojima wasn't too happy about the NES ports (All those moons ago Konami could force him to do stuff).
