Read on gamefaqs forum a debate whether MGR's dev time should include the dev time it was still designated MGS:R while under KojiPro. So what do you guys think? Should the time in KojiPro be counted to give MGR as having 4 years dev time or more? Or do we only count post production studio switch which means Platinum only made this in about a year and a half?

I think so too. DmC was a big disappointment for many. I mean BP and Vorgil DLC was released and it's like no one cares. I am happy. Platinum finally gets the sales they deserve and we get a bloody awesome action game.

Point- if I didn't stumble over it I wouldn't even have heard how VD turned out.... hell I don't think anybody is talking about BP...

The only sad thing is that barely anyone from the media commends Platinum for basically saving Konamis ass and developing this game in 2 years.

I heard it was little over 1 year

I can see why they did it but I think it still would have sold around 60k. It's too bad because maybe it could have been a 400k launch.

Regardless I can see the LTD sales around 450k-500k for MGR if it follows the normal drop off rate and has some legs. For a single platform, action spin-off that's really big.

I totally forgot that it was released the same day as Rising. I only remembered because I lurk in the DmC thread.

Yeah it's something between 1 or 2 years. We know from the interview that Inaba said he aproached Kojima in the begining of 2011. The first trailer was from December 2011. So they switched the engine, changed the gameplay, the bosses, the sick OST and all the other stuff in less then 2 years. It's crazy. Where are all the articles praising them?

Most of the time we're only talking about Platinum Games when it comes to development, especially gameplay mechanics, so I'll only count the time where they are involved.

Besides, MGS:R was technically dropped and scrapped and P* had to redo everything on their engine.

Let's not act like MGR fans wouldn't do the same if the situation was reversed (see DmC vs MGR reviews). We'd hear something along the lines of "platinum games never sell, but it's still a good game regardless etc."

Point is that such things are meaningless. You don't need silly numbers or journalism to tell me that MGR is a great action game despite its flaws.

Who knows? Maybe in some parallel dimension where Kojima partnered with NT and Clover studio were never screwed over by Capcom.

Then none of this should concern you one bit now shouldn't it?

Just sharing stuff

A replica of Raiden's lost arm that contains the teaser video.

Raiden by Hiro Mashima

Raiden's family by Shinkawa

??

Kyero Fox · 2013-02-27, 20:56

I like the family picture.

SOGESNAKE · 2013-02-27, 21:29

I'm really loving that family picture... I was always wondering how Raiden spends time with his family with a body like that...

Definately getting a Solidous vibe from it though~

kenjiharima · 2013-02-27, 23:33

Now Iam wondering after the ending, did Raiden left his family again?

I was watching a Let's Play. It seems he moved his wife to NewZealand for her safety. I think he just tends to go where ever and send money back home. Your typical salary man who is never around the house.

Japan has a tendency to dump people in Australia/ NewZealand in order to put them out of mind. Like it is some far away mystical land untouched by normal worries of war and death. Can't blame them though.

kenjiharima · 2013-02-27, 23:52

Why not the north pole then with Santa? lol

Well anyways I can agree and dig with the father not always home with Raiden being a cyborg mercenary vigilante and all, but I really wanted to see older faces.

*Whispers* old Snake.

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-02-28, 00:09

Another codec conversation with kelvin says his contract with maverick was a 90 day tour of duty.

This was just before mistral boss fight

He had intended to visit them when he is done.

One very very curious question.... since Raiden is practically machine, what about sex?

At this point cybernetic advancements are good enough to cover both their needs. Raiden's brain is already so wired up that it doesn't matter much to add one attachment for physical pleasure. We are talking about Ghost In The Shell level technology here; I do believe there wouldn't be an issue. But obviously not appropriate to discuss in a video-game setting.

The only question is if his wife might ask him to wear his combat gear to bed once in a while.

After that final battle I honestly doubt there is anything that can't be solved with nanomachines

I am now up to Monsoon. he's kicking my butt too, but I will go on and unlock very hard mode.
