E3: Kojima to be hands-off for MGS Rising Comments by Oli Welsh

He shoulda told us this at the MS conference. :)

well at least it's remained a stealth game I guess.

In other words, MS is sorta paying and manning the team for MGS: Rising? But still couldn't get exclusivity? Interesting.

Ah well. Hope it turns out good as I want it.

And instantly, my interest in this game rises.

Hmm - this has Dirge of Cerberus written all over it.

That actually means MGS: Rising may be not boring like MGS 3 & 4 though my expectations for the story are not very high, it's MGS after all.

Get ready for a generic DMC / Dirge of Cerberus clone.

Atleast 360 owners will know what its like to stare at the back of Raiden for hours realising he really does have a feminine ass.

@easy_lee: And instantly, my interest in this game rises.

Exactly what I though :D Though I'm sure he'll still have something to do with the story/cut scenes.

Perhaps this one won't be such a bloated mess then...

Less of the Dirge of Cerberus hate, please =)

Seems like a huge plus point to me that he's not involved

Didn't Kojima like erm ... quit directing MGS?

IMO MGS 3 was ace, 4 not so much.

LOL at people trying to spin the story of Hideo's non involvement into good news... Sad fuckers.

mgs rising is a good pay cheque, 360 and ps3 = loadsa money for konami. Down side not really a 'kojima' game and ultimatly may be alot more shallow with the 'western' direction....

For starters when he says a true MGS game cant be a generic DMC ttile of any short.. I mean you cant be incapable to realise the most obvious of the interview/article. If so why did you read it? Or you just jumped in here to make this comment cause you are bitchy for the fact you got no exclusives left? Go play GT and Uncharted to feel better about yourself maybe? ffs.. and then again my second comment on you is that for some reason you are the only one aware of Raiden's femine ass for some "funny" reason, dont you think? lol.. sad kids i tell ya.

SO nothing interesting as news about this game? Ill consider it another MGS which dont interest me since MGS2.. Ever since a MGS is nothing that interesting to me unfortunately.. Lots of great games to be waiting when MGS will be great again for no reason. When it is great it will be heard.Hope this is though.
