Metal Gear Solid

id even go further and say 4Q 1011, with how kojima is viewing the the teams work so far.

Woohoo so we're coming up on the 1000 year anniversary any time soon!

One of Kojima's favourite games is God of War so I'm hoping this is a hack n' slash with metal gear influences.

I'd be interested if it was like Devil May Cry 3 in terms of style but with Onimusha type mechanics,  and retained Metal Gear's mission oriented gameplay, instead of just running around killing stuff to get to the next cutscene.

L2 and R2 - same deal, though I don't think any other projectile weapons except his pistol would be necessary. Though it would be cool if you could steal weapons though.
 

Boss encounters that have Metal Gear types of escalation. Bosses that include things like him taking on a herd of Gekkos, Waves of infantry + military vehicles - I'm thinking strikers that try to run you over while you dodge it using the game's simple to use, yet stylishly animated dodge mechanics), helicopters etc.

The game is already graphically impressive so no doubts that'll continue. 

I think the big draw for me though personally would have to be animations being smooth seamless ala Uncharted 2, and givng the player great maneuvring mechanics not just moving through the game's world, but when fighting enemies, I'd like to be able to see Raiden parry puches as well as ducking, weaving, rolling away etc.. The best example I can think of is Arkham Asylum but with that Uncharted smoothness in the animations.

But that's me.

That sounds very cool albeit different

makes you wonder if Castlevania could be similiar 

actionwise

Well my fear of Rising has just been verified, right from the mouth of a developer.

This is going to be stuck right into the canon of MGS, yet still they are not too worried about story as such as an "important" element. It worried me the moment the first thing I saw was just Raiden running around cutting things, instead of what always has been the first footage, story, however vague.

I kindof say, without story, what's the fu-cking point. it's Metal Gear. This is one of my most cherished series, the plots however complex make sense even after all these years, I can just see this young team, messing with continuity, and doing strange things with the tapestry that is MGS. All in the name of creating a action game for the twitch crowd. They should have the decency to at least take Metal Gear Solid off the title.

Peace Walker on the other hand. Is absolutely brilliant. If it is the last true Metal Gear game we get, it is a fitting one. It truely is worthy of being Metal Gear Solid 5.

i always look forward to a new metal gear and i'll be happy to eventually play this even if i'll be disapointed in the end. one thing that i see as a plus is using the move controller for sword play. i didn't think of ps move the first time i saw the trailer and thought "oh noes" but this could be the action game in which i'll want to use the move controller.
also i watch an ign clip the other day and they said there was confirmation you could complete the game without killing anyone so im still counting on lots of stealth in game.

im really looking forward to it i'm playing MGS4 atm

New trailer was revealed by Hideo Kojima at the VGAs a few hours ago, check it out HERE.

Gotta say, it looks amazing; very different from other MGS titles, but still amazing.

it's definately nothing like the SOLID series, very fast paced and by the looks very little stealth. then again all of the cyborg ninja bits in the mgs games have been more about action and less about hiding under a cardboard box. will be interesting to see some gameplay footage and hear the sounds and music rather than some crazy acid thrash death trance music backing against this trailer.
this could be a hire rather than a purchase. =(
