Hideo Kojima Explains The Metal Gear Rising Development Process
In a new video entitled “The Truth Behind RISING,” Hideo Kojima helps explain the full story behind the development of Metal Gear Rising. The game was officially canceled in late 2010, but before the cancellation decision was made Kojima considered bringing in some Western developers. If you’ve been keeping tabs on the game you’ll know that Platinum has now taken the role as lead developer. Kojima likes the idea, especially since Rising is a ninja game.
The documentary was put together for the sole purpose of helping players understand why the decisions were made that the company went with. The whole video is 25 minutes long, so it would be best to make sure you can set aside some time to watch it. For fans of the Metal Gear series, this is not something you’ll want to skip out on.
I’m not a big fan of Rising’s changed storyline, but I’m willing to give it a shot. It looks like Platinum is as excited to work on it as Kojima is to have them, which shows some promise. Check out the documentary below to see what both Konami and Platinum are both bringing to the table with this new Metal Gear game.
