Is complaining about the fact this "isn't Metal Gear Solid" still a thing? I've been hoping that seeing footage of Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain would hopefully untwist the knickers of all those complaining and give Rising the respect it deserved.

I felt exactly the same way.

All of these games, I'm assuming are pre CPS-1 hardware, considering the original article claims they are from the "8-bit era". Strider was one of Capcom's first games on CPS-1 (along with Ghouls n' Ghosts), which was a 16-bit platform.

Well, there's a cowboy on a horse in there, so Gunsmoke. A soldier wearing a helmet, so Commando, and the insect things at the back are from Exed Exes.

Way to make an impact, Kotaku.

It's a huge list.

If you ask me, Saint's Row is just as much of an example of Volition starting something good and then ruining it. Saint's Row The Third is half the game Saints Row 2 was, covered in a shiny coat of paint to hope nobody will notice.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

What we need is someone from the Gawker tech team to have a look at the cimments for people lumping praise on this game.

Is Sergey Titov from the Tim Langdell school of videogame production?

It doesn't matter how many times Sanxion failed to load right at the end of the process, when you had this little gem to listen to while you waited...

If that doesn't give Rockstar North a reason to make a new "GTA: London", I don't know what will.

They missed out the greatest moustache there is.

In fact, the game won a fan-art contest that Capcom held a couple of years ago, I believe.

I'm pretty sure "Sonic" also helped out with some of the custom sprites on Streets of Rage Remake for Bombergames, too.

No, Ground Zeroes isn't MGS5. I think the more important question is: Is MGS5 "Project Ogre", considering the fictitious producer of Moby Dick Studios is Joakim (Kojima) M/ogre/n

Of course it will. It's all nanomachines, remember?

"Did Metal Gear Solid 5 Just Get Secretly Announced?" - Gee... You think?

The first thing I thought was "That's not Axel, Blaze, Adam, Skate, Max, or Zan".
