I know people give the Gekko a bad rap because of the mooing and stuff. But if you think about it, it's actually genius and terrifying. They're in the middle-east technically, so bovine are pretty much everywhere. That'll start to screw with you after a while. Walking down a street and suddenly you hear mooing. Is it a cow? Or is it a Gekko? The cicada noise is particularly terrifying, considering they make that sound mainly at night. So you're out on patrol and you hear cicadas because IT'S DARK. Suddenly your buddy gets his brains mushed in. Not a fun time.
Damn i've watched these cutscenes more than 20 times and they're still as mindblowing as ever. MGS4 destroys any games for these new "Next gen consoles"
In universe wise, Raiden would find it practically impossible to actually land that type of slash. Most of the attacks that he hits are either quick stabs, or traded hits with Vamp. Raidens goal isn't to kill him, rather to tire him enough to cause him to pass out. As well I am pretty sure it's implied Camp has a healing factor, once a foreign object is pushed out he heals up the lost tissue, with the exception of scaring for certain wounds.
@@yermein4670 I mean it is how it went with his story. from suppressing his past to embracing it. unleashing the Ripper onto his foes. It's been a while since I played any of the games so the detail could be off.
Geckos are really terrifying if you think about it. The fact that they bleed, combined with their appearance and design, it's just something from a sci-fi horror movie.
Dr. Scarlet there are lots of quick time events Raiden does with gekkos in MGR right here, like the one with the tires and when he pass through the middle of Gekko's legs in an Arc movement
Platinum saw Raiden throw Gekkos with his legs by breakdancing and said "Pffft, watch this." Cut to MGR:R with Raiden giving torque and physics a fat L as he throws a Metal Gear RAY. By the blade. IN THE GODDAMN PROLOGUE. I love Metal Gear in general but I especially love that game :V So much over-the-top fun

MGS 2: *Raiden Is playable* Fans: Nooo, We Want Snake to be a player character MGS4: *Raiden is Not playable* Fans: Oh Come On MGR: *RAIDEN IS THE MAIN CHARACTER* Fans: FINALLY
It just dawned on me When Vamp is dragging his knife across Raiden's chest, he stabs him on both sides where a heart could be. Cause in MGS2 Fortune's heart was Born on the opposite side. Vamp not knowing Raiden's body is now a synthetic replacement from his lower jaw and down, it's interesting to now notice such a small tip of the hat to a detail from games ago.
Eh... this is probably the most insecure and troubled version of Raiden as well. He had a lot of inner demons here. He basically relinquished himself to war, totally and completely. It made him interesting and humanized his character. Kojima himself probably doesn't realize what a save this was. Raiden was hated by nearly everyone when he was first revealed in MGS2.
They make this sound to bait soldiers and play with their empathy. Same for this fake red blood. You take this machine for an animal so it's more hard for a soldier to shoot it

Im sorry but that part got me out of the scene. I have nothing against sci fi as long as it respects its own rules and here apparently laws of physic should be the same as in our real world. Its hard to believe he is just swinging around 3000kg robots with his legs when he weights... 80 kg?
@@orlandocarrillo7132 Did you miss the part where Raiden - deflects machine gun fire from multiple guns at once to cut away a Metal Gear RAY's armor at speeds impossible for the human eye to follow - parries the Metal Gear RAY's skyscraper-size Heat Blade with what is in essence a technologically enhanced katana - literally throws the same RAY hundreds of feet into the air - jumps onto the RAY while it's in midair - slices both the giant blade and the right wing of the RAY into several pieces - cuts through more of its armor at speeds impossible to follow when it retaliates - leaps off of dozens of missiles fired by the RAY to chase it down once it retreats - again slashing through armor at impossible to follow speed to cut off its other wing in one slash - getting thrown into a (concrete, I assume) clock tower hard enough to put a crater into it only to shake it off like tripping over a jump rope - *literally running vertically down the tower while dodging missiles to cut the rest of the Gear in half* Like yeah, I know all this happens _after_ MGS4 but my point is that you're sorely underestimating the power of cyborg bodies here
@@novidas1613 its not about the power of the Cyborgs body. Its about the laws of physics that are valid in MGS4. Apparently are the same laws of physics that we have here in our world. He can be as strong as you want, but that break dancing with 10 ton attached to his feet, should not be possible even in MGS4 world. Its not coherent. And as I said, it has nothing to do with power.
Darkhound probably because the majority of nudity in media is portraying a woman, I think they wouldn't rage if we saw some more naked dudes in movies and tv. I'm a straight dude, and even I find it strange how few male oriented nudity there is in media. I dont so much believe in the whole "They pressure us to obtain an impossible physique" bullshit, because one glance at any kind of shaving commercial, beer commercial, cologne, underwear, etc etc etc shows shirtless dudes that have unnaturally impossible to obtain six packs and biceps. But I guess body acceptance just applies to fat bitches.
Good for you, since most people hated Raiden in MGS2 (Feel free to flame me now). Raiden sure got more interesting in MGS4 and MGSR. All it took to make him badass was a cyborg body, a katana, a more masculine face, different hair ( admit it, long sleek blonde hair does not work on a male, most of the time ) and a total change of personality. So in short, the raiden most people enjoy in MGS4 and MGSR have pretty much nothing in common with the raiden in MGS2, except for his name and some background story. Woo, good character design 101.
Same here man, i liked Raiden in MGS2 and i still like him, i don't know why people hated Raiden back in MGS2, maybe because he replaced Snake as the playable character? at first i was pissed off too, but i ended up liking Raiden as a character almost as much as Solid Snake but Snake is still my favorite character.
o27001 I think it was not just how Raiden replaced Snake as a playable character but how the character was presented as, let me see if I can put this the right way, some awkward pretty boy that was out of place in Metal Gear Solid. Raiden was really a hit or miss kind of character for most people.
(6:08) Raiden: "I am so glad the Patriots have Break-dancing indoctrinated into their training." (7:16)Raiden: "I am so glad the Patriots have a tap dancing Program." (7:53) Raiden: "Dammit! Why don't the Patriots have a Ballet training Doctrine?"
+HorrorLover98 Well, to be fair, I guess some people would say there is little difference between the two, especially when the opponents are masters at their style. But come on, Raiden's got that epic body! He ought to show off what it can do! Although I cannot defend what Vamp was doing at 6:12. Perhaps he was dancing there from being so overwhelmed by how awesome that was?
No. The first time you saw this you creamed in your shorts and shit your tighty whities. Be honest. This was the coolest thing you had ever saw up to that point and immediately afterwards looked into having your name legally changed to Raiden Lightning-Bolt Action. You know it. I know it. They all know it. Hell, this scene is the reason you joined ballet and took it more seriously than many of the 7-10 year old girls you attended classes with.
This will always be one of the most badass Metal Gear moments, regardless of what you think of Guns of the Patriots. I love how it seems like they are dancing with each other.
The windmill to 90 combo while smashing those machines was amazing. Great choreography. Then the flare on the sword. Awesome - from a breakdancer who has never played a Metal Gear game in his life lol. Senator Armstrong brought me here.
It's crazy how well Platinum did with Revengance. The moves you can only watch Raiden do in this cutscene of MGS4 are not only do-able but are much more impressive in Rising.
playing MGS4 "oh wow hes making it look so easy" after playing MGR: Revengeance "hes making it look so hard, he could have killed them much faster than this"
If you didn't know about it, Vamp's movements are based on Joaquín Cortés, a Spanish flamenco dancer. Those turns he does on top of Raiden are very common in flamenco.
This is the kind of Raiden I wanted to play as in MGR but didn't get. IMO MGR Raiden was too over the top and too strong. I would have liked the game to have had this Raiden and some actual strategy to take down enemies.
That was how it was before the reigns were passed onto Platinum games. Personally, I would have preferred the original build but I'm happy with what we got.
like, how is that even intimidating? Giant robot about to annihilate you with lasers rockets and crush you "moooooo".... I'd get killed but I'd laugh and point while I get shot at.
Not sure if you know this, but Gekkos, along with the UGs that would be developed later in the timeline, have a neuro-matrix that allows them to learn from mistakes made, which in turn makes them act more like living things than simple machines.
I think it's pretty cool how they gave Raiden's cyborg body a sense of weight in the animation. Like, when he lands from the rooftop, it feels super heavy, like that body low-key weighs a ton or something. This fighting sequence between Raiden and Vamp is fucking amazing. Kojima really turned it up when it comes to Cyborg Ninja fighting sequences >^

We just gonna ignore how Raiden just kinda breakdances to throw some Gekko's around?
That's the only part I explain to people who haven't seen it.
Im sorry but that part got me out of the scene. I have nothing against sci fi as long as it respects its own rules and here apparently laws of physic should be the same as in our real world. Its hard to believe he is just swinging around 3000kg robots with his legs when he weights... 80 kg?
@@orlandocarrillo7132 Did you miss the part where Raiden
- deflects machine gun fire from multiple guns at once to cut away a Metal Gear RAY's armor at speeds impossible for the human eye to follow
- parries the Metal Gear RAY's skyscraper-size Heat Blade with what is in essence a technologically enhanced katana
- literally throws the same RAY hundreds of feet into the air
- jumps onto the RAY while it's in midair
- slices both the giant blade and the right wing of the RAY into several pieces
- cuts through more of its armor at speeds impossible to follow when it retaliates
- leaps off of dozens of missiles fired by the RAY to chase it down once it retreats
- again slashing through armor at impossible to follow speed to cut off its other wing in one slash
- getting thrown into a (concrete, I assume) clock tower hard enough to put a crater into it only to shake it off like tripping over a jump rope
- *literally running vertically down the tower while dodging missiles to cut the rest of the Gear in half*
Like yeah, I know all this happens _after_ MGS4 but my point is that you're sorely underestimating the power of cyborg bodies here
@@novidas1613 its not about the power of the Cyborgs body. Its about the laws of physics that are valid in MGS4. Apparently are the same laws of physics that we have here in our world. He can be as strong as you want, but that break dancing with 10 ton attached to his feet, should not be possible even in MGS4 world. Its not coherent. And as I said, it has nothing to do with power.
Everybody's gangsta until Raiden breakdances.
5:10 Proof Kojima is way ahead of his time, we had Morbin' time before we even knew it was a thing.
Wait, people complain about the lewdness of Quiet's outfit. But here we see Raiden completely fucking naked.
+garfoonga1 ..Where is he completely naked?
well i mean, if we are going to be completley honest, not right now but in mgs2 he did go streaking
+wolvez28 Ugh, I remember. That was a bad time for me to show up with his equipment.
+Dimitris Kokkaliaroglou Poor you. I guess that's why some of the people ship you and Raiden...All because of that!

probably because the majority of nudity in media is portraying a woman, I think they wouldn't rage if we saw some more naked dudes in movies and tv. I'm a straight dude, and even I find it strange how few male oriented nudity there is in media. I dont so much believe in the whole "They pressure us to obtain an impossible physique" bullshit, because one glance at any kind of shaving commercial, beer commercial, cologne, underwear, etc etc etc shows shirtless dudes that have unnaturally impossible to obtain six packs and biceps. But I guess body acceptance just applies to fat bitches.
i don't care what anyone says. I like Raiden. I like MGS2. I like that cyborg ninja shit
Good for you, since most people hated Raiden in MGS2 (Feel free to flame me now).
Raiden sure got more interesting in MGS4 and MGSR. All it took to make him badass was a cyborg body, a katana, a more masculine face, different hair ( admit it, long sleek blonde hair does not work on a male, most of the time ) and a total change of personality.
So in short, the raiden most people enjoy in MGS4 and MGSR have pretty much nothing in common with the raiden in MGS2, except for his name and some background story. Woo, good character design 101.
Mavis Yeah I would say Raiden took a huge level in badass compared to how he was in Metal Gear Solid 2.
Same here man, i liked Raiden in MGS2 and i still like him, i don't know why people hated Raiden back in MGS2, maybe because he replaced Snake as the playable character? at first i was pissed off too, but i ended up liking Raiden as a character almost as much as Solid Snake but Snake is still my favorite character.
o27001 I think it was not just how Raiden replaced Snake as a playable character but how the character was presented as, let me see if I can put this the right way, some awkward pretty boy that was out of place in Metal Gear Solid. Raiden was really a hit or miss kind of character for most people.
Mavis just no
So many people mention Raiden's heels, but nobody mentions his nails like daaaaaaamn

First time I saw this I was like is this a fight or a dance off?
+HorrorLover98 Well, to be fair, I guess some people would say there is little difference between the two, especially when the opponents are masters at their style.
But come on, Raiden's got that epic body! He ought to show off what it can do! Although I cannot defend what Vamp was doing at 6:12. Perhaps he was dancing there from being so overwhelmed by how awesome that was?
No. The first time you saw this you creamed in your shorts and shit your tighty whities. Be honest. This was the coolest thing you had ever saw up to that point and immediately afterwards looked into having your name legally changed to Raiden Lightning-Bolt Action.
You know it. I know it. They all know it.
Hell, this scene is the reason you joined ballet and took it more seriously than many of the 7-10 year old girls you attended classes with.
+DOOMED ! Well don't get me wrong, Raiden was bad ass, but still.
+HorrorLover98 Or?
+HorrorLover98 The real question is do *they* know if it's a fight or a dance off?
This will always be one of the most badass Metal Gear moments, regardless of what you think of Guns of the Patriots. I love how it seems like they are dancing with each other.
I can imagine the fight between Raiden in his upgraded Revengence body vs Vamp. He would be turned to ground beef.

Its increadible how all versions of Raiden look extremely badass even when the next one will always make the previous one look like shit in comparison
while that is true, in my opinion MGS4 Raiden will forever be the best Raiden

It's crazy how well Platinum did with Revengance. The moves you can only watch Raiden do in this cutscene of MGS4 are not only do-able but are much more impressive in Rising.
They arent doable in mgr though

The Dancer of The Boreal Valley from Dark Souls 3 ain't got shit on Raiden and Vamp. Matter of fact, all three of them need to have a dance off.
lol
raiden would win, he does ballet (when duel wielding his sword and knife) spins on the ground with his legs, and jumps on top from place to place
Dance till you hollow
Anyone new to MGS would probably think this was a battle between Genji and Dio Brando's European cousin.
that's exactly what i thought
lol damn spot on
Lewidion CRYING
i mean that is what it is, right
Vamp still looks a bit like Hanzo though
playing MGS4 "oh wow hes making it look so easy"
after playing MGR: Revengeance "hes making it look so hard, he could have killed them much faster than this"
Doesn't MGS4 take place before MGR. And we know how Jack v Sam turn out.
MGR takes place a few years after MGS4, Raiden takes up a job at a PMC and thats how MGR starts.
@@Wawza14Gameplays MGS4 takes place on 2014, MGR takes place on 2020

If you didn't know about it, Vamp's movements are based on Joaquín Cortés, a Spanish flamenco dancer. Those turns he does on top of Raiden are very common in flamenco.

Actually that's more at 9:15. Raiden does this against RAY in Metal Gear Rising with wiping the blade on his arm bit
I love how even with a basic cyborg body Raiden can still do all of the cool shit he does in MGR
\Enthusiasm/ heck if you coffed up the dlc money you could keep doing the awesome things in MGR with his basic body -chuckles-
This is the kind of Raiden I wanted to play as in MGR but didn't get. IMO MGR Raiden was too over the top and too strong. I would have liked the game to have had this Raiden and some actual strategy to take down enemies.
the original vision of MGR was precisely that however. It was really different.
That was how it was before the reigns were passed onto Platinum games. Personally, I would have preferred the original build but I'm happy with what we got.
the graphics difference doe , the orginal is the beast compare to mgr
still can't get over mooing robots no matter how many times i play this game.
I still don't get it, oh Japan.
like, how is that even intimidating?
Giant robot about to annihilate you with lasers rockets and crush you "moooooo"....
I'd get killed but I'd laugh and point while I get shot at.
i really thought i was the only one.
Not sure if you know this, but Gekkos, along with the UGs that would be developed later in the timeline, have a neuro-matrix that allows them to learn from mistakes made, which in turn makes them act more like living things than simple machines.
And they pick a fucking moo, really? Learn from their mistakes my ass.
5:39
Snake: ew wtf brouh
"Did I spot some GAY in there?"
I think it's pretty cool how they gave Raiden's cyborg body a sense of weight in the animation. Like, when he lands from the rooftop, it feels super heavy, like that body low-key weighs a ton or something. This fighting sequence between Raiden and Vamp is fucking amazing. Kojima really turned it up when it comes to Cyborg Ninja fighting sequences >^
Going back and watching this after playing mgr, it's so neat that a lot of raiden's moves in this cutscene are his combos in rising
Right? so cool
Dio Sama!
And vamp got the headshot wound
6:13 "They're break dance fighting!"
