Raiden vs. Gekko and Vamp Fight Scene 4K ULTRA HD (Metal Gear Solid 4)

The change from Raiden's body to that of a cyborg was one of the best things that could happen to the character in terms of popularity, since thanks to this we have Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

It's actually incredible to see how beautiful the animations are in these cinematics, especially for their time. The choreography and attention to detail is incredible.

Even without the 4K this game still looks amazing considering this was an early PS3 title.

Idk why but MGS4 still feels next gen to me, just has the "feeling"

This is the best thing that happened to Raiden as a character. But the worst to happen realistically. Having your organic body stripped away is awesome and insane.

Something interesting with metal gear lore is that bigger mechs like the geckos and even metal gears in the main series are treated as massive problems and things that aren’t to be messed with without a plan. But as time goes on, warfare advanced and by the time you get to revengance all of these things are practically outdated. Even metal gears. The metal gear ray boss fight in MGR:R is a tutorial and geckos are basic enemies you deal with. Even in universe they’re treated not as serious threats at that point but pretty much just things to use to stall for time

Literally what the fuck was this fight scene. I've never seen any other scene anywhere do the shit they got away with in this. Balancing on the hilt of your sword to breakdance at your opponent with a knife between your toes? Calmly shoving a knife through your own heart to retrieve it from your back? Kicking a sword through the air to deflect incoming projectiles, using that recoil to set up more kicks and keep the sword in the air? A backwards split-jump to evade a vertical sword strike? This is the MOST extra swordfight. Just incredible stuff.

After years, this cut scene still is one of the best cut scene in the game's world.

"You, too...immortal?" "No, I just don't fear death."

MGS games seemed to exceed all the capabilities of the console. I remember seeing this scene and thinking the attention to detail was like nothing ever performed: the animation, choreography, sound fx, additional special fx coupled with the sheer tension created, makes this one of the key moments in gaming history.

That Raiden Vs Vamp fight Choreography was Top Tier even in 2023

break dancing is the ultimate defiance of death.

Now... try imagine my perspective. I have zero knowledge about the lore and the only game I played was Revengence. I have no fucking idea what's going on and I'm loving every second of it

this is one of the best cut-scenes ever made in video game history, such a badass moves

To think vamp was only the first nanomachine doped freak raiden would fight

It’s crazy how raiden straight up gutted himself just to kill vamp, knowing he might die, knowing it might not work, and he did it all completely unflinchingly.

Need this masterpiece on Steam ASAP.

Damn the amount of torment that Raiden had to go for that body change is nightmarish

For me, this is the best Playstation exclusive that I’ve ever player. I was only 14 when I played this game back in 2009 so some of shit that they were saying went over my head. Now that I’m older I can fully understand the whole plot.

4:17 Such an epic line from Raiden, the delivery is just so cool.
