I dont know what to make of this...

[Scarlett.]

It's different, but thats why its Metal Gear Rising not Metal Gear Solid

[Samuel.]

Platinum Games Perfect developers for Rising.

Though I'm less than convinced by those gameplay clips...

[Ramsay]

Yeah thats what i told my brother too
Its Metal Gear not Metal Gear Solid
But meeehhhh it just screams typical japanese type game to me
Appearantly too they are focusing less on story telling which is a major bummer

[Scarlett.]

I reckon there will still be Metal Gear hallmarks there, the slicing of a Metal Gear Ray is a little OTT though xD

The newly Platinum-plated Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance features a story different from the one planned for the old Metal Gear Solid: Rising. While the game was originally intended to take place between Metal Gear Solids 2 and 4, the setting has now been transfarred to a time years after MGS4. This was done in order to let Platinum "show off what they can bring to the series." Without creating a time paradox and accidentally undoing the events of MGS4, we suppose.

Raiden joins up with private military companies for various jobs including "VIP protection, military training and other duties" as an unspecified country rebuilds from a civil war. "Little does he know that the stage is set for a clash with an enigmatic force of countless cyborgs."

This information comes via the official site, which is also the source for the new screens in our gallery. The site provides a detailed listing of staff for the title, including Platinum's Atsushi Inaba (the guy on stage with Kojima) as producer alongside Konami's Yuji Korekado. It could stand to be more detailed, as there's no game director listed.

Konami still has some revealing to do: the site claims that a video interview titled "The Truth Behind RISING" will explain the genesis of the Platinum/Kojipro collaboration, on December 13.

By the way, the site lists only PS3 and Xbox 360 releases -- no PC.

Thats bull****
I really wanted it to be between 2 and 4 so it would show how Raiden became the ninja
But didnt Raiden stop being the ninja at the end of 4? been years since i played it so i might be wrong

[Scarlett.]

I'm guessing something happened since then, hence the "Revengance" subtitle

[Scarlett.]

Konami have released a website for all kinds of Metal Gear games (Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear Rising) =D

Not what I was expecting, but it makes sense. TBH, I have a tough time getting into having to slash someone a dozen times with a High Frequency Blade, but I know it wouldn't be much of a challenge if you could kill people in one swing. I guess I'd rather have challenging sword fights than need to slash someone over and over? But then that would just make Raiden seem only slightly more skillful.

Looks alot like Devil May Cry

Platinum Games can do no wrong but I just don't care for the look of this at all. Raiden's story was perfectly tied up in MGS4 and this just feels needless.

Just started playing this, got it via PS+ a few months back
