Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

[News Bot]

Game looks fun. Will rent, and perhaps buy if it actually handles well.

[Vito]

The plot and its place in the canon is uncertain at this time. I know they've distanced themselves from the timeline by re-writing the story to take place after MGS4 as opposed to trying to fit it in between MGS2 and MGS4. But that's it so far as the aspects of the plot and characters are still under wraps. So it's hard to say Rising is horrible based on its place in the canon when nothing about the trailer gives the impression that the canon could or could not suffer from it.

It already fucks up the ending for Raiden in MGS4.

Seriously his ending was great, he fought the great fight, survived, got back with Rosemary and meet his son. He promised them he will always be with them, never leaving them alone, to stop running.

Now what do we get in Rising?

LOOKS LIKE ITS TIME FOR JACK TO LET IT RIP!!!

Sorry but NO.. Fuck that.

The game could've worked between MGS2 and MGS4, I'm begging god this shit isn't canon. I really am.

[Mr. Spencer]

I played them!

[Dracarys]

But no one played them.

Actually once Bayonetta hit the bargain bins (which was fast) it got pretty decent sales. Vanquish hit bargain bin and still did badly.

Because they both flashy but mediocre games.

The series was going to continue regardless of MGS4 being Solid Snake's supposed final adventure. Also Kojima hints repeatedly that there's a reason Raiden is the way he is in Rising. We don't know yet. But he seems more "Jack the Ripper" out to "have some fun". He's not and never will be as he was in MGS2. What he ended with changed drastically in MGS4 and that pattern will supposedly shape him once more in the spin off.

Frankly, Raiden had no reason to be in MGS4, Kojima gave him a perfectly good ending in MGS2.

I played them!

Played them and loved them.

Kojima revealed that he is "Dark Raiden", but obviously didn't specify why that's the case.

This. So very much this.

[Rombie]

Guessing from KojiPro's ability to tack on all sorts of things to the canon and the fact they've anchored those crazy videos into both Raiden's past via both his new body and previously as a child solider, and even roped in John Cygan to be Solidus Snake again, I'm guessing it's supposed to be canon (even if that upsets almost everyone). Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[Code_R]

It looks retarded. But so was every game they made after MGS3 so whatever, it doesn't matter any more.

Zone Of The Enders HD Collection Includes Metal Gear Rising Demo

[Smiley]

Decided to embed the video. Definitely has more of a platinum vibe to it in the latest trailer. Very excited to see where this goes.

[Enetirnel]

Done it this way so the video is bigger.

Has some rather interesting stuff in it!

[Mr. Spencer]

Enetirnel, this game has revived Jochem's voice acting career.

[Smiley]

Mega64 trailer ladies and gents.

[BBboy20]

I want akimbo Stinger Missiles. NOW!

[Dark_Chris]

So it is canon after all. >_> Sad, so sad...

[Gambit]

Where is the game being canon confirmed? And why is it "sad?" I would rather Rising take place after MGS4 than between the events of MGS2/4, since canon is bound to be fucked if it's a prequel. This also gives Platinum more freedom to do whatever they want. And besides, you're getting a MGS5, which is dedicated for stealth players and traditional MG fans.

Other than that, oh Depeche Mode. Never thought I'd see you in a Metal Gear related trailer.
