Hideo Kojima was hanging around Twitter after his press conference today to talk a little bit more about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and the future of the franchise. Kojima clarified that Metal Gear Rising was always intended to be a spin-off series and intimated that their original vision is not too far off from where Platinum Games is now taking it.
More importantly, Kojima asked that fans who want an "authentic stealth MGS" to patiently wait for "the sequel coming in the future." So, it's not exactly confirmation of Metal Gear Solid 5 per se, but it is a confirmation of a new Metal Gear Solid title. Take that as you will.

It's basically Peace Walker with Snake Eater's dialog!
ARRRGH
As for a "real" entry into the series, eh I love the series but I wish Kojima would use his talent for other projects, whether it be a new zone of the ender's or a whole new IP (preferably the latter).
Snake's Inferno confirmed!
"Tactical Espionage Action" purist are cry babies, non-story at 11.
Yes, how dare Rising taint the precious Diarrhea gags, Magic Ravens, Ghost Bosses, 4th Wall Breaking Psychics, Breakdancing with Geckos and Battleship Stopping Ninja Canon with... Sword Fights!
I believe that would be "Metal Gear"
Though it's not unlike video game creators to cram a game into a time frame at which no story needs to be told.
It all has to do with the character you control, while Snake is far from normal, he was almost real and grounded in his own right. Look at the trailer for Rising and you see Raiden handling a Rex as it was nothing. It's not so much me being a purest, but just the fact that it's not metal gear.
Originally they stated that the game was going to be action oriented with a bit of stealth, guess what my thoughts on that was, I was excited, a badass stalking around with a deadly blow, it really got me excited, and the E3 trailer looked pretty dam awesome, this time however everything looks too platinumish, and maybe that's my problem with it all, it's that there using the name for a platinum game.
I actually embrace the over the top themes of metal gear, and I actually love the series more than I should because of it, but this time I'm left with a sour feeling, in other words they simply went to far. Like I said, make it non canon and I will fully welcome the game.

Anybody who was expecting Cyborg Raiden to sneak around is an idiot. What's wrong with something different?
(In a David Tennant voice)
Kojima you could do so much more!
You mean THIS Raiden?

The problem is the setting. It made sense that you'd go batshit crazy with Raiden if it was set when he just turned into a cyborg. MGS4 wrapped everything up for EVERYONE, and now the story of Revengence has been moved to AFTER that game, which makes no sense at all.
I don't think anyone's been complaining about the gameplay (besides the dumbed-down cutting mechanic). It's all about the story.
Overall I stand by what I say, things went to far, gameplay wise and when it came to Raiden flipping over a Rex, stunts wise.
I also agree with pedrovay, things while not perfect, were settled, now we get this. If anything they should have stayed with the original plot line and stuck to it being set before 4. Anyway there's one to many factors that make me not pleased as to why this is a canon related entry, specifically it taking place after 4. At this point, after unleashing my thoughts on the matter, I just hope for a good game.
Babies the lot of ya
You get all uptight about Raiden tossing a Metal Gear Ray into the air but are willing to overlook:
- Raiden took down an army or Rays with stinger missiles
- Raiden cutting Gekkos down to sise
- Raiden surviving multiple stabs, even impaling himself
- Fending off a small army with no arms and a sword in his teeth.
Obviously, by tossing a Ray into the air we have truly gone beyond the "realism" Metal gear Soild strived so hard to maintain. You know, what with the psychic bosses, a guy that can turn a swarm of bees into anything, pyromanic astronauts and a revolver-toting Russian who becomes another villain entirely by grafting on a dead man's arm.
Nope, throwing around mechs is just going too far.
What will you complain about next, giving a demon hunter black hair and making a hedgehog's eyes green?
Oh wait, you have.
You really stretched yourself to bring up some comparisons. None of what you said compares to tossing a ray around. Yes there were certain anime prone elements to raiden, but this takes ghost in the shell type anime and turns it up to 11 with Dragon ball z type anime.
You're all just mad Kojima didn't think of it.
You were saying?
Yes, Metal Gear is great but has always had some problems. The ninjas have always been one of the worst parts of the game (Fox stopping the Metal Gear from crushing him?)... at least most of them have had something redeeming.
Raiden though? Raiden has never been good. I have never liked the character (would have skipped MGS2 if I knew he was the real protagonist). The only scenes I enjoyed with him are the ones where he might die. He is one of the worst parts of the game.
Now they're just making him worse.
Responding to your first post here, I don't want Rising to be non-canon, that personally gives me no reason to buy it. I want to see where the story heads next, not get a what if game. This is why I never fell for games like Ac!d or even Ghost Babel (even though it was a decent game).
The removal of "Solid" and "Tactical Espionage Action" (even though there were 2 canon games that did not use that) is enough for me to completely forgive this for not being stealthy.
Now that last post:
They clearly state in the trailer that the new cyborgs have unbelievable strength, I don't think this is too big of a departure from when he played around with the GEKKO's in MGS4, mix that with this new, story explained, strength and it's all fine.
I understand your disappointment however, I just wish people would wait for at least some big details before jumping on it. The trailer was over-the-top, yes, but partly the reason for this is probably because it appeared on the VGA's where everything needs to be loud and obnoxious. Kojima is still handling the story and dialogue from what I understand so that should rename intact.
If i want to play a game like Bayonetta, i'll play Bayonetta, or the DMC HD collection, or Castlevania LOS...
"Did you see the new episode yesterday morning? Bob the Builder made friends with a car....we all know cars dont work in construction...i hope this is non-canon because I'll stop watching this shit otherwise." -Complete Moron
It's already been said that KP are doing the story, so I'd think that the game is still going to carry the vibe of the rest of the series as far as story goes.
Either way, I'm not really worried about it. We have the original people doing the story and we have Platinum games who are pretty savvy with action games. Of course that's just a matter of opinion, but some of the things people are criticizing the game for.. as always are things we don't know or people complaining about how over the top it looks when the series it self has it's own over the top moments.
>Not like Solid.
>isn't even out yet.
>TRAVESTY!
.. O-kaaaaay.
I guess the story setting should be between metal gear s 2 and metal gear s 4 then. Al lot of empty story between that, and now they can put teh raiden story in MGS5 as well as snake.
Brilliant!
"This will be the last Metal Gear Solid that I will make......Until I make the next one."
*troll grin*
I am hoping for a ZOE sequel, too.
