Most of us out there were solid on Metal Gear Solid Rising when we saw that the subheader was Lightning Bolt Action. Any game that can combine two things so awesome like lightning bolts and action has got to be worth our while. In case you still need more convincing you should also know that Kojima Productions is creating the engine for the game from scratch and is hoping to make it look better than MGS4.
In a recent episode of the Kojima Production's podcast the show's host, Sean Eyestone said, "We're redoing the engine from scratch, and it's going to look amazing. It's going to be a big project like Metal Gear Solid 4. The entire team is serious about making it look as good as possible on every platform."
That team doesn't involve Kojima so much, as he is busy at work on MGS Peacewalker. It is comprised of "young blood," as Eyestone put it and that young blood will be taking the series to a whole new level. Bold claims, but if it does turn out that the team can make a solid MGS title it's good news for Kojima who can finally leave the series for something else.

I guess 360 really can't run MGS4 if they need to make a new engine for the cross platform game
Exactly.The PS3 may be "technically" slightly more powerful,but I have yet to see a PS3 game that would be impossible to run just as good on the 360.Suck it fanboys.As for this new MGS,If they really are going to focus on cyber ninja raiden,I dont think its really fair to call it a full fledged MGS title are going to make this a ninja action game,they need to bring Itagaki in on this.He knows how to make a hardcore action game,plus liqueur and cigarettes cost money and he needs a job.
I would be unhappy-chappy if this was without those two words.
No, because everybody except Kojima has Parkinson's when it comes to making Metal Gear games.
THE FUCKING METAL GEAR ONLINE ONLY DISC YOU PROMISED US!
I don't want to buy MGS4 again, and i certainly don't want that 5GB install on my PS3 but i do want to play Metal Gear Online, i want it so bad.
If you ask me, Sony paid quite a few devs to say that stuff is only possible on the PS3 to cause flame wars. MS paid devs for exclusives. So neither one is not guilty. It's all one big child's argument that causes fights all around the internet.
Also, why are you guys so proud of the 360 and PS3 when neither group of fanboys actually even made the hardware?
