I recommend the preorder (I've got mine) for this one, it comes with DLC and a nice steelbook.

i can't wait to cut shit up.

First of all, is that Raidens same voice actor? His voice and acting are awful. So cheesy and bad!

Second, what's up with his complete character change? He was never a blood thirst character. He's completely different according to this trailer.

Also, the enemies weren't supposed to be human. Were those cops human or machine? Thought I saw him grab some "cores" out of a few (indicating they weren't human), but wasn't sure.

Te biggest problem in my opinion is the blood color, these cyborgs should have white blood, as it is said in MGS4.

As a long time fan of Metal Gear before it became Metal Gear Solid, who still enjoys the games, I think MGS is the best of the MGS games and Twin Snakes is the better version. MGS 3 is ok, but I don't consider it better than MGS 2. I like it, but MGS is my favorite.

My favourite is MGS too, and I am looking forwards to Rising. I just don't think it'll be able to hold a candle to the main series MGS games.

Are you telling me you take a game with cartoon punctuation above character's heads seriously? A series with a villain that "meows" like a kitty cat to call for backup. A series with long melodramatic rambo-a-like reflections on the meaning of war. A franchise with character names like Solidus Snake, The Sarrow, and a group called the Beauty and the Beast Corps. Do you really consider Metal Gear games to be above B-Grade? Take any game in the series and make it into a movie and it would get panned by critics as incomprehensible schlock. I like schlock, I collect schlock, and MGS is schlock. The difference between MGS and Escape from New York is that fans of the latter know it's a B-Grade and love it for it. Some fans of MGS seem to think that it's the highest form of art there is. As a fan of Metal Gear games I enjoy it for what it is. An over the top, sometimes lol wtf cartoon, sci-fi action thriller with ridicules characters and b-movie settings.

I think Kojima does it on purpose. There's no way a game serious could be as cheesy as Metal Gear by accident. The fact that he took the main character's name from Escape from New York says that Kojima enjoys b-movies so it makes sense that his movie marathon length games would pay homage to that schlock he loves. That same schlock that keeps me coming back to MGS for the same reason I sat in a theater this past weekend and enjoyed eating popcorn and drinking soda while watching Gangster Squad.

So, stop kidding yourself. MGS is not high art. MGR isn't cheesier than MGS, it's just more upfront about it. Enjoy it for what it is, deal with what it means that you like it, and get comfortable with the fact that you, like I do, seem to like games with extra cheese.

I don't think it needs to be or even wants to. It's a spin off. That's why they dropped "Solid" from the title. It shouldn't be judged against MGS games, it is only related to them. MGR is to MGS like Clone Wars is to Star Wars. It's part of the family, but It's its own thing.

Same universe, same timeline (a couple years after MGS4) same judgement. They said it wasnt cannon before and now it is.  If thats the case its not a spin off. 

This does not look good, may buy it when it's £5 a month or 2 after release.
