Confirmed! MGS Rising is an offshoot

It does look like the PSP game will have more direct involvement from Kojima and MGS:Rising is seemingly more spin-offish then Peace Walker, but that's not a bad thing.

Unless of course Rising ends up sucking, that would be a bad thing. But I very highly doubt it

No offense to Snake, but after MGS4 I'm so prepped to play a game with Raiden.
