Hasnt everyone wanted a chance to play as the "ninja" every since the original MGS? And no the virtual missions dont count!!! I think its great that they are doing a game starring the ninja character, although i would have always preferred a game based on grey fox. But I am very much looking forward to MGS:Rising and having a chance to get in some high octane swordplay with Raiden.

You don't think that it diverges significantly from the original Metal Gear gameplay though?

Yea it will, but as a gamer and a fan of the series I am prepared for that. If the ninja is the main character you gotta go in with the mindset that its gonna play completely differently because lets face it, the ninja and snake are pretty damn different. Some ppl wont like the change in gameplay but me personally, I see this as fan service. We have wanted to kick ass as the ninja since MGS and now we get our chance.
