MGS Rising takes place before MGS4, because one of the screenshots in Rising shows Crying Wolf. |

The game's title was changed to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to reflect that it isn't part of the main Metal Gear Solid seris, but is instead a spinoff that takes place after Metal Gear Solid 4.
"We've only said that the period setting is several years after MGS4. Metal Gear Rising is not part of the Metal Gear Solid series. At present, we can't say more than this," Kojima posted on Twitter.
EDIT: From Wiki-
"The game was originally announced during 2009 as Metal Gear Solid: Rising (メタルギアソリッドライジング Metaru Gia Soriddo Raijingu), an interquel set between the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots following Raiden's transformation into a cyborg produced solely by Kojima Productions.[12][13] As the game was about to be cancelled due to difficulties in developing it, it was reannounced in late 2011 that Platinum Games would develop the game as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, removing the stealth elements to be used in the original game. The game's setting has since been changed to give the Platinum staff more freedom in the making of the game. Nevertheless, the Kojima Productions staff is responsible for the game's plot and characters' designs.[14]"
