Well no because Metal Gear Solid replaces and adds onto the original Metal Gear Games. If they continued making Metal Gear games, then MGS would be a different series, but they don't. Metal Gear Solid continues on what Metal Gear started, and expands on it.

Metal Gear Solid is to Metal Gear, what Super Mario 3D Platformers are to Super Mario Bros. It's the same series.

You yourself are admitting this in the bold when you say Metal Gear Rising will be its own series (to me it already is it's own game).

As for your example on Resident Evil, Code Veronica is technically a main series game, but it's not a main entry. You can skip Resident Evil CV and not be missing out on any story from RE 0-6. The events in CV are an isolated event. I haven't played Revelations yet, but I think it's the same. This would be similar to RE: Dead Aim, except the characters in CV appear in other RE games.

So like Rising, CV is not a main Resident Evil game. When they eventually do release a MGS6, the events in MGR will have little weight to the story, if any.

 

I'm tired of explaining this already, so I'll try to be clear using your same arguments.

Metal Gear Solid continues on what Metal Gear started and expands it? Well, Metal Gear Rising CONTINUES on what Metal Gear Solid did and expands it too.

Metal Gear Rising will be its own series, the same way Metal Gear Solid went and become a series of its own. The same way Metal Gear became two games.

When they eventually do a release of MGS5 (MGS5 I suposse, not MGS6 =P), they'll expand more the Metal Gear Solid saga, but mind you, it is a prequel featuring Big Boss. So no, the weight to the story of Metal Gear Solid will be little, as it will explain events that we already know. Yet Rising is build upon the closure of Metal Gear Solid 4 and carries on the Metal Gear saga story.

I'm tired of explaining this to you :P

When Metal Gear became Metal Gear Solid, they stopped selling Metal Gear Games and sold all the games in the series as Metal Gear Solid. After Metal Gear Rising releases, are you saying all Metal Gear Games will be called Metal Gear Rising? NO!

You yourself keep saying it will be it's own series.

If it's its own series....then how can it be a part of a different series?

Yes the plot in MGR affects the MGS plot, but not too heavily. It's the same as Halo Wars, yea it covers the plot in Halo, but there is no Master Cheif in the game, and you don't need to play this game to understand Halo.


LOL

You agree with me and you don't even realize it. MGR will build upon the closure of MGS where future Metal Gear Solids will continue to focus on Snake and the MGS arch. :P

Okay here is an analogy you can understand. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island features Yoshi as a playable character right? However that's still a mario game right? So is Yoshi's Story for N64 and the upcoming Yoshi Yarn still a Mario game, or a Yoshi game? It's related to Mario yes, but it's not Mario it's it's own series.
