Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metal Gear Solid: Rising to be a series

Producer tells Japanese magazine that Rising is not a "side story" in the MGS universe; plans for at least two games with Raiden.

 

When Hideo Kojima unveiled the latest trailer for Konami's highly-anticipated Metal Gear Solid: Rising during this year's E3, many were left hungry for more. Besides a few sparse details about the game's "zan-datsu" principle (meaning "cut and take") and a brief outline of its gameplay mechanics, Konami revealed little else.

 

Now, Japanese gaming news site adriasang is reporting that Metal Gear Solid: Rising producer Shigenobu Matsuyama told a Japanese gaming magazine that the intention is to make more than one game featuring the cyborg ninja Raiden.

 

"MGS Rising is not a side story. We're aiming for two Metal Gear Solids, making a series out of another standard," Matsuyama told Enterbrain's Midnight Live 360 web broadcast last week.

 

Matsuyama was also asked why Raiden was chosen as the protagonist in the new title, to which he replied that Raiden's blade made him the perfect hero for a game where players could slice anything they wanted.

 

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is due for release later this year on the PC, PS3, and the Xbox 360.

 

Can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 3DS...

then this game doesn't deserve the MGS name since LONG cutscenes are a hallmark for the series.

It depends on the user I guess.....my hallmark of the series is the great stealth gameplay and wacky storyline

plus Solid Snake is one of my fav characters

Well lets hope they kind find a happy medium between gameplay and painfully long cutscenes.
