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?

I'm a bit scared of what is going on with the Metal Gear franchise (why milking it suddenly?)... I just hope I won't be disappointed with what we're going to see in the next coming months.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

i think a lot of people actually are interested in raiden and what happened to him, i still have to finish mgs4, but peace walker does seem pretty cool, the psp could always use more AAA games like metal gear, i am still skeptical to be sure of rising because it seems to be there just to please xbox fans who want to see metal gear on 360 by konami, i gather that by the fact that kojima seems to want everyone to know that he is only mainly involved with peace walker

As long as Kojima is working on this lightning bolt action title, I'll be happy. ;)

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.

I want to play as Raiden but I still hope their a stealth gameplay from it not just your ordinary hack n slash.

I could be way off the mark, but I think Kojima made his stance clear with MGS4. Who knows, mabey there was some kind of Sony payoff. Assuming there was not, he is making his stance clear again by giving Sony another exclusive with Snake, at the same time, making Microsoft and Konami happy by giving a Metal Gear "Solid" game to the X-Box 360.
