Konami head honcho Hideo Kojima sensationally appeared on stage at the Microsoft E3 presser and announced Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
MGS 2’s Raiden will be the star this time. No Snake.
“The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most highly acclaimed video game franchises of all time,” said Anthony Crouts, vice president of marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment.
“With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Xbox 360 community will finally get a chance to enjoy the action and excitement that this popular franchise is known to offer.”
So, all those rumours of a Metal Gear coming to Xbox 360 were true.
We knew it.
Update: E3 trailer and press release added.
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., announced today that Metal Gear Solid: Rising is currently in development for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft – the first Metal Gear Solid game to launch on the Xbox 360. Raiden, one of the most popular characters in the Metal Gear Solid universe, will star in the all-new title from Hideo Kojima. Raiden first debuted in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty PlayStation2 computer entertainment system as a playable character and appeared as a non-playable cyborg in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system.
“The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most highly acclaimed video game franchises of all time,” said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Xbox 360 community will finally get a chance to enjoy the action and excitement that this popular franchise is known to offer.”

Fucking stunning.
Beats last year by a country mile!

Not really stunning. After last year nothing surprises anymore. The FF announcement caused news like this to loose it’s “wow” factor. Oh well, hopefully we will soon get to see what this game really is.

Good for X360 owners. Keep in mind, it was never announced as “exclusive” so hopefully this will be on PS3 as well.

Except it is.

This is good. It’s an all new direction and stand alone story and moves on from Solid Snake’s legacy. It really hurts the Kojima elitist who said he would never make a game for the XBox 360. I think this proves that fanboyism is only confined to the minds of petty children.

Prepare for something very different, i’m sure this wont be a stealth game but some sort of action game.

You finally get a chance to use that picture of Kojima standing in front of all those Xbox logos LEGITIMATELY and you pass it up?
Anyway, er…. it’s hard to know what to think given the lack of information in that trailer. I like the ’sneak in’ bit at the end of the trailer.

Lol, this was okay, but it was kidn fo expected ONE of the MGS series was going multiplat.
Good conference overall though!

@ Geki:
I’m worried about that. As I only have a 360 but love MGS, I want this to be more of the same, and “sneak in” implies that.
But the games before were metal gear solid “Tactical Espionage Action”
whereas this game is “Lightning Bolt Action”
:/
Gekidami said:
I dont really see why Raiden being a super powered ninja would need to sneak around either really. Unless at some point in the game you play as him whilst he’s normal.
According to IGN its a 360 exclusive.

Kinda turning their back on everyone who bought MGS4…
absolutezero said:
People seem to simply force themselves to forget MGS on PC and the buggy mess that was MGS 2 on the Xbox.
This smells slightly of Ac!d. Which is not really that bad.

u know i never thought i would ever say this but after reading this crap ive honestly lost respect for kojima. the real metal gear fans are ps3 owner not xbox owners the only reason all these 360 queers wanted a metal gear game is so that they can throw it in our faces.substance on the xbox failed nobody cared for it. they know nothing bout metal gear solid and they probably never will beacuse 1,3, & 4 only came out on the playstation. this is worse then having the new halo game come out on the ps3 and not the 360. IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!the metal gear series has always been bout story, this isnt some over rated first person shooter that u can just grab and play online cause u can care less bout the single player campaign. every ps3 owner that owns mgs4 wished they could have play as raiden for even a lil bit and kojima u pull this shit on us? if this doesnt come out on both systems kojima u are going to make alot of xbox owners happy but u will make a lot more ps3 owners disappointed. ps3 and true metal gear fans need this game!!!!!!!!!!!

Get to bed you little scamp.
Razor said:
MGS5 must be coming tomorrow then…there’s simply no way Konami are going to turn on the PS3…we know there’s a PSP version coming.
They’ve invested so much in the PS3 engine to just turn away.
And to be honest, it was a very subdued announcement from MS; not like FFXIII last year. Something is definitely up with this…

hey u absolutezero fagget u writing to me?
absolutezero said:
It must be well past your bedtime Mr you have school tomorrow!
ashers2ashers said:
yeah agrees, with razor. I don’t mind so much as pretty much gonna get a ps3 slim deal with MGS5 in 2 or 3 years time, and will get MGS4 with it then too.
Me and a friend are gonna play MGS:R on my 360 and other MGS on his ps3 together when they come out

Just got confirmation: MGS: Rising AINT a 360 exclusive.
http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696050/Metal-Gear-Solid-Rising-Not-Exclusive-To-360.html
God how I love the pissy fanboys like last year, it’s brillant to watch. But alas, Rising is still coming to PS3 (supposidly)
fearmonkey said:
good come back….really……
absolutezero said:
Is FF13 Versus still a PS3 exclusive?
SplatteredHouse said:
3 mins latelol…
Cort said:
Johnny, in some ways that makes it worse! How dare Kojima announce a new MGS on the Microsoft stage! Whore!
Psychotext said:
Is it half term again?
No_PUDding said:
It’s not actually MGS….
It’s Lightning Bolt Action, if I read correctly!!
xD
Promises to be far more badass!!!
absolutezero said:
I wonder how many Japanese will buy a 360 and sell it the week after for this.
Cort said:
See if you can get a good deal on a second-hand sense of humour, Pyscho. Plenty on the web ready to sell theirs.
Razor said:
Yeah, what the hell is “Lightning Bolt Action”
It’s “Tactical Espionage Action” or nothing
scratchy69 said:
This is basically Zone of the Enders 3 only with Raiden in, right? This isn’t Metal Gear. It’s a fallacy.
