The VGA trailer for Metal Gear Rising (note the lack of ‘Solid’) has been leaked, confirming Platinum Games as developer. Previous games by Platinum include Bayonetta and Vanquish.
The trailer was nuked almost immediately, however I’ve seen it and it’s as far from a stereotypical Metal Gear game as you can possibly get. Very Bayonetta-like.
We’ve added some screencaps of the trailer above, to give you a taste of just how sharp Raiden’s blade is. Yes, that’s a Metal Gear he’s slicing through whilst jumping into the air and being terribly fancy. Snake would not be impressed.
It also combines “revenge” and “vengeance” into ‘revengeance’, which is… neat? No doubt we will have the official trailer later on during the VGAs.

Now all they have to do is announce a release date and I’m all set, nice trailer.

Talk about going from massively hyped to totally deflated. Love the Metal Gear series, hate games like Bayonetta, so this is a frankensteins monster of my favourite game series with my least favourite game style (sans sports and racing).
Oh well, will wait and see if it does anything to get me hyped again, right now it’s gone from my “Buy without thinking” to “Wait and see” list

I expected so much more! it seems abit to Bayonettaish for me i will pass on this! even though slicing that guy up into tiny bits did look pretty awesome!

Would rather they kept the full on Metal Gear side of things for Snake or a new protagonist – happy with this having Raiden in the central role. I enjoyed Bayonetta and Vanquish so looking forward to this.
