Metal Gear Rising playable demo at E3 2012

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

No more Hideo and seek.

Eurogamer branded "interesting sequel" Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (once Metal Gear Solid: Rising) will be playable at E3 2012 this summer.

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima said so in a leaked Famitsu interview picked up by Kotaku.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is being made by PlatinumGames - the extremely talented Japanese studio responsible for Vanquish, Bayonetta, MadWorld and, soon, Anarchy Reigns.

PlatinumGames' pedigree stretches back even further when you consider its Clover (Okami, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand) roots.

Revengeance stars cyborg ninja Raiden, who hacks and slashes his through the world of Metal Gear in a style reminiscent of Bayonetta.

Revengeance: what a word.

Platinum was the ideal choice to handle MGR. A game with a cyborg Raiden as a lead character was never going to be subtle - his fight scenes from MGS4 confirmed as much.

A demo on PSN & XBLA would be nice as well.

@Nico4 XBL used to do that. We got playable demos over the 3 or 4 days the show was on. Bring this back MS!

@Lunatic4ever Why? He clearly fights a MG Gekko and MR-Ray, and its from the same MG universe, so why not?

E3 is one of the largest video game shows in North America, and is organized by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The ESA is a staunch supporter of the SOPA and Protect IP legislations, spending over $190,000 dollars to support the controversial legislation. Groups such as the LFG (League For Gamers) have sprung up to offer an alternative to the ESA and it�s subsidiary, the Video Game Voters� Network (VGVN).

Trailer looks gash and did not like Bayonetta or Vanquish. Both were games where i really failed to see what everyone was so excited about.

At least with my expectations significantly lowered i won't be so disappointed.

I am replaying Bayonetta and I love it. Although this and Vanquish, which I thought felt fished and hollow was by the Resident Evil creator, who has now left. Anarchy is in unreleased so I am dubious but hopfull.

@The-Bodybuilder
because it seems like this isn't going to contribute to the metal gear universe positively.
I'm not going to judge the game yet but it is so far away from what Metal Gear represents that it feels wrong.
