Raiden can perform one-button stealth kills on some enemies from behind and from above if he has not been detected.

There are staples of gameplay from previous Metal Gear Solid titles, like the Soliton Radar and alert systems. Platinum used their own engine to make it into a more action-oriented title, but Kojima's team at FOX Studios still held control over story and cutscene elements.Īn interview with series creator Hideo Kojima confirmed that the game is considered a spin-off that is 'not part of the Metal Gear Solid series', although it is considered part of the same universe, and thus 'canon'. It was announced on the Kojima Productions Report that the game will utilize a different engine than the one used in Guns of the Patriots.Īfter having trouble combining the traditional stealth gameplay of the MGS series with the Raiden's swordplay, Kojima cancelled the project, but later revived it with Platinum Games as the main development studio. During production of this game, Kojima was busy writing and directing the PSP side story, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Kojima had initially said that the game would be created by some of his younger Metal Gear team staff.

Originally, Hideo Kojima was supposed to produce the game, but unlike most other titles in the mainline Metal Gear series he would not take on the role of director. The protagonist of Rising is Raiden, formerly the main protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and a supporting character in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is an action game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC set after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
