![]() The two do battle and Raiden falls, almost completely broken and mangled. Not wanting to be a solider on the battlefield any longer, Raiden now works as private security, escorting a VIP when they are attacked by other cyborg ninjas, namely one called Samuel Rodrigues. Raiden works for the peaceful PMC Maverick Security and has vowed to save lives rather than being the killing machine he was once known to be at a younger age Jack the Ripper. Private Military Companies (PMC’s) are employing more and more cyborg technology as it’s become prevalent since the fall of the Patriots which is causing uneasiness and constant battles to gain more power. Taking place four years after the events from Metal Gear Solid 4, Risings plot focuses on the cyborg ninja Raiden and his fight against Desperado Enterprises, a private military company. I’m not sure how Kojima, Konami, and Platinum Games have done it but they’ve managed to salvage Raiden’s image and he’s no longer on my hate list quite the opposite in fact. This is also when the name was changed to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. This was a big deal, as it game Platinum Games more freedom to develop the game they envisioned but keep correspondence with Kojima Productions to help with the basis. ![]() It seemed that Rising had been passed off to Platinum Games (known best for Bayonetta, Vanquish,and Mad World) to take the reins of development. After realizing that they were unable to make the game they wanted based on the swordplay mechanic it was quietly cancelled, but in 2011 something unexpected happened. Four years ago when Rising was announced it was intended to bridge the gap between Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4 (3 was a prequel) and by Hideo Kojima himself. Going from a character that we loved to hate, to a bad ass cyborg ninja, it seems Raiden was finally star in his own game once Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (referred to here on as Rising or Revengeance) was announced but Revengeance almost never came to be. Raiden returned in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and he was given a much cooler style as he was half cyborg at that point. Sure we played Snake for a bit at the beginning, but then he was swapped out with a prissy looking man named Raiden and we kept waiting for the game to give us back control of our beloved Snake it didn’t for the most part, and after all these years I still hold that grudge. We all bought Metal Gear Solid 2 and had the ole bait and switch done to us. For those that aren’t in the know, essentially when the trailer was shown it depicted Snake in certain stages and it looked great. If you’re a Metal Gear Solid fan like myself, you’re probably still a little bitter over the debacle of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Rising is to distinguish that a new hero is at the forefront of this tale, someone that we’ve played before…unwillingly. Metal Gear Rising, not Solid this isn’t a story about the infamous Solid Snake or Big Boss, which is why the Solid has been dropped from the title.
