METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory by focusing on delivering an all-new action experience unlike anything that has come before.

Oh Platinum games, you magnificent wackjobs.

The most important thing to take from the following video is the release date for Platinum and Konami’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. However, my favorite thing in the video is easily the robot dog with a chainsaw-tail. Priorities, people.

This game is already about as hyped up as it is going to get. Another cinematic trailer won’t really make much difference, but if you want to see some gameplay head over to this post to see it in action. “Action” would be the operative word, but I think “stab” and “slice” are perhaps more instrumental in the grand scheme of words.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 19th, 2013.

    A cyborg canine? I believe Platinum games just threw in a homage to Strider and Casshern.

    Not quite the MGS action I’m used to, but it sure looks like fun. I’m going to keep myself posted and wait for the reviews before I make my mind up, though.

    Oh, who am I kidding? We all know it’s going to be good, the question is will I like it.

REVIEW

GAMEPLAY SHOWCASE
“What’s this?” you might ask. This is basically a 20-30 minute video of straight unedited gameplay with commentary showcasing a small segment of the game and it’s various other aspects. Hopefully this will give you a better sense of what the experience is like as it can be hard to tell sometimes in edited reviews. I hope you enjoy!

    There’s not much else I can add that has not already been said other than good job PG and Konami.

    The game might very well be 60fps but this video ain’t. I would have loved this game on the Vita. It would have probably sold extremely well considering it has no friggin’ competition. On consoles/PC though I think I’m gonna skip it. I was a huge fan of MGS1 you see, and I loved every second of MGS2′s tanker chapter and then…
    I loathe Raiden.

    Taylor, Raiden’s voice actor is none other than Quinton Flynn. Not only has he provided Raiden’s voice for every Metal Gear Solid game the character is in, he’s also well-known for:

    Reno in Final Fantasy: Advent Children & Crisis Core

    Henry from the No More Heroes games

    Axel and then Lea for the Kingdom Hearts games

    Dr. Riddles from Zatch Bell! (both the anime and subsequent video games)

    Kolyat Krios from Mass Effect 2 & 3

    Just to name a few. Quinton Flynn is an amazing voice actor!

    They should call the sequel “Revengeavenganence: The Revengening”.

    Played through the Story once and now giving at a rest for a while before going back to play it on Hard.
    Had a blast, since I actually really liked Raiden in MGS 2 and 4.

    Platinum already announced a bunch of DLC, like the Solid Snake Wooden Sword (imbued with the Spirit of the Legendary Soldier), several VR misssions and two new Story DLC’s focusing on Jetstream Sam and Blade Wolf. Both will most likely be playable, too.

    Whatever may come, I’m looking forward to it.
