Before even that, the game was teased during a panel at the 2009 Game Developer's Conference by Hideo Kojima. The game was first unveiled at E3 2009 under the name Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Senator is hellbent on ' America great again,' among other nefarious deeds. It's still a game about politics too, only instead of a deep military conspiracy, a U.S.

If anything, the Metal Gear name propels the game forward into its nonsensical beats. And by most accounts-mechanically, tonally, but maybe not narratively-Metal Gear Rising is its own zany thing, never held back by the series name plastered in front of it. As someone who's hardly played any of the Metal Gear games aside from dabbling in a couple, this throughline is still lost on me. Metal Gear Rising takes place in the distant future of, um, 2018, four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, making it the last entry in the chronological canon of the Metal Gear series. Metal Gear Rising is a Metal Gear game technically, starring Raiden, the bait-and-switch star of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It's all sliceable-and it all feels ridiculous in the process. Anything, except for that damn white cat that does backflips with every sword sliced their way. You can slice almost anything in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
