207w ago - It was confirmed by
Hideo Kojima himself, Metal Gear Solid will now be on the Xbox 360 and the next game will be called Metal Gear Solid: Rising. It will revolve around Raiden.
This now means that if a game like Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out again with the same capacity used the Xbox 360 version will need at least 2 discs, most likely 3.
To quote: Konami head honcho Hideo Kojima sensationally appeared on stage at the Microsoft E3 presser and announced Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
MGS 2's Raiden will be the star this time. No Snake.
"The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most highly acclaimed video game franchises of all time," said Anthony Crouts, vice president of marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment.
"With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Xbox 360 community will finally get a chance to enjoy the action and excitement that this popular franchise is known to offer."

hi...
That obviously happens the other way around, with microsoft guys ripping on sony boys, but its about the game, not the consoles. I'm a big MGS fan and I'l definily play this game no matter the console. Its stupid for them to say how bad a game that is not even out is just because its on that console you hate so much for no reason.
This is what MGS2 (Sons of Liberty) is. You play Raiden and he his not so epic at all like he is in MGS4. Snake is in the game as well. Yet, he play's along side you to help in the missions.
I hope we have some good surprises today at Sony, and if there is a new MGS game made to be exclusive it will be another hit for Sony with a bold statement
We'll have to wait and see..
you will have full metal gear solid game on ur "priceless" console - expect that it will be without Snake
i personally dont give a crap for mgs without snake ... raiden was ok in the series but making a game with him as main character is a mistake ... cheers
