Monsoon looks awesome, I love that set of kicks he uses at the beginning of the fight. Is Sundownder using solar panels? lol

Game looks better and better

I'm pretty stoked for the whole Grey Fox skin. It's going to make the game 1,000,000x better!

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-01-18 21:43

Curious what other skins there are.

Kojima originally envisioned Gray Fox as the star of Metal Gear Rising

Hideo Kojima's transition from game designer to game producer is one steeped in compromise, the Metal Gear mogul explained during a recent interview with IGN. Specifically, Kojima would have preferred that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance star series mainstay cyborg ninja Gray Fox, rather than Raiden.

"It was my staff in Kojima Productions that insisted on Raiden, and I respected their idea," Kojima said. "In my personal opinion, I wanted to go for Frank Jaegar or Gray Fox. But if we had gone with that, I would have had to write the script and then be really committed to creating the game."

In the end, passing the torch of crafting Metal Gear's universe to the next generation of developers was of greater importance than ensuring Gray Fox as the star. "I want to pass game development to the younger generation in my team, and have been trying to do so for quite some time. Before I never could give complete responsibilities for other games, but for Revengeance, they are fully in control. Besides, if I had created the game and directed it, it wouldn't have been this game."

Well fuck that team. Kojima + a Gray Fox full story had been my dream since 1998. Guess I can't be to upset since Franky's story is great as it is. But to hear that there was a possibility is kind of disheartening.

demo comes out tomorrow.
Can't wait to actually play it.

**euph** · 2013-01-21 23:20

Cant wait!

**Kuya** · 2013-01-22 04:48

Finally! A game gamers won't protest about!

**Qalbert** · 2013-01-22 08:21

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

**Niiro** · 2013-01-22 12:22

Ok guys, now that we know we could have had a Grey Fox prequel it's time to bitch about being Raiden again. Channel your MGS2 switcheroo rage.

Well from a marketing / sales standpoint I can understand their choice. One of the most (if not THE) most hated character from the series vs One of the greatest characters ever made having their own game. It's a no brainier to me. But I like how Kojima stated that he would have to personally do a Gray Fox game so nobody could fuck up his awesomeness. But he doesn't give a shit letting others deal with a Raiden storyline.

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-01-22 20:55

Yeah, they got shit a load of liberties they can take with Raiden. Not surprised Kojima said fuck it, he's been trying to hand off the series to a younger generation of developers for awhile now.

**Arelian** · 2013-01-22 21:34

Just played the demo. Infinite hype.

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-01-22 21:48

Is the demo any different then the one that came with the ZoE HD collection?

**Arelian** · 2013-01-22 22:04

I don't think so. It's just a short level that ends with the dog boss fight.

**Odesseiron** · 2013-01-22 22:05

Well, that's a day 1 buy.

**Cichy** · 2013-01-23 00:45

played demo, day 1

Bah! Was foolishly getting my hopes up. Should give it another run one of these days before release. Parrying the dog is a shit load of fun.
