I wasn't interested before but now seeing that Platinum Games is making it and after seeing the trailer, I'm getting more and more excited the more I think about it.

This was always going to be an action game, and frankly, I don't think Kojima Productions could ever make on half as good as they can. Vanquish was easily one of the most undeniably fun games I've played this year (I was a little late to the party). Everything I saw in that trailer looked delightfully over the top and exciting. I could care less if they drop a hard link to the regular MGS universe. Let Platinum cut loose and do what they do best.
