I was looking forward to Metal Gear Rising before that turned to trout and ditched whatever story they likely would have gone with. Metal Gear Solid 3 was a good game but it is my least favorite of the series and returning to play as Big Boss in the 80s(presumably) with holographic technology makes it seem like they just are not trying any more. I understand these games deal with highly advanced equipment and everything but come on man!

I am sure the game play, story and everything will be good but at this point I don't care and it seems like the only reason they are doing this is because they can't come up with an original concept or characters and are just falling back on this. Kojima has been saying he would like to leave MGS since the second one and at this point, I just don't think he has many ideas or is unwilling to take any chances.
