Hideo Kojima has just popped up at Microsoft’s keynote, and announced that the Metal Gear Solid franchise is coming to Xbox 360 with an all-new title.
This game is called “Metal Gear Rising”, is a completely-new title, and rather than starring Solid Snake, will star Raiden.
Big stuff, no?

Gameplay mechanics aside, the bigger remark should be, that there is an MGS game coming to the X360 at all! Even Kojima Productions, largely considered the last bastion for faithful 3rd party exclusives can’t evade the allurement of the success of the Xbox360.
