Metal Gear Solid: Rising Multiplatform – Report
SCEA CEO Jack Tretton has reportedly confirmed that Metal Gear Solid: Rising will not be exclusive to Xbox 360.
The title, which was announced for Xbox 360 at Microsoft’s E3 press conference, will feature MGS2 star Raiden and was described by creator Hideo Kojima as “a completely new Metal Gear experience.”
Following its unveiling and subsequent no-show at Sony’s press conference, it seemed possible that the latest title in the series, which is appearing on Xbox 360 for the first time, could be exclusive to Microsoft’s console.
However, Sony’s Tretton told respected US games journo Geoff Keighley that won’t be the case. “Spoke to Tretton,” Keighley wrote on his Twitter account. “He confirmed Metal Gear: Rising is absolutely coming to PS3 alongside Xbox 360.”
While this has yet to be officially confirmed, it now appears likely. More details about the game are expected to be revealed at publisher Konami’s E3 press conference later today.

It is multi plat - it says so at the end of the new trailer.
Metal Gear Solid is getting spinoffs? Well, we all know where this is going: Snake's Pistol Training, Shadow Moses Party 4, and Metal Gear Kart, where we race Gekkos against Rexes, Rays, and D's using items that include bombs, porn magazines, and the almighty Rex's rail gun nuke, which targets the player in front for MASSIVE DAMAGE.
I can't really say anything about this yet, because it's pretty much a name and concept only so far. Hooray, we get to play as Raiden. Does that really tell me anything other than this will NOT be a stealth game (Don't mention Metal Gear 2, RoboRaiden's a completely new factor)?
I don't know, man, after I beat MGS4 I just saw this as the next logical step. Between MGS2 and MGS4, all we know about Raiden is that now he's a cyborg ninja. I guessed that the next game would either be a redone, definitive edition of the original two Metal Gears using the MGS4 engine (since most of us still only know about the stories there through text summaries, and they conflict with each other), or an action game around Raiden.
Still hoping for that MG/MG2 remake.
I reckon some sort of Devil May Cry rip off. Konami doesn't have an Action slasher so this would kick it off with one of the biggest franchises in gaming and, now, one of the most bad ass protagonists (even if he's still a bit whiny).
Well, I'm guessing the newly announced Castlevania will be a DMC/GOW "appreciation society", so We shall see. Kojima did promise this would be a "proper" Metal gear game, so maybe it will stay close to its roots.
haha, I just watched the trailer for Lords of Shadow. It's straight up DMC. But I would be more than happy if they did change up the game play for Rising. After all Cyborg Raiden is a different kettle of fish compared to Snake. I'm sure we all remember the Cekko fight with Vamp in MGS4, two words, ninja breakdance. I'm just hoping they don't concentrate on the lightning too much. However if it's in the title, one would assume it's going to be a major part of the picture.
