strong argument, but 1 thing that i find doubtful and something that was not mentioned in the article, is the title. im sure this was discussed before but it sill bothers me. the solid in the franchise surly stood for solid snake.

could they not title it metal gear raiden rising or ninja rising or some shit like that? they did a pretty good job changing the tagline into lighting bolt action. if snake really does not play a role in this 1, than they should have changed the title.

theres something fishy bout this sudden delay of the release date of MGS RISING and I think its something to do with the new PLAYSTATION move feature because the sword game on sport champions proper reminded me of RISING well I hope so anyway it would be wicked 8)

Kojima is the biggest troll ever. No one can be sure whats next from him.

Also, if I read this properly, Snake and Otacon are the ones who did the actual rescue of Sunny, which is why she lives in the Nomad. Raiden most likely plays a helping hand in the rescue, giving them the opportunity to preform the rescue. At least that is what I could pull from the synopsis in the “MGS4 Complete Official Guide”.

Oops! As I was checking to see if anyone had replied to my comment, I realized that I made a mistake in saying that the author claimed Snake would be a *playable* character.

It still doesn’t remove the nonsense found in his statement.

Uhh… about Snake’s aging, they did give a cause. It was explained that since he is a clone of Big Boss, that the scientists had to make sure that his genetic material could not fall into enemy hands. They prevented this by designing him to be sterile and fast-aging.

“Chronologically speaking Rising takes place after Sons of Liberty and before Guns of the Patriots. If you remember at the ending of Sons of Liberty, Snake states to Raiden that he going after Liquid and his Ray and is going to find Sunny, Olga’s child. But in MGS4 it is revealed that Raiden is the one that actually saves Sunny from the Patriots and not Snake. In order to explain that Snake has to be present in Rising in some form. Hideo Kojima has states before that Snake is his baby and he won’t let anyone else handle the character except him, which further solidifies my claim that Snake is back and Kojima IS actively involved with Rising.”

Logical fallacy, anyone? How about a little circular reasoning on the side?

This is the stupidest fucking paragraph I have ever read in my entire life. I AM NOT exaggerating. Observe:

1. You offer no proof that Snake is a playable character in Rising.
2. Kojima states that he is NOT working on Rising.
3. You make the claim that Snake is a playable character in Rising.
4. Kojima claims that no one besides himself will work with Snake.
5. Therefore, Snake must be a playable character in Rising because YOU SAY SO, and thus, Kojima is actually working on Rising.

I have lamented the quality of gaming journalism in the past, but this is beyond horrible. You should get together with Stephen Hawking and discuss theology, logical missteps can be your ice breaker.

it tells you in mgs4 that he has accelerated ageing due to major zero needing a replacement for big boss as the figurehead of the patriots as quickly as possible, thats why they grew up so quickly and now why he is still ageing rapidly, he was designed that way during the cloning process
