Posted on January 15, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Konami has announced that the demo, featuring the first chapter of Rising and a boss fight, will be available on January 22nd on Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Get set to slice and dice your way through your enemies.

Metal Gear Rising  was originally announced at E3 alongside Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and was set to take place between the events of MGS2 and MGS3. The game has since shifted developers to Platinum Studios, the developers behind Madworld and Bayonett, and now takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

The full version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be available at retail in North America on February 19th on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Sorry Xbox 360 Owners, Still No Metal Gear Solid 4 For You!


Posted on November 28, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

An Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 has been the butt of a joke in the PS3 community for some time. It went so far as to have users create image macros of a 20 disc Xbox 360 box art mock up for the game. So that when we learned that a New Zealand retail outlet listed an Xbox version of the game we were a little skeptica

As it turns out, the image is just the PS3 artwork for the 25th anniversary edition of the game that was recently released with an Xbox 360 banner plastered on top. A konami rep told another outlet the game is not planned for the Xbox360 and will remain a PS3 exclusive. Considering each chapter in the five chapter epic takes up 3,500MB each in addition to a 25GB Blu Ray you’d be looking at five discs or more to contain the game. Then again, games like Lost Odyssey are four discs and this year’s Halo 4 required an 8GB install for some features. So there is a precident for larger games.

All of this doesn’t mean that Xbox 360 owners are without Metal Gear Solid love in the near future. Both Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros and Metal Gear Solid: Risingare scheduled for 2013 on PS3/Xbox 360. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was released for the Xbox 360 last year that included MGS2, Peace Walker and MGS 3.

Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Patch Now Online


Posted on August 6, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

There’s now a new reason for you to revisit Metal Gear Solid 4, well ok, 19 reasons to re-play Kojima’s PS3 classic with the announcement of Trophy Support. The patch actually went live on August 3rd, so we dropped the ball a bit here, but hey – late is better than never right?

Sony’s official PlayStation Blog has the rundown on all of the trophies Konami has included. They’re a bit on the strange side, as is to be expected. You won’t be increasing your trophy rank by just completing the various acts of MG4. Instead, you’ll have to make Otakon kiss you during the final battle or make all of the members of the B&B core dance to J-pop.

Weird things indeed…
