After producing a collection of innovative, stealth/action games known as the Metal Gear series, Konami has recently announced that the development of their spin off, "Metal Gear Solid Rising" has been transferred over to Platinum Games and renamed "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". The debut trailer features cinematics and gameplay from Platinum's re-launch which has left many long-term fans of the series feeling disappointed with Hideo Kojima's decision.

What could have been a fantastic spin-off that complimented the main series and explained the events that occurred between "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty" and "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots" (which was originally implied in previous trailers from 2010) has been reduced to a gimmicky, hack-n-slash game with a plot that will completely change the ending of the latter.
