Just saw this news on G4TV. If you don't know, E3 is an expo held annually in California solely for the gaming industry. It is the equivalent of major auto shows or electronic expositions.
Now, heres the sad news. Microsoft just announced the next Metal Gear franchise, officially named by Hideo Kojima as Metal Gear Solid Rising, will be available on XBOX 360. The story this time will no longer focus on Solid Snake, but instead on Raiden. Speculations are building as to whether or not this will be a XBOX 360 exclusive title or a multi-platform game, for the official words of this announcement was that "the development [of this game] is coming to XBOX 360", and not "XBOX 360 exclusive". Lets hope for the latter, as Sony seems reluctant to let this blockbuster title go.
Not much details are given on the game at this moment, as only this above image was released. The only thing known is that this upcoming title will be a continuation from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Raiden will be the main protagonist.
It saddens me to see that Sony is losing its exclusive titles to other companies that still thrive on a DVD drive. I mean, seriously? First we lose Final Fantasy XIII exclusive title, and now Metal Gear? Whats next? Crash Bandicoot?! Knowing Hideo Kojima, he'll have to think of a damn good story for Raiden in order to make a game worthy of his name for under 8gigs of memory.
Damn you Microsoft.
