It's Platinum's take on the Metal Gear universe.ĭo you feel nervous in trusting the Metal Gear universe to another team, it's such a personal expression and does that apply to the upcoming film as well? So that said, as far as the settings concerned it takes place after Metal Gear Solid 4, so in that sense it is a continuation of the saga, a continuation of the story after Metal Gear Solid 4, but as you know this time we're working with Platinum Games and it's being developed outside of the studio, so it's a little bit different from the story I had in mind for what would happen after Metal Gear Solid 4, it's kind of Platinum Games interpretation of the story and interpretation of the Metal Gear world, so in that sense you could say it's sort of a parallel story, at the same time as well as being a continuation. So, first of all Metal Gear Rising is a spin off focused on Rising and his story, as well as a particular type of gameplay unique to this game.


So, Metal Gear Rising, it's not a numbered game in the series, but is it as integral and important to the storyline as a numbered game, and will the events be reflected in future games?

Even though he stated it to be a game he would not have made, it doesn't matter. Personally, Kojima has never stated once that the game is non canon and has basically clarified it to be canon and whatever direction PG wants it to be. I made this topic so you can argue your Metal Gear Rising canon/non canon debates. I know a lot of people would wish this game to be non-canon, but there are stuff I wish that didn't exist too but you know, I am keeping my mouth closed and letting others get on with what they feel content with.Īnyways, it's time for you to discuss here. People have said Kojima has stated it to be non-canon, but where? Because I am sure all informative sites would say so on the other hand. Instead of using a stealth approach, this game is based on hack n slash Instead of using guns, you're using swords Instead of fighting as Snake, you're playing Raiden. There have been many spinoffs which have held canon in it's name and as for the parallel story scenario, well look at it

Just because it's a spin-off, doesn't make it non-canon to the original. So I think it's time for people to start discussing because even though I have seen no confirmation of an uncanon Metal Gear Rising, people seem to believe that Metal Gear Rising is not canon because it's a parallel game from the true Metal Gear Solids and it's a spin-off.
