New Metal Gear Solid Rising: Revengeance Trailer

Probably being one of the weirdest trailers I've ever seen, Konami's trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance shows off what appears to be Raiden being experimented on as he's poked and prodded with needles.

The website for Metal Gear Rising is pretty neat as there is a hand floating in the middle of the website and there is also a command prompt where you can enter commands; so far I haven't been able to get anything.

Good Luck Getting The Metal Gear Solid Themed 3DS

Konami announced last month that they will be releasing a snake skin themed 3DS for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D; no, it's not actual snake skin, it's a skin of snake skin.

At the time it was announced there was no information on how you can obtain the beautiful 3DS, but now it has been revealed how you can get your hands on it, but it's not going to be very easy.

Konami is selling the bundle on their online store, Konami Style, for ¥22,980, roughly $299. But it's not that easy, in order to be able to buy it, you're going to need to enter a raffle by registering for a Konami ID.

So you basically sign up, enter a raffle and if you win, you are able to continue to buy the Metal Gear Solid themed 3DS along with some other cool little goodies.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising Is Full Of Sword Play...And Revenge!

After an extremely long time of waiting, Konami has released more information about Metal Gear Solid: Rising via a trailer full of gruesome sword fighting done by the one and only Raiden.

The game looks like it's going in a whole different direction; with the player controlling Raiden and not Snake, it seems like stealth is out of the question, but revenge won't be out of the question at all apparently.

Fox Engine

Hideo Kojima and his team has been building their own game engine called "Fox Engine" for an untitled upcoming game project. Kojima, like always, is not giving any hint to what the project is, but he did show how the Fox Engine looks.

Kojima says that all the stuff in this picture has nothing to do with their project, instead it is just a few sample models, textures, ect. The engine looks pretty nice and clean; it is also to be a cross platformed engine with supposedly impressive development tools. It will be nice if it came with a development kit also, lots of people would want to get their hands on it I'm sure.

That's not all for Kojima, he has also announced that there will be a Metal Gear Solid HD Collection hitting stores this November. The collection will include Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I would more enjoy a complete Metal Gear Collection, now that is something I would throw my money at.
