Here’s something I’ve personally been anticipating for a long time. Solid Kenny–who you may remember from his huge analysis of Metal Gear Rising –has made another video. This one is narrated by ItsDragonBlade, and whether you’re a fan of MGS2 or a hater, it should give you a new appreciation of the Raiden-Rose relationship. 14 years after the game was released, it’s amazing that there’s still more to think about in the game.
Thanks to the retired Ravi Singh, I saw this teaser for a Metal Gear Rising announcement:
I didn’t bother to comment on it, but before the real announcement is made today, I want to toss out a theory. April 30th is, of course, the day Jack and Rose met, as we were repeatedly reminded in Metal Gear Solid 2, and the tagline of “Make it right” at the end of the trailer makes me suspect that the plot will revolve around Rose being in danger. Raiden and Rose reconcile at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4, so perhaps Rose is held hostage, and Raiden needs to fight the PMC’s in order to save her? Perhaps too, his memory is altered in a test, and he needs to fight and kill in order to unlock his memory of Rose and find her so he can “make it right”?
Wild speculation, but we’ll see.
