Revengeance Set 4 Years After MGS4, Sunny Returns
Metal Gear Rising: RevengeanceWhile everyone is all psyched for Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, let's not forget another Metal Gear title is coming a great deal sooner.
And although the story may not be as big of a focal point, the plot in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance should prove intriguing. And thanks to a few flyers that were being handed out at this past week's Tokyo Game Show (and as seen at an unofficial MGS site), we've got a few new details.
Firstly, the date of the setting is 2018 and if you remember, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was set in 2014. Also, the popular and memorable character of Sunny should be featured as well; with the four-year gap, she may be between ten and twelve years old. Also, as a bit of clarification if you didn't already know, Snake is gone and he won't be included in the game. Of course, the same can't be said for Ground Zeroes as he clearly has returned as the protagonist.
It's all a little confusing to be sure but then again, it's MGS. It wouldn't be MGS if it wasn't at least a little confusing.

Paz and chico are mentioned in the ground zeroes trailer and are supporting characters in peacewalker so by the sound of it ground zeroes is set during the late 70's - early-mid 80's in which case solid snake would still be a teennie bopper!
But i suppose there is a chance ground zeroes is set in 1990 which would put solid snake at the age of 18.

The only Snake still alive should be the fake VR Trained one that goes by the codename Raiden now.
Unless Solid has his body preserved like Naked and Solidus, and Raiden has to find a way to cure, I don't expect him to come back unless he becomes a Cyborg Snake, similar to the process done with Gray Fox, Olga, and Raiden.

Judging by the liver spots on his hands in mgs4,solid snake had the body of a man in his 70's or 80's,and with foxdie taken care off he could last another 5 - 10 years maybe

And anyway, it looks far to futuristic to be only 4 years a head of MGS4.I'm just not buying it - nor will I be purchasing the game until it reaches budget pricing.
Solid Snake had better not be in this game, that would infuriate me more than how they have already destroyed Raiden's well earnt peace.
ON a side note, I watched the trailer and I did like some of what I saw, I liked how Raiden was sneaking around jumping up wall to destroy cameras. But the most charming thing I found was the Gekko. I never really liked them in MGS4, but they seem to have given a bit of life in this game.
But as it still stands, this game is too over to top for a Metal Gear (yes you rad that right..), it is set after MGS4 which is the conclusion to the series... I will not stand listening to "It's the end of Solid Snakes story" There is nothing left to tell after MGS4, Nothing. Then there is the art design. The characters seem to be having that Dirge of Cerberus syndrome, they just look over stylised and daft - and I think we all know how FF7:DoC's story went despite that I for one even enjoyed the gameplay.
I'm going to Eurogamer Expo in London where I will no doubt try it. Luckily it is in the 18+ section as I know I'll be cursing quite a bit...

Solid Snake isn't the protag of Zeroes though, Naked Snake is right? But Solid is gone from Revengeance I think.
