[@vividao4123]

To all those who are complaining: 1. This isn't a Rising game. The combat system in Rising would be totally out of place when this is a purely stealth- oriented game. 2. Raiden has used guns before guys. It's not like he depends so much on his sword that he can't turn it down for a stealth mission. 3. The only reason why Rising's combat was possible was because Platinum was using their engine. Kojima's engine is tailored for stealth gaming. Rising-like gameplay wouldn't work here. 4. Even if they were to try to emulate Rising, it would be awkward in comparison to the actual game. These guys aren't cyborgs that would trade swords for guns and just charge at you and they don't have MCFC packages in their bodies either. You wouldn't be able to go into Blade Mode (no fuel cell energy), stealth kills would be useless, and you can't go around cutting these guys up anyhow. In summary, the gun was used because the gameplay called for it. This isn't a Rising game, it's a Solid one. In Solid games, guns are the optimal choice.

Damn, all the nods to Snatcher in this mission make me so happy. Fantastic game by Kojima and Konami when they were still cool. ... We still need a remake though.

Idk why people keep saying they would have to make a new engine for him to be able to use his sword. They would NOT have to make a new Engine just new animations.

Exactly. MGR was originally designed on the FOX engine and it looked so awesome.

"Snatcher" is the Kojima's game circa 1988. Haven't played it, but his point and click quests are fkn goooood.

[@astrobat1638]

Lore reason for not using the sword: Raiden's blade is charged from cyborg electrolytes and there are no cyborgs, making his blade kind of useless. Gameplay reason for not using the sword: MGSV is a stealth game, not a hack-and-slash game.

[@SangerZonvolt]

Wow, I really like the communication between the enemies, it´s athomspheric and makes them seem inteligent.

[@pentateuch908]

Thanks for uploading this. I hope both missions come out for both consoles, I have no idea why they decided to keep missions from us when the game is so short on its own.

[@JeeJ0LeeL]

Fun fact: The Alert Theme is "Return to Ashes", the battle theme for Denver's police cyborgs in MGR

[@godot2609]

this is totally canon

[@LostSoulSilver]

I love this so much for so many reasons. Raiden looks absolutely incredible in the Fox Engine and that entrance with superhero landing is amazing. A "dark distant future" really puts things into perspective coming from a Big Boss game. He obviously rejects the blade because he's going against Snatchers, not Cyborgs. The way Big Boss seems to acknowledge Raiden as an equal legend which at this point of his life he 100% is. And of course the music of MGR being used for the Caution and Alert enemy phases. As someone else said, Kojima actually showing some appreciation towards that game by using that version of Raiden. Also this being the second time we see him time traveling to the past, probably as a Terminator reference, the first time in MGS3 just for comical hijinks, but this time it's Serious Business and it's awesome, even the loading text talking about Time Paradoxes. Just simply seeing the words Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in a Kojima MGS game. Jst a big love letter in my opinion, and one that is very much welcome

[@MegaAstar30]

[@the_wooden_bear]

Be more interesting finding a reason why he didnt use his sword Kaz: we cant risk having your blade contaminated when you get back here so for this mission you gotta use range weapons.

[@AuroraBorealis170]

actually

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

Sergio Ramirez actually what?

[@oblivionspongebob947]

AKSHUALLY

[@DEFC0NZER0]

The main reason Raiden refuses his sword is because when he uses his sword, especially blade mode, it uses up his fuel cells which run on the electrolytes stored in the spines of cyborgs and UGs. Here, this is in the 1980s, where cyborgs of his kind(or any cyborgs at all) didn't exist yet, and no power could be obtained through taking them, especially not from humans or aliens. So, in order to keep himself from running out of energy and put him out of commission, he chose the rifle, which will not burn up any needed fuel that his sword would siphon him for.

[@homelander4458]

I have to say that it was awesome to play as Raiden in MGS5 Ground Zeroes and i hope he'll be playable in the Phantom Pain.

[@calebc789]

Well, its offical: SNATCHER takes place in the same universe as MGS (Im assuming the Snatchers encountered in this mission are prototypes deployed by the Soviets). Heck, even the PC 8808 version of Creeping Silence plays at 5:12 when Raiden scans the first SNATCHER. Then again, this is a DLC Mission from what I can tell and probably not canon (Raiden is the player character in this mission which takes place in the 70s/80s, so thats a big hint.)

Resimaster Me three. I was excited to see even a little bit of Snatcher in Metal Gear outside the usual references Kojima puts into the games. Watching this mission was okay, but left a lot to be desired. Its a one-off thing. There was a lot of material they could've worked with. On top of the stuff to come in Phantom Pain, the Snatcher menace would be top priority.

[@mauriciogioia5672]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I was like "why did he not take his sword." Guess the mission would be too easy if he had his Mgr game play.

[@kingofmonsters14]

Raiden wanted a challenge?

[@jubeidamasta]

Because that would have involved changing the gameplay completely....

[@Commanderflynn]

Oh of course, I'm not making a complain about the gameplay. It just seemed weird and off to me personally. It would have been nice for melee and such to have options and such.

[@skullofrebellion6653]

jubeidamasta They've had sword play in MGS before. It wouldn't have changed anything unless they went full MGR when it came to swordplay. They could have brought it back to MGS 2 Raiden's sword attacks with more finesse.
