Metal Gear Solid: Rising is expected to be much more action-oriented than previous installments in the series, so it only makes sense that it won’t be using the same engine.

Instead of using the engine from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the Kojima Productions team plans to build a whole new engine to achieve their “lighting bolt action.”

While I’m definitely looking forward to Rising – and really, how can you not get excited about lightning bolt action – I’m saddened that stealth won’t play as big of a part as usual. Still, they would never abandon stealth completely, so maybe I’m getting all fussed over nothing.

I just wonder how much more time a new engine will add on to the development process. Brady on June 18, 2009 10:51 am I dont know, probably a good deal because of testing and all but hopefully it will ad another excellent title to the series ;) RSS feed for comments on this post.
