E3: Metal Gear Solid: Rising Explains How Raiden Became A Badass
You may have noticed a slight difference in the skill and appearance of Raiden between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Guns of the Patriots. Rising will explain all that and more.
Rising bridges the gap between the second and fourth Metal Gear titles, and, try and contain yourself for this: in the game you will be able to pull off the same kickass cyber ninja moves Raiden threw at the creepy mooing mechs in Guns of the Patriots. Now that’s exciting. Read on after the jump for more details and the brand spanking new E3 trailer.
Raiden’s newest fully clothed adventure is looking great, especially the cutting mechanic that briefly slow down time giving you ample room to maneuver your sword so you can really slice and dice your enemies (or any inanimate objects that might be lying around the game). Seeing Raiden cut through a vehicle with ease than unleash his fury upon an unsuspecting watermelon shows that not even the thickest of fruits can stand in his way. I’ve cut a watermelon, it’s much more difficult than a cantaloupe. Just imagine, if you can, how much pain Raiden could unleash on a cantaloupe. Scary, huh?
One of the likely many awesome ideas in Rising is the ability to cut open mechs (and anything else) so you can claim the goodies inside. Now your enemies are essentially glorified piñatas, waiting for you to crack them open and get the life force spinal columns (see the trailer for that) or ammo that’s hidden inside their fragile forms. And since you can choose where you cut this means you have the option to maim or simply injure your enemies, which should give the more disturbed gamers amongst us the chance to brush up on their torture techniques. Fox News should have fun with that. I can see the headline now: “Metal Gear Title Lets Five Year-Olds Torture Innocent People”. Can’t wait.
There will also be plenty of stealth action in Rising, in case you were wondering. But enough chat, let’s get to the stylish new trailer, shown at E3 earlier in the week:

‘Hellraiser: Resurrections’ – BOOM! Studios Event Unleashes Five Brand New One-Shot Comics [Exclusive]
BOOM! Studios recently announced that three classic Clive Barker Hellraiser comic books are coming back to shelves, and we’ve got another exciting exclusive for you today.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that BOOM! Studios will return to the labyrinthine horrors of Clive Barker’s legendary Hellraiser universe with five all-new one-shots this Fall!
A brand new generation of creators will explore the untold corners of Clive Barker’s infernal mythology, revisiting iconic Cenobites while introducing terrifying new stories that expand the boundaries of the Hellscape itself with Hellraiser: Resurrections.
Each week through the month of September, a new chapter of damnation arrives, revealing the forces gathering in the shadows. The descent begins with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – NEW WOUNDS #1 from writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga as they draw readers into the hedonistic world of Hellraiser.
When an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box goes sideways, the gateways to Hell open anew.
Then, hear the unmistakable chattering of death itself in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE ONANISTIC RITUAL #1 from writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell.
The Chatterer bares his teeth for a brand-new mission. His goal? To reclaim his rightful place as the right hand of the Hell Priest himself!
Next, venture deeper into the hierarchy of Hell with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE DEEP GOSPEL #1 from writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha.
The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it…until the Engineer found her. But when she rejects the Engineer’s plans for her remaking, she’s cast down into the harrowing Nidus: the place where the larval stage of Cenobites fight to survive. She’s been here before and made it out alive—and she’ll do it again.
The horrors continue in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – HELL’S COUNCIL #1 from writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia.
We saw the fall of Butterball at the end of Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Now we’ll witness his rise as the wounded Cenobite is taken in by a mysterious do-gooder who slowly nurses him back to health, all while worming her way into his brain…and maybe even his heart?
Finally, the event culminates with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE RETURN OF THE PRIEST #1 from writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone.
Caught in the sensory deprivation of Middle Hell, Elliot Spencer suffers the worst fate: no feeling at all. When the glory of Leviathan’s light finally sears through him, granting him the gift of pain—it’s revelatory. The Hell Priest must journey to remake himself and gather his Gash once more to bring the cherished blessing of pain to all that deserve it.
From fresh visions of beloved Cenobites to horrifying new revelations hidden within the depths of Hell, Hellraiser: Resurrections serves as both a celebration of Clive Barker’s enduring mythology and the first chapter of an exciting new era for the franchise. The series kicks off a new publishing initiative that will bring a new Hellraiser ongoing series and miniseries to life through 2027.
Hellraiser: Resurrections begins this September with five weekly one-shots from BOOM! and distributed by Penguin Random House. You can preorder the series at your local comic shops and digitally through major content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
