Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance VR Gameplay July 23, 2012

VR Training has always been a staple of the Metal Gear Solid series.  It was first seen in the original Metal Gear Solid game with three sets of 10 missions and a single “survival” mission.  When the game was re-released in Japan, 300 new VR missions were included, and they were the only component of the re-release that came over to the United States on the Playstation.  VR Missions returned in the re-release of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, which added 300 more VR Missions, all of which were brought over to the Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection for Xbox 360 and PS3.

So it’s quite fitting that Konami and Platinum Games decided to show off the VR Training Missions for the new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance game.  In this gameplay video, we get to see how the game’s controls are going to work, and just what possibilities open up for the player to have a sword that can cut EVERYTHING.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2013.
