Just reduce the over the top action and go back to the roots. If they do a Raiden game set between MGS2-MGS4. I'd hope Kojima had a bigger part in it.. while MGR was fun with all its crazy stuff (especially senator armstrong on nanomachines) I wouldn't want those kinds of things to return. I'd like to have it very serious. Not_sure_if can trust PG* to do that kind of a game... I'd gladly be wrong though.

Anyway,  I have to admit, when I saw the FOX Engine graphics for the first version of MGR (Or Metal Gear Solid: Rising), they looked amazing and I will admit, a lot better than PG. So I do hope the FOX Engine will help make MGR2 because I am not bashing PG's graphics, they have good graphics too, but yeah, I'd prefer to see the on the FOX Engine, give it a little more purity

I can see what you mean by that. I didn't have a problem with MGR being balls to the wall insanity. It was fun, but I couldn't take it 100% serious until the story actually kicked in. Which didn't take long thankfully. Just as I stated, they left too big a gap between MGS2 and MGS4 to not explain. Also I understand your fears about PG because I have the same ones. I don't believe they can pull of an emotional game. It just doesn't seem to be there forte. They can do a good story, because I have seen them do that, but not an emotional one. In my opinion anyway. I love MGS for it's serious story, it has such an emotional story, which is why MGR kinda bothered me. They made Raiden back into what he had resolved by the end of MGS4. The Jack the Ripper side came out during the MGS2-MGS4 gap that has been left. In fact there is refference to it in MGS history that explains a little bit how Sunny was rescued by Raiden. But unfortunately, no honest to God detail or explanation to what occurred. So yeah, I really want them to explain that section of story. It's the only thing left still really bothering me. As for Rising, I enjoyed the game. I think the entirety of the plot could have been more polished and intriguing. Some of the characters were a bit too over the top. I believe the game could have been awesome without Raiden throwing Metal Gear or Armstrong having mega nanomachines. If the cutscenes were directed by Kojima I think we would have gotten more flashbacks into Jack's childhood to really flesh out why this mission was so personal for him. I think for a second game, make it more dark. Give it a feeling of hopelessness. I loved the game but it did have a little bubblegum anime in it.
