I dunno, if MGS 6 (yes, 6, fuck roman numerals) uses the post-Patriot world created by Rising, I think its canoncity cant be denied anymore, hell Konami doesnt have problems acknowledging Rising in the timeline.

The game was silly, just like any other metal gear title, but I think despite being an over the top hack and slash game, MGR is actually the only game the advanced the overall metal gear universe and lore since 2008, the worldbuilding is there, a War World 3 scenario was stopped by Raiden, PMC are on the rise again, poor people are being used as guinea pigs, we learned that high ranking politicians like Armstrong and other PMC were aware of The Patriots actions, cyborgs are becoming more and more dangerous not to mention on being discriminated like Jack case.

Whoever wrote Rising really did set a cool staring fresh point for a new saga, if Konami or the new writers plays their cards right, we can easily have a cool Deus Ex esque cyber punk stealth action game MGS game imo.
