As long as Platinum Games tones down the number of unneeded effects in the next Rising, I am fine with any plot they come up with. Even if it involves Raiden fighting Smurfs in Narnia alongside Saruman.

In all seriousness though, was I the only one bothered by the exaggerated swoosh particles seen in Revengeance? We get it. Platinum Games isn't used to making games that actually respect the laws of physics at least for once and that don't resemble animes, but they really need to stop using so much effects in one simple vertical attack. The action was fine I guess. Sure, I did feel like the whole "throwing Excelsus and hacking it with it's own huge ass blade" was just to satisfy the fans, but I didn't really mind it that much. Raiden did far more over-the-top stuff in Guns of the Patriots.

Still, I have a feeling that if they're gonna make another Rising, Kojima will lend P* the FOX Engine. I recall he stated in an interview that P* need to update their tech in order to be able to compete with other cool developing companies, or something along those lines.
