Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that its recently released Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be heading over to Windows for all the PC gamers waiting to get a taste of Raiden’s hack-and-slash exploits.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, developed by Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, has been critically acclaimed for taking the massively popular Metal Gear franchise into an exciting new territory with an action experience that was never seen in a previous Metal Gear game.
“The game brings together two of the world's most respected development forces, and unites them with a goal of producing a fresh experience that combines the best elements of pure action with epic story-telling set within the expansive METAL GEAR universe,” the official press release states.
The game introduces Raiden as its central character. Raiden, of course, is a former child soldier who was transformed into a cybernetically enhanced killing machine without any real emotions. However, filled up with the sense of revenge, and equipped with a high-frequency katana blade that can cut through anything, Raiden is all set to give bad guys a serious headache.
The press release further states that the game combines famed elements from the Metal Gear series with all-new aspects, including:
“The latest METAL GEAR experience: Featuring an all-new style of frenetic action gameplay and central character: Raiden, a cyborg ninja who uses his high-frequency blade to cut through anything that stands in his path!
A new experience: Uniting development powerhouses Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE offers fast and fluid gaming centered on katana-based combat within the METAL GEAR universe.
Advanced technology: The in-game technology will push the boundaries of graphics, style and lightning-speed action at a blistering 60fps on most modern PCs
ZanDatsu Cut Mechanic: Take advantage of ‘an all-encompassing cutting plane in real time’. Cut what you want, when you want, how you want.”
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, when it first arrived for PS3 and Xbox 360 back in February this year, was well received by critics with a growing popularity toward Platinum Games' involvement. The game was also commended for its refined cutting system, the use of Metal Gear elements to complement the story although most of the focus was lying with despite the action-oriented approach and its intense boss fights.
However, the game did receive a bit of stick due to its camera and the length of the story mode.
