I will be honest, I had a lot of fears about MGR:R; after MGS4 I thought the series had tanked and all of the original footage Kojima gave us from it's initial build looked unfortunate at best. But since Platinum games took over I've been quickly falling in love with the over the top action scenes, the in your face combat, and even getting to play as Raiden in full ninja glory. This trailer cemented my purchase with one aspect.... STEALTH IS STILL THERE!
I was seriously worried this was going to be a hack and slash action title, but seeing Raiden sneak around and then slice people in half (through pillars even) makes my heart melt. Let's just hope that it gets incorporated into the game as a whole rather than particular missions being stealth oriented while the rest are all out action. I also hope they offer a no-kill play through option as; impossible as it might seem, it's just a staple of MG that I'd rather not see die.
For the people who think this is truly off the wall and doesn't fit with MG's history, please go replay MGS4 and reconsider how insane the series has actually gotten. Everything Raiden is doing is really just an extension of all the bat shit craziness that came out of GotP....
