Look at Metal Gear Rising's silly DLC

Tomorrow, PS3 owners will be able to pick up their free exclusive DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The free content includes thirty additional VR missions, promising zany experiences that may have been too wacky for the main campaign (unbelievable as that may be).

A new Japanese trailer reveals some of the missions you'll embark on. You'll be able to play as the Dwarf Gekko once again in the first add-on mission. In another, you'll be gunning down enemies as Raiden. Another stage seems to take the perspective of a 2D side-scroller.

In Japan, players will also be able to download an additional DLC sword that evokes the spirit of Snake. As you'll see in the latter half of this video, the Snake-possessed sword will say words of encouragement as you play. This DLC has not yet been announced for the US, but it sure is hilarious.

Future DLC planned for Revengeance will let you play as Jetstream Sam and LQ-84i (the robot dog). These add-ons have not yet been announced for the US, but we'd be surprised if Konami didn't localize them.

      Is this game even coming to PC as the info box states?

        Has there ever been a Metal Gear game on PC?


        The DLC looks fun, and a free addon to an already great game is always good.

          The original MGS was ported to the PC.

              Holy shit, I didn't know about this! And it's the Subsistance Subsandwich Substance version to boot. Neat!

        Our database incorrectly states that the game is coming out to PC. There are currently no plans for a port.

      Would it kill publishers to release games with the original Japanese VO. Hell at this point I would even be willing to pay extra just for the option. Maybe release it has dlc. I would pay $5 for the original VO. I also wish they would release a fix for the camera.

        Japanese VO would have to cost more, because those voice actors still need to get paid.

        Don't forget to hit R2 to lock on. (They don't teach you this in the game.)

        Any idea if the Japanese release has options for English subs and menus? How can I find out?

      Wanna pick this game up so bad , but I heard it's only 4-5 hours long and I can't spend 60 dollars on that :(

        I have it and have played about an hour so far. It's enjoyable and it has that goofy Metal Gear quality...but it's almost entirely hidden behind the surface. Like the surface gameplay/interaction is all like "Hey, I'm bright and shiny and stuff!" but it's still got the enjoyable "I'm a Metal Gear game and I'm crazy as hell, rar!" feeling lurking below.

        And the PS3 version looks way better than the 360 version. But since my PS3 is shitting out on me, my options are limited.
