He's redeamed himself in MGS 4. He just better be packing his Ninja 1337ness all the way through the game.

Hey, as long as Raiden gets a shitload of Grey-Fox Style weaponry, good. If not, bad.

My theories is that it shows how Riaden gets the exoskeleton, and what happens between MGS2 and 4.

He was an ok character in MGS2, its just he had long hair, a tight outfit and wasn't Snake. In MGS4 he was an undeveloped (character-wise)deus ex machina who's only purpose was to belittle Snake and act all 'cool'. In MGS4 he turned into an utter prick, if you stripped all the gay elements out of MGS2 he would have been a fantastic character.

Good point. But It was an improvement from where I stood. Sure it was a little (Ok, A LOT) far-fetched, but what isn't in that universe? Mechs sounding like Cows, Octo-Camo, I could go on..
Raiden wasn't a Bad character, but it was a let-down not to be able to play as Snake.

I still dont get why people hate Raiden so much, sure its probably because people were expecting to play as Snake, but that was the fun of it, it was a new character, with an all new story. Plus Raiden was a very sypathetic character. I know that might sound gay, but he was still a good character damnit!!

This is meant to be after MGS4, he doesn't have arms at the end of MGS4, so unless they make him more of a cyborg (the arms I mean) that could be a very dull talky game, or a very unique dialogue light game, all because of the fact he has to hold his sword in his mouth.

My friend came up with a theory [http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Genki-JAM/matlock-gear-solid-rising-that-ain-t-raiden-it-s-sunny-update--134420.phtml], but it involves Sunny(maybe Olga) and not Raiden at all.

His take is interesting, and he at least went investigating.

That is the best theory I've ever heard. That explains the eyes, but where did he get all of those other images?

But anyway, that was some great detective work! Plus that pic at the bottom made me laugh

Yeah, I'd say it's even pretty likely this is going to true out true. And that picture deserves to be posted here:

Here's mine. Raiden and Ryu Hayabusa meet. They fight, epically of course. Ryu wins. End of the MGS games lol. I do love them to death for the record, just being funny. :p

Snake is ressurected and is now a senior citizen, and he lives in a retirement home and has to use his stealth skills to avoid the abusive nurses
I think that'd be more awesome than playing Raiden again, but maybe I'm just being too pessimistic from MGS2.

Hopefully they'll do it right this time...BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT "Lightning Bolt Action" has me worried.
Lightning Bolt Action is hilarious!

Admittedly done before, but hilarious still.

I'm just thinking about Diablo and killing cows with my lightning sorc...

I can't really come up with any theories that haven't already been brought to the table. I can only hope that the game is good.

I can guarantee it'll be confusing
Haha the end of Metal Gear 2 set off a mind grenade for me, I was like 15 and Had No idea what was going on.
These games are great but I personally believe just cause a story is nonsensical doesn't mean its good. Also I think Raiden gets a little to much hate, he's not so bad assuming they drop his mopey demeanor.
