E3 2012

Konami’s new gameplay trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance shows off a healthy amount of footage starring Raiden and his trusty blades. Most importantly, everything in this trailer that could possibly be cut in half, well, gets cut in half.

Buildings, giant robots, bullets, other cybernetic ninjas, helicopter propellers—all of it gets the slice-and-dice treatment, and judging by the trailer, any stealth elements in the gameplay will play second fiddle to getting the jump on your enemies with cleaving, quick attacks. Excited? Feel free to glimpse the full trailer below.

How about it, gang? Does Raiden look cool enough that you can forgive him for starring in Metal Gear Solid 2?
