Photos from Metal Gear Rising promotion event in Japan

Konami is collaborating with Japanese game stores to give people the oppertunity to play Metal Gear Rising and obtain some goodies while they're at it. Below are some photos from the Twitter accounts of Yuji Korekado, Kojima Productions and Hideo Kojima.

Meh, when is the Ground Zeroes event again? Can't wait for GDC 2013.

why are you here if you're not interested? also if you don't like this game don't call yourself a Kojima or MGS fan

[Donnieboi]

I don't hate the game I just don't like that it's getting more focus than Ground Zeroes. Second, I clicked BECAUSE i'm a Kojima fan. 3rd, although i'm no fan of Rising (I don't hate it or love it), the measure of a TRUE MGS fan is whether they are more excited about Ground Zeroes or Rising (even if they love Rising a lot). Not a diss on Rising, but Ground Zeroes is a true MGS game (in the traditional stealth sense), so don't try to corner me with crap about what IS or isn't an MGS fan. If my excitement for Ground Zeroes doesn't show how much I love traditional MGS games, than YOUR the one who I must question.

Once again, Rising is fine, but any MGS fan who is not more eager for Ground Zeroes is no MGS fan. More like a Bayonetta fan with an MGS skin on it.

lol, why are you in The Last of Us, Uncharted and Naughty Dog articles if you're not interested?

MGR is not the same as MGS. Kojima didn't make this game, he shaped some of the aspects of its creation. And again, MGR it's not a MGS game, so how does anticipating the next MGS game, Ground Zeroes, not make him a true MGS fan? You're so full of fail j-blaze, do you even try?

Uh.....of course it's getting more attention....it's a week from release.....GZ doesn't have a date yet. Why promote something more than an upcoming release?

@ Donnieboi: Rising is getting more attention now because that game is about to come out. It's logical it's in the spotlight right now. But Ground Zeroes will be featured at GDC in March.

Thank you Nyxus. Reading Donnieboi's post made my head hurt. I wonder if he questions Kojima's love for MGS because he's been touring the globe promoting Rising! *gasps*

Ah. The only place where MGR:R is a console exclusive. The PS3, that is.
