Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.

Though similar in name, the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid Delta, Naked Snake, is different from the more iconic character of the series Solid Snake.
They looked the same, acted the same, and we're both voiced by David Hayter. During the classic period of MGS, there was no difference (someone correct me but I don't recall if in Snake Eater NS was already determined to create his private militia?)
Side note - still a fantastic series of games with a plot so bonkers but still somehow works.
The seeds of rebellion are planted after The Boss’ sacrifice in MGS3 but he starts his militia in Peace Walker.
Thanks NLN. That's what I seemed to think was the case, but for a series that retcons its own story multiple times throughout the decades it's hard to be 100% after a few years off.
They are different people for one. Naked snake becomes big boss of the original metal gear games. Solid and liquid are his clones.
From VGC: "Today marks the 35th anniversary of the original Metal Gear, and the official Japanese Metal Gear Twitter account posted a tweet celebrating the occasion.
However, awkwardly, fans still can’t play many series entries on modern consoles due to them having been pulled from storefronts last year. Konami said on Wednesday the games would soon return.
“The Metal Gear series, launched on 13 July 1987, celebrates its 35th anniversary today,” the tweet reads. “We are preparing to resume the sale of titles that had been temporarily suspended.”"
Hoping MGS 1, MGS2,3 and 4 come to PS+ Premium and MGS1 have trophies that would be great.
That would absolutely make my year if MGS1 was. 2 not so much, one of my all time favourite games but damn the trophy list was a pain 🤣
I wanted one a long time ago, then Twin Snakes happened. Hopefully if the do a remake, it’s a proper one.
I want a real remake, not another TS. No backflipping off missiles and spinning sniper shots. A real Solid Snake MGS
Bring Metal Gear back to PS Now…Premium
MGS2 & MGS3 may have gotten delisted, but MGS4 & MGR:R just disappeared from the service when they were longtime staples
If any Metal Gear game should be delisted it should be Metal Gear Survive
I hope they also bring MGS1 & MPO to PS+ Premium with trophies so my set can finally be complete for the whole franchise
I don't trust Konami doing anything new with the series but I hope they become available in a proper way on the PSN hopefully PS4/PS5 will both be able to access these games, really want to replay MGS4 and since it's been delisted the only way right now would be to emulate it which I'm not a fan of tbh, it's also not emulated properly yet, there's still bugs etc. =[
Don't really have the spare bucks to buy a PS3 + the game again just for MGS4, especially with this news it seems like if I wait a while it might show up on PS again, it used to be on PSNoW and I'd rather sub to PSNOW for a bit to have some other titles playable besides just MGS4 for the same price or even cheaper then going the route of buying a PS3 and the game
I understand I also played mhs4 via ps now about a year or so ago. However I did buy a PS3 40gb for £25 last year as well as a copy of the standard edition of MGS4 for £3.
He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.
Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.
I liked Raiden personally
Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.
I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days
I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
