This will take place before MGS4 then right? Maybe even cross into the game where Raiden fights the Gekkos and Vamp? 
Big Boss may then be in the game as a supporting character because remember, he was alive until the end of MGS4. Probably not though.

I'm a little concerned about the game play mechanics for this one, since it appears to focus more on action than stealth.

Think about the title though, "Rising," and how the game mentions that Raiden has been through hell and back and has changed. Even his voice changed a lot too from whiny to more gritty. My bet is that the game will see his transition from the inexperienced MGS2 Raiden into the bad ass MGS4 Raiden. It'll be his "rise" to power.

Maybe it'll be like a Batman Begins story line for Raiden telling us exactly how he became robot like etc... a lot of time passed since "Sons of Liberty" and "Guns of the Patriots"

That's .. incredibly gory. Did I just see Raiden rip glowing blue guts out? This will be way different than any Metal Gear series we've played, reminds me of Ninja Gaiden, really. I'm open to change though, so bring that shit!

If it comes out a year from now, it will be four years since the project was announced.

Life-long MGS fan as well...it is very odd to see the "Team Ninja" flavor in this game. So, I'm guessing the sneaking factor is out?

You forget the sole purpose of a ninja is to stay hidden. 
And the sole purpose of the MGS series was to stay hidden. Unless you're fighting a boss of course. This, in my mind anyway, is a "natural" transition.

I'm still on the fence with this one. I played a bit of the demo and I get a real kick out of the blade mechanics. Have to play it a bit more to see if I should buy it..... I really don't play enough video games to justify buying a new game at full price.

Well, the later stages do have sneaking elements. You still always have the option to go in with the katana-swinging...but, you have the option to sneak.
BUT, ultimately, this is not like the prior MGS games whatsoever. The crouching, peak around the corner ability is not in this game.
Still, it is pretty good. I'm enjoying it. Some over-the-top bosses...

Even in regular MGS you had to option to go sneaky sneaky or guns a blazing.
What I did like was that there was even an option to not have even 1 kill. Can you do that with this game?
I still need to open the damn box.

As per my post: no. This game is all about "revenge" and killing. There is no tranquilizer gun for you to use...your only main weapon is a katana. So, yeah. Hack away.

Ok fine.
Should I open the box? Wonder how that plasma lamp that came with it looks like.

They should release a patch for MGS2 that makes use of these new blade mechanics. That way Solidus wouldn't be such a frustrating pos.
