A rumor is currently floating around the 'net that Metal Gear Solid: Rising's Raiden has had a bit of an update in his appearance.

The new Raiden is a little prettier, has baby blues instead of brown eyes, and his hair is now a more silvery grey color. The suit has also been upgraded and there appears to be a new object (his sword, perhaps?) in front of him.

    He's less shiny now. Oh, and his jaw looks to be a little more "steel" looking. Stainless, I mean.

    Weird. The first look is more appropriate. I mean the dude is almost completely machine, it would make sense he would have dark rings around his eyes and look like death has basically warmed over him.

    That being said, I have little hope for Rising. Peace Walker is where it's at.

    I must say, I'm not very into this look.

    That being said, I absolutely hated the way Snake looked in MGS4, but it far from ruined the game for me.

    I still think this could be a great game. Only time will tell.

      Damn that sucks for you, playing through MGS4 and hating the way the main character looks. I can't imagine why you hated that, but all the same, damn...

          Haha, I always put Snake's young face-camo on in MGS4 so he was better to look at. XD

      You really think so? Take a second look. Look at the hair, nothing changed about the skin either except the coloration. The specularity and bump maps are nearly identical to the original. I like the jaw in the first one too, now it looks too much like a terminator jaw.

        Atleast his eye color is back to normal.

    I wonder if there was a lapse in developer memory when they designed the first one...?
