Hasta La Gadget!

Back in December it was revealed that Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace would be making its way onto the PC platform come 9th of January 2014. This is definitely great news for PC gamers who might not have owned the console version of the game that was released on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 back in 2013. Now before PC gamers get too excited about the game, it has been discovered that in order for the game to work, you will be required to have an internet connection, meaning that if your internet is down or if you decide to disconnect for whatever reason, you will not be able to play the game. This also means that if you get disconnected from the internet, you will be booted from the game immediately.

This was discovered when the game was put up on Steam for purchase whereby a number of Steam users written in to inform gamers about the always-on requirement. This is a bit odd given that the game is a single-player game, so the need for an internet connection is a bit odd. It is understandable if games like Diablo 3 which has single and multiplayer elements to have an always-on requirement, but we’re not sure what the deal is here. It is unclear if this is a bug or if it could be a DRM put into place by Konami, and the description on its Steam page does not state that an always-on internet connection is required either.

In any case whether this is a bug or a DRM put int place by Konami remains to be seen, but for gamers out there looking to get in on the action, this is definitely something worth taking note of before you go ahead and make your purchase.

For those of you who love Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, you might be interested to learn that Konami will be releasing a special edition copy of the game on the 5th of December which will basically include all of the downloadable content in one package, so for those who have not managed to get their hands on the game, you will be able to do so and save yourself time from having to download all the additional content. The special edition package will basically include Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance the game itself, 30 VR Missions, Jetstream content, Bladewolf content, a wood katana weapon, five costumes for Raiden which includes the Metal Gear Solid 4 Raiden and Grey Fox costume, and a Metal Gear Rising theme, all of which can be had for a cool $25.

As it stands it appears that this special edition copy of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be an exclusive to Japan as there has not been any announcement for a release outside of Japan, not to mention that the game was also a PlayStation 3 exclusive in Japan, so Xbox 360 gamers will most likely be disappointed if you were looking forward to the addition content and goodies.

Gamers if you were planning on picking up Metal Gear Rising, it seems that Konami has revealed several pre-order editions available for gamers in the UK. We’re not sure if these editions will be made available for those living stateside, but until we hear otherwise, it looks like it is only available for the UK market. There will be three pre-order editions available for purchase – the Limited Edition version, the Render Steelbook Edition, and a Shinkawa Edition.

Starting with the Limited Edition, this edition will come in a steelbook cover along with a White Raiden figurine which can be posed in different positions. Next up is the Render Steelbook Edition which basically comes in a different case, minus the figurine. Last but not least is the Shinkawa Edition which features a highly detailed steelbook case. No word on how much these pre-order editions will cost, but they are expected to go on sale starting from Feb 22^nd 2013.
