>original Rising script had the story split into three parts
>first part had you playing as human Raiden and rescuing Sunny from the game's villian
>Raiden manages to free Sunny but gets captured instead, villian guts Raiden and literally rips his jaw off
>Second part had you playing as "black Raiden", rebuilt into a cyborg, this is the new design from Rising
>Raiden is now a brainwashed killing machine who is forced to kill innocent people, very dark part of the story
>Third part had you finally becoming "White Raiden", his MGS4 design. Raiden breaks free from the brainwashing and goes to get revenge on the asshole who fucked up his face
Holy kino
