After a new XS MGS, here comes a traielr for a new XL MGS : Metal Gear Solid: Rising, revealed by Kojima-san himself during Microsoft press briefing. However, when the trailer for MGS: Peace Maker shows a lot of gameplay, this trailer shows absolutely nothing.

Lightning Bolt Action still sounds ridiculous though, almost like it's a spoof game.

Kojima really doesn't seem too interested in this game but as it is releasing under his company's logo, it should be worthy of anyone's time (just not as worth as a "real" MGS title I reckon...But who knows, we ahven't seen any of it yet..).
And this I think is a fair speculation:
Konami wanted MGS4 to be multiplatform but Kojima insisted that it stayed PS3 exclusive. Konami then agreed on the basis that a MGS game at a later date would be released for 360 and PS3 and thus, 'Rising' was born.
Maybe I'd like them more if i was younger? not sure but I'm sure this will be a good game for those who love the MGS universe.
If in the time-line it continues after MGS4, it's MGS5. Not like that spin-off made after MGS3, just like portable ops, milkin' spin-off.

However, just because MGS: Rising is a pseudo spin off doesn't make it any less cool. I'm still getting it (I'm personally hoping for some PSP-PS3 interaction on this one). However, I personally find it hard to get excited about a game when the only footage of the game is a high resolution render of the main character.
My point is I personally don't give a rat's fuzzy butt cheeks about all this fanboy bickering, if the game is good I will play it and at this point we don't know anything about the game's quality. Fanboys have to accept the Metal Gear name continuing without Kojima hovering over it forever so now would be a good time to start getting used to it.

Also we fans know what makes MGS game a MGS game and those are:
1) Solid Snake
2) Hideo Kojima
Both missing in this game.
Well maybe Snake will make an appearance but you don't play as him.
And Chapter 3 of MGS4 was left for someone else to do as an "experiment" and 80% of that chapter was really bad compared to rest of the game so there you go.
I'm not saying this game will be crap though but I'm just not really sure this is the MGS I wanted.
To be perfectly honest I'm not even sure why this is called MGS.....Oh yeah I do, to sell.
At this point, of basically knowing nothing about MGS Rising, I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I have played and enjoyed the previous games so I consider myself a fan but I am also willing to admit they have some major problems with the bloated length of cut scenes and this is something that can also be directly attributed to Kojima.
As far as Snake goes, his story is over, deal with it for love of God, just deal with it.

Also, Solid Snake isn't in Peace Walker or MGS3.. they're still MGS games.
And Solid Snake WAS in the original two MSX games, despite them simply being called "Metal Gear". The Solid part was added to emphasis the fact the game is 3D.
I'm just saying if they are going to make more (which they will until it runs out of milk...thanks to Konami) a true sequel to MGS3 is better than some Raiden spin-off.
He said he is passing it on to the "youth team"..OF COURSE he'll still look over it to make sure it doesn't go to sh!t but you get the impression he is WAY more involved in Peace Walker (as he is writing and directing it and all...)
As a side note, I found something amusing on the website for the title. In the U.S., the 360 logo is placed above the PS3 one while in Japan the positions are reversed. Kind of shows their target audience for the regions!
