News Metal Gear Solid: Rising Won't Use The Metal Gear Solid 4 Engine
The biggest question on our lips since the multi-platform announcement of Metal Gear Solid: Rising has been: how will the addition of a platform skew the output?

A Japanese site for the game has estimated release dates for both versions of the game - the XBOX 360 version listed as winter and the PS3 version TBA.
