:Yeah, I agree with that spin-off-thing. Technically it is a spin-off. Which doesn't mean, it's non-canon. But what the hell are you talking about a reboot? This defonitely is Raiden and he looks EXACTLY like his MGS2 and MGS4 counterpart!!! There has been NOTHING out on the plot yet, except that the game's story takes place between MGS2 and MGS4. So until we hear anything else, the article is fine as is and anything else would be ORIGINAL RESEARCH!!! So just shut the **** up and go to a forum with your theories!
