Metal Gear Solid: Rising synes at blive starten på et nyt kapitel for den japanske spiludvikler Konami, ikke mindst fordi spillet står til udgivelse på både Playstation 3, Xbox 360 og PC.
Siden Videogamer har snakket med Metal Gear Risings producer Shigenobu Matsuyama om det nye spil, samt om dette er en ny begyndelse for udvikleren, og her er hvad han sagde:
"I think it's very important for the future of Japanese publishing... We see publishers - Capcom have started a little bit earlier than us - and I can say most of the Japanese studios have seen the importance of going multi-platform, and our studio as well... I think we're now really ready to go multi-platform at once, I mean development cycle wise. I think this will be a normal trend for Japanese studios in the future."
