Kamiya Not Working on Metal Gear Rising

So there have been a few rumors flying around that Platinum games will be making the next Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Rising. Well it seems those rumors have been put to rest; while the studio has been confirmed to be a part of the project, Bayonetta lead Hideki Kamiya has tweeted:

“Hey everyone, I said 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times that I have nothing to do with Metal Gear Rising.”

So it looks like this game won’t be as much like Bayonetta as many of you had hoped. Oh well, hopefully they don’t butcher the franchise to badly. I kind of like the staple of a slow stealthy pace that the MGS franchise has been known for.
