Im a big fan of the MGS series, and as such I was pretty excited to see Raiden get his propers as a playable character, and redeem his uber gayness from MGS2. 
 
With that said, it seems like there's no action about this at all..  
 
Im just wondering how this game is moving along... the e3 trailer was cool, and tech demo-y but seriously... 
 
what about the story.. context, etc... 
 
Hopefully this game isnt a total flop

I'm thinking it's slated for 2012, and we may see the first of the new news about it come E3/TGS.

There's no news because... there's no news. 
 
Might I suggest freezing yourself until E3 rolls around?

I checked the big book of release dates at my local GameStop and it's apparently scheduled for November 2nd of this year.  I actually looked it up earlier this year, and at that time if I'm not mistaken it said it was coming out in June, so it got pushed back, I guess release dates can change all the time.  But I seriously can't wait.  I was a fan of Raiden even when everyone hated him in MGS2.  He had proven himself by the end of that game.  He may be androgynous, but he's a fucking badass, which is thoroughly confirmed in MGS4.  I want to control this unstoppable killing machine.
 
I want to cut everything and everyone apart.  The storyline of the MGS series is one of the few interesting and engaging game stories for me, and there was always such emphasis on the games as a narrative form.  Yet, I don't really care about that right now.  If it's as fun as it looked in that really brief trailer, then I'm all in.  If the story is interesting like all the other games, then that will of course be awesome too.

You can cut watermelons to 0.5 degree precision, what else do we need to know?

come on, its a game which selling point so far has been slicing fruit from different angles. If thats the only core gameplay feature they are trying to sell us, that game will tank harder than the Titanic.

I really hope we get to see something at E3. The first MGS game I played was 4 and I loved it. Although I'm more interested in the gameplay, that trailer looked really fun.

Fortunately, you can also slice people from different angles. If nothing else, that aspect alone will appeal to the Postal crowd. "

I don't get what happened to this game.  EB Games was taking preorders for it last summer saying it was coming out in January 2011.  Is this just going to be absolute shit?  How have they not released any news about in over half a year?

Because they don't want to release news it must mean the game is shit. Nice logic.

A lot of games don't have any info until close to release and theres always somebody that says that, and it's just silly.

They revealed it a year too early I think.

This is a bit A-Typical for Kojima Productions. Just look at the hype train the created in the run up to MGS4.
