Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's launch trailer cut by Hideo Kojima himself

Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima delivers a nearly seven-minute launch trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the game co-developed by Kojima Productions and Platinum Games.

Kojima's signature style is on display in what may be Revengeance's final trailer, with a heavy dose of wordplay interspersed between footage from throughout the game. Viewers should be mindful of minor spoilers, as Kojima's cut takes footage from key boss fights and cut scenes, which is then set to music from composer Thomas Bergensen.
