The only new parts of Jetstream are the story cutscenes, which features a few snippets of fresh dialogue from Monsoon and the senator. Remember the sewer? What about the helipad? The pagoda? Well, you get to visit all of those places again! Along the way, you will fight the exact same enemies, including three boss fights that are just recycled from the base game – Blade Wolf, Metal Gear RAY, and the senator. The only way you get stronger is through some bumps to your health and blade mode meters. You don’t get to purchase any upgrades or new abilities, so the move list is the same at the end as the beginning. Sam’s arsenal isn’t very big when you first begin, and it stays that way. The moves you use may be slightly different, but it’s the same song and dance. You still want to hack away at bad guys, block their attacks, and wait for the opportunity to chop them up in Blade Mode. Sam is a badass, and his quick draw moves are cool, but that isn't enough. While these are neat additions, they don’t drastically alter your approach to combat.
For instance, he has a regular dodge roll, can charge his heavy attacks, and has a double-jump. The main reason to play Jetstream is to experience playing as Sam, who has a slightly different approach to combat than Raiden.
Setting my issues with the Rising’s core gameplay (of which I have several), Jetstream is just a shameless cash-grab. Unfortunately, Jetstream is a disappointment on every level. No dates have been given for the Sam or LQ-84i DLC.Jetstream Sam is the closest thing to an actual character in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, so I was looking forward to seeing what new tricks he brings to battle, and how this DLC expands on his backstory. The VR pack also has a wooden sword that talks like Solid Snake, which is pretty weird. It'll be PS3-exclusive when it first hits America, and will come to Xbox 360 shortly after. Platinum's VR mission DLC will hit Japan in April at ¥300 / £2. There will be a third DLC pack that makes robotic dog LQ-84i playable. Whether this is just a character skin or VR mission avatar remains to be seen, but Platinum posted two images of him in action: Also, Snake's back! (Sort of).Īn update on Platinum's site has been translated by Metal Gear Solid TV, and reveals that the game will be getting more DLC beyond the first pack of 30 new VR missions.īoss JetStream Sam looks like he'll become playable in some form. Platinum Games has detailed new content packs that will let you play as JetStream Sam and LQ-84i - the first boss that kicked many asses in the game's demo. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has a busy DLC slate moving forwards.
