=== The game contains the following tropes: ===
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Raiden's cut-anything sword returns. Early trailers showed it slicing straight through men, stone columns, and watermelons with equal ease. The [[Platinum Games]] build allows Raiden to hack up entire Metal Gears.
* [[An Arm and a Leg]]: Various viral marketing materials imply that Raiden had his left arm amputated during a battle. A gameplay scene from the Pre-E3 show reveals that he lost it during the battle with Sam.
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Raiden
* [[Alien Blood]]: As seen in ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', Raiden's blood is actually artificial and white in colour. This is due to his body being almost completely cybernetic; as such, the cyborg enemies in ''Rising'' also have white blood.
** The VGA trailer shows off cyborgs who bleed a dark red oil. If the viral marketing materials as well as a brief gameplay clip shown during an interview with the staff at ''Rising'' is anything to go by, Raiden will also have used the same oil. Justified, as the game takes place nine years after ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'', so advancements in Cyborg Technology would be expected down to the "blood" used.
* [[Bullet Time]]: What Blade Mode basically is.
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: [[Never Trust a Trailer|Judging from what information has been released]], a large part of the game's concept is cutting the player's enemies apart at angles they choose.
** Cranked [[Up to Eleven]] with Platinum Games's build, which is even more gratuitously gory than the KojiPro prototype. To give you an idea, a shot of the trailer consists of Raiden slashing a soldier's body for five seconds, each cut leaving a visible mark, before a final cut up and bursts the poor fellow into a hundred bloody bits. [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Comepletely unnecessary after the first cut?]] Perhaps. [[Rule of Cool|Incredibly cool]]? Hell. Yes.
* [[Cool Bike]] Sam's tricked out Harley.
* [[Cool Car]] Raiden uses a customized car during the game. Since Metal Gear isn't that kind of game it gets destroyed.
* [[Clean Cut]]: Just about anything Raiden's sword slices will be cut through with a perfectly straight slice.
* [[Corrupt Politician]]/[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: A leaked conversation from Colorado Senator and current 2020 Presidential candidate Steven Armstrong with his speech writer has him basically talking about the boost in his approval rating in such a way that implied that he conned the populace by putting a "spin" on things. On the other hand, the speech also implies that he genuinely wants to restore America as the sole world superpower, albeit by instigating a new American Revolutionary War.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Quite a bit. Some of them used to be Pre-order Bonuses. A full list available here. [[http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Rising:_Revengeance/Downloadable_Content]]
* [[Engineered Public Confession]]: Assuming that the conversation on http://waronourshores.com/ from Senator Steven Armstrong was actually leaked as the video description implies, this trope might play a part in the game for the Senator.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: If you want to get everything your going to need one.
* [[Finishing Move]]: Executions and Zandatsu.
* [[Flying Mook]]: The cyborgs equipped with Sliders and the Hammerheads.
* [[Genre Shift]]: The first installment of the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series to be an [[Action Game]] rather than a [[Stealth Based Game]]; and to top it off Platinum Games seem to have taken some cues from the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' games.
** Taking cues? It is pretty much a true [[Spiritual Successor]] to the series since the head of the game created the series to begin with.
* [[Gory Deadly Overkill Title of Fatal Death]]: Revenge with a Vengeance. Revengeance.
* [[Here We Go Again]]: The Demo for Revengeance will be bundled, once again, with the [[Zone of The Enders]] HD Collection.▼
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Raiden, of all people, has become this. ▼
▲* [[Here We Go Again]]: The Demo for Revengeance will be bundled, once again, with the Zone of The Enders HD Collection.
* [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You]]: In previous ''[[Metal Gear]]'' installments, the player has to hide from the enemy. In this game, enemies actually hide from the player, although namely because they intend to ambush the player, according to a podcast.
** Before ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' was released, ''Zone of Enders'' came with a demo of MGS2. The ''Zone of Enders HD Collection'' comes with a demo of ''Rising''.
* [[
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: Sam's Murasama after fully upgrading it. Also the Fox Blade DLC, the sword used by Gray Fox in [[Metal Gear Solid]]
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: High Frequency Blades in this form are used by most of the enemy mooks, and Metal Gear RAY's "arms" have been equipped with massive heat blades.
* [[Lensman Arms Race]]: According to the first trailer for the Platinum Games version, troops outfitted with cyborg parts have been on the rise in the global community.▼
** Sam's Murasama is a [[Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age|centuries old Katana]] Upgraded to a High Frequency Blade.
▲* [[Lensman Arms Race]]: According
* [[Le Parkour]] The other ability of [[Super Speed|Ninja Run]]
* [[Liquid Assets]]: "Yes, enemy cyborgs should have plenty of electrolytes once you... 'extract' their fluids."
* [[Mega Corp]]: World Marshal is one. Though no where near the same level as the Patriots or Liquid were during Guns of the Patriots.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: Variation: when Sam (the Vamp-lookalike cyborg ninja) attacks Maverick, one of the soldiers wonders if Sam was a member of one of their competing [[PMS Cs]]. A female analyst then stated that the data access on Sam came up, and he was apparently unaffiliated with any of their competitors.▼
* [[Ninja Run]]: Used by Bladewolf, Sam & Raiden. However they don't use the bird arms stance. Though why Bladewolf doesn't is obvious.
▲* [[Not Me This Time]]: Variation: when Sam (the Vamp-lookalike cyborg ninja) attacks Maverick, one of the soldiers wonders if Sam was a member of one of their competing [[
* [[President Evil]]: Possibly, Steven Armstrong, kind of. He was a senator at the time that speech was leaked, and recent presidential posters plastered over various schools in real life hinting at the game imply that he was a candidate for the 2020 Presidency. It's also implied that he's involved in the activities of the enemy group, Desperado Enforcement LLC.▼
* [[Origins Episode]] The DLC chapters for Sam and Bladewolf.
* [[Pacifist Run]]: [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better|Done by using a wooden sword]]. That the player has to buy with Battle Points. [[Inverted Trope|Upgrading it makes it weaker]].
▲* [[President Evil]]:
* [[Private Military Contractor]]: Desperado is the more traditional use of the trope (ie, supporting terrorists and criminals, and overall being evil). Maverick (the group Raiden is a member of), is a more beneficial and protagonistic use of the trope, similar to the Militaires Sans Frontieres in ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]''.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: In the original concept
** Blade Wolf serves this purpose during the course of the game.
▲* [[Robot Buddy]]: In the original concept (and possibly in the [[Platinum Games]] version), Raiden is teamed up with Kogekko, a [[Fun Size]] version of the ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'' Dwarf Gekkos (ak.a. Scarabs).
* [[Rule of Cool]]:
** Let's not forget to mention that after he throws it, he jumps up on it as it is falling, runs along its wing as he slices it with his sword, ''and then jumps up and slices it in half.'' Yeah.
** The title itself - "''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance''." One would assume that means the rise of the Metal Gear army, but there's nothing on the surface that could justify the word "Revengance" other than it '''''sounds bloody awesome when you say it'''''!
* [[Saved From Development Hell]]: The game was cancelled before Platinum Games got involved.
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: Seems to be the main theme of the game.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: The
* [[Shout-Out]]: Shortly after Raiden kicked a soldier into a black car hard enough to nearly flip the car over and [[That Poor Car|set off the car alarm]] in the VGA 2011 trailer, Raiden says "Too easy!" in a voice that sounded very similar to [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], shortly before [[Family-Unfriendly Death|cutting the soldier up into salami]].
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The combat has a strong resemblance to [[Platinum Games]]' Bayonetta.
Line 65 ⟶ 70:
* [[Stock Subtitle]]: ''Rising'', at least initially. The 2011 VGA trailer appears to indicate that ''Rising'' has replaced ''Solid'' in the title, with the game now using ''Revengeance'' as the subtitle.
* [[The Stool Pigeon]]: Going by the comments made by the black soldier when he was torturing a soldier in the "Sword" trailer, apparently the soldier the black guy was interrogating that soldier because the latter was suspected of leaking their strategic information to the enemy.
* [[Super Speed]]: Raiden has the ability to run extremely quickly
** Also used by Sam and Bladewolf.
* [[Sword and Gun|Sword and]] [[BFG]] The sub weapon system allows Raiden to carry a Sword and a Rocket Launcher in each hand.
* [[Take That]]: Armstrong gives one to the Tea Party Movement in the leaked conversation on http://waronourshores.com/.
* [[That Poor Car]]: At one point in the VGA 2011 trailer, Raiden kicked an enemy soldier so hard, it triggered a car alarm on the black car behind them upon impact.
Line 74 ⟶ 81:
** Actually, If the pre E3 Konami press conference is anything to go by, the Predatory stealth is still in there. It's just a little more on the aggressive side (like slicing through a pillar to get the unsuspecting soldier behind, backflipping off a building for a foot stab stealthkill or dropping a ferris wheel on them)
* [[You Look Familiar]]: The designs for the Mastiff enemies (the hulking cyborgs with the cannon attached to their right arm) were reused from concept artwork from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'' that was originally meant to be the designs for the Beauty and the Beast Unit.
** Also, Sam
