It's the title that is probably going to throw people off the most; you call it Metal Gear Solid, and you're going to expect the same style. Which it isn't. Changing the title to Metal Gear Rising, would be enough to allow the audience to separate it somewhat.
Gray Fox is a bitchin' character, but he's dead, so I think it's partly a way of giving the gamers the chance to play as one of the franchises most awesome characters.
I like the idea of being able to hide above and below, and I really liked the video they showed of slashing everything. Though, the fact they are openly focusing the vast majority of their attention on that one mechanic has me a little skeptical that the game might be shallow overall because of it. (A sequel might be better if that happens, as they'll have that aspect worked out already, they'll focus more attention to the story)
Personally; I'm going to give it a chance, I won't buy it full price, but I'm going to be open about it, and not slam it before playing it...Like a lot of 'fans' seem to be irrationally doing already.
