GamersBliss.com had the opportunity to attend the official Los Angeles launch event for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. The launch event took place at Universal City Walk, Hollywood. Fans lined up to wait for a signing by Producers, Yuji Korekado and Atsushi Inaba, as well as, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance swag. Fans were able to get a limited edition game insert, a collector’s art book and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance shirts signed by both of the producers at Gamestop. After the signing, 150 fans and several VIPs were invited to attend the exclusive launch party next door at Hard Rock Café. At the launch party there was an open bar featuring drinks themed from the game. Free food and beverages were also available. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance’s musical composer, Jamie Christopherson, preformed at the event as well. There were raffles and other giveaways. As the party ended, Gamestop reopened at midnight in order for fans to receive the game. As a special preorder bonus for this launch event, anyone who preorder and attend the event were able to get a MGS4 Raiden skin.

Gosh, I know I am going to hate myself for saying this but, “HEY! That is me on the bottom with the Konami Shirt!” like a fanboy. It was a pleasure meeting you both and keep up the good work on your site here. Next up, Comic Con perhaps?
