It's in the extended trailer.

Around the 2-minute mark onwards. It's also confirmed that the alert system and cardbox boxes are back too.
I don't consider that much stealth, but I guess it's better than nothing. I really forgot about that trailer too. I know I might be in the minority, but I was expecting the game to be a bit more MGS and less DMC/Bayonetta.

:
Raiden has always had deep-seated issues with his violent childhood in Liberia. He was forced to become a more emotionless killer through virtual reality indoctrination, resulting in his state in MGS2. However if you pay attention to his dialogue, it's made clear that he's still pretty fragile and even flipped out at Rose on one occasion. In MGS4, he's been cut up and badly misshapen by the cyborg job the Patriots did on him.
Solidus didn't help either in MGS2, bringing all the memories and turn them even more present than they were. I like the progression that Raiden had in MGS2, but in MGS4, it felt forced and uninspired, more like a reason to make Raiden a badass than anything.

:
The plot of MGR is that he works as a cyborg security provider in a small independent nation. He does this to provide for his family. He doesn't go by Jack as a name and decided on Raiden, and followed Snake's philosophy of his own name and his own future. He talks at length about ideals and philosophy in the Codec conversations at the start of MGR (you can see these in the demo). However, it all goes pear-shaped when his body is completely destroyed in a surprise attack, resulting in the PMC's suspicious cybernetics expert, Herr Doktor giving him a brand new body that requires neural updating from his memories, resulting in a reawakening of his brutal childhood past in much more vivid recollections.

The new body's makeup starts to destablize Raiden's mind as the game goes on, resulting in his latent child soldier psychopath, Jack the Ripper, to start re-emerging. He starts to freak out more and more as you play through, however according to speculation and some comments from the company, doing a kill or no-kill run will affect this, and also Sunny the computer genius is appearing so who knows how far it will go.
Hmmm, I actually didn't knew that, since MGR don't appeal me that much...I will still try it out. If it's at least great, I'll support it, but I'll have my expectations low. We'll see.
