The Future Of The Metal Gear Solid Franchise

A remake of MGS 1-4 in a MGS Collection game is possible on PS3 because Bluray can support that capacity.

They got what they wanted with MGS4. And when they loose previously exclusive IPs, they usually do it on purpose and get the exclusive rights to new IPs from that publisher or developer.

They did it with GTA and I'm pretty sure they did it with Square. The only reason they didn't secure this game, is because they probably have something else from Konami in the works.

The fruits of Sony's third-party labors will not begin to show unit next year or so.

[JokesOnYou]

Time to change those "Raiden" avatars, he's no longer popular on n4g.

lol, at the BS downplaying blogs written by bitter n4g members, So now the highly praised honorable Kojima-san, will be described as a guy who cannot decline an invitation, a helpless obscure developer who was "forced" to appear on stage to introduce his next game for micro because of course Kojima had NO choice but to do micro's evil bidding, I predicted the extremists would turn on Kojima, its not a day old and its already starting.

JOY

[eelnats2000]

but this article was pretty sad.

I mean, sure its always great when games go multiplatform, that way, more people can play an amazing game. But when I read "kojima had a gun to his head and a sack full of cash to silence him", it made me really sad that this happens.

"business is business"
NO. that shouldnt happen. The creator of a franchise should WANT his/her game to go multiplatform, not be FORCED to..

Even though the result is a good thing: a game going multiplatform.
the way it got there was MONEY. and thats never a good thing.

[Shenzilbur]

I'm just glad it wasn't exclusive to 360 when it was announced. I'm fine with it being multi platform as I have friends with 360s so they'd end up playing it. But I still want to actually be able to play the game as I absolutely love the Metal Gear series. If anything its a financial problem when it comes to exclusivity and as a proud Communist all I can do is chuckle and watch as companies fight over things like this.

[SaberEdge]

Communist? In a truly communist country you likely wouldn't even be able to enjoy a console like the PS3. It simply wouldn't get made.

[RememberThe357]

It's not his fault. Many people don't know what Communism actually is. There are two definition that I know of, on being a political science definition and one being an economic definition.

I'm pretty sure that, economically, there has never been a true communist state.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

com·mu·nism 1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.

1. a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.

http://dictionary.reference...

[Shenzilbur]

Communist getting by under capitalism. I'd rather live in a truly anarcho communist society which is something no one has ever heard of. Its a strong ideology and belief system that I hold dear.

[ShabzS]

just nailed it there ... you guys can get really pathetic at times ... lets not degrade kojima coz he chose to bring his creation for everyone to experience...

[gambare]

The games are supposed to be inventive and innovative, but now they are considered a marketing business, I'm afraid I will see them die in a few years passing from fun entertainment to graphical commercials of big companies.

I know I'm going to be hated more from the American loyalists that support Microsoft, but thanks to people like Mart, PP Droid Smasha etc. I understand is some kind of racism because Microsoft and Xbox360 are american brands unlike Sony that are Japanese brands, but when Microsoft entered the Gaming media with the first Xbox it was obvious that this corporation was focused in bastardize the Gaming purpose, the games are slowly becoming a chore with no fun at all. Many would say "Hey! you are crazy, I enjoy gears" but I have seen kids in front of a monitor talking to Anonymous online friends unlike my times when me and my real life friends made reunions the weekends with soda and fries and spent hours playing like a big party.

I dare Mart and the other Xbox fans to tell me that I'm wrong and why I'm wrong and why is better to have your "friends" online instead reunite and have a great time together.

In a closed interview Kojima pointed this and said he was sad because he was forced to work on a console made by a monopolist brand that only cared about money and cheated the gamers into something that will destroy the videogames... too bad I couldn't record it and is even worse that maybe that talk will be never show.

[kewlkat007]

Yeah I've noticed....

We will see what Sony gets today. I know something is coming to them. That will be the most popular avatar.

[table]

we'll never turn on Kojima JOY. We will however hate on the evil MS a whole lot more ;)

I'm just so dissapointed MGS has to be downgraded for the crapbox. The greatest video game series of all time deserves better tbh.

[cmrbe]

This is something you and your likes will never understand.

What have we learned from GTA, DMC, RE, FF?.

and yet you call yourself a gamer.Sad

[UltimateIdiot911]

Right on, Kojima is still a highly respectable developer in my book.

I hate how everyone say multiplatform is a good thing because more people can enjoy the game. While that is true, I argue it's a bad thing because quality is lost and the potential of the game is never truly reach. When I pay that 60, I expect the best effort of the developers.

@cmbre
Yeah, DMC4 was terrible and GTA4 was a huge disappointment. Makes me want to throw up at ideas of certain franchise going multiplatform. So far, I haven't seen anything positive out of it. Until I see a franchise going multiplatform while remaining great, any great franchise going multi will most likely disappoint.

[gaffyh]

@cmrbe - damn man I never thought of it that way, dunno about FF, but GTA4, DMC4 and RE5 were all the worst games in their respective series. But at least DMC4 and RE5 were enjoyable.

[cmrbe]

But these kids don't understand.

For some reason they think that gaming is better if every game goes mulit-plat in that more gamers get to experience it but the question is at what cost?.

If we follow this logic then we better off having one console for each gen and then we will see no innovation,no variety, no competition and bland game expereince.

This is the same reason why i didn't want NG2 or ME2 or Bioshock to go multi-plat. I want those devs to develop the best possible game they can on the x360 and remain true to their vision of their games.

Gamers knows that if they want to experience every games availiable they have to get all the consoles to expereince them. Thats the way it should be.

The evidence is there. Going multi-plat cheapens the expereince and any true gamer will not want that to happen.

[Gamertags]

is a complete dumb@ss! Nice work on publishing your first article on this site. We accept even the likes of you here!

As for Metal Gear, we all knew it was coming and now, the 360 is truly complete. What games does Sony hold dear that are no 1st party?

I am blessed to have both systems.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

You know everybody talks about how innovation is lost when games go multi-platform. The only thing at best that I see different from an exclusive game and a multi-platform game is at times the graphics. That is it!

Tell me what else? The Sixaxis motion control? For the most part, the 360 and PS3 is extremely similar to the user. PS3 might have blu-ray, standard hard drive and wi-fi, but reality is that almost none of that have any real bearing on game play apart from graphics (and even at that).

I think this generation is the first time I have seen so many whiners unite to b!tch about nothing.

[JokesOnYou]

"Jokes
This is something you and your likes will never understand."

lol, there are plenty of multiplat games that are just as good as your precious sony exclusives and 360 exclusive too. You sony extremists are the only ones who believe anything NOT exclusive to the ps logo is garbage or would be so much better if it were, NO the time/money/resources/type of game/talent of devs all have alot more to do with a games quality vs the platform its on.

-Your posts is just the bitter empty screams of a loyal sony extremist desperately grasping and clinging on to baseless complaints because somehow good news for 360 hurts your feelings.

@stewgart, honestly I hope you're right on this one, but why then are some portraying Kojima as being some noob dev forced to do what he's told, I mean this is the same guy thats been touted for sticking to his principles and is well respected in the industry, surely if he doesn't want to do something then Kojima would just say No Thank You(in Japanese perhaps) and either way if you do your homework he has said in the past he wants to make a game on 360.

JOY

[darthv72]

If this game is about raiden and doesnt center around solid snake and is classified as a spin off. What would you classify snake eater? It centered around naked snake instead of solid so wouldnt that be a spin off too?

For the rabid fans who say it has to be all about "solid" that means the first and second metal gear games on the NES, metal gear solid on PS1 and solid 2 for ps2 and solid 4 for ps3 as the games with "solid" as the key character.

Oh..I forgot portable ops and acid. Yet I have not played either of those so I dont know what bearing they have on the solid storyline.

Spin off or not, rising should be given the respect it deserves from the fans of the franchise.

[Jaces]

I still love Kojima as much today than before.

It is silly though to see fanboys rave how they have the MGS franchise....the only thing you have from this well known franchise is one game.

When I see MGS 1-4 on the XBOX, then you guys can scream your hearts out. But till then I'm going to sit back and laugh at your "victories" and enjoy MGS: Rising.

[KaBaW]

Just because he was offered money, if that is the case, he didn't have to accept it..
Just like bribing a judge.. Some will accept, others will not.
Or a trade in the NFL.. A team may accept the terms, but the player may not.

Just because you are offered something does not mean you are Forced to accept it.

[qface64]

how would a mgs collection of 1-4 fit on a blu ray didn't mgs4 alone fill up the whole 50 gigs?

i dunno about the rest of you but id still like a remake of the original 2 or at least a sequel to portable ops
portable ops plus didn't count that was basically an expansion

[Kain81]

o_~

[gamehistoryx]

Yes , there is something called compression.

The only reason MGS4 was compressed was to relieve decoding strain on the GPU. Anybody with a degree in computer science can tell you that anything digitally can be compressed. Running uncompressed audio when they could have easily compressed to PCM(DVD) or MP3. Also the texture could have been compressed.

MGS4 was not compressed because it was not needed because it could fit in the Bluray disc and uncompressed data does not require as much processing power as compressed.

And they have already developed a quad-layer (100GB) Bluray ready for commercial use.

In December 2008, Pioneer Corporation unveiled a 400 GB Blu-ray Disc, which contains 16 data layers, 25 GB each, and will be compatible with current players after a firmware update. A planned launch is in the 2009-2010 time frame for ROM and 2010-2013 for rewritable discs. Ongoing development is under way to create a 1 TB Blu-ray Disc as soon as 2013.

[qface64]

ahh ok i get what your saying so they could still push out more space if they wanted to then that's pretty cool

but i don't see em doing a collection any time soon

[theEnemy]

Something is very wrong at that sentence.

Go figure.

:)

[Natsu89]

@ theenemy:

You mean "remake"?^^
Yeah thats totaly wrong, and yeah i think its possible to fit everything on 100gb bluray. Mg 1-2 +MGS 1-4, maybe ops too? or even soundtracks and theater like in mgs 3? would be realy nice^^

[gamehistoryx]

MGS Collection was rumored a few weeks ago as "MGS Orange Box"

It would not be a suprised if reveal tomorrow for PS3

[gamehistoryx]

I know Hideo Kojima feels some guilt about MGS on Xbox 360. I have no doubt that he will reveal a MGS game for the PS3 tomorrow.

[Droid Smasha]

More droid tears... yes YESSS MORE.... let me hear you weep

[Montreafart]

ROFL what a letdown MSs E3 conference was. And as expected, they didnt had any real games to show for. More halo spin offs. Left4dead 2 already announced when the game is merely 6 months old? Lol, my stupid bot friend, let me tell you that they just renamed Left4dead DLC as L4D2 and charge you the full retail price for it. Hahaha sucker.

Alan vaporware, the game that was supposed to be the groundbreaking Killzone2 graphics killer, rofl. That piece of shiat is now OFFICIALLY VAPORWARE. You told us to wait, we waited and Alan failed. Time to wake up like Alan, bot.

FF13 premiered on the box and it looks like shiat compared to the PS3 demo. The limitations of the box shown yet again.

Splinter cell looks like crap. They tried to tell you that they didnt scrap the plans, models, designs of the table. But the whole game looks different now so who the fk are they kidding. And it still looks like shiat.

MGS rising, a MGS spin off, for PS3, 360 and PC. Depending on how this turns out, I may or may not get it. But watch the real MGS franchise game announced for the PS3 only TODAY, stupid bot.

Modern warfare 2, so you get 9 days of timed exclusiveness for the maps. ROFL whats that gonna do. You bet your ass MS asked them for exclusiveness and Infinity ward looked at PS3 sales and said, fk you MS. We give you 9 days for the DLC. Thats all we can do. Hahaha.

EPICs "big" announcement turned out to be an ARCADE game. Again, where are the titles boy. Youre stuck with nothing but rehashes and trash.

Forza 3 is shiat compared to the real deal, GT5. And everyone knows it. I love how the guy went on stage and went apeshit, repeating himself over and over again trying to convince the crowd how Forza 3 has no competition with over 400 cars (GT4 already had 500 cars rofl).

And the crowd knew he was lying and didnt clap at the end. ROFL talk about humiliation.

Again, where are the games turd. Honestly, it seems like 360 has run out of steam. The little bit of exclusives they can secure, are limited to small time, irrelevant, DLC content.

Natal is vaporware. If you are willing to spend 200 bucks so you can wave your arms around for YOURE IN THE MOVIES, LIPS and that kind of mini casual crap, then be my guess. You cant use it to play Halo or Gears anyway. ROFL OWNED.

What has Sony in store? Listen buddy, take a look at this list and behold the meaning of AWESOMENESS. Now those are REAL GAMES.

Uncharted 2
God of war 3
MAG
Heavy Rain
MGS exclusive title
WhiteKnighchronicles

Listen buddy, you have been outmatched. I love how that little guy from MS took a stab at Nintendo and said, "we are going to show nothing but games and no charts"

Thats funny considering Sony was the only one who did that last year and MS didnt do kahoopie last year. And the bots claimed MS "won" last year. If thats so, then why are they copying Sony's approach?

All your filthy lies are getting exposed everyday, bots.

As for this pathetic article of an article. Why would there be a remake of MGS4? Whats that gonna do. Look the same? Do these people actually make any sense. And MGS2 looks damn fine last time I played it on my PC.

Do you enjoy the prostitution of Gaming and be turned into a low quality business model? well.... I guess you got used to boring, repetitive non inventive games.

[MajesticBeast]

Mask i think will make us change the outlook on games he did it with metal gear and now he gonna do it with a new ip for the ps3.

Edit: phantom disagreeer show yourself you pos.

[jackdoe]

? MGS: Rising is a PS3 game as well. There is so much evidence up the wazoo for this and yet people still think it is a 360 exclusive. Jesus christ. It is multiplatform. Why the hate?

-edit- Phantom disagrees are stupid. Seriously, there is so much evidence that it will bite you on the ass.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

kojimas not pleased with this game going to the 360 so why should I and plus we're getting Metal Gear Solid 5 and not some spin-off. Every sequel to the MGS series has had a number after the main title which further proves that MGS:Rising is just a spinoff.

Sony's E3's going to be awesome just watch!

[saimcheeda]

hahahaha!!!and we are getting rising at some point coz it was never said to be exclusive!!!

[Montreafart]

The teaser site hints was deciphered days ago by some dude at gametrailers. And it showed:

MGS:R for PS3, 360 and PC.

Now that MGS rising is confirmed for 360, its only logical that the poster was correct and MGSR is also for PC and PS3.

The real interesting aspect, is that MG for PSP is confirmed and they said "interactivity" with PS3. How is that going to work out, if there is not another game for the PS3 aswell? I dont see how unless PS3 is getting a whole new game.

[gamehistoryx]

MGS: Rising is probably Multi Platform

[Omega4]

Still cant believe this happened, with MGS now on the 360 it pretty much confirms that every Metal Gear from here on will make it to MS's platform as well

[kingboy]

lol..Dreaming very much are we? MGS5 will be ONLY ON PLAYSTATION 3

[Mo0eY]

Are you serious?
It's an effin' spinoff... just like the iPhone game. Kojima said it himself - the PS3 is the only way to go this generation. He's only making this multiplatform because I'm sure they get hundreds of emails a day from Bots that cry out for a MGS4. This will shut them up for the time being.

[Omega4]

Guys your living in the past Kojima has sampled a taste of M$'s bottomless pockets and there is no going back now. Just except it that Metal Gear Solid is now officially an Xbox franchise as well

[eelnats2000]

what the meaning of a spinoff is.

this is NOT MGS5.

this will be like every other spinoff.

example:

the show FRIENDS= GOOD. lasted 10 seasons.
the spinoff JOEY= HORRIBLE. lasted a few episodes.

the book HARRY POTTER= GOOD. sold millions
the spinoff TALES OF BEADLE THE BARD= sold few

the game METAL GEAR SOLID= excellent franchise
the spinoff METAL GEAR SOLID TOUCH= lousy spinoff.

you get the picture?
Metal Gear Solid: Rising is a multiplatform Spinoff. dont get your panties up in a bunch.

[SaberEdge]

So, you're saying Metal Gear Solid Rising is going to suck?

If so, why do you PS3 fans want it on the PS3?

Also, would you care to make a bet with me? I bet MGSR will be an outstanding game. Hell, it might even end up being better than MGS4. Nothing is decided yet. It all depends on what Kojima's intentions are for this game. I bet it will be good in any case.

[KKanjiAnkh]

How old are you seriously bro?

Oh no Run DMC did a song w/Aerosmith

Microsoft had MGS2, Onimusha, and Castlevania CoD, who cares, I've been gaming WAY to long to be that fickle. H3!! Metal Gear was on the NES, and MGS1 was remade on GC just like Resident Evil. Oh and guess what Ninja Gaiden was an arcade game, for shame!

[eelnats2000]

NOT saying its gonna suck.
im pretty sure that if kojima really busted his butt on this game, then it'll be good.

what im saying though, is that this is probably not gonna be AS GOOD as lets say, a FULL Metal Gear Solid 5. It wouldnt have detail, story, and more importantly, DEPTH to it as an actual full game. you know what i mean? Sure MGSR will be good, just not the best. And the best will be saved for the system that can take all of that detail and power. And in this case, the PS3.

Also, PS3 users and 360 users ALIKE want this game on their system because it is a hideo kojima game. A lot is riding on this game just from his name alone.

[Omega4]

SaberEdge is right all the PS3 fanboys dont want it to be exclusive and yet they want to be craptastic. They are all doing exactly what they did last year with FFXIII, I cant believe just cause a franchise goes multiplatform you automatically hate it, its just sad and pathetic

[ShabzS]

... dude dont listen to them man they are really pathetic ... after ff xiii went multi they said screw it that game is gonna suck ... ff xiii vs is the true ff game....

just like what they're doing now with mgs r and mgs 5 ... its a pattern ... dont mind em just be happy that you get to play these awsome games..

[eelnats2000]

Shbzshar.

Before metal gear came to the 360, you guys complained that MGS4 was nothing but an "interactive movie" with very little gameplay. You guys too claimed that the game was not worth playing with all the long cutscenes.

And now that MGSR is also for 360, you soon have a change of heart and say that these games are "awesome"?

a little hypocritical of you dont you think?

[ShabzS]

no dude.. pls dont class me in that category ... check out my comment history ... i'm absolutely a fantatic for metal gear 4 .. and have pleaded and begged for it to come to 360 for months and months...that game is sill the best game this generation has to offer and i am dissapointed that it hasnt come to 360 but am rejoiced that atleast a part of it has ...

[Why o why]

good man, some just cant admit it +1 but on your earlier comment I dont agree. I think the versus will be huge but as it stands its an exclusive. I wont downplay the mgs spin off. I actually like the new raiden so ill get both. Anyhow lets see what sony have to offer

[Jaces]

Yea because that's what happened last time when MGS2: Substance came to Xbox a while back.

Go figure. lmao!

[KaBaW]

Yea.. That goes both ways, so don't bring that up, okay? :)
You guys did it for BioShock, then you liked it.. supposedly.
Sales didn't really show that.. But, whateverr.

But, truth is, fanboys hate exclusives, that's the only reason they diss em..

[Mo0eY]

Wow, I'd totally love a remake of 3 on PS3. That'd be wicked awesome. Imagine Uncharted 1/2 environments where you have to sneak around and survive eating animals.

Win.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Yeah, that's what im really, really hoping for.Love that game..

[cmrbe]

is dumb down so that kids can play and understand its story then it will not be MGS anymore.

I really do hope Kojima will not compromise his vision like he did with MGS4 for this new game.

I hope he will use compression for the x360 version an not the PS3. Also i hope for more long cutscenes like in MGS4. If long cutscenes don't fit on DVD he should cut it or put in on a second DVD for the x360 version. Either that or just cut it from the x360 version as x360 fans don't want a movie anyways.

If Kojima compromise then it will be the end of MGS as we know it and will be time for me to move on.

At least as an adult i will still have Cage and Ueda.

dam you kids.

[really duh]

I said this on the night of the may 30th, he'll run up on stage in shame with a secret smile on his face lol.

He was the last of the Japanese Xenophobe developer the pressure must of been great but everybody wants to be like Capcom open and successful. Also fear of their Anime lovin loyalist that will turn on him like rabid dogs.

[KKanjiAnkh]

You do know Capcom is no where near as good without the EX-Clover, and Grasshopper devs.

Capcom's creativity is now non-existent besides LP2.

[RememberThe357]

Hes the f*ckin man! I'd buy that man a beer if I could.

It's not like they took the game from PS3 owners. People will get over it though, just like they did with FF13.

EDIT: @above: Oh, too true.

[Persistantthug]

What kind of beer?

[Fatal Blow]

I had a feeling mgs rising will be on xbox 360 good for u guy's geting it cause it will be a great game and everyone should play it anyway
for the ps3 owner's will be geting a new msg game for the psp and maybe a ps3 mgs not sure yet but u will be geting a new ps3 game so sony thought it was good to go for the new game then the mgs i know it's dumb u think but wait and see what the new game is cause sony don't let a game like this go unless they get something very good or unless they thought it was'nt that good so they went with the new game
everyone is becoming like square enix lol

[Neo604]

base on past interview with hideo.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

I was a little kid when MGS2 hit,and I heard Konami say its exclusive and then they turned around and released it on the xbox.THIS IS NOT MGS4! Its not like Tekken going multi.more like,Tekken staying PS exclusive and Msft getting Death By Degrees.its no biggy.

[really duh]

People are just calling it what Kojima is calling it lol. calm down.

[kewlkat007]

most are excited about instead of the CORE franchise game. Who gets excited for multiplat games? Nobody anymore.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

Lol yes yes I know. Lol.Im just saying, its closer to Dead Space for PS3/360 ,and the Wii's Dead Space extraction.

[Rmagnus]

I am buying it =)

Lol disagree for me wanting to buy it?

[Ngai]

For a second i've read 'The Failure Of The Metal Gear Sold Franchise" instead of The Future Of The Metal Gear Solid Franchise

Raiden is cool. no argue.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

Thing is. . .sequel or prequel? Why would he fight after MGS 4? but. . .if its a prequel,can they make more than 1 game?it would have to tie in with the end of MGS4?

[jackdoe]

I assume it will be a MGS4 prequel which will tie into the title. However, it will be lighter on story which would make it accessible as a both a PS3 and 360 title with little to know prior knowledge necessary.

[krisq]

MS probably said 'Yo, Kojima! Do mgs for 360 or we will deactivate Windows in all of Japan.'
That was so predictable it wasn't even a surprise.
Did you noticed how Kojima reacted when the guy said 'So, whats in store for Solid Snake this time?'. He was so confused. They clearly played him.

[peeps]

'So, whats in store for Solid Snake this time?'

what are you on about... do you not think they said that so it could lead into Kojima saying 'but who said anything about solid snake...' and tada the new game is based on Raiden lol

It only sounded a bit confusing cus Kojima's english isn't great. Usually they have a translator but for this press conference u could see the visual cues at the front of the screen that he was reading off

I'd love to play as Raiden. He's such a bad ass character in MGS4.

I'm hoping that PS3 owners will get MG: Rising as well.

"I'm hoping that PS3 owners will get MG: Rising as well. " despite Konami saying they couldn't comment. It's been listen in their line up of games for E3 as being on PS3, 360 and PC

[Jaces]

I think this'll be round the time Raiden was worked on and enhanced into a cyborg ninja. The story about what happened.

Hope its good.

The EA/Ubisoft part I watched was completely for child, it was boring as fcuk.

LOLOLOLOL.

Where's all your games now droids???? you have nothing on Microsoft, silly little droids.

$ony has been crushed once and for all.

PS3 is dead.

wooooow...

Get a life, please.

See, what bothers me about this mess is that for over a year the xmen have been putting Kojima and his accomplishments down, insulting his greatest game just because they can't play it. I've RARELY seen an xbox fan give Kojima the credit he deserves for mgs4. Now they get an action-game spinoff (which BTW does NOT have the words "tactical" and "espionage" anywhere near it), and now all of a sudden Kojima is a legend to them? I have the feeling that its not the game that the x's are excited about, just the prospect of saying "me too". Anywho, I can't wait to pick this up for my ps3.

[CSM-101e]

you can be certain it will be addressed, in-game, in the future. Albeit very subtly. And it may include a timer. Or two.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

You got a spin-off, that was expected, just like last-gen. Did that work? No. It doesn't matter, now everyone can enjoy.

Sadly for Xtards this won't be as good as MGS4 since Kojima doesn't seem too happy about it. Enjoy the leftovers of Kojima's goodwill.

I just want to know what is up with the picture of Big Boss. No one has explained what Naked Snake has to do with anything.

MGS series is about idealism of a game creator. Not for making business. Thats it! The business comes the second thing when its a MGS game!

Kojima dont need MGS games for making money! What ever he makes we all buy thats all!

In the and...

Its only about idealism. Kojima and Konami are allready rich for 15 years. They not money hunger like EA!

[slak]

Business is business

I been playing Metal Gear since the first on the NES back in the 1988. Is time to take the franchise in a different way. Once they make Halo 13th you will feel that sometimes you need to put some characters away for a while. Raiden is very welcomed!!!!

[ProperFunked]

they went the kakashi route with his look...wow..omg, bandana over one eye. where the originality...gesh. i'll still buy it cuz im a MGS fanboy,

[Allowen]

The MGS 3.4 for the PSP might be fun and maybe PS3 will still see MGS5 as an exclusive.

[j0ltspidah88]

i don't understand where some of these people are getting "only we get msg5..... on ps3!!" I'm pretty sure they acquired the franchise not just 1 game, at least that's what i perceive from they saying franchise in the presentation.
