Hideo Kojima updates us on the possibility of doing Metal Gear Solid 5

"Paul Gale Network reveals that at the Tokyo Game Show, Hideo Kojima just spoke about possibly doing MGS 5."

[Hyrius]

Do it only on Dreamcast.

[MrAwesome]

Kojima, just create the game already

[Joule]

it is only possible on ps3

[TheLastGuardian]

Why didn't they tell us exactly what he said. I wan't to know so we can know how likely it is. This isn't the first time he's talked about it so I wouldn't doubt it if MGS5 was in developement right now. It better be PS3 exclusive.

[DORMIN]

Ummm....anyone look at the source?

Look at the website name and the source of this info. =/

[KimberlyHopr]

That's all any of us want.
I have enjoyed MGS games since the PSOne version (and then went back and played them for NES) and it's one of my favorites. This is nice to hear.

[Megaton]

Do not want. I doubt he wants it either. He wanted to be done with MGS years ago. I don't want it because MGS4 wrapped up everything beautifully. Where do they go from here? More metrosexual Raiden? A new character? Unless it's a prequel starring The Boss, I want him to work on something else.

[goosepoose]

i wish that one day this man would stop telling us about what he eats. because wacking off to his words about his favourite dishes is getting dull. its been years now, and he continually just says absolutely nothing. yet you guys (not me, i know better than to encourage this sadistic man) continue to praise him for the tiniest, most ambiguous news ever. He treats us worse than capcom, where is the mgs 4 dlc, not just stinky poo scented costumes. you the director make it happen.

but nopey dopey, kojima-san man tells us what he eats. and thats more than enough. right. fuck you man. FUCK YOU.

[knightdarkbox]

So basically they're saying, they're gonna milk the franchise is with MGS.

It'll be like MG/S series, sOLiD Snake's adventure ended with MGS 4, but they're making prequels about Big Boss and spin-offs featuring a different Snake and Raiden.

it's one thing I hate, it's the milking of a franchise. What corrupts game producers is that they just don't know..

[PsERSONA]

you can't do that! the future will be changed! you'll create a time paradox!

[newhumanbreed]

Snakes adventure didn't end with MGS4. If you watch after the end credits, Snake hints at a sequel by saying he has one last thing to do, and Otacon suggests that he goes with him to be a witness.

[Mr Tretton]

@ newhumanbreed

SPOILERS!!!

hmm, I remember Snake just saying he needs to see his old age through, instead of suicide like he was going to do. And he wants Octacon to tell his story. Solid Snake is done. He's rapidly dying.

[Apotheosize]

While I agree with you milking a franchise is pretty lame, Solid Snakes been in 2 games where hes the main character, not counting Metal Gear1/2. Maybe he should remake those

[madara0sama]

Milking franchises is indeed lame but when you can make an epic game from it, it isn't lame.

[A Cupcake for Gabe]

knightdarkbox?

Is it cool that Wars, ODST, & Reach are prequels and spinoffs?

If you ever played the MGS series you understand why people say the things they do. This is a deep community.

[madao]

According to Famitsu http://www.famitsu.com/news...
During TGS2010 MGS Cosplay Camp event, Kojima shouted the following:
"Five!"
"Let's do five?!"
"Now I won't be able to quit/retire from Konami (LOL), for another 3 years."

[MidnightGamer9]

Ok maybe. But really anything from the man is good to hear!

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Yes, I hope so.
But I wonder how is gonna to proceed with the Story.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[fuckitimout]

ea should work on mgs5

[Pootangpie]

FACT

[Bethany]

I suppose stranger things have happened in the industry.

[fnixrebrn]

Kojima, just make the game already and make it for the ps3... woot.

[Solid_Snakeps3]

lol, Kojima... he does this so he can hype the game for free... now that's efficient the man's a genius

[LtSkittles]

MGS:PW is MGS5

[BannedForNineYears]

So is Portable Ops, amirite?

Kojima refers to a lot of his titles as "MGS 5".

[LtSkittles]

No, Kojima said PW was originally MGS5

[BYE]

Oh yeah? And MGS Touch for iPhone is MGS6?

I don't buy this PW = MGS5 thing. There needs to be another game on a real console, not portable.

[LtSkittles]

http://kotaku.com/5478831/m...

"Peace Walker no longer carries the "5", but for Konami, the title lives up to its the number. "This game is an MGS5-class game," Hideo Kojima stated in July 2009. "I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team."

[TheLastGuardian]

We'd all like to see another MGS on consoles but Peace Walker is a fine game. Don't underestimate the power of the PSP.

[A Cupcake for Gabe]

I am pretty sure the reason PW is on PSP is cause Kojima said the team is upgrading their engine for the next wave of games. So castlevania and rising should be the last of that current engine and the next games will utilize a newer one.

Don't quote me but I'm 99% sure this is the case.

[RobinGB]

indont think so....

[disturbing_flame]

LOL.
A joke article : No confirmation from Kojima nore Konami... Someone told someone.. Oh wait.

[hannibus]

Very good to know.

[BarbWire]

I hope my favorite designer makes MGS5. It'd be like Mario on Wii 2, but not having Miyamoto on board.

[JIronMan]

What's Peace Walker if not 5?

[Anthonynoonz]

Just Got Better

[AaronPal811]

PLEASE HAPPEN!

[Unicron]

Reboot it, or just stop. Please.

Also, its time for ZOE3.

[hot4play]

Enough with the reboots please! It's such an overused word these days that even titles that don't need reboots get rebooted (DMC anyone??)

Now an Metal Gear 1 and 2 REMAKE would be most welcome! (Rookie Snake's Outer Heaven and Zanzibar missions) :o

[PS3-247]

Peace Walker should have been 5 becuz it's right after Snake Eater. I playing the game and it's good. Should have been on PS3.

[Godmars290]

Just saying that's MGS has had enough spotlight - lets see some mechs!

[chrisgay]

I hope it follows Rising's lead as a multiplatform, I sold my PS3 soon after the Rising announcement as I needed the cash, but the Metal Gear series is by far, my favourite gaming series ever.

[sdtarm]

but u did the most stupid thing in your whole life

[Ch1d0r1]

Just because he sold his ps3, it becomes the dumbest thing hes done. He said he needed the cash. It is amazing how many idiots ruin this site. And you are one of them, i truly feel sorry for you. I also wonder how you go through life. Probably playing video games.

[DJMarty]

U do realize that 'Rising' is nothing more than a spin off.

[HiroyasuKarpovsky]

If sales between PS3 and Xbox 360 remin this close itll probably be multiplatform then again it could be a ps4 xbox 720 release.

[GigaGaia]

Well, we all knew he was gonna make MGS5 after MGS4. I mean, he wants the money after all.

[PS3-247]

Not like he need the money. Konami wants it becuz MGS series brings in the most money.

[AaronPal811]

http://n4g.com/news/589781/...

Paul Gale Network seems to know David Hayter. Maybe they should interview him!

[patriotZero]

This is mention that MGS collection

[RobinGB]

looking forward to that.

[rekof]

,... BUT,... WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR Z.O.E 3 !!!!

(and that is coming from a guy who hates Japanese robot-Mecha shit ,.. ZOE is just such damn great game,..it is controllable chaos,.. gameplay is just so fun,.. fuck uprez zoe2 ,.. I'll buy it)

[John007guy]

I agree.

[Redempteur]

zero shift **

nothing else to add

[criticalkare]

Please make it happen kojima and konami!

[firithdil]

Anything from kojima is great. Yes, please make it happen

[gamer8179]

If its as boring as Mgs4 than no thanks. Also, whats up with the massive installs on every chapter? I thought the ps3 was suppose to be this powerful machine.

[The_Quiet_Man]

I'd like to see a prequel to the 1st Metal Gear Solid that was on the old PS1. Who doesn't want to see the fight between Solid Snake & Gray Fox (Frank Jaeger) in Zanzibar?

Although whatever story Kojima makes for MGS5 will be gold either way.

@gamer8179 the only people who would find MGS4 boring are people with no brains e.g. can't figure out whats going on in the storyline but in you're case I think you're just being a dumb troll.

[makult]

A prequel would be nice.

[AnonUser5555]

In other news, Obama announced the possibility he will give the State of the Union address next year.

of course he's gonna make it; you milk the cash cow.

[memphis2]

what he needs to do is start working on zoe, i love metal series, but after guns of the patriots. snakes story ended.

[John007guy]

Zone of Enders please. This is good news though.

[RobinGB]

snaaaaaaake! gotta get the HD collection.

[lelo2play]

Hideo Kojima likes milking the Metal Gear franchise. He really needs to make a new IP.

[AzadFujishima]

I've learned to trust PGN. I can't wait to learn more! And just wait because other bigger sites will prolly have the same news later and then everyone who doubted will look look dumb. The site has delivered before. Why not now?

[HiroyasuKarpovsky]

What if this game comes out next gen?

[GeorgeAnimal]

The Metal Gear Solid series is one that really requires an intelligent team behind it and only the very best direction. Kojima-san has been around the industry for years for a reason so his involvement being in MGS' 5th main entry is a blessing. Until then!

[RedPawn]

Kudos to your avatar, LEGENDDDDDDD.

[GeorgeAnimal]

Thank you for noticing. You sir rock.

[Bethany]

Does Kojima have an official stance on Kinect and Move? Who would want to see it on those vs. who would want to see it played traditionaly?

[JeromeRichfield]

about time we get an update. thx!

[JeromeRichfield]

i wus hoping somethting like this would come out of TGS!

[MidnightGamer9]

What's people's ideal platform?

[KimberlyHopr]

All a girl wants is some Solid Snake! ;)

[belal]

anyone knows if that article couple of days ago is true? kojima working on a secret ps3 exclusive?

[cygnuszero]

After MGS4 he really doesnt need to be making anymore MGS games. Let him go make other games and let someone else take the series over, or dont make them at all.

[Tito08]

I love Metal Gear, I'm a fan, but it should take a rest, MGA MGA2, MGS:PO and PO+, MGS:PW, MGS4, and now working on MGSR and MGS 3DS, it's too many Metal Gears already, I think he should be Working on Policenauts or Snatcher, most importantly ZOE!!!!

[Bethany]

I hope it comes out next gen so we see something utterly unbelievable.

[Enigma_2099]

...I could care less if we EVER see a Metal Gear Solid 5. Does anyone remember the end to MGS4? It's done. I don't WANT to see Snake come back in that condition...

... and you know they'll b**** if they can't play as Solid Snake. They did it with MGS 2!

I'm sure everyone remembers Kojima stating that he wanted to do something else. But it seems no one cares, because they keep whining and pleading for another Metal Gear Solid!!!

[sdplisken]

new main character and setting, just keep the tactical espionage action
ever see the movie "escape from new york?"
now thats what im talking about

[blackblades]

What he need to do is make something else, stop making mgs for awhile geez give it a rest.

[Dark_king]

Snakes story doesn't have to end with 4 they can always do something to bring him back.I mean he is a clone where they made 1 clone they could always make another.

[makult]

My questionis: would people rather have old snake or young snake in a sequel for part 5 OR a character brand new to the series entirely?

[MWH]

oh for God's sake. look i know there are thousands of fans hungry for more MGS but i'm going to speak my mind nonetheless. Kojima you overrated hindering prick, take some damn time off of MGS and bring us something new or perhaps do a 3rd ZOE already. truth told, MGS1 was nearly a fluke as none of the rest lived up to the original, story wise of course.

[zero_cool]

If they do make MGS 5 it should be exclusive to PS3 because then they will have more creative freedom & that's only possible if MGS 5 is PS3 exclusive.

[dragonelite]

He really is becoming a one way road.
People want snatchers and ZoE sequels already.
Can understand it MGS is his child his creation.
But the upcoming Castlevania he is directing if freaking ace so no hate to kojima.

[I HARLEM I]

.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SephireX]

Kojima is MGS. He is constantly thinking ahead and has probably come up with a good idea for the next game. Some may consider PW to be 5 but a true sequel to 4 needs to be on PS3 or PS4. 2013 is the earliest we will see it, with Rising coming out next year. I ask all people who played MGS4 this question. Would you like some more? I don't care if its called Metal Gear Gargoyle as long as there is another game made with the traditional MGS formula by Kojima and Playstation exclusive. Rising will probably be a great game but it is only a spin-off to fill in the storyline gaps and isn't really an MGS game. Fans want a true sequel to MGS4. Whether it contains the same past characters is irrelevant. Fans just want another MGS with the magic of MGS4! Phew...

[GeorgeAnimal]

You said it perfectly.

[GeorgeAnimal]

I'm pleased and impressed with the intelligent discussion going on. I think MGS is an important franchise in gaming and for the vast majority of comments here being insightful it just shows that the game's fans are passionate ones.

[SweetCheeks40]

You know Paul, I was talking to a 12 year old last night who said he had "sources" in Japan. I wonder if you guys have the same sources. Hmmmmm :)

[MidnightGamer9]

I think that taking the mechanics from MGS bit putting in a big city would make for a cool game.

[Paul_Gale]

I saw over the weekend that my article got some good exposure on N4G and that the discussion at hand was a really intense one. I appreciate all of your opinions on the matter and was happy to break the news for everyone. Hopefully from here on out, other sites will post up similar news to really get the word out there. Here's to Metal Gear Solid 5 by Hideo Kojima! (And to him eventually making 1) Zone of Enders 3 and 2) A Brand New Awesome IP).

[GForceRyu]

.....but sweeeeeet! Kojima kicks ass.

[Sun_e]

Looking forward to this game coming out.
