Metal Gear Solid 5 (solid prediction)

This my solid prediction, of how i presume the metal gear serise will be, going in the direction of mgs5. But, 1st read my article on waht Hideo Kojima, had to say about it!

Metal Gear Solid 5
(Solid Prediction)


Konami’s upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3 (due June 12) is the latest stealth game in a series that has been going strong for the last 20 years. In an interview with Hideo Kojima, creator of the series, he was asked if this was the last game in the series and even if he may not be making another one himself, he said he’d produce more spin-off PSP handheld games and hinted that a Metal Gear Solid 5 sequel might be a possibility without him.
Question: Obviously, the first question that’s on everyone’s mind is: Why exactly did you feel this was the right time to end the Metal Gear Solid series?
Hideo Kojima answers: I was supposed to end this in MGS2, you know, originally (laughs). And then I created MGS3, and I said, ‘Okay, this is the final one. It’s over.’ But people said, ‘No… there’s still not enough answers (in that game)!’ As a game design, the story was almost complete in MGS1, 2 and 3, or so I initially thought. But of course, there were some questions that weren’t answered, especially with some things after MGS2. I didn’t decide that this was the timing – there were a lot of voices saying, ‘We want the answer to all of the questions!’ That’s why as a game, and as a saga, MGS4 is the complete wrap up.
PR-wise, I really don’t want to say that [Metal Gear Solid 4 is] the final game or this is the wrap up, but if I don’t say it, people will make me create MGS again! (laughs) So I have to say, ‘Die, Snake,’ and really end it so I can move on to something else! (laughs) Actually, it’s a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on. We have to kill him at a certain point.
Question: Now there were a few things that fans of the series have easily picked up on in footage released of the game, such as Policenauts posters. Even the Mark II is reminiscent of Snatcher. I have a two part question. First, how many elements of previous games, such as Zone of the Enders or Snatcher, have helped to influence or shape game elements of MGS4? Secondly, would you return to Zone of the Enders or Snatcher possibly once you’ve put Metal Gear Solid 4 to rest?
Hideo Kojima answers: You might think that I might pass away because I’m putting everything into this past series! (laughs)
To answer your first question, none, actually – that’s just a service to the fans, the genuine fans of Kojima Productions. Policenauts and Snatcher wasn’t probably released in America and some other parts of the world outside of Japan. In Japan, there are still a lot of core fans who really love all of the series. Even Meryl – she used to appear in Policenauts – so it’s a kind of service to say thank you to the fans, actually.
Finally, it’s the end of Snake, so I’d really want to start something really fresh and new when I create the game for the next one. However, maybe the sequel to ZOE [meaning: Zone of the Enders 3], or a remake of Snatcher, for instance, if I just participate as a producer, yeah, that could be possible.

UPDATE May 13th 2008: The Metal Gear Solid 4 press event in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills ended with an audio clip of a phone conversation between franchise foe Revolver Ocelot and an unknown character, with only Ocelot’s side of the conversation presented in the clip. It included a hint at a Metal Gear Solid 4 sequel. To quote:
[Ocelot’s voice]
Yes.
We just finished the press conference.
Yes.
Everything went according to plan.
Yes.
We’re entering into the last phase of the mission.
Do you want to execute the launch day surprise?
Yes, that’s right.
Akihabara, New York, L.A….
Live, simultaneously throughout the world…
Yes, it’s under control.
The VIP’s are happy to participate.
Yeah, that’s right.
That person.
Yes sir, understood.
So on June 12th…
By the way, what should we do about “The Project?”
Yes, that’s correct.
That man has fallen.
It’s about the sequel.
Yes, indeed.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
I see.
Yes, sir.
Mr. CEO.

It seems here that Hideo Kojima has quite a different plan for the metal gear solid series. The next sequel that were all pretty sure will be mgs5, is sure to be about something non-snake related. It would maybe be about gray hound, and how there turmoil contradicts to the storyline? Or maybe about the future of the metal gear organization?! I mean, just because snake, ocelot, and liquid are gone, doesn’t mean metal gear is gone. Sure! All 3 of them must have been real strong parts to the story, who each played their own strong and specific roles. However, Hideo (as clearly stated above) has said that snake will not be a part of the next metal gear in the chapter. Although snake will not be involved in any of the physical parts of the story, I’m pretty sure he will play a very strong emotional role in it. Hideo is sure to come up with a surprise, doesn’t he always! I mean, the metal gear series isn’t over yet, but maybe that’s a bad thing? Because, as Hideo said above, he may not take part in this next game. So? If Hideo does not take part in it, the co developers could screw it up, which leads to saying that I do not believe Kojima would just sit there, and allow his best franchise game to be screwed by co developers! Believe me he has some sort of plan for metal gear solid 5 up his sleeve believe me! (Whatever happens, don’t let what happened to Zelda being put in other peoples hands, happen to mgs5. and I’m sure you all saw what they did to Zelda, I mean I don’t know about you guys but all the other Zelda titles are no where near as good as the one Miyamoto, (the main director) developed for the n64. Ocarina of time!!!) Call it what you want I’m just telling the truth. Nonetheless, tell me what you guys believe about the metal gear solid series, and what new surprise you would be willing to give, that would be real substantial to the story. There’s many but I feel the ones I’ve went over stand out from all. Give me you guy’s thoughts!

The series is dead, dumbass.
Kojima said this himself.
Remakes: Maybe.
Sideseries/stories on same universe: Maybe.
But ANOTHER stroy with snake as the protagonist, is more than unlikely.

Metal Gear Solid is the shit, I wish they would release it for the 360 though.

Your right about one thing, it DEFIDENTLY is the SHIT. However, i do not belive xbox will ever get it. I mean they stole all the other great titles ps3 has: (Gta4 & Final fantasy 13). to tell u the truth, i don’t know how the hell they got final fantasy 13!

IF HE SAID ITS OVER ITS OVER GODDAMNIT

rofl

gabmed stfu and gtfo, if your going to cause problems. i asked everyone to read my statement and then say what they thought about it. not bullshit around to try and get attention cause their a loner. just gtfo if you don’t have anything to say about mgs5. (asking you nicely, don’t make me get nasty.)

Isn’t MGS4 the last in the series? i mean they will probably try to extend it out but I think that’s what Kojima said.

Also guys keep it on topic. The guy’s asked so do it.

I’d assume it’s the same guy who made that Zelda topic.

Yup.

Hmmm, I wonder if the next one will be a full blown movie, instead of an interactive movie.

i just think there will be an mgs5. however, if there is i belive it WILL be the final metal gear for a big consle. i mean, kojima probably would continue it a little for the psp, or something like that. But there are a couple good reasons, in the metal gear story to lead to what mgs5 could be about. as a matter of fact theres 3, go back and read in my article above, Hideo states this.

mark2’s aritical above states it. (sorry about that).

I am not too sure about a MGS5 idea how ever much i love the series - rather than MGS5 i would wish the remade the original metal gear games or show how big boss finally decided upon outer heaven (not just given the idea as he did in MGS:PO2)
In my opinion big boss > Solid snake...

well i like the concept of your comment. you explain another good reason there could be an mgs5, how big boss could decide on outer haven. thats an excellent point right there, i’d really love to see how big boss reaches out past the story a little bit. It really is something still shrouded in mystery.

i’d really love to see an mgs5, that would be great!
