A gun in every hand and conspiracy theory in every home!
It seems that we can all look forward to seeing another episode in the Metal Gear Solid series, as Hideo Kojima, director of Kojima Productions and VP of Konami Digital Entertainment, has gone on record with French Gaming magazine IG that Metal Gear Solid 5 is a thing and that it is being worked on. What has come up as even bigger eye catchers than being the next instalment of the 25 year old gaming legacy about stealth gameplay, conspiracies and boxes of all shapes and sizes, is that Metal Gear Solid 5 will have the Fox Engine as its foundation. Mind you, the demo shown last year at E3 was only to show off lighting, not actual in game footage.
Another interesting point about MGS5 was its gameplay altogether, with prototyping focusing more on the infiltration aspect with interactable characters much like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and keeping with the prototyping aspect of development, Kojima told of his ideas about the backdrop and the main character:
“I had several ideas for a game featuring The Boss and the Cobra Unit during the invasion of Normandy. I then handed these plans over to the team so they could take over and make the game.
“I presented my ideas to the team during the summer of 2008. However, simply dropping MGS5 on the younger staff members was a bit heavy and there was resistance to doing it without my involvement.”
It is not sure as to what stage of development Metal Gear Solid 5 is in at this moment in time, but it is now a much more tangible thing to grasp, and Kojima Productions began hiring for MGS5 a few months ago for PC and “high-end consoles”.

Please let this be a Peace Walker sequel, Mr. Kojima. PLEEEEASE!
meh a flashback game? As a tech nerd, I would have preferred 5 to be further ahead of 4, time wise, instead of a flash back in history.
Solid Snake was dying, and had only 6 months to live at the end of MGS4, bringing him back in a sequel that sets after MGS4 would be stupid.
besides, if you wanna a game that’s “further ahead of 4, time wise” it’s already in development, and it’s called Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
” “I had several ideas for a game featuring The Boss and the Cobra Unit during the invasion of Normandy. I then handed these plans over to the team so they could take over and make the game. ”
Well if this game is gonna explain how the Cobra Unit got their powers in more detail and maybe to an extent, Volgin then I guess I’m for it, although out of all the times I played Snake Eater (I’ve lost count but I feel like saying around 30 or so..) I never really questioned how Volgin was able to use electricity except once and very briefly. Isn’t it explained in MGS database?
Hmmm not sure how I feel about this. I mean it could be cool if it’s focusing on Boss and the Cobras, would offer a lot of various game play features. But I dunno, I guess I’ll have to wait and see. Being a big MGS fan I’ll most likely play it much like the upcoming Rising.
I like MGS and all but I feel like this is beating a dead horse.
This is so sad. I mean I kind of enjoy the Metal Gear Solid games, but I just wish Kojima could move on like he’s wanted to do since before MGS 3.
He can do different stuff! Remember Boktai: The sun is in your hands?
Granted any game he puts out always has some great underlying story and themes so I am interested to see what he might do.
Should be interesting to learn more about The Boss and the Cobras; I can’t wait to hear more about this game.
interested to see the Boss in her twenties or thritiess spying on and fighting Nazies with her Cobra unit….I predict they might introduce drop in co-op plus the online multyplayer…actually was Ocelot still in The boss womb when she landed on Normandy
Oh come on… really? Wasn’t the whole point of MGS4 to tie everything together in a neat bow and then take it out behind the shed? I mean, I’m kind of okay with Revengeanceseanceschmanzthing because it’s supposedly set in an alternative universe or something to that effect but… really? We’re gonna flog the MGS story MORE?
It really is time to just move on already. I don’t think the plot of MGS can take much more abuse.
So it’ll be another prequel starring Big Boss? Because you really can’t do much after the ending of 4 unless it’s with a different character, like Revengeace is doing.
Hmm. I get the feeling I won’t be revegeancing anyone in this game.
I think you can revengeance your spelling/grammar if you really need to.
Odd, you’d think they would let Metal Gear Rising get released before you announce the next game in the series.
Rising is more of a spin-off than a game in the series…
I understand, but I’m sure more people would buy it if they thought it was going to be the only Metal Gear game they are going to get.
consider the amount of fanbase growling at it, I think the people that would buy Rising for that reason already jumped ship, so no real lose announcing this.
