Metal Gear Solid V Will be The Last MGS, For Real This Time, Says Kojima

[JET1971]

The series could end with "Snake" as the protagonist and go with "Lizard" or "Toad" or even "Burrito" for the protagonist, those guys have been in the background doing just as important work as those legless lizard guys but nobody has bothered to tell their story. A protagonist can be dropped once a story has completed and a new one can be used in his or her place.

...Snake will live on as long as Konami can milk him for?

Milking the ol' snake, eh? ;D

Hmm. Sounds like either waffling (no more Metal Gear, but more Metal Gear) or over-promising (200 times Ground Zero? It was pretty small, but c'mon.).

If he means the map size like I've understood, that would be only about 14 times 14 the map of Ground Zeroes, which I think isn't that unheard of in open world games.

Hey, people who played the last MGS games, you have to buy this game to complete story and for things to make sense. I know I said that last time and made you buy the last game based on the idea of some closure but this time I'm totes seriously!

 

[Chester Rabbit]

LOL! Oh yeah, Konami is going to totally be okay with that one and respect Kojimas wishes. After all, they have soooooo many other cash cow franchises making them money these day-...oh wait, no they don't because they have taken nearly everything out to the back and shot it. Silent Hill is hobbling along after being knee capped by them.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will release September 1 for the Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS4, and on September 15 for the PC.

It will release for the PS4 AND the PS4?
Damn!!!

 

[FPLOON]

Heh heh... I'll believe that when they release The Metal Gear Saga: The Complete Definitive Collection...

two hundred times longer than ground zeroes wow! So about an hour long then?

Not unless you speedrun it... Then it's less than 10 minutes...

Metal Gear Solid VI: Phantom Sons of the naked Ocelots Confirmed!
Featuring all new protagonist Cobalt Snake (voiced by David Hayter) who is totally not a clone of a clone, at least not until the surprise twist ending where he totally is, as he takes on the terrorist cell Phantom, headed by the not clone of Ocelot, except until the first twist in the middle of the game at least until the middle of the game where it turns out it was a brainwashed by nano machines Otacon working for the president [of Fox news], as they use the newest metal gear: Metal Gear Ocelot, controlled by the brain of Naked Snake himself.

coming soon.


===================

On topic, I believe he wants it to be his last nobody wants to keep working on the same project forever, but I doubt Konami let him stop they will probably clone him just so they can keep churning more Metal Gears, and they'll always be his last.

Last MGS? Naaaah. Konami have Kojima tied up in their basement, strapped to a milking machine. His nipples are damn sore from all the milking, but sadly for him, they'll still keep milking.

 

[Joel Bridge]

all I ask is for a special secret boss fight playing as solids Snake

 

[Virtual Boy]

He says that every time he releases a new game.

I'll believe this the day Peter Molyneux stops over promising on his games.

Yeah, I don't believe it either. Even if Kojima gives up the series, you know Konami is going to make more games (for better or worse).

Didn't Peter pretty much clam up? I haven't heard anything from him in a while. I like to imagine someday, he'll be sitting in a wheelchair in an old folks home and he'll be sleeping - and every now and then he'll suddenly just look up and shout "I've got it! The most awesome game idea ever!" then he'll fall back asleep.

I mean I guess. He's played the Shia Labeouf I'm not famous anymore card before. Iwouldn't say he feels more contrite or apologetic this time though.
But I do think he realized he farted a lot louder than normal in a very crowded room. And everyone is looking at him.
He'll be back, don't you worry.
