Metal Gear 25th anniversary will have “exciting announcements”, “industry will be shaken”

Kojima Productions Report podcaster Ken Mendoza hyped up the upcoming proceedings on the latest episode by saying there will be “a lot of exciting announcements.”

[Whitefeather]

Really looking forward to this, I'm hoping for an MGS5, MG 1 n 2 remake, Old Snake n Raiden in PSABR and ummm a surprise because that's all I can think of.

[SnakePayne]

it's will be MGS5..

[Whitefeather]

There will be 4 announcements not just one.

[CaJuaLFeatPuFF]

It's MGS5

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

I usually don't care, but do you have a problem with using the word "it." Cause you made the same mistake on another comment on this page. Just sayin.

Ayway, I hope the remake MGS1. I've never played any Metal Gear games, but I'm interested in them. I didn't get the most recen cause it doesn't include the first one and I want to play all of them in order, since I'm told the story is intricate and can be confusing. So hopefully it gets remade.

[sikbeta]

*Announcement*

"MGS5 = WII-U Exclusive" -> trollface...you mad?.jpg

XD

Must be MGS5 multi no doubt, there is nothing bigger than that coming from Konami...

[BiggCMan]

What are the dates for the US?

[BlackPrince 42]

A next generation MGS5 will probably get an announcement trailer. Kojima has been saying he wants to show off the Fox Engine, so that seems most likely.

[jeseth]

MGS5 PS Exclusive. Please be so.....that abortion MG Rising makes me worried of a MGS multiplat game!

A MGS5 game on 360 now would be like 17 discs anyways ... why even bother?

[2v1]

is mgs4 for 360

[zeeshan]

The MGS4 was probably the last PS3 exclusive MGS game. I pretty sure that the announcement will be of MGS5 for Wii U, PS3 and 360. I don't care if it requires Konami to put the game on multiple disks for 360. The quality should be nothing short of what we saw in MGS4.

I hope that 360, Wii U and PS3 gamers will get to go on another fantastic adventure with Solid Snake!

[doogiebear]

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS GETTING A NEW MGO (Metal Gear Online), he just recently shut down its servers so fans of it are heartbroken. We need it to come back or at least a new one. Other than that, we dont care. I love the mgs campaigns, but i love me some mgo too.

[Whitefeather]

He didn't do it, Konami did.

[Who]

I agree.

Me, along with many buddies (most of which I met through MGO) miss it! I hope they bring it back maybe as a standalone?

After the recent trophy patch, the way the wording was for the MGO data was a little suspicious. I mean, there were so many warnings about the MGO data being deleted before installing the patch, then afterwards, 'The MGO data has been deleted' or something to that effect. It was like a shot to the face. I just hope it was foreshadowing some form of MGO that can start anew with better servers and log-in system.

There is no other game I can find that can replace or even match the gaming experience I've had with MGO. I wish I'd taken pictures.

[WeskerChildReborned]

I most likely think MGS5 will make a showing.

[NonApplicable]

I don't want to be a downer but, whenever Kojima Productions has an announcement, it's always dragged out... and over hyped.

[Drithe]

When Kojima speaks ... the world listens!

[doogiebear]

Then gets dissapointed because he over hypes every announcement before it's made.

How will mgs "shake up the whole industry?". I LOVE MGS and MGO, but that statement is bold considering that one company's game is unlikely to have an effect on other game companies.

UNLESS: He were to say it was coming for PS4. That could possibly shake up the entire industry only because an announcement like that would be the first ever SHOWN ps4 game and the first legal official announcement of a PS4.

But other than that, I dont see how 1 game will shake up the Rest of the industry.

[jwatt]

Metal gear Movie

[OhMyGandhi]

Metal Gear Solid....on a calculator!

[SlavisH2]

mgs4 for xbox and wii U

[Paragon]

Hahaha

[wenaldy]

Not sure if trolling

[PoSTedUP]

unfortunately he isn't because i thought the same thing, it's rather intelligent because that's the only thing we can think of that will "shake" the industry, think about it. that or MGS5. i really hope it's not true so Please disagree with me. but honestly that is the only thing i can think of and it's worrying me, im almost sick..

[BlackPrince 42]

@PoSTedUP

Not likely, there's too much data in MGS4 to make it into an Xbox game. It'd end up being 5-6 discs for a four year old game that probably wouldn't shift as many units as a new game.

It wouldn't be worth the effort.

[MrBeatdown]

@PostedUp

An announcement of a next-gen MGS would be a big deal, regardless of which next-gen platforms it's on.

The first actual footage of something targeting that next-gen hardware would be pretty damn huge.

Something like that is the only thing that would actually "shake the industry" if you ask me. It actually has industry-wide implications. It means it's time for the industry to start showing what we all know is happening behind the scenes. Either that, or it's some revolutionary change (at least to Kojima) to the MGS formula.

Something as simple as a port of a four year old game isn't that big of a deal. It's just an excuse for fanboys to argue, not a reason for the whole industry to take notice.

But then again, these things are usually overhyped. Kojima could be announcing a new collection of MGS-themed stickers.

[SnakePayne]

yup, one of announcements will be metal gear solid 4 subsistence for x360 & pc.

[BigStef71]

Lmao Kojima said it is never coming out on 360
http://www.cinemablend.com/...

[S-T-F-U]

He also said MGS2 was the last MGS. Here we are waiting for the fifth...

[Neoprime]

If this is a way to get MGO2/Metal Gear Online 2 back online i'm all for it.

[MasterCornholio]

I guess 360 owners will have to change loads of disks.

Lol.

Anyways on a more serious note I don't think that MGS4 will come to any other platform.

I expect Kojima to announce the following.

1. New character for All Stars
2. Zone of Enders 3
3. MGS5
4. A new game for the Vita based on the Metal Gear franchise.

XperiaRay

[SPARDA_426]

Thats would be the perfect announcement, and then showcase the games during TGS, this would make this year historic.

[Old McGroin]

Jeez, "people" like you still resort to the lazy having-to-change-disc trolling attack on the 360? That's pretty sad.

One bubble eh?

[Revolver_X_]

@Old Mcgroin

Sad that its fact? Xbox Disc hold 10GB, but can only use 9GBs. Hideo had to postpone MGS4 because the 25GB blu ray disc was too small. MGS4 uses a 50GB blu ray disc, this translates to a 5 disc Xbox game. Microsoft will not cover costs after 2 discs. So disc 3-5 would come out of Konami's pocket. Not profitable. All this was talked about when MGS4 came out. How quickly they forget. By all means keep dreaming.

[mynd]

Wasn't Final Fantasy XIII larger than MGS4 on the PS3, just sayin.....

[rezzah]

that wouldn't be a good thing for Konami.

If a game requires 3 disc or more, the production of that third disc + will come out of the publisher's pockets.

[mynd]

Production of all the discs come out of their pocket, what on earth are you talking about?
Are you referring to the myth in regards to Rage and royalties?

""It was a simple kind of miscommunication. Microsoft does not charge a royalty per disc, but there is a cost of goods that goes along with manufacturing."

http://www.shacknews.com/ar...

[Gazondaily]

At least 360 owners wouldn't have to wait an age for mandatory installs.I'd prefer the 10 second it takes to change discs any day.

[rezzah]

@mynd

So it was a misunderstanding all this time huh.

[DeletedAcc]

Hahahaa!!! Sorry but kojima loves the ps3 ( and her bluray drive )

Eat THIS!!!!

[Wintersun616]

"i would rather swap discs than waiting half an hour for the game to install then wait five minute for installs between every chapter"

Umm, you could do that, if you even owned a PS3. Except that it's a 15 minute install once, or 2 minute installs between the 5 chapters. Why don't you get your facts straight before you start spewing your BS the next time, m'kay?

[NastyLeftHook0]

If you want metal gear solid 4 buy a ps3. its simple.

[AmkOwns]

Get a ps3 bud, (it's like me asking to bring Mario or somthing on ps3 pffft like that will happen..)

[SAE]

won't happen even if kojima want it because xbox360 uses dvds , mgs5 would take at least 30gb .....

[DaThreats]

MGS5 PS3 exclusive

[Locksus]

Unlikely. Hideo Kojimas said at MS' E3 2009 conference that they'll be bringing the MGS franchise to the Xbox so MGS5 will probably be multiplatform.

[BigStef71]

When he said that he said he was talking about the next mgs installment which was supposed to be rising when it still had the mgs name. Even that douche Don Mattrick tried to make it seem snake was coming to 360 and hideo responded "Don I didn't say anything about solid snake"

@SnakePayne
Do u have source of him actually saying that? If that is the case why was mgs4 never released on 360?

[SnakePayne]

@BigStef71
sadly, it's will be multiplatform & kojima said that so don't try to tell us some of your bullsh*t
the game will be multiplatform.
hell yea.

[Locksus]

@BigStef 71
They've already brought MGS HD collection to the 360 and MGR is coming.

They're not bringing the MGS4 to the 360 because it doesn't have bluray so it would take far too many discs and Sony and KojiPro might have an exclusive deal on MGS4, I don't know.

But they've already brought multiple MGS games to the 360 so why stop here? It's not a PS exclusive franchise anymore and they'll make more profit by going multiplat.

[Locksus]

Seriously guys? care to even explain why you disagreed with me?

Oh, is that the sound of butthurt I'm hearing?

[BigStef71]

Ok one of those games is last gen and the other is not even being made by Kojima himself. Kojima had to use a full 50GB dual layer for mgs4 so what makes you think that he would not have to do the same for mgs5 which could possibly be a bigger and that means if its on 360 then we are talking about a shit ton of discs. Also the game would be dumped down like FF13 and FF13-2 were since it would be multiplatform. I know the new game would use the fox engine which was built for multiplatform but that doesn't mean the game itself will be. Just look at the gears of war series only on 360 built on a multiplatform engine. So I have to disagree with your response. I personally think mgs5 will be a ps3 exclusive cuz kojima loves playstation and every major mgs game has come out exclusively or first on the playstation consoles

[abzdine]

bringing Metal Gear and not SOLID.
It was MG: Rising he was talking about after it was called Metal gear SOLID: Rising and he said himself he didn't SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SOLID SNAKE during that same conference.

don't talk without proof

Locksus : You say yourself MGS4 is exclusive PS3 because of space issues. Do you really think MGS5 will require less space ? I really doubt it.

I'll even say that what will shock the industry is that MGS5 will be made with Naughty Dog's help after Kojima went to pay them a visit last month.

[ALLWRONG]

Metal Gear is multiplat, get over it.

[Genmu]

he said RAIDEN

when the retard that talk for the m$ conferance said " so mr kojima,do will we finally see snake on the xbox ? "

kojima DIRECTLY cut his speech and said " whoah wait a minute,no snake,i never mentioned snake "

go check the conferance again.

[TheMasterShake]

have you ever heard of MGS Rising, thats what they showed coming to xbox.

[YodaCracker]

@BigStef71

That Snake exchange between Don Mattrick and Kojima was obviously scripted.

[1Victor]

@locksus
I disagreed just for fun .
anyway most likely it will be Z.O.E 3 we been awaiting that since forever

[abzdine]

that will for sure shake the world.
Kojima was very excited about the PS3/Vita interaction and he wanted to make something using that feature.

I have high hopes the next MGS will be PS3 exclusive.

[Genmu]

this

and he had an exclusive interview with gamespot (search it)

when he was working on project ogre,and was talking how he cant wait to work ps3/vita interaction.

[NastyLeftHook0]

It was done with metal gear solid 4, why not 5?

[Paragon]

I would definitely like to see a MGS5 announcement.

No-Kill, Stealth, Cutscenes, etc.

More Metal Gear Solidness. *Dons Bandana*

[Moby-Royale]

*hands you a cigarette*

*leans in and whispers* Cigarettes can be harmful to your health.....

*scampers away*

[Paragon]

*Leans on tombstone*

This is good... isn't it?

*Sits there*

*Cigarette drops*

[Omega Zues]

It may be the Enders project. Hes been working on it over a year now.

http://www.digitaltrends.co...

[NexGen]

Yes, because it makes total sense to announce ZoE during metal gear's anniversary.

[Moby-Royale]

Oooooo kitty's got CLAWS!

Vicious!

[The Great Melon]

I'll take another Zone of the Enders over MGS. Heck if it isn't ZOE, I hope Kojima is doing something completely new. We need to give him a chance to make another iconic franchise. Gamers and publishers are stifling him by incessantly talking only about MGS.

[Summons75]

MGS5 featuring Big Boss in a game bigger than MGS4 please =] Can never get enough Big Boss

[NYC_Gamer]

Can't wait to see the new engine in action

[TopDudeMan]

Sounds good.

[refocusedman]

Mgo as a psn and xbla stand alone download.

[TheColbertinator]

Would love to play MGO on Live.

[CaJuaLFeatPuFF]

Metal Gear Eva: Striptease Of the Patriots LMFAO

[CaitSith]

lolol

Edit: Don't know why you got disagrees. It made me smile, at least. xD

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

I'm shaking already!! O_O

[ame22]

“Industry will be shaken”, my heart can't take it anymore.

[LOL_WUT]

Snatcher?

[Ck1x]

Why would the industry be shaken by a MGS5 announcement? Unless this is Kojima's last game or last Metal Gear game, I don't think anything else will shake the industry really... He was quoted awhile back saying that he wanted to move on to other things. Who knows what he has planned though!

[ScubaSteve1]

hopefully its a 25th anniversary collection like they did for the 20th anniversary

[Romudeth]

MGS5 with new protagonist?

[turgore]

Hmmm...what could shake the industry ? Maybe they will show the fox engine in depht

[DeletedAcc]

Metal Gear Solid 5 with Fox Engine @__@

(ps3 exclusive of course!)

[SAE]

maybe , just maybe a pc port too with mods >.< , or mgs5 for ps4 which would make everyone excited because they are using fox engine which will need a powerfull console to make a special game ...

just a guess ...

[Soldierone]

I think it'd have to affect the entire industry. So perhaps the Fox Engine will be available to other developers? Or something to do with similar motives? I highly doubt he has anything to say about a new console.

Perhaps he is showing off Vita/PS3 things that haven't been done just yet, who knows.

[ab5olut10n]

would be cool if they made their engine available, very cool. i'd like to see more devs license their tech. it certainly couldn't hurt the industry.

[Sizzon]

Awesome, can't wait to see/hear what it is!

[DigitalAnalog]

BELIEVE!

[ab5olut10n]

MGS remastered would kill in so many ways

[StayStatic]

I so want this , heard rumours it will be MSG5 , not like they are going to start releasing the story in sequential order now lol , to hell with logic :D

[USEYOURFIST]

Mgs5 ps4 launch title lol, i think the shake the industry quote is probably overhype and the announcment is actually MGS5 with continuous crossplay on the vita

[DivineAssault]

I hope they do a MGS5 w PS Vita integration.. maybe Kojima will be working with other dev teams & announce a new groundbreaking IP.. Who knows? But ill be watching

[AlienLion]

Shaken, not stirred.

[SierraXraySeven]

Really hoping for the game about the Cobra Unit's exploits before MGS3 that didn't come to fruition.

[THamm]

A new all co op Metal Gear for current gen consoles, Also a peek at MGS5 for next gen. Grey Fox chapter in Rising for pre orders or dlc

[zFEARLESSz]

MGS5 announced for PS3/VITA, there you go the next MGS title coming to multiple platforms.

[feraldrgn]

A MGS game for the PS3 & Vita to utilise Cross-Buy.

That'd be nice & get a few more Vitas out there.

[jperez96]

As nice as that would be, i think it'd be better to just be vita exclusive because people wont buy it just for ports.

[Hicken]

Why is it that any time someone brings up a bonus for the Vita, people go, "No one will buy it JUST for X?"

Seems like they always "conveniently" forget that there's X, Y, Z, Q, T, L, A, R, and O as well. I mean it's got or will have half the freakin alphabet, but everything else disappears when one letter is talked about. Sheesh.

So maybe they won't buy it "just for ports." But ports, exclusives, features, PS1 classics, and so on? Maybe, just MAYBE that'll be enough to get some people interested?

[nukeitall]

@Hicken:

"Maybe, just MAYBE that'll be enough to get some people interested?"

That is what Sony is hoping for! However, it doesn't seem to be working and this time PS Vita don't have the brand power to save them like the PS3.

[ado908]

Now Metal Gear solid 5 has to be announced damn it. Also I hope the game does't turn multi platform and the game gets gimped. But then again Kojima never fails to impress with the metal gear solid franchise so I trust him multi platform or not.

[urwifeminder]

I never liked his work i respect it but not my thing hate stealth gaming.

[RyuX19]

And we are supposed to care why?

[urwifeminder]

Well everyone else is entitled to an opinion but i guess i dont really care ok hes a god fixed.

[RyuX19]

I'm just wondering why you felt the need to comment if you don't even like him. I don't think he is God I'm not an MGS Fanboy, but I don't understand why someone would go to an article just to say that you didn't care for this person's work especially if you don't even care for the genre.

[SephirothX21]

MGS1 remake multiplatform, MGS5 PS3 exclusive and another MGS project multiplatform.

[GasTankKiller]

I'm hoping that MGS1 HD remake is announced and that MGS5 will release next holiday.

[patriotZero]

M
+
G
+
S
+
5= 4 announcements!

[fireplace]

TRANSFARRING

[Paul85]

Omg can't wait to hear More!!!

[THamm]

OOhh maybe two different Metal Gear games, one for PS and one for XBOX. Two different timelines, two different platforms!

[KrimsonKody]

MGS5 with online

MGS1 remake

Exclusive PSVita MGS

New ZoE (Most MGS fans also like ZoE)

Talks/rumors of Kojima quitting/retiring for good after MGS5

(!)

[sumfood4u]

I hope for Suikoden 6 and Castlevania news.

MGS already going be part of the news along with ZOE, so that won't shock me.

[Omnislash]

I just hope its PS3 exclusive. Otherwise prepare for some nerfs....

[Paballo]

1.I think they will announce MGS5 for one and possibly as ps3 exclusive.
2.then Announce either a vita version or a separate vita game that takes place either between MGS4 and MGS5.Possibility of transfarring.
3.they will announce a ZOE collection or a new ZOE game(since the beginning of this Generation Kojima has being wanting to make one)
4.Relaunch of MGS4 will not only release with trophies but it will be called MGS4 subsistence and come with a new revised MGO and not only that but extras aka snake vs Monkey and more
5.possibly last announcement will be snake in PlayStation battle royal
5 announcements for the 25th anniversary

[Skate-AK]

Well making MGS5 for 360 would shake up the industry. I know certain people that would not buy it just cause it went multiplatform.

[Hanuman]

If they will make a remake of Metal Gear 1 (For I care a HD version) I will be a Sony fan all over. I rememember receiving my PS1 with this game. I was 20 years old and was living in a dorm so we were mostly interested in multiplayer games like football and race games. Because of this I totally missed playing part 1. Gave it a few tries but I didn't really understand what to do, I was very bad at it and found the graphics very disotienting. Part 2 I played on PS2 because it had amazing graphics and I was a graphics-whore back than. ( Still am a bit btw.) but the story was a complete haze to me. Then Splinter Cell came out and gave me the feeling the genre was back. Phew... Haven't touched a Metal Gear since but am very eager to start the series. Since I'm getting older I tend to play alot of games I missed when I was "younger" and I'm loving it. I finished Blitz this week and am now playing Psychonauts. OMG Can't wait to start to with Metal Gear.

[dalibor]

MGS really has a deep plot. There's MGS data base you can download off of PSN to help you understand more about the story and characters. And once you finish MGS4 some of the hidden contents become available in the data base you can get from PSN. MGS3:SE was probably my favorite but they are all really good. I suggest you start off with MGS3 because that is a prequel. Than start off MGS, MGS2 and MGS4. But once you do understand the story you probably will come to like MGS more so than before. To sum up the plot a bit for you big boss is the original, solid snake and liquid snake are clones of big boss. I will not say anymore and good luck.

[d4sholil1]

I cannot wait; any news is going to be awesome. For Kojima's last MGS game, the crown of it all, a next gen remake of Metal Gear Solid would be WOW. He can only go so far with Solid Snake, and only so far with Big Boss, so the solid series has to end at some point right!? What do you all think?

[Kran]

Yes because they're totally going to announce MGS5 before Revengence is released, putting all the hype from Revengence over to MGS5 before it's even been released. Think people THINK.

[josephayal]

3DS EXCLUSIVE plz mr kojima

[jperez96]

I think a Ps Vita one would be more likely. Personally im not a fan of the 3ds.

[Batzi]

CAN NOT WAIT!

[TheKayle]

for sure will be not for ps3 (ps4 100%) and for sure it will be on xbox too

[Psycho_Mantis]

For the four annoucments, it just HAS to be:

1.MGS5
2.Metal Gear remake
3.Metal Gear 2:Solid snake remake
4.ZOE3 Footage
5.PS Vita project

[Batzi]

I agree but that's 5 announcements there :P

[jperez96]

Metal Gear Solid Vita!

[lasersquash]

This is gonna be good.

[DarkHeroZX]

If MGS5 is as big as MGS4 then no, it will not be hitting the 360. It may hit the wii U but I can totally see this that game, if actually coming, either being a ps3 timed-exclusive if the wii sales pick up or a ps3 only game. the Reason MGS HD collection came to the 360 was because those games are super small and of much lower quality then MGS4. 2 and 3 fit one a 4 gig vit game cart.

Plus MGS HD sold like crap on 360, ps3/vita weren't mind blowing but they sold better. Kojima doesn't need the xbox to be sucessful. ps3 was proof of that.

[TheKayle]

mgs5 will not hit the ps3 will hit the ps4 and new xbox have br too....

if u think kojima wanna ruin the most biggest game for the ps ....puttin it out at the end of the lifecycle knowing all the hw limitation of the ps3 and the other old consoles have u r crazy

it could happen if just they announce mgs5 for ps3 and announce mgs6 with some screenshots for ps4 too...

[Zechs34]

No.

MGS4 has sold upwards of 7 Million copies on a system that had a much smaller install base than what it is now.

The fact that the PS3 is doing miles better than it was in 2008, I would expect MGS5 (if that is even the announcement) to sell close to 10 million lifespan.

Why would they announce a game (MGS5) which wont come out till probably late 2013 and, in the same conference, announce a next gen MGS?

Personally, I'd take a pushed up release for the ZoE Collection and Zoe 3 info please.

[DarkHeroZX]

Dude you have not a single clue what you are talking about. First off yes the ps3 is old but that doesn't stop it from getting graphical masterpieces. And the fact MGS4 does not push the ps3 has hard as KZ2 means there is enough room for improvement for MGS5. Also the ps3 has a much higher install base in which could bring in a 7-10 million in sales easily. Development cost would be significantly higher with newer hardware and the pay off may not be so great if it launches on a console with a small install base. I'd put my money on MGS5, if coming out at all, being a ps3 game. Kojima can still get alot out of the ps3 especially money which is the most important to insure their future.

[ZBlacktt]

MGS5 with Big Boss back in action along with a all new MGO.

Could also see a MGS HD remake coming.

[DarkHeroZX]

no. Big Boss was 79 when he died, he's been a mess ever since he killed the Boss. Let his suffering end for good and keep him dead.

[Avalanche]

if it involves anything with 360, or nintendo exclusivity i will very disappointed in Kojima.

[AO1JMM]

Sigh..... Another N4G fanboy thread.

Perfect example above.

Hopefully it will be MGS 5 for next gen systems.

[MWH]

what a laughable title. show us what you got kojima then we'll see.

[BizDaWolf]

I'm thinking MGS4 for 360 or HD remake of MG1 on the new fox engine

[Chrono]

We all know it's MGS5, that's your industry shaking news?

[Kureno_Nakamura]

My guesses:

possible announcement of Rising becoming a series or a Grey Fox based spin-off title

Metal Gear Anime

MGS5 - no brainer

New portable title about events that lead up to MGS1, possibly starring Liquid.

I hope they aim higher than my meager predictions.

[moodgamer]

Playstation Xbox All Trolls Battle Royale, the game that will run forever.

[chukamachine]

Has war changed again.

meh

[Glitch100]

Very unlikely, but perhaps MGS4 on 360? There was some rumours about it a long time ago... Would be pretty sweet, big fan of the franchise.

Obvz, that wouldn't be the main announcement, the real one would probably be something like they created a real metal gear aha.

[representj]

dang it would be a shame if the MGS series comes to the 360, the ps3 is already being held back from the 360, and its also taking hits for being outdated which i find really stupid from the game industry.

[Ethereal]

My body is ready for Thursday!

[Max-Zorin]

I thought Metal Gear Solid was gonna end after 4.

[Max-Zorin]

If Metal Solid Gear 5 go multiplatform, it would be Devil May Cry 4 and Final Fantasy 13 all over again.
