Metal Gear Solid V Could Really Be Kojima's Last

GP writer Jared discusses why he believes Metal Gear Solid V may be Kojima's last in the series.

If it really was the "last one" why would he change voice actors?

[GamePodunk]

The author isn't saying MGSV will be the last game; rather, it'd be Kojima's last MGS before they perhaps hand it over to someone else. The change in voice actors actually plays a role in his theory as well.

[PSVita]

Oh ok thank you for explaining that.

[Mounce]

I'd highly doubt that.

If his next MGS game were pressured to be a remake of MG1 and MG2, he'd take the helm, being how vital they'd be to transition properly into next-gen quality/story-revamp and whatnot so then the entire series can be properly finalized. MG1 would bring back Solid Snake at that with his first mission and fighting Big Boss as SSnake would of course be orgasmic, just imagine let alone fighting Grey Fox in Zanzibar Land in modern-era visuals.....HNNgngNgng

No one else can do this but Hideo, after this? Then, he really has nothing more to do except allow games like Revengence to be made.

Never going to happen

Please stop milking my favorite series of all time.
Even if MGS5 does have some cool looking gameplay.

We haven't had a numbered sequel since 2008. If you want to count Peace Walker then 2010. That's not milking, COD is milking, AC is milking, FFXIII is milking.

And on top of all that, he has yet to make a bad Metal Gear Solid game, when, and only when, that happens, then we should be asking him to quit. I'm pretty sick of people complaining about getting more great games, each one unique, MGS V in particular is making a radical departure from the usual MGS gameplay.

[ginsunuva]

Milking is not frequency, but extending/stretching a story arc further than necessary

[Murad]

I disagree with you entirely. MGS always had a purpose in filling in the plot line, and actually did a good job. It's not like AC, where after Ezio's story ended, it started being mass bullshit. Or even CoD, where it went from WW2 to Black Ops, and wars in third world countries.

[0pie]

he said the same thing about mgs4

[Becuzisaid]

And mgs3 and mgs2. Seeing the trend here?

[Double_O_Revan]

I definitely remember him saying the same with mgs3. Now 4 games later, Yeah, we'll see.

[hazardman]

No way...only if he doing Zone of Enders til then.......Sake!!!!

[dcj0524]

Wouldn't mind a new ip at all.

[Freddy_Millz1]

He might just leave it in the hands of a capable team. Like a passing of the torch. Or he may just bury the series right here,(which would probably be for the best)
Either way, its gonna fly off the shelves.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

There are two plot lines left I want Kojima to cover. The Boss and the Cobras, and Grey Fox.
