We don’t doubt the skill of the team at Kojima Productions to produce another amazing entry in the series, but it does beg the question of this aging franchise and the Japanese team in Tokyo: are we ever going to see Kojima Productions branch out and try something different?

The only reason why I would want another MGS is to play as Solid Snake (Not Big Boss, Not Old Snake) in his prime once more. We only really got to fully do that in MGS1.
I do want Hideo Kojima to do something new, but not because the storyline is "convoluted" or because I'm tired of killing "gundams" (lol @ calling it gundams), but because it's just time for him to move past Metal Gear. He's been tied to the franchise for nearly his entire career.
It's time for him to make a new masterpiece.
Oh, for the love of God...
There is NO need to continue diluting and adding to the MGS canon after MGS4! Let the legend lay his saga to rest peacefully and let him create and innovate once more. I'm tired of Fans pulling him back into the franchise when he clearly expresses how he'd like to step away and do something new and exciting! The MGS games have been well recieved Let him go work on something and let Konami put MGS into a vault and market something newer, and ultimately achieve the same legendary status of MGS.
If Kojima has constantly tried to move away from Metal Gear, wouldn't that suggest that he doesn't have the passion for it anymore? And if thats the case, why the hell would MGS fans want a game from an unpassionate Kojima in the first place?
These are moments when I lose faith in gamers. Look at Bioware, after the ending of Mass Effect 3, people sent Casey Hudson death threats, and one even threatened to slit his sons throat. Look at Robert Bowling... need I say more.
These are the gamers that need to be castrated, and have their pc/ consoles shoved so far up their ass they will choke on them
So you mean they would send something like an exploding Rice Krispy?
Metal Gear games always made me cry...
Of course Kojima can work on another things as well! he got ZOE and Project Ogre going can't wait to see what it goes out of this master mind
you wouldnt happen to be one of those gamers sending kojima death threats would you? please stop making him continue, theres been enough mgs. i and many others would like to see something different from him. also metal gear revengence looks down right bad ass. im glad platinum games were handed the franchise to try something innovative and fun
If developer A starts working on a sequel. Do something different this is being milked to death.
If dev A creates a new project / IP. Where in the hell is the sequel to what you're famous for?
If dev A doesn't implement a ton of changes. Same shit different day / milking a tired engine.
If dev A takes a tried and true franchise in a new direction. WTF are you changing it for? It was fine the way it is.
You simply can not win.
I would imagine Metal Gear is like a girlfriend to him. Maybe he thought it was best for him to move on at some point and he breaks it off. I.e. him initially handing the development of Peace Walker to his team.
Then, much like an ex-lover, the moment he sees her with somebody else he can't walk away. Even if he wants to.
That's how I see it, at least.
I'm torn also. I would love to see another franchise from him. Yet, here I am pumped for MGS5. You can't have your cake and eat it too.....
I don't really see a need for something new. Yes, once I play the next one I may feel that way. I felt after MGS4 that that was the end. But I'm definitely ready for another MGS now. I don't get fatigued with the franchise as it isn't like COD with a new one released every year. There's some downtime to get hyped again.
Kojima's legacy is based mostly on MGS and for good reason, they are tremendous games. And I will continue to support the continuation of the series until he runs out of things to say. He obviously has something he wishes to say with the new game, a piece of the story which hasn't been told. So I for one, can't wait!
With Sony comments lately about their plans for the PS4.I'm happy because I truly think their is alot of surprise games being develop on improve engine from all of their top rank developers.Quantum Dreams and Naughty Dog new engines are only the beginning.We know that all of Sony 1st party developers shared ideals and with what I'm seeing now I can't wait for Guerilla Games new engine or game too be shown.
The best new engine reveal so far have too be Quantum Dreams engine used for Beyond:Two Souls.The 23 mins of real-time gameplay sold me on an day 1 buy.There was some parts that look too realistic too me.People keep asking for next-gen when Sony have shown 2 games that could redefine the PS3 image so late into its lifecycle.
But with fans constantly complaining, he will likely be stuck on MGS until he leaves Konami.
For me MGS3 is the greatest game out there, all right it had its traditional MGS weirdness and silliness at times, but it also had a adsorbing story and the greatest cast of characters ever in a game. Big Boss was the greatest antagonist ive ever played, he was fleshed out, he had depth and you actually cared for him, i reckon you would find it hard to find a MGS fan who didn't swell up at the end.
Kojima, just give me either a prequel to MGS3 where you play as The Boss while she was assembling the Cobra Unit or a sequel, kinda like Peace Walker but maybe as Ocelot.
Something from the older days would be brilliant.
I agree he should be able to create other franchises at will, but he can go on with MGS as long as he keeps it as amazing as it has always been.
F@CK & YEAH!
For the love of God make a Peace Walker 2 for vita and a new 3ds spin off. And sony i would appreciate it if you could get Portable Ops working on vita. Come one now!
On topic:
Of course we want to see another Metal Gear game. When did Kojima fail? It`s more exciting to watch the story in MGS than watching every hollywood flick released last 5 years.
Look at the teaser image of Big Boss, Konami released a few months ago, below.

But the fans want it so bad and i think they spam him to do it.
i hope its a good game because there is no series last 4ever.
MGS is the only profitable franchise they have left.
