I was so excited when I heard the new mgs announcement. I can't wait!!

"Metal Gear Solid 5 to End it All"

Haha whatever you say, Kojima

soundslike4741d ago

I think he meant:

"I will end my life, if I have to make another MGS after MGS5."

I do hope MGS5 is the last one, not because I don't like MGS (its my favorite series), but Kojima isn't getting any younger and he might not get many more chances to start a new franchise if he doesn't do it soon.

mt4741d ago

Haha I remember he said that after MGS2

Solid_Snake374741d ago

This is the most exciting news in a long time, for me! Can't believe I'm actually going to see some Solid Snake action!

Omnislash4741d ago

I thought MGS4 ended it all....

shoddy4741d ago

Yay I love solid snake.
I love metal gear.
I live kojima.

stragomccloud4741d ago

I was about to write a comment... then I saw yours. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Razmossis4741d ago

Why do I still feel like it isn't actually confirmed yet?

I feel like I can't take Kojima seriously these days, and when he says something exists, I assume he means 'exists in his mind', but not actually developed.

Anyone else feel like this?

Old McGroin4741d ago

Ha, yeah right Kojima as a few people have already pointed out, MG 4 was supposed to be his final MG:

http://kotaku.com/277361/me...

According to Kotaku he also said he was done after part 3.

TheFirstClassic4741d ago

Heck I think at one point he said he had thought he was done at two.

Solid_Snake374741d ago

He's only doing this because he's being pressured by fans

stragomccloud4741d ago

He was also supposed to be done after 2.

LastDance4741d ago

I know this wouldn't happen (and probably shouldn't) but I would love to see a remake of the first metal gears where big boss and snake duke it out in Outer Heaven. That would be pretty epic.

stragomccloud4741d ago

I would love to see that too! Even if they just did it with the MGS3 engine to save on cashola. They should just combine Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2 into one awesome game!

MrBeatdown4741d ago

This is exactly what I want.

It's the ending of Big Boss' story and the beginning of Snake's. It's arguably the most important chapter in the whole series. It needs to be redone in true MGS style. A couple old 2D games just can't do the story justice.

Snookies124741d ago (Edited 4741d ago )

Lol, MGS4 was supposed to end it too... Snake should have died at the end, but people are always swaying Mr. Kojima in some way or another. I hope he does what HE wants to do to end the series with MGS5. I think if he's got a plot in mind, and an end in sight, he should set that in stone and just run with it this time.

NYC_Gamer4741d ago

Kojima will be stuck making MGS games long as he works for Konami

chasegarcia4741d ago

I know right. Quit and go on kickstarter.

Batzi4741d ago

Not once did he say that he was going to end the series with MGS5. The article is misleading.

chasegarcia4741d ago

he never does. The media is full of bs for hits.

Nitrowolf24741d ago

He never said MGS4 would be the end of MGS, he only said it would be the last chapter in Snake Journey,meaning that is where it ends. IDK the rumors on MGS5 even if there's a plot, but for all we know it could be a sequel. I'm hoping they don't pull some reverse Fox Die Snake is young again stuff.

Snookies124741d ago

I mainly meant that MGS4 was supposed to end the Solid Snake side of Metal Gear, since Snake was originally supposed to die. So that kinda actually would be the end of MGS now that I think about it, since it wouldn't be "Solid" anymore, it would move onto Metal Gear "something", or shoot, maybe even just Metal Gear 3 lol.

Nitrowolf24741d ago

There's plenty of room left for prequels, just like MGS: Peace Walker ;)

FreydaWright4741d ago

I think the ending to MGS4 was inconclusive and leaves plenty of room for speculation. We are quick to forget this new strain of FOXDIE, which counteracts the old virus. Moreover, he asks Big Boss in the very end "will I... die?" to which Big Boss gives no reply, as if to imply that Snake's fate is uncertain. In my eyes, there is potential for a post-MGS4 Snake. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's just what I recall from the final scene.

Snookies124741d ago

Oh yeah, I mean of course Snake still has some life left in him. It's just that we're unsure just how fast his genes are aging. Based on his appearance from MGS4, we can definitely say his body doesn't have TOO much longer left in it. Snake's going to die one way or another, probably at the end of MGS5. I think everyone realizes that, I just hope he goes out with a bang of glory rather than dying of that rapid aging process.

PirateThom4741d ago (Edited 4741d ago )

The reason Snake was going to kill himself was because the FOXDIE strain was mutating into a more aggressive form, no longer targeted like it had previously been. However, the mutation had actually caused it to become more harmless.... except to Big Boss, it's what ultimately kills him.

As for "no reply", that's the point where he gives his "This is good, isn't it?" speech and tells Snake, specifically, "Everybody dies. You can't stop it. You can't run away from it. Let me tell you something... Don't... Don't waste the life you have left fighting." Even in the post credits, Snake says "Otacon, I'm gonna be dead soon." and talks of his final days.

Snake, in the very near future after 4, is dead. It's not uncertain. MGS5 couldn't continue after it, not with Snake, even if he wasn't dead, he was worn and broken by the end of MGS4.

I love the character and I don't need to see him die on screen, old age or blaze of glory. It undermines the whole "stop fighting and live" aspect of the MGS4 ending.

Lord_Sloth4741d ago

Poor Kojima. Konami keeps sticking him on the same projects again and again. Let him move on already!

Kurt Russell4741d ago

MGS games are great, but I would like to see him applied to a new I.P now... You know it would be boss whatever he worked on.

Megaton4741d ago

This hurts me. MGS4 ended it all. Don't retcon the living hell out of the series so you can end it all again.

brettyd4741d ago

I will never get tired of Metal Gear, they just keep getting better.

andibandit4741d ago

Except for the storyline, for newcommers i suggest not even trying to understand, your face will just melt.

shadow27974741d ago

As long as you start at the beginning with MGS1 (reading up on the Metal Gear plot lines would help too), you should be fine.

But definitely don't jump in at MGS4, or probably 5. Jumping in at 3 is okay, but makes 1 and 2 practically unplayable. So just start at MGS1 or MG if you're really committed.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran83d ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

mastershredder2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake2d ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

__y2jb2d ago

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.

I Owe You An Apology, Hideo Kojima, I Wasn't Familiar With Your Game

Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.

Good to see people coming around.

mastershredder17d ago

yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .

franwex17d ago

Anybody else gave up reading a few paragraphs in?

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

It's thegamer. You just skip it off general principle.

jznrpg17d ago

If you missed out on old games it’s nothing to apologize for. Just the way life goes sometimes. We can’t access everything in our short lives.

Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.

MrNinosan34d ago

lelo2play has always been full of it, and one of the long lasting trolls here... this is another example of his BS comments.

1nsomniac34d ago

100% the guy is the absolute king of his own bullshit. Kojima and his fans baffle me with how brazen they are with it!

Pyrofire9533d ago

Have you ever cared about something?

__SteakDeck__34d ago

@MrNinosan Obscure has always been full of it and is another troll.

TheEroica33d ago

Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.

Z50133d ago

Couldn't even imagine rolling my eyes since 1998

P_Bomb33d ago

Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄

jznrpg34d ago

I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.

anast34d ago

It's a really good game. Heartman is my favorite character.

SlothLordPootus33d ago

I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.

Knushwood Butt33d ago

Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.

-Foxtrot34d ago

Then why do a sequel straight away?

Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

Eonjay34d ago

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
