Yeah, as much as I love MGS, I'd really like to see him try something completely new.

Kojima interested in an MGS starring The Boss and a Rising sequel

This is exactly how I feel.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
After that MGS:GZ trailer can you blame him? the man is full of MGS ideas & to think if people had their way MGS:GZ wouldn't exist.
I say let Kojima do what he wants, a new game will come eventually, just like ZOE did, but MGS is his baby.
but seriously Kojima, like I said in the other thread, he should do another Metal Gear Sigint

but instead have it include all games but with everyone but Solid Snake has the main character, and Solid Snake being cut out the picture, I mean really, minus the original two, Solid Snake has had 2 games & the last tried killing him off, and now Kojima wants to bring another character in, Raiden, Big Boss 2(more if you include PW) & The Boss, I really feel sorry for Solid Snake, I don't mind spin-offs or Big Boss, but we need more Solid Snake, hopefully MGS5 is a Remake of MGS1 & it'll continue from there
but no wonder he kept saying "Hey, I'm the main character!" in MGS2 when you pressed R2, he knew what was happening lol

Since the reveal of ground zeros I've been reading the metal gear wiki, more as a primer for rising than anything as I never have played much of the MGS series.
I have now decided that I will skip every cutscene when I play rising.
Way way way too much nonsense. Making it up as you go along is an understatement.

On the one hand I think a game starring The Boss will be cool.
On the other I imagine them introducing a new badass character who previously inspired The Boss, and then there'll be a new game starring that character, who was previously inspired by a new badass character, who was...

All your examples are from MGS4
Which I think most fans of the canon would agree is pretty retarded and retroactively ruinous
Prior to that game though I think MGS had a pretty interesting, enjoyable and for the most part consistent fiction for a videogame.

So you got fed up with MGS's retconning...only to stan another series that has even worse retconning

I'd prefer if he did some sort of Snatcher reboot. Not the same gameplay, but something in the same kind of world.
It could be an open world game, you play as a detective/police officer and drive around the city, getting calls, making arrestations, investigations, etc.

Just needs a Blade Runner like soundtrack and it would be the best thing ever.
Yuji Korekado told us the same..

RE fans and MGS fans talking shit about each other's stories while propping up their own... it's like Christmas came early this year.
Don't worry about it too much, we all grow out of it one day.

Completely agree. I want more MGS games from Kojima. Peace Walker was pretty good albeit the terrible story, but Ground Zeroes and Rising might remove the bad taste that MGS4 left in a lot of peoples' mouths.

I find it funny that people complain about Kojima making MGS games. That's what he does, get over it. This series isn't over by a long shot, and anyone who thought it would be after 4 was delusional.
Now, as for a game featuring The Boss, I've wanted this for 8 years now, and I think it could be amazing. Imagine a WWII game where you are The Boss in German occupied France all running on the Fox engine. That sounds so good.

Rising as its own series would be a good idea. Mainly since it would be something MGuniverse related that would hopefully keep going forward.
Since it seems like everything kojima will be doing with MGS is all in the past of the series.

she was a terrible VA.
This, right here. Constant overuse of Big Boss has really spoiled the mystique of the character... Big Boss was an almost mythical character in the lore prior to MGS3, and then MGS3 gave him a lot of character development, which is where it should have ended. Right now, The Boss is in that nice mythical status where Big Boss used to exist. Giving her more exposure is the best opportunity ever to turn a revered character into a normal one.
Don't give into the urge, Kojima. You've been shitting on Solid Snake for years. He is the MAIN CHARACTER of the franchise. It's time to rescript Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and make them fit nicely into the canon again.

For fuck's sake, stop ruining Metal Gear even more than it already has. We need original games.

Wow, playing as The Boss would be an awesome idea. Ever since I fought the Cobra unit in MGS3 I've wondered what it'd be like to fight in WWI alongside them. You can bet your ass the final boss would be some Nazi prototype weapon... that roars.
It has to roar. That's a requirement.
Oh, and a Metal Gear Rising sequel is cool too. Metal Gear + Platinum Games is a match made in heaven.

The contrast between the image I get of Kojimas (and Shinkawa too, for that matter) lifestyle now, with the extravagant Rising tour across Europe, and the way he seemed back in the late nineties with the MGS1 documentary is quite staggering. I do wonder at times if affected him to such a degree that he's planning to coast on the success of MGS for the rest of his career.
A more factually incorrect statement has never been made.

Theme too risky for release
Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, the latest game in Hideo Kojima and Konami’s long-running military drama that debuted in a flashy demo last summer, may not come out at all according to the idiosyncratic director.
Kojima:
“It’s always about killing aliens and zombies. Not that I don’t like those kinds of games. They are fun, but I think games have a long way to go before they can mature. Over the past twenty-five years I have tried to work with the Metal Gear series to introduce more mature themes, but it hasn’t gotten there yet. Compared to movies and books it still has a long way to go.”

It's his Star Wars, so probably. Not that I'm trying to compare him to Lucas, but he loves it too much.
Lurid headline. Is this your website?

I want Metal Gear games forever. I will never get tired of this series.

YES. PLEASE.
Dude seems so pigeon-holed. I LOVE Kojima games, but I'm really ready for him to develop a new, personal project. I'm totally cool with him bringing in other studios, such is the case with Platinum. I'd rather him take a removed "creative supervisor" kind of role while directing something new.

well nobody gives a shit about kojima's involvement with Rising anyways I'm sure. it's the beautiful gameplay and batshit platinum cutscenes that got people hooked.
make it a series.
best metal gear game since 2.
edit: that godfather 2 idea is great, I wish. and yes kojima pretty much is george lucas now. mgs4 was prequel tier.
I want them until Kojima retires and then never again.

What is wrong with you people. One of the best female characters ever.
Indeed, in fact I can think of so painfully non-love interest non-sexualized strong major female characters, she was a breath of fresh air. I'd love a new game with --
--- oh. Damn that's... a good point and now I don't want that game anymore. ;_;
lol, only if Team Ninja is the dev. xD
