Death of Metal Gear, confirmed. Hopefully MGS V is something special. It'll be interesting to see what Kojima's following project will be.

Their IP, their engine so why not. Silent Hill hurts tho, PT was soo good.
This is a new "Metal Gear" series, not a new "Metal Gear Solid" series, so yes, a reboot is also possible.

Eh, MGS is practically an annual IP already.
It's unsurprising that they'll keep on milking that cash cow. Unfortunately, they'll be doing it without Kojima, KojiPro, and subsequently the fanbase.
They'll destroy the franchise, much like they did when they ousted Team Silent with Silent Hill.
RIP Metal Gear Solid. Like I said yesterday, the series is dead as we know it.

1 would be most desirable, but if there was power struggles between Kojima and Konami what goes to say that won't affect Silent Hills during development?
Let's just hope MGSV will be the grand finale,a true swan song for Kojima's work(on this series).

I say good luck understanding the MGS world Kojima has made, I would not like to be the person picking up from that.
I bet the next game's trailer starts with a familiar voiceover
who is that?
then David Hayter!! pops into camera but suddenly.. he... removes a mask, and who's under it...? KOJIMA!
!
he was developing it all this time!
but as he starts to talk he suddenly speaks perfect english, so his face removes itself total recall style and who's under it?

Already! What the fuck went down between Konami and KojiPro? At this rate MGSV might not even come out.

I'm with you Kojima-san. This series end with MGSV.

I've got a great idea for MGS 6.
It's the story of a sniper whose mother was killed on the battlefield.
Battling her way up through the military she gets deployed into the heart of a deadly combat zone...
...as a short order cook.
Metal Gear Solid 6: Sunny Side Up

Wouldn't be the first time they did something like that.
They had no trouble dissolving team silent,effectively sealing Silent Hill into a realm of mediocrity.
I agree up to a point. I understand them giving assurances, but it's this that concerns me in particular (Google Translations):
It doesn't seem like they're just replacing

Yikes. Some would say, theres no reason why MGS wouldn't be good even without Kojima but, this franchise, more so than almost any other I know is such reflection of its own creator that its impossible to imagine a Metal Gear game without Kojima's own special brand of design and writing in it.
Metal Gear is literally Kojima, and I don't really think a series without him putting his all into the games is the Metal Gear we've grown up playing over the last 20 years.

Sony press conference, final bit
A trailer with footage from a surprisingly good looking new Metal Gear (not Solid) game
"Let us welcome to the stage the director of the next step in the Metal Gear saga... Mr. Hideo Kojima"
Why get Korn if you can just hire Hiroyuki Sawano instead?

I think this will go about as well as post-Team Silent Silent Hill games.
So completely losing the core appeal of the series, most likely...I mean... Konami had multiple attempts at new visions of the series they nailed originally, and most failed.

I don't know what stage this is, things like this don't help.
It's just wrong on so many levels.
Are you telling me That don't seem like they're just trolling us now? true or not.
Thats trolling.

New MG =/= New MGS
It's more likely than not they'll start a new saga, probably The Boss.

I find it really disconcerting they'd announce they're already thinking of a new Metal Gear series (reboot?) before MGSV TPP is even out!!!

I thought they'd at least have the good sense to get Platinum to develop Revengeance 2 before going this route.
Konami's gone completely loco. They might as well make it official and seek out Denis Dyack to be the new face of Metal Gear. After all, he has franchise experience.
people are freaking out about what'll happen to Metal Gear
or at least that's how Konami understands it
it's a panic move but an understandable one
That games cost too much to not come out.
But I hope that Kojima still has enough control over the project that Konami isn't thinking about dividing it up. Ground Zeroes was such a success. Hopefully it's too late in development to cordon off things for DLC.

Well, one can only hope that they will et rid of the cheesiness now and the series back on track without Kojima.
But I fear that whoever now will helm the series will only make it worse....

At this point I just want Rising 2 to happen and I'll be content with never touching another Metal Gear game afterwards.
Unless by some miracle Konami actually makes something great in which case I'll give it a fair go.

On this note, I do have to say that the fact that Konami (maybe?) isn't ditching large-scale Metal Gear games entirely gives me hope that the rumors of Metal Gear Rising 2 will come true. It'd be a serious disappointment if that game was actually under development and ended up getting cancelled because of this.
I don't see any way that Platinum go through with it if Konami is becoming an anti-Kojima company.
