Kojima: Solid Snake will return in Metal Gear Solid 5

sounds like a misinterpretation of what he said. where in that article is a quote from kojima saying "solid snake will be in mgsV?" that's a click-bait headline

and why would kojima say that, then a year later say that he can't tell us if solid snake is in or not because it would be a spoiler?

I love how Ayako (Personal Assistant of Hideo Kojima) always calls Kojima BOSS on twitter.

It was from IG Magazine:

There were about a million outlets who got the info from them and they confirmed the quotes to be accurate. Besides, he says they aren't through with Solid Snake and then says it will be his last Metal Gear. Saying it's his last Metal Gear means nothing -- saying we aren't done with Solid Snake AND saying it's his last Metal Gear does.

Well to be fair, that doesn't mean it has to be Kojima's game that Solid Snake appears in. He has said numerous times that once he is truly done, he'll handpick his successor. Solid Snake could come back, just not in a Kojima written/directed game.

Well yes it does, the MGS series is Kojima's baby, he let his team gave it a try with Rising and failed miserable without Kojima.

If you ask Kojima today what's his favorite character he'd probably say "Solid Snake" since this character gave him the huuuge success with MGS1.

So there is absolutely NO WAY in hell Kojima would let his staff handle a Solid Snake story alone, especially after what they've done with MGR.

What his team did with MGR? His team did an awesome job. They completely botched the project and gave it to Platinum and made it the awesome

Which leads me to believe that once Kojima is truly done with MGS, then that will be the canon and everything else, even stuff he hands down to his team, will be parallel.

Honestly, the original Rising looked really fun. They just couldn't get the design down correctly. It seems they had the story, setting, and gameplay, but they didn't know how to compile it all into a fun experience. That's unfortunate, but oh well. Kojima is there to hold their hands through development once again.

His team fucked Rising up, or why do you think they called Platinum Games to develope the game for them? sure KP helped out but PG was the clear developer of this project.

I believe in TPP he wants to close the gap between Solid Snake and Big Boss so he can be done with it and finally move on.

Kojima: Solid Snake will return in Metal Gear Solid 5

Note that Kojima never says anything about Solid Snake being in Metal Gear Solid V: merely that "they're not done with him yet" (doesn't mean he'll show up in the next game).
And the bit about baby Snake possibly being in Metal Gear Solid V is just speculation by PSM3.

The problem with that is Kojima will be begged to redo MG1 and MG2 (unless that's somehow in TPP). Not only that, but MGS titles get massive budgets. If Kojima wanted to do something other than MGS, then the budget he'd get would be FAR less. He basically uses MGS to implement his new game design ideas as well as further the story. Unless Kojima slows down with MGS and does a new IP or a ZoE in between MGS titles, he's gonna be stuck to it like he has been since MGS2.

Lol I was making a joke about how them screwing it up lead to Plat developing it and in turn giving us the amazing game we have today

Koji won't let anybody do a MG1 remake except himself. And no way in hell a MG2 remake.

 

[GreyOcelot]

what if kojima just started writing scripts and directing cutscenes for mgs so he could design other games? MGR was a big challenge from a game design perspective because it wasn't a traditional metal gear game. i would think the team could take TPP fox engine and design a good game while kojima handles the story.

it just feels like kojima doesn't really want to give up metal gear, as much as that contradicts what's been said in the past

 

[Plasma Snake]

So, food for thought, whats stopping the future metal gear from taking place in between the events of say MGS1-MGS2.

(after big boss is wrapped up of course)

theres a 6 year gap where snake hooks up with otacon and metal gears are supposely being given out like butt injections. Big Boss is somewhere being rebuilt, and Ocelot is doing god knows what with Solidus.

"they're not done with him yet" (doesn't mean he'll show up in the next game).

When he said that, Ground Zeroes wasn't even announced. Either he was referring to MGS6 which I doubt or the next MGS which is MGSV.

He really wants to close the gap between Big Boss & Solid Snake and The Phantom Pain is that game. It's taking long to complete because it's huge. Take a hint.

 

[Batzi]

Vatching?

 

[EatChildren]

By the end of the game your base/army building stats and choices as Big Boss will become an antagonist setpiece for Solid Snake. During the final chapter you will play as Snake against what you created as Big Boss. And u will rike it.

Well, you may doubt, but it's a possibility. Same thing for, say, hypothetical spin-offs or whatever.

The Gamescom press release says they will show "major advances" of MGSV.

I think it's time for the doge to show up!

Kind of like when we were building Zeke in PW and our creation was used against us. Remember, Solid Snake will be trained by Big Boss.

Yea but what the hell do they mean by "major advances"? And where is Tora????

Release date, MGO, David Hayter, Solid Snake, the game's script in its entirety, three or four playable demos (each set in a different region). You know - nothing short of what we should be expecting.

[Screaming Meat]

A: Solid in, Hayter in.
B: Solid in, Hayter not
C: Solid not in the game
D: Big Boss is Gray Fox

Ah, thanks.

Team B, easily. It won't be 'Kid' Snake though.

I have a feeling we get to see the jungle setting at Gamescom.

Same here. I was thinking that maybe it's not a story trailer but another demo showing a different environment or probably the same Afghanistan setting but showing a different take on the mission. There's gotta be some footage of some sort. Konami has a booth at Gamescom so they have to show something.

"We totally have games that aren't Metal Gear or PES. :lol"

I don't know if this means anything but the guy who said he has contacts at Konami and talked about the release date of MGSV used the jungle pic for this news.

Africa gameplay?Hmm, but maybe that would too spoilerish i guess.

 

[glottis8]

spoilers here we go!

its hard to avoid spoilers... kojima should just not talk anything MGS5 unless its a release date. Anything else i think will start to enter the thin ice of spoiling big things in the game.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Anyway, they showed the jungle setting more than 3 years (!) ago with the Fox Engine demonstration video at E3 2011.

Hell yeah! I've always thought the same thing - the game has been touched up as they've gone along and it's absolutely gorgeous. You know, for some reason, I think we're being thrown off a bit in terms of the game's chronology. Africa was the first area we saw and that was three years ago! Do you think they had Afghanistan done back then, too? Hmm... I'm sure I'm just over-thinking, but you know - I think it's possible.
