Death of Metal Gear, confirmed. Hopefully MGS V is something special. It'll be interesting to see what Kojima's following project will be.
if I were Konami i'd just reboot it
best case scenario it ends up like DmC where some people are outraged and others realize it's a great game regardless
and that way you don't "stain" the series or piss off fans that care about a legacy
then again this is Konami so
So, perhaps handling MGS6 to Kimura if he's still in Konami after that?
What I'm most worried about is Silent Hills, as it looked so promising. If Kojima can at least stay as a freelance developer until the game is complete (especially with how enthusiastic he sounded about this project), my mind would be at ease.
As far as I can see it there are several options for this game:
1. Kojima finishes his directorial duties on it before parting Konami forever.
2. Another director takes his place, probably someone from the more experienced staff from KojiPro left in Konami after the studio disbands.
3. Konami outsources this game to a 3rd rate western developer.
4. The whole project gets canned.
As it should be.
I'll remain skeptic, Metal Gear (Solid) is going downhill after TPP without Kojima.
MGRising on the other hand....
I say good luck understanding the MGS world Kojima has made, I would not like to be the person picking up from that.Konami has lost it.
A Metal gear game without Koijima... heh good luck with that.
I like the way you think.
Is the name Outer Heaven trademarked?

I see don't understand why they would announce this, something not right
This is just trolling and the silence is odd too.
Konami has lost it.

The reasoning behind this is to calm investors who may be worried about the future of the company's largest gaming IP. It's simply a statement to make clear that despite the departure of any staff, production on this series will continue as usual.
It is not an 'announcement' of MGS6. They haven't even hired the staff!
In addition, KONAMI has resolved to embark on production of a new "Metal Gear" series.

^It's safe to assume we're going yearly, guys.
They should Hire Kojima.
Konami HQ: "Get Korn on the line, we're gonna need a new theme song!"
I don't know what stage this is, things like this don't help.You still at denial stage? :/
I thought they'd at least have the good sense to get Platinum to develop Revengeance 2 before going this route.This is a spite-based Metal Gear project.
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!!!
Already! What the fuck went down between Konami and KojiPro? At this rate MGSV might not even come out.
I hope is not Platinum games.
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.
