Would be pretty cool a MGS4 PC Edition.

 

[PhaseJump]

God. Fucking. Damn it.

I'm going to have to get whatever the hell the name of their new console is just for this (Series S? Series X? All the names sound the same.). On the other hand, a PS5 doesn't really look worth getting in comparison with PS4. But then PS5 will probably get Persona 6 3-4 years from now and I'll have to get it. I've never had to get all the big three consoles at once.



Would be amazing, but those are going to get lost as time goes by. I'd rather get whatever Iga cooks up next anyway - MS would never make a Castlevania game in that style.

Assuming Microsoft doesn't buy Sega, and make Persona 6 exclusive.

 

[ManaByte]

Xbox gets MGS and puts a 60fps MGS4 port on GamePass.

Then gives Kojima an unlimited budget to make MGS6 exclusive to MS.

Phil after buying MGS:

 

[FranXico]

"Oh please be true! Please be true!

Let them BUY EVERYTHING!

It's not that I want my favorite trillion dollar corporation to attain a monopoly over the largest entertainment industry, as if that actually would end up being a good thing for me as a consumer.
No, not at all. I'm not a fanboy. Really. I'm not that stupid!

I just want to enjoy the meltdowns! Just the meltdowns..."

 

[PhaseJump]

Buy Castlevania too!
And Suikoden!
And Dance Dance Revolution!
And Vandal Hearts!
And ZOE!
And Tokimeki Memorial!
And Contra!
And Silent Hill!
And Rocket Knight Adventures!
And Rumble Roses!

You're missing the greatest of all.

Phil after buying MGS:

On stage at E3:

"An iconic game series has joined Xbox Game Studios...."

Metal Gear logo.

"...and an iconic series needs an iconic creator..."

Kojima comes out.

You might as well shut this place down for a week because it will be Craig x10000.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Somebody really wants Xbox to be PlayStation.

Kojima doesn’t want to work on MGS again. This rumor is absolute bunk and just a copy paste from the PlayStation one. Pathetic.

 

[matty3092]

As much as anyone buying mgs is better than Konami doing nothing with it at this point I don't believe any rumour to do with Konami after the silent hill ps5 exclusive rumor and then mgs 1 remake rumour until it is 100% confirmed I call bullshit on all this

 

[RoboFu]

Do it ! MS has the money to license it and pay for HK to make it. Lol

You're expecting too much.

It became clear over the last decade that those you speak of are not in it for the games.

 

[LordCBH]

I’m fine with whoever can get the game freed from the shitty Konami dungeon.

 

[hemo memo]

I thought Kojima was done with MGS? Anyway, taking the ip out of Konami hands is what matters.

 

[Skifi28]

give Kojima an unlimited budget

I have a feeling this wouldn't go very well.

 

[Azelover]

This is gonna sound insane, but I wouldn't be opposed to that.

I'm a huge all-time MGS fan, but almost anything is better than Konami.

 

[DonJorginho]

Why not. Buy it and give it to the coalition. Get an mgs game without all the melodrama and see how it goes.

I could not think of a worse team to develop a MGS game.

Give it to Kojima or no-one at all.

 

[OrionNebula]

Jim Ryan right now

I’m fine with whoever can get the game freed from the shitty Konami dungeon.

Exactly. And while being there, might as well grab a few more ips laying around and bring ‘em home to the kids

 

[//DEVIL//]

ok, I honestly can't stand to see his face and this smile. it's making me want to punch things.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Can't see how MGS going from Konami to MS is any better. Knowing MS, or modern western developers in general, they'll make the game as less offensive and safe space as possible in order to appeal to the global demographic.

Sounds like you need a safe space from videogames

 

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

I thought Kojima was done with MGS? Anyway, taking the ip out of Konami hands is what matters.

Hes like a rockstar who wants to go solo, he'll be back for the cash grab once he realizes no one likes his solo albums.

 

[Imtjnotu]

If you can't beat them, buy them

 

[jroc74]

Considering Sony have had the movie rights for ages, I'm calling bullshit on this.

You think they are going to pay for that without some consideration in the deal for games? Get real!

Damn, I forgot about this.

Oscar Isaac seems like the perfect face too.

Now I'm starting to doubt this. Especially with everything else movie and TV show related Sony is doing with games. Unless MS snatch it up quick before Sony can make a tie in with the movie.

 

[LordCBH]

Jim Ryan right now

Exactly. And while being there, might as well grab a few more ips laying around and bring ‘em home to the kids

I’m down with shit getting freed from the Konami dungeon. Not like those bastards are doing anything with those games and ips.

 

[Hendrick's]

Please also grab Castlevania on the way out.

 

[MAtgS]

So Microsoft is buying Metal Gear so they can release a collection on PS5 that includes a Gamecube remake Nintendo owns the code for.

Am I following these rumors correctly?

 

[Woo-Fu]

Wouldn't have a problem with this at all. Not like we can trust Konami with it now that Kojima has left the building.

 

[Great Hair]

ok, I honestly can't stand to see his face and this smile. it's making me want to punch things.

I ORDER YOU TO LOVE HIM!
TO RESPECT HIM!
NEVER TO DISOBEY HIM!
HE IS YOUR NEW OVERLORD.

TO AMEND YOUR SINS, BOYCOTT GAMEPASS.

 

[longdi]

Please dont....

MG saga is complete, finish, done. Even Kojima is sick of it.

MGSV shows how much milk there is left, ie. none. The plot and characters were reaaally stretched.

Lets move on to new things.

 

[Interfectum]

If this end up being true... the internet that day...

 

[Arachnid]

This would be awesome if true. I wonder if they would give Kojima the budget and time to make a true MGS 6?

I just want one more game with prime Solid Snake. Please, find a way to fit that into the timeline Kojima. We had a single game with him. One.

 

[AJUMP23]

Big if true.

 

[eastcoastkody]

another day another W for the green guys

 

[hybrid_birth]

Konami is now only a zombie, a shadow of its former 90s self.

But MGS is dead too. All the story arc is completed, how much more milk they can extract from that corpse?

Come on man. A corpse? Microsoft Game Studios ain't dead. They just bought a ton of developers.

Oh you were describing metal gear solid. My bad. I need my glasses. I agree.

 

[mortal]

Meh big deal. I'm so glad Kojima has finally moved on from Metal Gear games. I've moved on as well. I say this as a huge fan of the Metal Gear series.

There's beauty in finality.

 

[Neolombax]

Wow, huge if true. Microsoft keeps buying things with that big pocket of theirs. Hopefully it pays off.

 

[Concern]

Microsoft going for the kill

 

[mansoor1980]

MGS and SILENT HILL xbox exclusive developed by kojipro and published by microsoft , it will happen

 

[EDMIX]

This is big if true.
May be part of the deal between Microsoft and Kojima Prod.

From ACG:

Also (1h10m10s):



"Who owns the IP for Metal Gear ? Konami does right ? Yeah, APPARENTLY they are..."

And now the finish move:

Best case is Microsoft get the licence, and give it to Kojima for an exclusive game. I guess fan can only be happy (rather than watching Konami destroying the saga)
Source

I would be ok with this.

The NEW MS is more open about allowing developers to freely create and Konami doesn't know shit about what to do with that IP.

Any MGS with Kojima is a day 1. I'm fine either way this deal end ups if its true.

 

[Reality Czar]

Sounds like bs rumor from people who can't let go.

Kojima himself is done with Metal Gear. MGSV was the finale. It connects the entire series together. Nowhere else to go.

The fact this rumor connects them buying Konami to him makes it really sound like fan fic.

 

[Larxia]

Buy Castlevania too!
And Suikoden!
And Dance Dance Revolution!
And Vandal Hearts!
And ZOE!
And Tokimeki Memorial!
And Contra!
And Silent Hill!
And Rocket Knight Adventures!
And Rumble Roses!

Actually played zone of the enders for the first time on PC a few months ago, and it was amazing. Such an insane and unique experience, I would totally love a new episode with even crazier stuff.

 

[Raonak]

Sounds like it's just a redo of the previous BS rumour.

how about Rising 2 tho? lol

Snake's story is over for sure, but that doesn't mean they couldn't go in and have a completely new character ark in the same universe. Raiden would be of course the easiest one to transition over to

 

[Lanrutcon]

We need more MGS. Make it happen somehow.

 

[SentientStone]

If this happens, it would be the greatest megaton onto my Sony fanboy heart.

there has to be some truth with all these metal gear rumours but yeah i think this aint it. maybe the original rumours about sony doing a remake is true. they were always tight with konami before so i can see them working something out.

 

[Unknown?]

Are they buying it on a Wednesday? So they would have to publish the MGS collection and exclusive Blue Point MGS remake on PS5?

 

[reinking]

Microsoft rumor about buying something....

...we will have to wait and see how many of these shake out to have truth. Sega will be MS owned any Wednesday now.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

If it means we’ll get another Kojima MGS then I’m all for it. That would be incredible.
