Support NeoGAF

[KyoZz]

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)

well sony or microsoft or another publisher. Doesn't matter. Needs to leave Konami ASAP. That's the same company that charged 10 bucks for a save slot in Metal Gear Survive, so they can burn

 

[TheGodfather07]

rumors about this have been flip flopping all over the damn place. i would be happy just to get another proper metal gear game. if this is true though, i would become an xbox fanboy overnight. MGS is heavily associated with playstation. this would be kick in the balls to sony.

 

[namekuseijin]

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?

 

[Exanthus]

Take it away from Konami after Metal Gear Survival. Christ, even when it was on gamepass I wouldn't play that trash.

 

[mansoor1980]

that microsoft warchest

 

[LordBlodgett]

This would be awesome if true. I wonder if they would give Kojima the budget and time to make a true MGS 6? I could easily see remastered versions of the first 5 games coming to Gamepass. It could be pretty awesome, and I definitely don't see Konami doing anymore with the series since they seem to be all in on mobile games at the moment

 

[MrSarcastic]

Sure. I dare Xbox to do it. and also dare Kojima to make an "exclusive " game with Xbox. I would love to see what happens.

who cares? just bring back david hayter and give us a wide linear style MGS game and im in.

There would be death threats (which I do not condone BTW) from certain people on GAF against Jim Ryans for letting something like that happen.

That sounds fun.

 

[Shodan09]

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

 

[ACESHIGH]

Buy ASAP, buy all Konami IP while you are at it and just port everything to PC. No new games.

 

[Kev Kev]

fuck yes lets go! finish mgsv and release one more game to tie into MG1.

 

[SlimySnake]

Sure. why not. i dont care how it gets made as long as it gets made. sony or microsoft providing the money, what difference does it make as long as bluepoint is doing the work.

bluepoint has worked with ms before. they did the 360 port of titanfall.

sony seems to have their hands full with their own IPs, so maybe MS is the new Sony. at the end of the day, both console makers will be releasing their games on pc at one point or another so if people detest MS so much they can always build a pc.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

 

[oldergamer]

Lol i can imagine the look on some peoples faces

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Holy moly if this is true.

 

[squarealex]

I hope for MS and you fan is true... bc if is not the case... my god... maybe the worst community fanboy ever.

 

[Celcius]

I can't imagine MGS4 on an xbox console... too many playstation references.

 

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

More devastating news for Sony. Dark day for the nation.

 

[XGon'GiveItToYa]

Damn. My favourite game on my favourite console. Now wouldn't that be a sight so see!

 

[Kagey K]

Plot twist Konami is creating all these rumours to try to start a bidding war.

 

[LordBlodgett]

Buy ASAP, buy all Konami IP while you are at it and just port everything to PC. No new games.

This would be great, but unfortunately they are still using some of their IP pretty heavily for Android, IOS, and Switch games. Bomberman, Castlevania, and Contra are still being pimped out on every mobile system and some of the consoles. What other major IPs do they have that are dormant? I think the major ones would be Silent Hill, MGS, and maybe Dance Dance Revolution...

 

[Warnen]

They buy it and get Kojima to make another one....

 

[Dusktildawn48]

They buy it and get Kojima to make another one....

That's the first thing that came into my head

 

[MayauMiao]

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.

 

[MicrosoftMediaPro]

I really like Microsoft's Warchest

 

[MrSarcastic]

Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo too ja ja ja ja.

 

[TheGodfather07]

They buy it and get Kojima to make another one....

please keep kojima away from it. the guys obsession with hollywood actors will do more harm than good.

 

[Shanomatic]

As with all rumors, always assume fake until proven otherwise.

That said, I cannot imagine the meltdown that would occur if this happened lmao; I almost want it to go through just to experience the salt

 

[AmuroChan]

Unless he's changed his mind, Kojima has stated multiple times he didn't want to make any more MGS games. He's wanted to end MGS since his Konami days but Konami kept forcing him to continue the franchise. At this stage in his career, I find it hard to believe that he wants to return to MGS. The man has got so many game ideas in his head that he should go make more new IPs.

 

[Batiman]

Friendship with Jim has ended. Now Phil is his best friend

 

[Pantz]

Never would have imagined it.

Why dontcha slip Snatcher into the deal while you're there, Phil.

 

[SinDelta]

It seems Microsoft is being linked to just about every other potential deal.

Here's to hoping some good games come out of this.

 

[plasmawave]

Kojima is done with MGS. He wants to do new stuff instead of going back to Metal Gear.

 

[Entroyp]

MS is buying everything it seems

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[K' Dash]

Microsoft is not fucking around this time, they're going all in.

 

[YCoCg]

Kojima spends years making it clear he doesn't want to just work on MGS. Does a deal with MS, MS force him to make a new MGS.

Poor man is stuck in a loop.

Force him? I see MS offering to make the game, if he declines I can see The Coalition stepping in and developing it.

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Sure. I dare Xbox to do it. and also dare Kojima to make an "exclusive " game with Xbox. I would love to see what happens.

Me too but for an entirely different reason I am sure

 

[Soleil rouge]

I'm praying that this happens.

 

[VAL0R]

Phil have mercy! Haven't you hurt Bryank75 enough aleady!?

 

[Clear]

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!

 

[infinitys_7th]

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.

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!

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.

 

[lh032]

meh, too many rumors these days, microsoft buy this buy that.

 

[GHG]

At this point I don't care who gets the Konami IP's as long as something worthwhile is done with them.

Get me some Silent Hill as well while you're at it.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

If they buy the license and get Kojima to release a "Director's Cut" of MGS V that would be amazing.
