Maybe Metal Gear Solid 5

The Metal Gear series has been an absolute gem of a universe, created from the great mind Hideo Kojima. When his MGS4 landed on the PS3, it caused shockwaves around the gaming world in its size, scope and attention to detail. Suffice to say, fans of the series want more.

With Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and the soon to be released Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Metal Gear series is prolonged that little bit more. But while it was first thought MGS: Peace Walker was a sequel, slated MGS5, it was soon changed since it was a prequel to various parts of the intricately woven story prior to MGS4.

So, Kojima, what is up? He has stated before he wanted to leave MGS behind, but was that said purely because as the perfectionist he is, the creation of MGS4 wore him out? And all he wanted to do was move on? Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker says otherwise, since in its own right is an absolute brilliant game on the PSP.

There have been rumours for a while of a new PS3 Exclusive from Kojima. Some say it’s a port of MGS:PW, some say its a new Zone Of The Enders, but I’d like to hope for, is the true sequel to one of the best game experiences created this generation, if ever.

Kojima has also said the following on a few occasions “Moving on from the series and hoped that younger members of the staff could take the reigns.” Again, I look to what I wrote about him being burned out after MGS4. But only one person knows for sure…and thats Hideo Kojima. And maybe he has already let slip, at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 he said “Maybe, I’ll do 5.” Now…that is more like it.

For the fans of the series, we know how MGS4 ends, but like all things in the Metal Gear universe, there are many ways to skin that cat. So out with Kojima, we love your work, give us Snake!
