Metal Gear Solid 5 in the works?

[mangle]

Posting it in Sony as MGS4 was exclusive to PS3 so i'm guessing if this is true it could be too.

Look when the thunder crashes, looks sure as hell like a 5 to me.

[TonyBest]

:O nice find, and yeah that is a 5 after the thunder strikes

By the look of the timer i would say its coming out sometime July

Errrr, the first number is hours not days

Friday 2am GMT I believe its counting to.

you shouldnt have posted in sony tbh for these reasons....

Nothing has CONFIRMED that it will even be the next metal gear solid (looking at the source code of the website it does have a tag as "MGS" but this could easily be because konami knows that when people look for this website using google or w.e they will be looking for a website that is MGS related as it is konami's biggest franchise of the moment
There is no mention of it being a game that will be on the sony platform only

[mangle]

Ask someone to move it then :)

[Fez]

I bet it's Zone of Enders and Kojima is just toying with us all.

Look the fact is MGS4 was 37Gb and Kojima always try to outdo the last mgs, also bringing it to the 360 in the current story arc would be stupid as nobody would have any idea about the recurring plot themes etc...

The best bet of it coming to 360 is if Kojima start a new story arc within the MGS universe.. and tbh there's a fair chance of that happening due the the limited timespan of snake.


Unless.. Raiden

the two gta episodes are yet to be confirmed that they are not coming to the ps3, yet all threads about that are in the microsoft section.

Microsoft bought the exclusive rights, full exclusive rights to distribute both packs. Forever.

Game, Set and Match!

And I know this is going to sound PAINFULLY obvious but Raiden in Japense means Thunder and lightning, just like on the splash.

Asking me now, I'd say it's far too obvious to be a MGS.

[Fez]

I would lol if Kojima just popped into the Microsoft conference and yelled "MGS5" and the world went mad. Then all of a sudden it turned out to be an entirely different series like Me Good Son 5. Wait, that sounds like the work of Sony...

I'm gonna actually say, it's going to be something completely different and at the same time wonder how much work they've done in just one year since MGS4

[Technologic]

Then again, tonnes thought MGS 4 was going to be on the 360 too...

[mangle]

Apprently it runs out on June 1st, Microsofts E3 conference date.

*is worried*

I don't mind any other series, game or anything going multiplatform, 'cept GTA... and we know what happened, but MGS is a trademark. For all of it's terrible dialogue and bad writing, it is a cinematic masterpiece within the dodgy mess that is the gaming market. It's an absolute marvel and a shining soul of dim hope against the horde of grind that stuffs this market full.

If it goes multiplatform, it will be a terrible shame. Not only for Sony but Microsoft will have a whole new franchise on their hands - possibly. God knows what they'd do with it, but knowing them: sell it to death. Mark my words, MGS would be ruined by M$

[strutz]

It does look like a 5 however the creator of Metal Gear Solid mentioned that number 4 was the last. I'm guessing either he's changed his mind or the production company (Konami) is continuing it without his guidance. If it is it will be no-where near as good.

MGS4 filled a bloody 50GB disc with stupid amounts of compression hence installing everything onto the drive.

How
will
it
fit
on
to
a
DVD
?

*points to GTA IV*

Want a game but it won't fit on your console's disk? No need! Just pull out the chequebook and ruin the game! Profits still remain!

[Technologic]

That's not how Kojima rolls....

[J0SH]

Didn't they say MGS4 was the last one, I haven't played the game but didn't Snake die or something? So I'd be suprised if they did make a MGS5.

[Oleh]

they could just do like lost oddessy and ship with multiple disks and like a coupon for a half price 120gb hdd and then you install the 2nd disc and so on onto that and just run off the 1 disc and hdd :)

[dbgtz]

Snake didn't die, he attempted suicide though (if I remember right).
Also it doesn't have to be based on him. Lots of games change their character you play.

Well I'll just wait until they announce what on earth it is.

[Technologic]

the bloody site crashed when the timer reached 0

[Southe,]

1. If MGS went multiplatform it would get ruined i think imo. plus i lose another reason for buying a Ps3

2. Kojima said this would be the last game involving Solid but they could do more with Naked like MGS3

3. It would be good if they remade Metal Gear Or MGS. But i wouldnt mind a new MG? maybe follow Raiden or someone else.

[Technologic]

Lol, MGS was sort of remade for MGS4

[Technologic]

Just to add information: The countdown timer reset. It now flashes an E and a 3 (obv lol) and it's counting down to like 2am on wednesday morning

Theres also rain so im guessing that the main character is going to be a weather forecaster and there are also dead tree's so im presuming its set just post-christmas...

sorry im being pedantic to prove a point

Did you even read the second bit of my post?
Where I said I think its TOO obvious to be a Metal Gear Solid game, no MGS = No Raiden.

[Misawa]

Couldn't stand 4. All visual and no substance.

[dbgtz]

the creator said like if there was another one they wouldnt be involved or something.

Hmmm. It now flashes an image of Naked Snake (Big Boss) who was the protagonist in MGS3

A "P" an "S" and a "3" also an "E" and an "R" The P S and 3 flashes in succession, as do the 3 and 5(?) which makes me think the plots og MGS3 and 5 are linked. The R also is muc brighter than the other images.

personally if it is mgs i hope snake is still there.

That should spice things up a little.

Thats not mine btw, I just like to steal links from others.

[MrPinkPanther]

The thing is though they've rotated loads of them around which seems a bit silly to me. A lot of them are assumed like the "R" to mean Raiden, I know he appears in it but the R may be something different. The O could mean oxide like the rumours say or the PO could mean Portable Ops as has just been confirmed for the PSP. I doubt this is all over the just confirmed portable ops but you never know.

[Wootzeh]

unlucky guys, metal gear rising, on xbox 360 too :)

[Southe,]

wasnt made by kojima so not as fussed

[Technologic]

It's on PS£ and PC and 360 lol.

Holy Bum on Toast.
