Metal Gear Solid 5 to be revealed at E3?

Eurogamer wrote:Rumour has it that Hideo Kojima may spill the beans on Metal Gear Solid 5 at this summer's annual E3 extravaganza.

That rumour comes from PSM3 magazine, read and quoted by PS3 Center.

Wrote the magazine: "MGS maestro Hideo Kojima's got some big announcements for E3 in June: one a quasi-logical step for an existing game, the other... well, we'd be shocked if MGS5 wasn't on the table at some stage. Or under it. In a box."

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released nearly three years ago, and as yet there's no sign of a direct successor: only action spin-off Metal Gear Solid: Rising, which is tentatively linked to a 2012 launch. However, MGS4 was supposed to be Snake's swansong, his final outing. But the door didn't quite click shut.

What's more, Kojima Productions was spotted hiring staff for a "Next Generation Metal Gear Solid Series Production Staff" earlier this year.

The "quasi-logial step" PSM3 refers to could be a Substance/Subsistence-style expansion for MGS4 - an avenue pursued by Kojima Productions for MGS2 and MGS3.

That "quasi-logical step" could also be a Next Generation Portable version of Metal Gear Solid. Hideo Kojima showed Metal Gear Solid 4 running on NGP during Sony's unveiling of the handheld earlier this year. He also lead development of PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Konami told Eurogamer this morning that it doesn't comment on rumour and speculation.

E3 this year takes place on 7th to 9th June. Eurogamer will be there in force.

What would you like out of a new Metal Gear Solid?

I would like another game starring Big Boss. A full blown sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3. Peace Walker may have been this but no one played it so we can forget it ever happened.

This quote interests me.

one a quasi-logical step for an existing game

Any ideas? A PSN release of Peace Walker perhaps?

Well we know Kojima has said he will reveal his PS3/NGP project at E3.

Rocket launchers on a zimmer frame, please.

Didn't he actually want to stop after 2?

More Metal Gear?

I too am in this thread

No more games set after MGS4. If there's going to be another one, make it a sequel to Peace Walker or a Metal Gear remake.

Too much money involved for them not to do another one.

I thought there was another one, one that involved you slicing through melons.

Mgs HD collection, give it to me, GIVE IT TO ME NOAW!

Rising, rumours are that game is going through development hell and may yet be cancelled.

You bloody better not lying or I'll...

I was actually looking forward to Rising.

duckroll on Gaf is pretty clued up with the people he knows and Rising is meant to be causing a fair few problems. Now if they cancel that and make Z.O.3 I wouldn't mind.

I still haven't finished MGS4 yet. :lol:

Just a wee joke. It would be cool to play Raiden (never thought I would say that! :lol:

) doing what he did best in MGS4.

FIGHT WITHOUT ARMS!

Something Fishy

nothing has been seen or heard really has it.. could well be.

He's probably happy to keep MGS PS only, he seems happier focused on one platform.
