Metal Gear Raiden? (MGS5?)

The Hideo Kojima Keynote at GDC was a hilarious speech that covered the entire scope of the Metal Gear franchise and everything that designing the series entailed. With graphics that featured a conceptual Snake leaping, climbing and occasionally falling from stumbling blocks, it was truly entertaining. However, there was definitely something that stood out towards the end of the presentation. As Kojima was mentioning the distinction between Japanese designer driven games and Western technology driven games, he mentioned that he felt that a combination of the two methods should be used. He stated that this was the direction that he felt Metal Gear should go, and as the animation played out, a frame stopped with large letters stating: the next MGS. The startling thing was standing behind these words – a conceptual figure of Raiden stood behind this phrase with his back turned towards the screen. It was tiny, but it was distinctly the cyber ninja.

Could this mean that Raiden will definitively be the focus or the hero for the next Metal Gear Solid game? Plenty of speculation has raged online since Metal Gear Solid 4, primarily because so much was made about the end of Snake. While there obviously were no details given in the keynote, simply having Raiden present is a large tipoff to the direction of the new game. It also raises another question: could this potentially be the game that Kojima mentioned yesterday in his interview with us? Time will tell, and we'll bring whatever news is announced at E3 about Kojima's next project.

If this happens, it needs to be a Ninja Gaiden clone of some sort. The Metal Gear mechanics simply wouldn't work while playing as the Raiden we saw in MGS4.

Here's hoping.

I bloody hope not.

That'd be a terrible direction to go with, it needs to be different enough for new gamers but faithful enough to the old MGS so that fans will enjoy it too.
Though I'd hoped Kojima would move on from MGS like he said he would, with ZoE 1 and 2 he showed he's capable of immense things beyond MGS. Plus, I'd like to see that horror game he hinted at years ago...

Hmm, intersting. Maybe the game will cover the story of Raiden rescuing Olga's baby?

I love Raiden. :wub:

All they need to do is man him up a bit, slow him down, no more backflipping acrobatics. Make him a bit buffer. The voice acting for Raiden in 4 was fine. Look forward to it! :mrgreen:

We found that out in 2002!

I'm with chalky. A Gaiden-esque game makes sense. Third-person mental scrapping with all sorts of impossible manouevres and a suitably bonkers plot tying it all together? Why the strawberry float not?

Giant QTE Metal gear Fights?

Im turning...

It's not a modern videogame if it's not got a section where you pilot a mech.

(Seriously, what's with that? FEAR 2, Resistance Retribution, Killzone 2...I'm half expecting Ueda to announce Shadow Of The Stompy Mechs at E3.)

Kojima sort of redeemed the character a bit in MGS4, but I'd still hate to see him take the reigns of the franchise. Just, dont.

I'm with MCN. Raiden Gaiden would be a brilliant name.

They could do a spin off game about gardening and call it.

Raiden Garden Gaiden.
( fp if necessary)

It could be set on an ocean liner - Poseidon Raiden Gaiden.

Bleh, I'm sorry. I genuinely don't think I'd buy this game if it was all about Raiden. I'd at least need Snake on 24/7 codec support.

Raiden Hayden Gaiden.

If he got to strawberry float her, would it be Raiden Ridin' Hayden Gaiden?
