Metal Gear Solid 4 Not the End

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the don't-kill-the-golden-goose dept.

1up gaming is reporting that while Metal Gear Solid 4 may be the end of the road for Solid Snake, the series will live on. "The Metal Gear series is one of the most successful (and profitable) in modern gaming. Would it surprise you, then, to learn that Metal Gear Solid 4 might not be the end of the franchise after all, despite recent comments from series creator Hideo Kojima that led some to speculate MGS4 would be the series' last? Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, MGS4 producer Ryan Peyton confirmed that the series will live on after Guns of the Patriots. But while we may see more games with 'Metal Gear' in the title, we may not see 'Solid' in there as well."

    MGS 2 was the "last Metal Gear Solid." MGS 3 was the "last Metal Gear Solid." Kojima is the Barbra Streisand of video games.

    ...The Search For More Money.

    From a nation that's produced 20+ games called "Final Fantasy?"

  4. The End not in Metal Gear Solid 4? by Solra+Bizna · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of course The End isn't in Metal Gear Solid 4. He died in 3, and that was a massive prequel. (Plus, he was already pretty ancient by then.)

    I suppose if he leaves they'll have nobody to write those god awful monologues.

    Uh, Snake (as much as I love the guy) himself is pretty formulaic, I'm afraid.

    Colonel: SNAKE! You must destroy Metal Gear!
    Snake: Metal Gear?
    Colonel: Sigh... We've been through this. Metal Gear is a mobile device capable of launching nuclear missles from anywhere!
    Snake: Nuclear Missles?
    Colonel: Goddamnit, Snake. Didn't you learn anything in the debriefing?
    Snake: Debriefing?
