Metal Gear Solid 4 Not the End

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday May 20, 2008 @05:29AM 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."

Um, I'm browsing at -1 and don't see any AC post. Maybe just IE6 (forced to use at work) being weird.

More to the point, the whole FF being Square's last game thing is a myth. It was released after Dragon Quest, a series which, whilst popular in Japan hasn't caught on as much as FF in the rest of the world. In either case the original DQ was a big hit and made lots of money, so Square have always been OK.
