Metal Gear Solid 5 is NOT confirmed ... yet  photo

Oh, that Hideo Kojima! Everything he touches turns to Troll Dust, and the "announcement" of Metal Gear Solid 5 is no exception. It turns out Official PlayStation Magazine was a little bit liberal with its wording when it teased its MGS5 news, as Kojima didn't confirm anything ... yet. 

Turns out that the mad genius said, "I think we’ll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea," when talking about Metal Gear Solid 5. He went on to say that, whatever the future of Metal Gear Solid holds, he won't be as hands-on as he used to be.

"As far as my involvement in the project is concerned, [it] probably won’t be as much as it was with MGS1 --maybe I can do just one stage! For MGS1 I made the maps myself, laid out the enemy routes myself, did everything hands-on – that level I can’t do again."

Don't worry though, there's still some Kojima fun coming. He recently confirmed he was working on a game codenamed Project Ogre -- but we'll have to wait and find out what that's all about. Maybe it's Metal Gear Solid 5!

Dear Kojima,

Let Metal Gear Solid rest in peace.

And give me some more Zone of the Enders.

Love,

Let us play as Joy or a young Big Boss. Or maybe even young Ocelot or Liquid. No more Raiden though, please.

Dear god, just let it rest already.
I may love the shit out of the MGS franchise, but it's clear Kojima wants to move onto bigger, better things. And MGS can afford to take an extended vacation after MGS4.
But obviously, Konami probably doesn't want that, because it's now pretty much their only franchise that makes money and isn't being outsourced to questionable western developers....yet.

Oh, the number one most important thing is... no more Solid Snake. Let him die already. He is one of the greatest video game characters ever... nothing more should be done with him.

Kojima is the only truly good "troll" in gaming, amist terrible ones like Pitchford and Cage.

wait people are saying this was Kojima trolling...no it was OPM magazine taking his quote out of context.


Kojima i think made it clear he is trying to avoid MGS games he wants do other stuff long as gets round to ZOE3 I could care less...or maybe some Snatcher or Policenaughts

He's doing the typical Kojima/Miyazaki "I will barely be involved!" bit.

Ya Jim you took the Troll Dust and sprinkled it all over Dtoid when that story first hit. You should know all about it!

Doesn't he always say he won't be as hands on as he usually is? Regardless I look forward to seeing where the series goes.

Does that make Jim the Troll Fairy? If so he makes a wonderful fairy. Do you think he has a costume to wear when he goes around to sprinkle the troll dust? I want a pic of that.

After sitting through MGS4's story, the less Kojima is involved, the more excited I will be to play it.

I'm fine with this. Also, he's used that same line for every mgs since 2. I'll believe it when somebody else starts doing the press for the next game. And if he does move on, whatever he does next has my interest.

@Arttemis: I know what you mean. I was very underwhelmed by MGS4. And MGS1. I guess they're just not for me.

I just want to see Kojima do something. Anything really, I just want more Kojima, not more MGS necessarily, not that I’d turn my nose up to it.

well he's already have projects like the Devil Taboo(if it still exists), Project Ogre, collaboration with Suda 51 and 5pb, Fox Engine

plus he has needs to make Zone of the Enders 3(he promises a game in the future), Snatcher/Policenauts with Suda 51 is a must as well.

and yes i said it before, it was only a question regarding MGS5 not a CONFIRMATION of MGS5.

Every time I beat MGS, I laways watch the credits till the end and count how many times Kojima is mentioned. It gets pretty ridiculous, he even did some of the textures.

And this is why blogs need to stop jumping on every little thing in the first five seconds. Remember 'MGS4 is DEFINITELY coming to 360 guys!"?

Wow. That definitely is troll bait. Well, considering Kojima won't leave Metal Gear alone, we all know 5 is going to happen. I would like to see the man do something different, though, and not just cutscenes for a shitty action game.
