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!

Let Metal Gear Solid rest in peace.
And give me some more Zone of the Enders.

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.
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.
Yep :D - Miyazaki style.
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.
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.
JEHUTY IN 1080P!!!!!
You don't say...
