Technically, no game is necessary. So long as there are people out there who'll enjoy then end product, the game has a reason to exist, I believe.
I still think they should do a Metal Gear Solid: Zero. Take the stories of the two Metal Gears from the 8-bit era and put them into one game...a next-gen game. It's Solid Snake's first mission, Big Boss is the guiding force on the codex. It has Gray Fox in it, etc. Then it all ends with the battle royale of Solid Snake vs Big Boss. Could be a great game. Or call it Metal Gear Solid: Origins
But to answer the question, any MGS game is welcome. Be it 5, 0, 6, etc.

What grey said. It doesn't neccesarily mean it's a continuation of 4, or that even Snake Raiden or Big Boss are back. It could be a whole new hero. Assassin's Creed series will mix up settings in their numbered titles; Snake Eater mixed things up too. As long as it's good, "5" could be anything.
Its not about MGS5...its more about...Is a good game necessary? and the answer is always yes.
You know kojima said that there wouldnt be any more MGS after 2 (look were that got us). However, pretty much every single MGS out there was either good, great or a masterpiece. If MGS5 ends up being made, and eds up being good...who are we to complain?

If the series ends I want no "what if's" I want to be done with it like how a finale should end.
I am very interested in seeing what MSG5 has in store.

@greyline108; agreed, but for the sake of discussion, I'd buy one if released. I'd just like rising to at least get a damn release date before talks of a mgs5...its slowly creeping into ffversus13 territory. I'd be interested in possibly going back and taking on the role of liquid(snake) if they do a 5th.
No. Not at all. Let the series die. It already exists way too far up Kojima's ass. It doesn't need to go up any further.
I think MGS5 is inevitable, but I don't think Kojima should be involved. Dude needs to move on to new ideas and let a new generation head up Metal Gear.
I say this every time but I really wish Kojima would go back and update the original Metal Gear 1 & 2 for this new generation if only because I'd be interesting to revisit Solid Snake as a rookie and There's a whole plethora of ways they could retell those stories.
It'd beat the need to make a sequel and still involve Snake.

MGS isn't as bad as some other franchises when it comes to "milking" so if its been four years since the last, go ahead and make another in the series for the fans if they want it. I would hope that they don't use Snake as the main character though. He can make a cameo or supporting character, but just let him be for the most part.
I don't think it matters if its necessary or not -people love the series and more will be made to fill that void in peoples lives and make Konami lots of money.
Besides, theres no reason to even believe that the game needs to fit into the series that just "ended" for all we know 5 could be like "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" and totally go off in an unknown, ridiculous, different, direction or focus on different things of the period unrelated to the story that just ended -giving the series a whole new coat of paint and even more crazy stories to tell. In a world with giant metal robots being used to launch nukes, I hardly believe that what Snake's fighting at the time is the ONLY threat there is.

The problem is MGS story fired in a lot of direction and now it's difficult to tie each end. But what do I know? I'm from N-A, I expect too much from Japan.
Considering I have absolutely no clue what happened in MGS4 despite having played through it three times, I don't know if 5 is necessary or not. I'll take more Raiden kicking ass with a sword held in his teeth though. That was pretty cool.
Jim, I don't think Kojima can take it any farther than the very last cutscene in MGS4, right after the credits. That was my favorite WTF moment ever and will never be surpassed.
That being said, I would absolutely love to see more MGS games outside of the numbered series. Let MGS4 be the end of it, but bring on more Risings and Peace Walkers. Also, I agree with APStephens. I've long wanted Konami to remake MG1 and 2 with a modern engine.
Mostly I'll just take any excuse I can to get more David Hayter. The man crush I have on that guy.

Personally, I say if the gameplay is great and the story has to be told, than bring it on. I still need to actually buy MGS4, I've been holding off on that game for a long time.
Oh, and if they do 5, hopefully there is a better gameplay to cutscene ratio. I know mgd4 had a lot of loose ends to tie up and everything, but once you made it about halfway through the game, there was just about as much sitting and watching as there was playing.
I love the MGS series, and i think that 4 was a worthy ending. But im torn as to weather the game needs another sequel or not. I'd like another MGS game just because i love the gameplay in the series, but i wonder who would be the main character. Well, here's to hoping it'll be good a good game, cause that's all that matters in the end :)
It doesn't matter, MGS6, MGS7, MGS30. As long as the games are good, enjoyable, interesting and fun they can make as many Metal Gear games as they like.
You guys do remember the this is not the first MGS5 right???
Peace Walker was MGS5 last time this could be another time. Also the article was Kojima talks PLANS of MGS5

Where is there to go from here? Snake is on deaths doorstep (if not gone already) and Raiden is getting his own game. I love me some MGS and all but I don't know how the story can continue...

Ironically MGS1 did get a remake on the Gamecube.
People are saying the MSX (or Nintendo) games should be remade.

MGS story satisfying wrapped up? I don't see how that could happen, given how wacked-out, meta and borderline absurd the whole thing is. But that's kinda the charm of the series, love it or hate it. Personally I'd be fine with more psychotic octopi, cola-swilling monkeys, and rapidly aging altered clones and ninjas.

I don't really think it's necessary, but "necessary" isn't really a word that game developers understand. If anything, the only new MGS title to come out should be a next-gen remake of the first two MG games from the 8-bit era. Frankly I would have had them do that in lieu of the somewhat needless MGS HD Bundle that just came out. I suppose it would have been a different project altogether so not really competing, but still. Anyone clamoring for new game so every thread of MGS's story can be wrapped up is seriously deluding themselves. In all likelyhood, a new game would simply add more lose ends to the equation.
NO. I think it ended fucking beautifully. Anything done beyond MGSIV would be a complete bastardization of one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. It would be absurd to continue after ending so well.
I'm all about some more MGS gameplay and crazy Kojima storytelling, though, so I'm willing to accept something already existing in the saga thus far. That's why I think a remake of MG and MG2 would be the best thing. A better, more fleshed out story for those games and seeing Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land in HD would be pretty epic. And killing Big Boss with a zippo and aerosol... I mean, goddamn that would be amazing, right?

I'm all for other angles of the universe being explored or MG and MG2 being repurposed to fit MGS, but I do think if there's a story set past MGS4 that Snake should still be left at MGS4, which was a good place for his story to end.
Of course, with Kojima on the case, I'm sure he'd find a way to make Snake relevant, but I've liked his historical fiction better than his future fiction. It's just hard to top MGS3 and Peacewalker's stories and gameplay.

Sure, why not? Its been a consistently good series, hasnt been rammed down our throats on a yearly basis so as to waste all good capital it has out there. The story maybe wrapped from 4 but who says 5 will have to be a direct sequel to that. From a business standpoint it would be plain dumb for Konami to not make more games with such a high profile brand.
@ brown eye
Why would a retelling (not remake) be a bad thing? If it turns out anything like the GC version of Resident Evil,then I'm all for it.
I think as long as it doesn't veer too much from the main plot, I'm sure another MGS would be awesome. I haven't played part 4 (release it on 360 already geez) but I've loved every single installment before the latest one.

If they do make a new game, they should start over, from scratch, new story, few reacuring characters.
I loved the MGS series, but with each iteration, the story only gets more convoluted and I think it takes away from the series as a whole. I really wish Kojima would try something truly new. He's one of the few developers that thinks almost entirely outside of the box, and I'd like to see what he creates when he's not trying to shoe horn a game into the mechanics and story of a series that's 13 years old.
I feel sorry for Kojima since he can't get away from Metal Gear Solid because it is Konami's biggest brand. I am pretty angry we are getting another Metal Gear Solid game before Zone of the Enders 3.
No. More MGS style games are always welcomed, but I would rather play as another protagonist and another storyline than prolong Solid Snake's one too much.
I'd like to see more of the MGS universe but I'd think it'd be better without Snake, don't get me wrong I love Snake and think he's an amazing character I just feel as though MGS4 should be his last hurrah and the series should move on with new characters.
I'd love to see more detailing what went on in Russia or China during the MGS timeline, or more about the PMCs that we saw a little of in MGS4 - It'd be cool to see more of the near-future tech we saw in 4, especially if it was done using a new protagonist.
