will probably be another big boss chapter.

[Codyman155]

Ahaha cool! Will be looking foward to this!

[The Heartbreak Kid]

As much as I'd like to see another Big Boss chapter, a part of me really wants to see a sequel to the MGS 2 story and show how Raiden became the way he was in MGS 4....

Ninja Raiden FTW!   

[KPT25]

probably that's what's gonna be like...We know that Snake won't be the main character because he's too old  by now

[Violent Ken Masters]

I don't see this having anything to do with Raiden actually, I mean the way MGS4 ended with Raiden (I'm gunna be a good daddy and husband! YAY ME! ^_^)

Obviously Merryl settled down with Johnny which was still retarded.

To be honest, for me... No Snake, no buy.

Edit: Also that would make a great mugen stage.

 i heard the Kojima was threatened to be killed if he didnt make another one by a random person. is it true? it happens

they planned for mgs 5 after releasing 4 but they never gave much info about it except for the raiden TGS poster.
rumors say that they will probably announce an x360 version of mgs4 as well as 5 or another x360 exclusive mgs...i don't think that x360 is getting 4 myself but maybe a 4 substance is more likely if that even happens.

i want a new big boss game myself, mgs = snake, and big boss is just the same as snake, personally i'm not fond of raiden, and how they stressed the idea of raiden being a bigger cool than snake is never really worked for me (even tho they did try hard by making raided kill like 25 metal gears in mgs 2 and how he kills the gekos easily in mgs 4 while making snake struggle against a single metal gear or geko).

[xPreatorianx]

Yea raiden was a panzy in MGS2 then as far as ive seen(have not beat mgs4 yet so please cover spoilers) they made him look all cool. I don't understand that.

[b.easy]

I think it's gonna be about Raiden during the years between MGS2 and MGS4. There's of gaps in the story, like how he rescued Sunny and how he got all that ninja stuff.

Plus, Raiden = storm in japanese and that's exactly what the page shows.

yeah it still could be a raiden game since mgs3 was bigboss's and mgs4 was snake's, i hope it's not a raiden game tho.

I was thinking more of a backstory between MGS2 and MGS4..

Kind of like how Chain of Memories tied KH and KH2 together.

[Nilakantha]

I don't understand all the Raiden hate, I always thought he was a nice character, so I'm all for a Raiden game.

Well you see the thing is, Snake is an iconic character.

He's like the Japanese version of Batman.
Now imagine a game that was about Batman, you're 20% through the game, and all of a sudden you've been forced to switched to play as Robin which would be a look and soundalike of the Robin from those Joel Schumacher films.

Then you'd understand how the MGS fans felt when Snake was replaced in the remainder of MGS2.

Although MGS5 might be about Raiden because


^Which was mostly a Terminator parody

[Nilakantha]

Uh..I am a MGS fan and I have no problem switching main characters.  I mean in Rockman X4 Zero takes the lead.  While everyone was whining about Raiden's switch in Metal Gear Solid 2, I was enjoying the game and having fun.  Plus Kojima likes Raiden better than Snakes, just like Inafune likes Zero better than X.

Playing as Raiden also helped set up the true bad @$$-ness that is Snake now .

[AceWonder20]

A Raiden game?  Im kinda on the fence with this.  Ninja games are cool and all but

No Snake, no buy.

Yeah.

From what I heard, he only made Raiden to get fangirls to start playing the game because girls didn't want to play as a hardcore cool like Snake, + he poked so much fun @ Raiden in that parody... it's very hard to believe that he actually likes Raiden more. I think after 4 it should have just ended.

Metal Gear has been around for like 22 years. It's time to end it before things get out of hand... even though they already got out of hand with Meryl getting hitched with the comedy relief character, and Snake giving in a early retirement.

Weird, why would Kojima care so deeply for a parody character?  So Kojima should end the series over one character?  It's strange because in Japan Raiden is one of the favorites among male MGS gamers.  Oh well.

[Yung Kratos]

I hope Raiden is the main man and MGS is my favorite series right next to God of War the story of Snake is done and Raiden is the man to step up and lead the series i mean i wouldnt mind maybe some playing time as Snake in MGS 5 but i think snakes appearance should be kept to a minimum let the series take off in a new direction.

[ssjcage]

COUNTDOWN TO 2 HOURS!!!!

But anyway, I think that Raiden received a lot of bad reviews for one reason: he wasn't Snake, he was exactly the same as MGS2 Snake, ability-wise, but the fact that he was a bit more "human" than Snake prompted ill will.  Then, in MGS4, Raiden became  the ninja character (every MGS game has a ninja-like character).  Which made him cooler than Snake for the moment.  But I always liked Raiden, because I saw Snake as a walking gun, but was different, yet the same.  Anyway, if MGS5 is about Raiden,

(click to show/hide)

or even his son, John,

I'd still play it.

[Violent Ken Masters]

Meh. I didn't really care for Raiden in MGS4. Reasons.

1. High heels... wtf.
2. "I'm not afraid of death"...emo.....
3. He kind of had a few emo fits through out the game, the one that bothered me the most was at the end where he couldn't even recognize his own son.... which looks exactly like him!

Although I think after he found out everything his emo-ness was cured... I hope so. ..and he needs new boots. Not high heels.

Guess who's back.


So yeah, no Raiden. 

[.:K.I.N.G:.]

i thought it was big boss too but it turned out that this is not big boss, it's said to be the perfect clone of big boss or the real son of big boss which means that he is entirely a new snake not mentioned before yet it's said that he played a rule in the classic mgs games, and mgs4, raiden is still might be the main character in the upcoming game but the one from this pic isn't raiden as well (it's said that this is "gray fox" and not raiden) making gray fox and raiden look like clones is off imo, if raiden even looked like gray fox then i guess snake would have noticed it in mgs2 or mgs4.

i'm down for gray fox even if they made him look like raiden.
said to take place 7 years after mgs4, it's getting really inserting tho

[Yung Kratos]

I always thought there was a connection between gray fox and raiden because if you look at young gray fox (Null) they actually do look alike and there stories are the same (emotionless white haired killing machine from africa)

[The Rippah, Roo'Jizah Panzermanathod]

Had I the  money I'd get a MGS5 provided it was a prequel to 4. I have no real qualms with Raiden, so I don't mind him...

it's said to be the perfect clone of big boss

Solidus Snake.

Solidus is dead, he was the boss of mgs2.

i never though their was a connection between gray fox and raiden, except for the ninja stuff and sword play that is.
