Next MGS to revolve around Cyborg Ninja Raiden?

March 26, 2009 in Rumor comments 18

Hideo's Kojima's next project is supposed to be not Metal Gear Solid related, however whether he's involved or not a vital hint to the next game may have been given away at his presentation, the words "Mission: The next MGS" and a picture of Raiden the cyborg ninja from MGS4 in the background being on the last slide. Perhaps an indication he is to play a vital role in the next game? Maybe just symbolic? E3 can't come soon enough!

If you've followed the Live Blog of the Kojima's GDC 2009 Keynote, you might be asking yourself, "What's the deal with the last startling images of the presentation?".

After a rousing speech taking audience members through the entire Metal Gear franchise the last image we were left with was a bold still which reads "Mission: The Next MGS". Furthermore, planted in the top right corner of the still is a clear impression of the cyber ninja Raiden

    I thought Kojima said he wasn't working on MG anymore. Hopefully it remains a playstation brand game.

      He said the same after MGS 2 and 3.

    Hell yeah I want to slash up some Frog units with Raiden! So long as the controls don't emulate MGS2 when Raiden gets his sword, that was just lame, seriously the right analog stick? Fricken lame. So yeah lets hope we get some Ninja Gaiden-esque gameplay going on!

    I guess we can say goodbye to the stealth part of MGS.

      Because Ninja's are never stealthy are they?

        They are, but robot ninjas with white goo for blood aren't.

          Even those which are former stealth agents from the most powerful and mysterious secret organization in the world?

          I'm sure stealth will still be implemented. I doubt Raiden infiltrated the Patriots "base/lair" to rescue Sunny by just busting in. He probably would've been slaughtered. Or the story could be something completely different.

          I hope it really shows what he went through, in detail, between MGS2 and MGS4. I think people would accept his attitude/mood in MGS4 a bit more if they actually saw how he got like that, instead of just hearing or reading about it all.

          If it's not a stealth game, then I'm sure it will be more of a spin-off than a major MGS title.

          I mean, taking stealth out of MGS is like taking Survival-Horror from Resident Evil and turning it into an action game. It'll NEVER happen.....

    I remember seeing Raiden a couple of times in magazines. Should be good if they actually pull it off.

    And fans, the world over, orgasm with glee. If they actually make this revolve around stealth, creeping around and picking people off in a Batman style, it will be fricking awesome. The main problem I foresee is them making him into a Kratos style overpowered freakazoid and not having the stealth play any part in it, which is likely since he was taking down Gekko alongside Rex and stopping boats as if he were *bleep*ing Neo in MGS4. Still, fighting Vamp on top of Rex does sound too epic to not be excited about. Let's just hope they don't give you the ability to turn invisible (without doing something to earn it, like stealth camo, anyway) and kill half the damn appeal.

    This is, of course, if it is a game revolving around Raiden. It's still possible they just used him for the picture.

    I read this as revolving around Cyborg Ninja Gaiden. :\

    Hm, I'd love to see them pull an MGS2 on us...

    Make all the trailers and everything out to have us play Cyborg Ninja Raiden, then 30 minutes into the game we start playing as regular Raiden. Or, and this next idea would make more sense story-wise, they could have us play as regular Raiden until the last hour or so of gameplay.

    I doubt they'll do anything like that, though, but I think I'd honestly enjoy it.
