MGS without Kojima.

The worst part of MGSV, the story, was Kojima’s fault. Konami could have given him an extra 6 months of development and it would still have Skullface, still have the vocal cord parasite, still have Metal Gear Sahenlanthropus being more advanced than REX and only fitting a child in the cockpit, still deliver most of its scenes through audio tapes, still have Snake barely say any lines, etc

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Noriaki Okamura was involved with all Kojima work dating back to Policenauts.
But he was also producer on Survive....soo.
I'll be happy with remakes as long as they don't fuck it up.

MGSV was an absolute dud story and objective wise and MGS4 was totally ridiculous although I did enjoy it on release, Death Stranding is the most over rated walking mail delivery simulator I ever fell asleep too, The guy sniffs his own farts through a straw.... So overrated it's puzzling.

I'm down for MGS without him if the studio and leads are actually competent.
 
Kojima really, really isn't the only person in the world able to write a decent spy thriller story.

In fact, dude hasn't hit a homerun since MGS3 and that was fucking 18 years ago.
MGS is his series. Why not make your own story?
Oh wait I know: MONEY.

Do we always ahve to wait until someone is dead before someone else takes over? I think Kojima lost it a long time ago and actually hasn't writting anything astounding since MGS3. He's just way to much up his own ass. No one else can write shit like him and go through with it - and I think that MGS would be much better off with all the nonsense he has written in after MGS3. So I'd say lets give someone else a go.

I'm going to be real, Kojima is both the best and worst of MGS. I can't honestly say I'd be that excited for a new MGS without him, for all his faults, he still made a game that plays better than 99% of any other open-world type games I've played.

While I couldn't care less about Kojima and his bizarre takes on everything (considering the first MGS is my favorite and that's before he went ape shit), I just can't imagine Konami being able to output.. Anything these days.

MGS is Konami’s series. Always has been, always will be. Like movies someone else can come in, direct, and make an another great product.

Could also suck for a while as they get the right person.

Someone can definitely assume the helm of a franchise while the creator is still alive. Kojima himself wanted that since MGS3 was in development...

Thing is, who will it be? How many Metal Gear titles need to flop without Kojima for the detractors to admit he was part of what made the original series what it was? Or will it always be the current developer's fault?

Maybe they’re not planning a new entry, maybe it’s just a BluePoint styled remaster, made by an up and coming BluePoint successor, who could it be though?

Uh oh, a mysterious Blue developer has just reentered the chat.

i mean what would be a long awaited title? has anyone awaited anything? Konami shat the bed and didn't clean the sheets, i don't think anyone is awaiting anything.

however

an MGS 1-4 collection is a must have, and done properly, not some half arse emulated port shit like Ninty does
