Just looking around on David Gibson's Twitter and I found something that could be interesting.

Konami - still saying smaller Metal Gear coming this year (to be announced soon) while TPP title wont be until FY end Mar 2015

[Nirolak]

I'll say XBLA/PSN so it can use the same assets and technology they've been using, especially given the short announcement window.

 

[Canis lupus]

 

[Various Artists]

Theve been cagey about what Ground zeros is. Could that be the prologue like dead rising case 0?

 

[Ein Bear]

So Ground Zeroes might wind up being released beforehand as a prologue?

 

[Skeff]

maybe a vita peace walker style title?

definitely interested.

 

[jett]

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes HD incoming

 

[WrenchNinja]

No no no the wait is going to kill me

 

[Callo Merlose]

I highly doubt it, but I'd rather be playing MGO3 while we wait for V to come to.

 

[Blitzhex]

MGS Ac!d vita/3ds?

 

[Yoshichan]

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes HD incoming

Now with watchable cutscenes!

 

[morikaze]

Wii U MGS? Everything else on that release list turned out to be true, no?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Who is David Gibson and how is he related to Konami?

 

[RK9039]

Yeah Ground Zeroes is supposed to come out first, as expected.

 

[Nirolak]

Who is David Gibson and how is he related to Konami?

He's a financial analyst and he's listening to their fiscal call.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Whatever it is day 1.

 

[Ein Bear]

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes HD incoming

I honestly really want this. Was disappointed it wasn't included in the HD Collection.

 

[TheBioLover]

As said many times, it's probably Ground Zeroes. MGSV: TPP will be the full open world deal.

 

[Akainu]

MGS Ac!d vita/3ds?

mmmh *rubs chest*

 

[Skeff]

the whole to be announced thing, makes me think it's not ground zero

 

[sajj316]

GZ for Vita/3DS please .. thanks very much

 

[Courage]

So Ground Zeroes might wind up being released beforehand as a prologue?

I'd hope so. Or maybe include it as a bonus in a Twin Snakes HD release.

 

[kubus]

Imagining all the tears when it turns out to be another MGS collection.

Or a mobile game.

 

[Jawmuncher]

MGS Ac!d vita/3ds?

Would absolutely love this.

 

[mugurumakensei]

MGS VN for iOS

 

[SmokyDave]

Should be a Vita game.

Won't be a Vita game.

Sigh.

 

[Yawnier]

MGS V not launching until then seems about right, I don't think anybody was expecting it this year or early next year so.....

 

[NateDrake]

So Ground Zeroes might wind up being released beforehand as a prologue?

Didn't they clarify around E3 that GZ and TPP are one in the same?

 

[Bomber Bob]

MGS Card Game 3 for iOS

 

[immortal-joe]

aaaaaand 2015 it is

--__--

 

[faridmon]

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes HD incoming

Yes please. The more people experience the best version, the better.

 

[ash_ag]

Should release an updated version of Portable Ops on mobile, since it wasn't on Legacy Collection. Reimagine the original plot and missions to fit mobile platforms, then release new ones as DLC every now and then.

Spoiler

I'm not even joking.

Ghost Babel would also be cool.

 

[immortal-joe]

Should be a Vita game.

Won't be a Vita game.

Sigh.

Better off asking for a Wonderswan port of Metal Gear.

: _ ( There is no justice in this world.

 

[Jackpot]

Didn't they clarify around E3 that GZ and TPP are one in the same?

think they clarified the opposite. Same tech, same story, but it's a stand-alone prologue.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

The more people experience the best version, the better.

Then they should release the PS1 version.

 

[Ein Bear]

Didn't they clarify around E3 that GZ and TPP are one in the same?

I think they said that both games together were 'Metal Gear Solid 5', but were deliberately vague on how they'd be releasing them.

Yes please. The more people experience the best version, the better.

You and I are brothers now.

 

[BadWolf]

2015? Fuck, that is so far off.

Need my MGS fix, hope its Ground Zeroes that is released early. Hope its long.

 

[Gun Animal]

Ground Zeroes doesn't actually look that big, it looks like it's just a small military base with one objective. I don't see how it could be a standalone title other than a demo or a (less than $10) PSN game. Maybe there's more to it, but based on the plot we've seen so far that doesn't seem likely. What other games does Konami have coming out from now until April? Maybe we're looking at a Z.O.E. situation where they bundle some of the prologue mission as a demo to boost sales of one of their tertiary franchises.

Also, didn't we already have a Metal Gear game this year? I like how Metal Gear fans can't even wait six months between releases without getting all hot and bothered waiting for the next one to come out. It's gonna turn into a soulless yearly franchise at this rate and it's all our fault.

 

[GHG]

Surely this delay must mean they will scrap current gen and go next gen only.

 

[Yen]

Yes please. The more people experience the best version, the better.

No way Farid. Me and you... I thought we had something...

 

[RK9039]

Ground Zeroes is a smaller game but it's still supposed to be open world according to Kojima, and considering how it will end it seems likely there will be much more to it than what we've seen of it.

 

[moneyman232]

So MGSV next fall and ground zeroes late this year? Falls in line with what I expected

It has been years since a new Metal Gear Solid game (over 5 since a new console MGS), Rising doesn't count.

 

[The English Conquistador]

Then they should release the PS1 version.

Bingo.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Not surprised. They're probably spending a considerable amount of money developing the game and don't want to release it until the console user base is large enough for it to sell enough for them to be happy with.

In fact, I've never understood why some devs release games anytime earlier than 2 years into a new generation.

 

[RadarScope1]

The question we need to be asking is: what is the cheapest, shoddiest path Konami can take to releasing (or perhaps re-releasing) a MGS game within the next year? That's our answer.

 

[smenden18]

If GZ is releasing separately and this year, they should've just delayed the Legacy Collection and included it. Would've guaranteed a lot more sales of the collection.

Lightning Bolt Action /=/ Tactical Espionage Action

Rising was a great action game, but it's not a MGS game.

 

[casablanca]

ACID 3 please !!

 

[ZeroFate]

Christ... 2015?? And it's still slated for PS360? Meh.
