None of the non Kojima MGS get remembered. Notice how Konami's never re-released Ac!d/Ac!d 2 on PSN, Ghost Babel on eShop, or The Twin Snakes and Portable Ops in the HD Collection?

This right there.

I love Pokken!
2015? and it still a cross-gen title? Weird, but at least Dark Souls II is coming in March so that will keep me occupied until MGS 5
Well of course Twin Snakes wont be on anything other than a Ninty hardware and isn't Ac!d in the EU PSN? (Or was it portable ops?)

Never going to come out on current gen consoles for sure...contrary to what Kojima has been saying
Portable Ops is on PSN in Europe and North America.It's only playable on Vita in Europe. Ac!d isn't available on any PSN store.

Maybe its the secret 3rd party Vita game Sony perpetually hints at lol
So we all agree this is what they should do? good then, it's settled. Someone call Hideo and let him know.
Acid really needs to come out on the PSN store, I'd love to play it again on my Vita because my PSP is well dead at this point.

I really can't see it releasing any later than fall 2014.
Anyway I'm definitely down for a new Acid game in the meantime.

2015 is going to be a god-like year.
I wonder what "smaller" really means? I don't think it will be a port, but possibly a handheld title. I am thinking more than likely it will be an XBLA/PSN title. Would love to be proven wrong.
MGSV? Why wouldn't it? It isn't like suddenly the install base of the 360/PS3 is going to shrink so dramatically that there is no reason to release it on those consoles.
Or for it to be MGO. Release on Xbox would mean significantly less hacking.

Argh 2015, I hoped it'd be next year...
I don't even want to think when KH3 is coming... FFXV too for that matter, but I would think it should be sooner on the way...
As others have said, a smaller MGS on the way. A Vita MGS would be very much appreciated by me!
Did the MGS HD Collection sell well? Was actually the first time I played MGS 2/3 and I had a blast with it, became a MGS fan from that moment on.
Perhaps it could have helped them justify making a vita MGS, if this smaller MGS is actually a vita game that is...

So apparently TPP is 300 times bigger than GZ: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=685333
Could the smaller MGS game be GZ or do they have crazy time going on with the number of versions this game has?

GZ is the prologue, so the map being 300x bigger in TPP isn't a huge revelation. It would be cool if GZ was the digital MGS title from the Konami fiscal report.
Hmm, super late reply but there's so much wrong to this comment.
1. The game is releasing on current-gen systems as well as next-gen.
2. If no devs released any games in the first 2 years then....then what happens? Where would the line be drawn, where does it start? Release a console with no games?
3. Gears of War, Resistance, Lost Planet earned loyal fanbases that stuck by them even after shitty sequels.
4. Games stand out in the beginning of the generation.
EDIT:
On topic, GZ as a $15 downloadable game would be an awesome, neat idea as a lead-in to the real thing. Also can be viewed as a test case for episodic distribution that publishers have be talking about over the past few years.

So, goes anyone else think that Ground Zeroes will be some sort of test drive to see how the public reacts to the new mechanics directly?

Certainly possible... I think GZ is the smaller game they're talking about, coming before March 2014, with TPP coming holiday 2014 or early 2015...
Hell I don't know. #confused

Christ if it's two years out why even talk about it right now?
Ghost Babel is by Kojima. The reason it's not rereleased is probably because it's generally not considered canon. Well, not without counting a few crazy ass theories.
Twin Snakes is produced (though not directed) by Kojima, but Nintendo owns some rights because Silicon Knights (along with Miyamoto) developed it -- and Kojima generally seems to consider MGS1 a bigger achievement symbolically, which is why he seems to be hesitant about a new remake even now. Portable Ops is also only produced by Kojima, but in this case he seems to deliberately not consider it -- maybe because he was indeed not completely involved, and it wasn't as grand as Peace Walker proved it could be.
Now, AC!D is just a different case. I don't think he personally has issue with it (as he probably does have with the aforementioned games), but he simply likely doesn't care.

There they go again - anytime Kojima or his team tries to communicate with the press it comes out so odd. - 'Oh we've been working on MGS5 for a long time... it won't be out anytime soon, though... and did we mention it will be 2 separate games? ... oh and the second game will be THREE HUNDRED TIMES bigger than the first one... and oh yeah, we almost forgot but we also have a completely different Metal Gear game coming out early next year - before the other two. What?'
Nope, MGSV Phantom Pain is released in the next fiscal year which goes from April 2014 until March 2015.
Realistically it's being targeted as a holiday 2014 game with the possibility to delay until Q1 2015 if they need more time.
Now the questions is all about Ground Zeroes and the other smaller MGS title releasing soon.

Must be MGS4 on Xbone. Finally, after years of waiting, MGS4 will be making its way to a Microsoft console. Thank you blu-ray.

Terrible fucking PR/Marketing. Someone has got to explain this shit.
It is both put together.

"smaller MGS" coming this year or this fiscal year ? Because if it truly is this year, then I can't imagine it being Ground Zeroes, right ? It has to be something else.
why not? Ground Zeroes is just the one mission Kojima has demoed five times already. And apparently it's already been rated for release in Germany.

I can wait. I may forget about it by then though.

Figured as much, game just felt like it was long ways off.
Nojiri, who went on to direct both Ac!d games directed and designed Ghost Babel. Kojima's credited for directing too, but one has to question how involved he was.

He probably re-watched the Phantom Pain trailers and figured that retconning the scenes to a narrative even slightly more coherent than Inland Empire will take that much longer.
