Some heresay/rumors have surfaced reporting that Survive was actually Kojima's idea for a DLC that was turned into a full game after he left the company.

Kojima himself and Kojima Productions have denied these claims (updated in the first article), but it is pretty interesting that some of the Survive concept art has the dates scrubbed (bottom left of image).

Révélations sur les plans de Kojima pour le DLC de Metal Gear Solid 5, P.T., et la colère de Konami [MAJ]

Dans les mois qui ont précédé et suivi sa sortie, Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain a beaucoup fait parler de lui pour des raisons qui n'avaient pas toujours de lien direct avec son contenu. C'est en effet à cette période que s'est joué publiquement le divorce entre Hideo Kojima, le célèbre...

Survive was bloody atrocious. I loved TPP, got the platinum trophy, and wanted more so I was stoked for Survive even though it took the series in a different direction, it would run on the same sublime FOX engine, which has the best 3rd person controls bar none imo. How could they possibly fuck it up? Not sure but they managed just that spectacularly.

Such a tragedy we will probably never get a decent Metal Gear game again. Konami are muppets.

I would some remasters, I think that's all we can realistically hope for. Always been fascinated by Peace Walker but never got the chance to play it!
