Metal Gear Solid 5 Might Be Kojima's last Metal Gear

Us a fan of MGS my self i am not very surprised when i hear this new's, i was accustomed to hear this at very lunch of MGS around the time, but this time something changed.

In 2004, Hideo Kojima announce that he Plans to step away from Metal Gear Solid. The Plan Was to hand control to Shuyo Murata, co-writer of MGS3. a year later, Kojima annoncé His return as director of MGS4.

During an interview for Edge magazine in 2013, Who spoke Openly of his plan beyond games. "I'm 50 this year, and while I love game development, it's a time in my life Where I'd like to explore --other things. I love games, I do not Necessarily goal like the management of the business side of working for a company There are Many Things I'd like to do. for example, maybe take a year off and write a novel I've had Belgium Bosnia to work on various movies and make. movies, so Those are things I'd like to explore at Some Point. If I could, I think That Would Be a great change in my life. "

Do not forget, MGS5 is a perfect stepping-off point in the MGS canon Chronicling the 'lost' period of the 1970s (post-MGS3) to mid 1990s (pre-Metal Gear, the original MSX game). Its during this time period That Big Boss goes 'bad', setting up soldier's state, Outer Heaven, this Is Where Metal Gear Begins. What better way to end your involvement in a frank than Where it all began? MGS5 might ostensibly Be About Champion purpose Pendant that time period, Solid Snake is a child. What if the final scenes skip forward A Few years - and see you playing as rookie Solid Snake on his First Mission try trying to infiltrate the base you've Spent all building game?

A bigger plot rumor Is That You do not really play as Big Boss Pendant MGS5, purpose as a famous series' character Who Takes His identity You can argue the evidence, it's pretty clear goal MGS5 That is playing with themes of identity, as shown by The Whole Joakim Mogren saga and the bandage mask. In MGS2, we see how Raiden is share of the S3 Plan, and how anyone Can Be shaped to play a role: "Given the right circumstances, the right story, anybody Can Be shaped Into Solid Snake. " .

Kojima has Dealt with transition - and a final, father to her, talk - once already, in the final scenes of MGS4 Big Boss reappears to stop his Son, Old Snake, from ending His Life. Big Boss relives His Version of history, and Reconciled With His 'sound', Succumbs to the Foxdie virus. "This is good, is not it?" says Champion was chewing final cigar, In His final words. What is good? The cigar? The game - qui at the time we thought Might Be Kojima's last? The final time with His Son? It Hardly Matters, drank in the fading of an icon, Kojima Brings us away from the pompous complexity of the series', and Into a beautiful human moment - and in walking away from MGS5, We Could expect a very human reaction to His departure. At the point of reflection, Allowing us to Consider All That we-have lost.
Oh, and if you have-nots Played That stage, or thought it trite, Reconsider it in the context That Kojima HAVING lost his own father at the age of 13. What, Indeed, Would Any of us say, Given a second opportunity to say goodbye? Sometimes, talking is secondary to the privilege of Spending one more, imperfect, time together.
