Just recently i beat MGS4 for my second time and i noticed something i didn't notice the first playthrough.

Whenever Snake dies the traditional Continue/Exit screen shows up, but near the end of the game something different happens. The "Exit" word changes several times to what seems to be "Exist", and if we choose that option we hear Liquid Ocelot saying "It's not over yet, Snake." and the "Continue" word gets highlited, as if forcing you to not give up and continue the game. What i did notice in my second playthrough is that "Exist" is actually "Exi5t"!

That and that cutscenes where we see something similar to XMB with all the games in the series and (i think) 2 slots saying "Work in progress" are good indications that we might see a MGS5.

So have you guys noticed this and what do you think? Do you think Kojima is just playing around with us or is he seriously thinking about working in a new game in the series with Snake?

I think so too. It's not the first time Kojima says he's not making a MGS game again.

I hope he's kidding, does no one else want a NEW game?!
I do, you've had billions of Metal Gear games, I fancy something different, like maybe ...IDK something different and new!
Metal Gear Solid was the first propper stealth game and it kicked arse, I want to see what other new ideas he brings.

I do want to see new games from Kojima, but why would we want Metal Gear Solid to end? It's a great series and great series shouldn't just disappear.

The solid series is over. I would really love for this franchise to take a ten year break and come back when the consoles can truly do something new and amazing with the stealth genre. Plus it wouldn't be called SOLID, it would have a new title.

Maybe Metal Gear Akiba? Pant Pooping Stealth Action lol.

I never died in act 5, even on my play through afters =/. So I wouldn't know about that lol. But I'll die on my next run through just to see it. I never noticed that "XMB" thing either. I'll have to look into that.

Yes, i'm telling the truth. It's very subtle, but that 5 is there. Look closely next time.

I don't think the Solid Snake saga needs to be over. There are hints about him doing something with the time he has left. I think Solid Snake might make an appearance in Afrika, sneaking around for awesome pictures. He might also show up as a moderator in HOME public zones, tranq'ing ToS offenders and dragging them offline. Maybe even a Sims-like game where he baby/house sits for Raiden. Or a CQC deli game where you slice different cuts of meat with his knife. The possibilities are endless.

MGS4 was a perfect game, I'm fine with other Metal Gear games as long as isn't not a Metal Gear Solid game because they should stop making them while they're still amazing.

lol, that would be great, but... i don't know, i kind of see Snake finding a way to reverse his accelerated aging and becoming younger again. I know, it's wishful thinking, but you never know, it could happen.

Ryan Payton said the next MG game will still have SOLID with it meaning it will be called METAL GEAR SOLID, he went on to say SOLID doesn't relate to the character.

He said that in an interview with Kotaku a few months before the release.

MGS4 was a perfect ending for the Solid series. I'd like to see what else Kojima has up his sleeve. Even if it has nothing to do with Metal Gear.

agreed there are in fact two mgs games that don't feature solid snake as the main character. Both MGS3 and MGS: portable ops for psp have Big Boss/ Naked Snake as main character and both factor into the the story's continuum.

Solid in the title has nothing to do with Solid Snake, and Ryan Payton said the next one will be called Metal Gear Solid.

HAHA I'd be a ToS offender just to see that.... and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one:P
