Metal Gear Solid 4 is the final game for Hideo Kojima. But what will he do after it?
He may be working with the upcoming MGS movie, but what about upcoming games?

This is a question I have had in my mind for a while now.

Will it be another game series whit the same intense feeling that MGS gives you? Will it be something else?

What do you think?

Well, the MGS series hasn't exactly been exclusive for playstation. It has been released on PC and XBOX.

Actually Hideo said that this is the end of Old Snake and his story is ending not Metal Gear. He is directing the MGS movie last I read on his blog I believe(not 100% sure). A updated Policenauts would be cool

I think Kojima would like the pass along the MGS series to someone his can trust... I mean, he wanted to quit after MGS2 hence the theme in MGS2 and the monologue by Snake at the end. Then, Kojima got dragged back to do MGS3 and 4... He realised, the only way he can pass down his legacy is to kill of Snake and let his team start of fresh.

Kojima always want it to start a new series, that's why during the busy hours of producing MGS2, he managed to find the time to produce Zone of the Enders, a great series, BTW. Kojima will probably continue making the ZOE series and start a 'RAW' game series as this is the motto or why Kojima Productions exist in the first place.

Kojima has expressed a lot of interest in making games for the Wii. I have a feeling he'll toy around with some casual Wii games before moving on to his next big thing.

His next big thing will probably be another Zone Of The Enders game. I remember hearing an IGN podcast where someone (I believe Jeremy or Hilary) saying that Kojima told him that he wanted to finish MGS so he could do something that he's wanted to do for a very long time. I'm hoping it's a new ZoE game, or maybe a successor to Policenauts or Snatcher. Whatever it is, it'll be amazing.

the end of metal gear? thats just silly.

why would you end a great series? sure, you can change the characters and story, but I sincerely doubt that MGS4 will be the last epionage game that they will make.

Do you see (for example)the mario, zelda, or resident evil franchise ending anytime soon?

MGS is a heavily story driven game. I think they just wanna start of with a new character and story, thats all.

you really think they wont make a halo 4?

As far as I know, he's not retiring. He's just done with Metal Gear. He's going to be working on other games. As far as the fate of Metal Gear? Well that new guy we've been seeing doing interviews lately for MGS4, I think the torch could possibly be passed to him or a group of people with him involved. He apparently did quite a bit of the story and took a great part in MGS4's development. So if all ends up well, this could mean Metal Gear could still have a future after Kojima.

Well supposdly Mr. Hideo Kojima, in a recent article in FAMITSU (for those of you who dont know what FAMITSU is, is the best Gaming Console Review Magazine i all ASIA) said that he would continue making games for the PS3 that may or not involve the Metal Gear World but without Solid Snake and that he now wants to concentrate in the movie that supposldy while come out at late 2008/early 2009, and that his team will be making WII, XBOX360 and PS3 games that maybe or not multiplataform and he concluded that he will bring back a game that he has so long waited to do, he didnt said which one but i think maybe ZONE of the ENDERS because he really likes that series. And i dont have a link for this article because i bought the magazine a couple of days ago when i went to JaPAn for vacation.

It's not that end for him. Metal Gear will always be around. He even said he will always be a part of the series, even if not directly involved with the game.

I dont think they will make a halo 4 because that story is over, but they will probably make Master Chief the beginning, or something of that nature. It will be a halo game without halo in the title

I hope when he leaves they don't make another MGS game, it just wouldn't be the same. Even if they changed all the characters, it would always just be seen as the second MGS. I'm all for a new sneaking game with the same feel as MGS, but it would have to be completely different story. Otherwise the story would just drag on and eventually we would get tired of it. All good things must come to an end. The MGS series should go out on a high, and MGS4 certainly looks like a great way to end a great series. I'd hate to see it just keep going until everybody lost interest and then die a slow death.
