the way it was set up after MGS4....
Raiden's kid will be the next Snake, and Sunny will be the next Otacon. set 20 years after MGS4. new set of characters, new villains, new story arc. ohhh yeeaaaahhhhh!!
i think Kojima wanted to deviate away from Snake. he wanted to portray Snake as just another soldier, and that's why he introduced Raiden in MGS2 and tricked us into thinking it was Snake all along.
too bad so many blacklash from fans happened. Kojima didn't think there'd be so much affection for Snake's character. remember, MGS1 and previous games are all Snake, but pre-MGS1 games were not as story-driven as the MGS1-4 games. so yeah, he had Raiden for MGS2, and Big Boss for MGS3, Portable Ops, PeaceWalker. he wanted to move away from Snake's character but fans protested.
now we get a new MGS arc. maybe it won't even be Metal Gear Solidmaybe he'll replace it with something else. a codename for little Johnny.

i can see him now being part-Snake part-Raiden. new game mechanics confirmed?
