While snake is the man it seems a shame to waste such a rich cast of characters by not exploring some of their own archs. Much better idea than just making another solid snake outting as it would be destined for criticism.

I think a game featuring Raidens story between MGS 2 & 4 would be awesome! They could go into detail on what happened through that 5 year gap.

Hark

does that mean we can expect halo 4 as well? lol

There is going to a Halo 4 'mm'
With MGS IV being the final story of Snake, I don't agree as without the legendary hero at the helm of the series driving it, there is no series forward....look at the backlash they got when they put Raiden in control on the second part of MGS II?, I rest my case, without Snake (David Hayter) there is no future for the series.
I want to see them find a reverse for the aging of Snake, hell even Johnny and Meryl get into a massive fight and get divorce and her going back to Snake (LOL am I reaching here? :P)

i will miss solid snake! best game made ever and im unhappy that i cant get it coz i got an xbox just a while ago

Ok i found out the mgs 5 will end up being made, also they have already did an couple of concept arts for mgs 5,
but i found bad new's aswell they are thinking about not using snake in number 5 but maybe an clip of him dieing in the end.
The main charater may end up being raiden but they still haven't decided.
can't wait to see the new concept art!!!!
i heard i little talk else were about snake being an main enemy in mgs 5 but he's in an exo- skeletan suit,holding the rail gun but it may not be true. or possible an new enemy.
and somthing about sunny being an main charater aswell or somthing.
well there you go.
thank's for reading.
