Ryan Payton, assistant producer on Metal Gear Solid 4, has confirmed there will be further instalments in the series - though they won't star Solid Snake.
"There are some misunderstandings that this is the final Metal Gear game," he told 1UP. "But it's really the final chapter of the Solid Snake story. That's all."
Payton continued, "I'm happy we could wrap up Snake's story in MGS4." So what might future MGS games be about? Well, there's "still a lot of room for filling in the gaps as far as Big Boss is concerned", according to him.
There are also plans afoot for the future of Metal Gear Online. "We're working on a handful of new maps, skills and rules that we're bug checking at the moment," Payton said. "A lot of the stuff is pretty far along. It's not going to be too long before people are going to start seeing screenshots of the new stages... By the time you're tired of the maps that come in the game, it'll probably be around the time we'll be bringing out the new ones."
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is out now. What do you think of it, Oli?

I hope this isn't true, since there's characters who at the end of MGS4 didn't quite meet the fate one might think, and still have unfinished business with the world at large. Not talking about Snake, but it's something to do with Otacon.

Remake using MSG 4 engine of MSX Metal Gear 1 + 2 (Outer Heaven and Zanzibarland) would be great, as both are referred to heavily in the MSG1-4 (except for 3 as happen before MG 1+2).
A lot of gamers havent played the two important events in MSG history, and it would be worth reinterpreting and to experiences hand on the interactions between Gray Fox, Snake and Big Boss. I can see it in my head and hope Konami can too!! |

@ Zander
Of course we want a repeat. It was absolutely glorious. As for sequels/prequels...meh. MGS4 felt like a conclusion to me, chronologically or otherwise, so unless they come up with something REALLY special, I can only see them ending up with barrel splinters caught firmly under their fingernails...

Oh ffs, can we not just leave that aspect of the series? Don't over-egg a good thing. Part of the Metal Gear Solid Series' brilliance has been that it has never been as fully explored as it could have been, but between MGS3 and MGS:PO I think that enough of Big Boss's story has been told, and enough of Solid Snake's story has been told in the other games.
There's plenty more leverage in the Metal Gear world to tell other stories, featuring different characters- so why not do that? Start something new, something fresh. They can always incorporate other chaarcters as cameos... |

it would be awesome if they carry on big boss's story after mgs3 + mgspo. i also want them to use the big boss they showed at the end of mgs4!

i loved MGS4 as much as the next person, but as said above, it really is time to leave the world of MGS, im really worried that theyre going to ruin a perfect quadrilogy by adding sequels of diminishing returns
