I think it's funny that they are getting rid of Solid Snake because having him live for many more missions would be unrealistic. What is realistic about someone going on mostly one man missions through all kinds of leaps and bounds that involve numerous deaths and brushes with death? (like being shot in the head and only losing 1/8 of your life while remaining fully functional) I've been playing metal gear since it came out on NES. Solid Snake is Metal Gear. Unless another character is introduced, the only character I could see them putting in a future game would be Raiden. Raiden is like a 15 year old emo kid. Also, if they go forward with Big Boss' story they can't really go that far forward. Don't get me wrong, Snake Eater was awesome. But now they're in a position where they can't go past the time of the MGS4 game and the rest of the time that he was young would be around the Cold War era, plus or minus 20 years. MGS4 wasn't bad, although it was missing a big fight, just like there is at the end of every Metal Gear game. In its place was fighting a metal gear with another metal gear in an extremely easy battle where the odds should be stacked up greatly in favor of Ray over Rex when the reverse was definitely true. I don't know where Konami is going with this, but they better think of something good if they don't want to disappoint their hardcore nerdy Metal Gear fanbase.

I dont think Solid Snakes Story Has to end. It should continue. MGS4 Has snake as an old man but what if somthing in his DNA made him younger? For example he is a direct clone of big boss right then he has the same DNA hence the possibilaty of the so called Gene Thereapy working to make him younger like the previous games. I hope to see a future MGS game with the younger Solid Snake.

I was kind of hoping for an Outer Heaven/Zanzibar combo remake so I wouldn’t have to feel bad about not having played Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.

Side note: Just finished MGS4 tonight. I think I liked 3 better. Great game, though.

I saw this one coming from a mile away.

Portable Ops, which I still haven’t picked up again, is definitely a prequel, featuring among other things when Big Boss meets Campbell for the first time when he frees him from a prison he’s infiltrating. There are so many stories they could mine.

here comes the milking i hate when games do this because even if the next one is good they will just deteriorate in quality
