Forums - General Discussion - Metal Gear 6 - ideas for Konami after Kojima...

I have a great idea "imo" for you Konami... 

Make a new Metal Gear game but this time have you play as The Boss in WWII & ride out with her Cobra Unit killing Nazi's! Here is the wiki on The Boss/Cobra Unit aka sounds like a great game!
"In 1942, the Cobra Unit was officially formed and led by The Boss (then known as The Joy) during the Battle of Stalingrad. The Cobra Unit consisted of soldiers trained to win the war and with superhuman abilities - which at least two owed to parasite therapy. Its members were The Pain, The Fear, The End, The Fury, and The Sorrow. Because of each of the members of the unit being extremely loyal to The Boss, to the extent that they only obey her orders even when she is under the command of someone else, they are sometimes referred to as the Sons of The Boss.

During the D-Day landings at Normandy (June 6, 1944), the Cobras were sent on a mission to destroy several V2 rocket installations. During the war, the Cobra Unit was used for the nastiest kinds of wet works, the kind that could never be let out into the open. Their missions were so top secret that not only were they forbidden to be taken prisoner, they couldn't even leave their corpses behind. Because of this, they carried a microbomb with them on their missions, which would automatically detonate upon their deaths. During D-Day, The Boss gave birth on the battlefield to her & The Sorrow's child, who was taken away by agents of the Philosophers."

Thoughts?!..



Around the Network

My first thought is to let it rest or sell the IP into better hands. Assuming they won't do that, just start fresh now that Kojima and company are gone. New characters, new plotline, same tactical stealth core. Having said that, I have no expectations for the franchise any more.



For now I'd rather play a full HD/Remake of the MGS3: Snake Eater. If the franchise goes further I'd rather it revisits Big Boss's past rather than going further with... I imagine, Raiden?

Tho I'd rather Konami sell their IPs to a developer who wants/can deliver quality games of them. Suikoden, Castlevania, Silent Hill and Contra are in a limbo right now.



With Kojima? That's a great idea, and it's one I've been hearing about for years.

With Konami? Just kill the series already. Don't ever touch it again. We're already getting a Metal Gear Zombies, and while it does look fun, it's a horrible addition to the Metal Gear series. Anyway, it should give some idea about what Konami thinks of the series.



I like to think of a future where Konami goes bankrupt and Kojima comes in to sweep the IP back up from the ashes. Oh, if only.



bet: lost

Around the Network

Konami has too many great IPs to shelf em forever. They just need the right team of devs to breathe life back into them all. I doubt they will sell them off. The best hope is a bigger dev to absorb/buy Konami and all their IPs like maybe Capcom, Sqaure-Enix (who absorbed/bought Eidos/still waiting on a new Fear Effect & LoK-Blood Omen meh), Bandai-Namco, Naughty Dog or Sony Interactive Entertainment.



My preferred mgs6 would be either:
1: big boss setting up his zamzibarland outer heaven and the subsequent solid snake infiltrating and killing him. Prologue could be solid snake infiltrating outer heaven from mgs5 on the sea and killing what he thought was big boss but actually venom snake.

2. Mgs3 prequel where you play as the original boss. Her missions with the cobra unit and the sorrow would obvious be a key part of this.

I'd love mgs6 to take one of the above and then mgs7 taking the other.



Sell the IP to Sony and let them do the job.Probably the only thing they could do to keep the series quality.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Best idea for MGS6: hire Kojima. If you can't do that, give MGS6 to Kojima. If you don't want to do that, please bury MGS6 with all the other great dead IPs.
