Straight from the horse's mouth. I hope this spinoff talk begins to vanish now

"Of particular note is that Kojima refers to both games as "Metal Gear Solid 5." He describes Rising as a "next generation MGS5." He describes Peace Walker as "The MGS5 Inside me." "

The article also mentions his role in the production of both games:

"The Metal Gear series father is serving as director, producer and game designer on the PSP title. 

As for Metal Gear Solid Rising (confirmed in Famitsu to be for Xbox 360 and PS3), Kojima is serving as producer along side Kenichiro Imaizumi. He told the magazine, "I'm not the director. I'm not doing game design either. Although, I do issue complaints (laughs). But, not too much."

That is a goddamn lie. The Xbots will never get a real MGS.

but what about the actual MGS5

snakes final journey?

So really, MGS:Peace Walker is HIS game.
And Rising isnt really a true MGS game.

MGS-R will be epic!!!!!

Finally the online can be done right with xbox live.

NO CUT SCENES PLEASE!!!

He's only saying this to get ppl to buy it. If it was really MG5 it would have the number "5" in the title. they are both side quest.

@PS3moneyburninggrill

Cutscenes is to MGS like Shooting is to HALO

got that

Sounds about right.

You don't deserve his game

Go play Halo

Rising is a spin off. MGS is about Stealth and shooting, not Ninja gameplay (although it'l be awesome anyway)
