Hideo Kojima habló en el TGS del siguiente juego de la saga:
Hablando sobre conexiones a MGS4, Kojima comentó sobre MGS PO de PSP:
"Si cambias la historia de Portable Ops, tienes que cambiar la de MGS4. Si cambias la de MGS4, tienes que cambiar también la de MGS PO. Hasta que no se complete la historia de MGS PO, la historia de MGS4 no puede ser finalizada".
Y en Diciembre, Kojima Productions empezará un portal web llamado METAL GEAR MY PAGE. Kojima habla sobre él:
Los fans podrán crear una base de datos Metal Gear y escribir sus propias historias. Estaría bien pensar que de aquí a diez años, pudieramos crear Metal Gear Solid 5 con el soporte de los fans
FUENTE: Metal Gear for All
Books, websites, and... Metal Gear Solid 5?

September 25, 2006 - The Tokyo Game Show was so full of Metal Gear Solid revelations that even we ended up neglecting to cover a few hot topics. Here are some of the big stories that we missed, as reported by Japanese sites with such names as Famitsu.com and Impress Watch.
The upcoming Metal Gear games will all be connected in terms of storyline, producer Hideo Kojima said at a stage event held during the show. Speaking about the new Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty digital comic, which was first announced this past week, Kojima said "Metal Gear Solid 2's story is directly connected with 4, which is now in production. Before 4, we'd like you to definitely play it." The new digital comic is set for Japanese release in 2007.
Regarding other MGS4 connections, Kojima said about the PSP Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, " If you change the Ops story, you have to change 4. If you change 4, it also becomes necessary to change Ops. Until Ops is finished, 4's story can't be finalized."
While the MGS4 storyline isn't ready to be finalized, gameplay is apparently a different matter. "The gameplay systems are in a pretty much fixed state, and now all that remains is to add more content," said Kojima.
Kojima also shared details on a few Metal Gear related products and services. First up, regarding Portable Ops, Konami and Sony are teaming up to bundle the game with a standard black PSP unit. The specially prepared box will also include pins and a case.
Moving outside the game realm, Kojima announced that in December, Kojima Productions will start up the Metal Gear My Page portal site. "Here, fans will be able to create a Metal Gear database and write original stories," explained Kojima. "I think that around ten years from now it would be great if we could make Metal Gear Solid 5 with the support of fans."
Finally, for those who can't get enough of the Hideo Kojima blog, now you can preserve it forever in book form! The Hideoblog site will be released as a book in Japan through publisher Gentosha. Details on the release have yet to be released.
Supongo que hará esto para que, si se arruina la saga sea culpa de los fans...y en realidad sea algo más parecido a un "relleno" y no parte de la saga como tal.
