The future of the series

[NateDog]

Time has gone on and they've obviously abandoned the Fox Engine(?) so this idea isn't as cost effective as when I first proposed it after MGSV but I do still think a Philanthropy game set between MGS1 and MGS2 as well as between MGS2 and MGS4 would have worked so well with the framework set up by V. Mission based gameplay involving Snake and Otacon tracking down and destroying Metal Gears all over the world. Doesn't need too intricate of a story, plot already set up and canon, lots of free reign to do what any writer wants to do with it within that smaller scope. Multiple Ground Zero sized areas that feel totally different from one another. Heck if KONAMI wanted a games as service type thing they could even have this work like Hitman and gradually add a new Metal Gear to deal with in a different location every couple of months for years. It's non invasive to the established canon of the saga, while still using a fan favourite character during a period we know happened but haven't seen, and gives lots of opportunity for marketable mech designs and to keep players on it for years without having to reinvent the wheel too much. You could have used so much of what TPP already developed and just expand on that. Anyway enough fanfiction about a fake game!

This sounds cool. Would be some work but could even juxtapose it with Raiden's mission to rescue Sunny and what happened to him when he was caught and however he got away from The Patriots. I was just watching that initial trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising again the other day, such a shame it fell through even though Revengeance was great.
