:lol:
Fat chance.
Goemon? :( I wish
Seriously though, this is probably good news in the end. I freakin' love metal gear -- but it needs to be over and done. I'm not really attached to Metal Gear anymore -- I don't really care about a continuation of the established characters or whatever (don't get me wrong, I love Snake, Otacon, Big Boss, etc, but they already had their story) -- at this point I'm just in it for the awesome stealth gameplay (which after playing ground zeroes may be the best I've ever played) and interesting scenarios/new characters. All these things can be accomplished without Konami and without the Metal Gear name.
Metal Gear without Kojima is non-canon as far as I'm concerned, and can finally allow me to give this series a rest.
To the future... away from Konami... who I used to love. God damn... Konami - Sega - Capcom... what the fuck happened?
