A month after Metal Gear Solid 5 was unofficially announced, Konami has registered "Metal Gear Solid Existence" with the Japanese trademark database.
Snake may be finished, but Metal Gear will see another day
It's unclear when the name was registered, but it exists just the same, reports gaming blog Siliconera. Konami was not immediately available for comment when contacted by GamePro on Friday.
In August, outgoing Konami producer Ryan Payton let slip that Konami is working on Metal Gear Solid 5. "It'll be hard not being involved in MGS5," he said upon leaving the developer for greener pastures. "But I've got the utmost confidence that Hideo Kojima, Ken Imaizumi, and our amazing team will put together another blockbuster game. I'll be cheering from the sidelines."
Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima is notorious for saying he's done with the series after every release, but it appears he's still on for the next game, tentatively entitled Existence.

Much like any given Mario game, Final Fantasy or Halo, Konami shouldn't stop releasing Metal Gear Solid games until they stop being great games.

Agreed! I hope this time there is more action and less cut scenes.

I'm a huge Metal Gear fan and I would love to see more "Snake Eater" titles featuring Big Boss, or maybe a remake of the orginal Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. It'd be awesome if the "Les Enfants Terribles" project heavily incorporated in the next Metal Gear.

......after 90 minutes, I had enough. If there is more than one hour of cut-scenes combined I'll stick to a game that actually allows me to play.
Sony is gonna have to fork up a hefty chunk of change for the next one not to go multi platform now that kojima is being a little girl (boo hoo) about the game not living up to expected sales.
I hate that guy more than his game, he's almost as annoying as the turd that does Ninja Gaiden He has that "slap me" face that screams to get hit.

This next MGS will have 3 hour cut scenes. LOL
But seriously, all MGS games had long cut scenes. As the technology grew, the length became larger. I think 90min cut scenes are a joke IMO for a game. To each his/her own, however when the man himself says he made them too long, LOL
It's quite obvious where this man wants to go. He has stated time and again he wants to make motion picture films. His MGS series shows this.
Does this translate to gaming? It does if you like this sort of thing, playing a game minimal and watching the game even more. But then again this is why this game is a niche game as many more people would rather actually play a game then watch it. WHICH AGAIN SURPRISES ME THAT THE GAME BOMBED IN JAPAN WHERE TRADITIONALLY THEY LLOVE GAMES WITH HUGE CUT SCENES AND MORE WATCHING THEN PLAYING

Its gonna be the "Substance" or "Subsistence" to MGS4. No doubt, and I hope they make a MGSPO remake for the PS3. To help fill in the gaps for neone day doesn't want to buy a PSP just to see that one story.
