It's not that I'm craving for this game, but at least it looks better than Portable Ops lol.
Kojima supposedly has a contract with Konami, for a certain number of Metal Gear games. He can't really leave the saga before he completes the contract, which is sad. If Konami actually had someone in charge of long-term-thinking, that person would discover that if they let him create more and new IPs, they would profit more. Right now, there is already a Kojima cult. People want Kojima games, not necessarily Metal Gear. I think that's what the Konami executives are missing.
