Konami has just announced a new addition to the METAL GEAR SOLID V experience, METAL GEAR SURVIVE. METAL GEAR SURVIVE is a brand new co-op, stealth game that – according to the press release – takes a divergent look at familiar METAL GEAR themes and pursues a fresh spirit of exploration in unique gameplay mechanics.
Tomotada Tashiro, European President for Konami Digital Entertainment, said:
“We are delighted to announce another exciting addition to the METAL GEAR franchise. METAL GEAR SURVIVE will offer a fresh take on the series’ famed stealth elements but within a unique co-op setting that is designed for a truly engrossing multi-player experience.”
METAL GEAR SURVIVE picks up from the ending of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES, to an alternate timeline caused by unexplained wormholes forming in the sky. Players find themselves on distorted desert landscapes full of massive half-formed structures, living biological threats, and the remains of a once strong military force now litter the landscape.
To be honest, this is an unnecessary spin-off that shows how desperate KONAMI is. On paper, this game has every gaming cliche. Survival elements? Check. Co-op gameplay? Check. Zombies? Check. I mean… seriously now… zombies. Zombies. ZOMBIES.
Anyway, METAL GEAR SURVIVE is planned for a 2017 release and you can find its announcement trailer below.

This is just obscene.
its almost like konami is intentionally ruining MGS franchise to the ground, and they dont give a f@k about it.
Konami : MGS can continue without Kojima… *makes a lame zombie/survival-ish Mgs mode*
😀
Let’s not pretend this series didn’t die at number 4. Even with Kojima at the helm, MGSV was a blatantly unfinished piece of sh*t that sent the player through 40+ hours of sneaking through copy/pasted huts, recycling each of them 2 or 3 times with different mission objectives. And before you cry “Konami forced him to release it early!” the man was given 5 years and $80 million to make this thing and he was still to incompetent to finish it.
i am gonna cry it is konami’s fault because the game launched without even online that was made by a american studio. I dont understand your argument, metal gear 4 was announced in 2005 and came out in 2008, obviously they worked on it for at least one more year, so 4-5 years development too and the cost is estimated 50-70 million.
Like mg3, mgs 4 was supposed to be the last but fans demanded a new one.
Look metal gear solid was essentially metal gear 2 with 3d graphics and metal gear 2 was a f you to the player with a different character and a meh story. With mgs 3 he went a different way a more survival way and with mgs 4 he went a different way as well using a warzone setting. Both mgs 3 and 4 let alone 2 stories are nonsense. So i have no idea why you whining about mgs v when it is exactly what you would expect, another metal gear game that the story makes no sense and the gameplay has departed from the old games.
People have been complaining that the series died since MGS1. MGSV was amazing on so many levels.
It just ended up being more like Peace Walker than i expected it to be, in which there was a lot of zone recycling as well as the story as a whole was rather kept to itself and didn’t make much of an impact on the series as a whole (much like the main plot of Peace Walker).
To call it grabage though is just moronic, the game is one of the most amazing i have ever played gameplay wise. Plain and simple, it IS the best stealth game ever made gameplay wise.
like the idea ! but that’d be a lot of work ; also it requires someone that loves the franchise more than money.
is it sad i would prefer more pachinko machines instead?
#F’Konami
So. The milking begins. Everyone grab a teat.

Not you. You’re the guy already munching on the teat (-_-)

ayyyy LMAO.
*puts gun to head
A zombie Metal Gear? How fitting.
I thought it was impossible to facepalm harder at Pachinkonami, but here we are.
;(::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I think the game might turn out great. The new mechanics teased in the trailers seem awesome, and I dig char cuztomization.
Think of a zombie survival game with scavenging and resource management like MGSV, and add in customization and the gameplay will be endlessly addicting. I for one am looking forward to seeing this.
And before people cry abt Metal Gear story, I thought we all agreed that whatever konami makes without kojima are not canon and simply spin offs. So I really don’t see the issue here.
If you can build a base it has a chance.
make mission 51 damn it
How is it bad it is the best third person stealth action game ever.
I don’t think it’s bad … I actually enjoyed it so much ! the game had lots of success and amazing reviews. And no one can argue that it’s a good game. That said ; some MGS fans think that it’s not a GOOD MGS game which is a bit of a different story ; so I would respect different opinions about this fact. I also agree that it was unfinished story wise. My point was about Kojima tho. I don’t think it’s convenient nor justifiable to call him incomptent EVEN if you think that the game is bad …
my only complains about MGS5 was the missing chapter…hell i would even prefer konami to release it as DLC than this alternate universe BS
yup
Recycling MGS V asset and make zombie game… Pfff…next please….
looks good to be quite honest. i rather chapter 3 but this will do. perhaps this is what was planned for chapter 3, as far as story goes. remember the deleted episode? lol it was liquid at new york…. liquid was never in n.y, so a alternate timeline was confirmed and mgsv/ground zeroes was always a spin off and on main time line canon.
How original ………………… *sigh*
all i want as a metal gear longtime fan is a remake of the first ever 2 metal gear games that were released on the msx2 computer those games are too primitive today to be enjoyed
