I mean do we really need another reboot of Metal Gear Solid 1? Kojima should remake Metal Gear 1 and 2. Go full circle and be done with it. I don't want these games to end, but unless they bring in a completely new protagonist (Considering Big Boss is dead and Solid Snake is probaby dead too. Not to mention Raiden is with the Rising franchise now) This amazing ride is gonna have to end sooner or later. And I don't want Akiba (Liquid Poop) to be the no protagonist. Yeah, probably end it. It would be for the best, anyways. And remakes would be a good way to end the series. Considering the huge amount of retconning the MSX2 games suffered, remakes are the only logical chance for them to remain canon at this point. Other than that, possibly the only thing that might even be manageable is a game taking place between the two MSX2 games, a Philanthropy-based game detailing their exploits, a Gray Fox game (since Kojima did express interest in such a game), a Liquid game, or, heck, even a The Boss game, and those are limited enough as it is (taking two games at best. Gray Fox, other than a possible Tanker Chapter-type opening for a remake for Metal Gear, can only really be playable in the time between MG2 and MGS. The Boss most likely would either focus either on her exploits during World War II, or otherwise focus on the events between her leaving Snake and Operation Snake Eater. As far as Liquid, not counting the theories about Eli being Liquid since they aren't officially confirmed, the only game I can actually imagine him being in is the events of the Gulf War. And Philanthropy will be limited to one game at best due to it covering the events between 2005-2007, as they are under the radar after 2007 but before 2009.). The series has to end soon, anyways, and I'm quite frankly a bit tired of some of the negative stuff they are stating anyways.

NO! Not The Boss! You make a game about her in any way shape or form and you take away her awesomeness. We know her story, but if you show where she came from. Meaning HER mentor. It's just gonna be a "Lather, rince ,and reapeat" She needs to stay a mystery or anything involving her loses its power.
