Everyone has completely forgotten that Konami made decent games without Kojima. Ghost Babel, Portable Ops, and Rising were no more damaging to the continuity than MGS4 and MGSV. If we get another game like Ghost Babel starring Solid Snake, where it's clear the events take place in an alternate timeline, I'll be okay with that.

What's with people hating on Sutherland? He wasn't exactly given the world's greatest script to read from. There were times when Hayter sounded bad, and not just in Peace Walker. I clearly remember his delivery in MGS2 not being on par with MGS1. There's a scene where Liquid Ocelot steals Ray, and Solid runs after it and just sort of mumbles "Liquid" under his breath. Not like in MGS4 where he yelled Liquid's name from atop Outer Haven.

I liked Sutherland's voice work for both Big Boss and Venom Snake, and this is as someone who has heard Hayter's voice for Snake ever since MGS1 came out. More than anything I thought he was criminally underused in TPP, but every time he got good lines ("I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea"), he actually sounded really good.

Also agreed, if Konami wishes it, they can potentially make a new MGS. At least in terms of story, Portable Ops and Rising proves that even the non-Kojima games can have a pretty decent plot. Considering how messy MGS4 and MGSV were in terms of story, I'd honestly welcome having a new game that's not directed by Kojima.
