The MGS series seriusly need new blood is getting pretty boring, there is no point stretching out a story finished since 2008. Also, while Otsuka asked for the MSX remakes Kojima made pretty clear that he isnt a fan of remakes so i dont see him redoing the MSX games. I don't have any sympathy for Kojima's not being a fan of remakes, not because I like any remakes (actually, like Kojima, I'm generally not a fan of them myself), but because he brought this situation onto himself by his lack of foresight regarding the series and constant continuity-wrecking actions. Were I to make a story, I would make absolute certain to NOT contradict the story constantly especially if it is supposed to be an overarching extensive storyline like Metal Gear. In other words, he has no one to blame but himself for the need for remakes regarding the MSX games, especially when the MSX games are (motions with fingers a very tiny sliver of air between them) this close to becoming non-canon. Honestly, disliking remakes or not, he should make them. He made the bed, now he must lie in it. The only reason he drove himself into a wall with so many plotholes is because he literally wrote every game(minus PW and MGS1) with the intent it was the LAST MGS game. He closed everything up with an air tight seal. Then went "Oh well better make another game" then broke the seal so he could continue. Yeah, and even MGS1 cut it extremely close since even Kojima indicated that it was his final game, so really, only Peace Walker was undoubtedly intended to have a sequel. And that's precisely why I have no sympathy for Kojima putting himself into a corner with the MSX2 games being so retconned that remakes are literally the only shot at them remaining canon.
