Consequently we're either looking at a future remake of MG1 using the Fox engine in the not too distant. Or the possibility that MGS5 will have a wonderfully convoluted plot as the previous games. I lean towards the latter there.

Or I suppose there's the third possiblity which is that the series is left with a gaping plot hole which is never resolved, and Kojima gets his wish to begin working on other games.

I believe that Big Boss never really "comes back" from what he does in TPP. But either manipulates (befriends somehow) or blackmails Zero into a position where he is forced to change the narrative in the media and public perception that Big Boss is a terrorist.

Something happens anyway to make Zero to need BB again. BB spends his 9 year coma in a patriot run hospital after all. Peace Walker and MGSV already did that, especially considering the second ending, the ending narrative (combined with Huey's "smart" decision to get the media involved) for Ground Zeroes, heck, what Ishmael and Ocelot stated to Big Boss about the latter being a man so wanted by the entire world (and not in a good way, I should make clear) there isn't even an alive option for him. Look, the games made clear that literally no one even suspected Big Boss was the founder of Outer Heaven, not to mention wasn't even believed to do anything bad, yet considering those games, they basically tore that bit up.

And I'm doubtful that Zero's the type to change his narrative anyways, even under pressure. He certainly didn't with Solid Snake, even after the AIs were shut down, and it certainly wasn't the case with Dead Cell, either.
