By the way, if you haven't completed MGS2 yet then I advise you not to read the third paragraph in too much detail. It's just I give away the end of MGS2 where Otacons says the Patriots are...ah.

Metal Gear is coming back, and it's set to become bigger than Mario!

I logged on a few minutes ago and came across the SR News Story about MGS going multi-format. At first I was disappointed, but my feelings were soon turned to joy when I saw a piece of my Gran's chocolate biscuit cake lying on the kitchen table, ready for me to devour.

Then I actually read the article. Apparently, Metal Gear Substance is set to be released for X-Box, PC AND PS2. This is good as I don't plan on getting an X-Box, and judging by my performance in my French Year 10 MOCK earlier today I don't think my parents will be buying a new PC anytime soon. I reckon this will be some sort of spin-off title. Well, I don't think it will have any affect on the plot MGS2 left us with, ie. Liquid going off with Arsenal and the Patriots being dead for 100 years. Could be wrong though. Most probably, actually.

AND now, we hear that there's another Metal Gear title in the pipeline!

*screams like a girl*

I would *expect* this to be Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PS2. Quite strange though. If Hideo WAS going to bring out another MGS (which he said he wouldn't) I would've though it'd be on the PS3. Since that's gonna be released in late 2005, and SR said it would be released 2 years after Substance...agh, I don't know, and who cares anyway? MGS IS BACK!!

And what's this...an online Metal Gear Solid!?!?

*screams like a girl and runs around naked*

So, if we look at all the evidence and do all the calculations, that's three more Metal Gear games. All of them probably being on PS2/PS3 and possibly on X-Box and PC.
NONE for GameCube.

Let me repeat: NONE for GameCube. :D

Knowing my luck though, SR will announce tomorrow that all these are set to be released on the GC and no where else.

Anyway, judging by the massive fan base the first two already have, and the prospect of X-Box and PC gamers playing it, AND the prospect of playing online Metal Gear, I say that in 4 years time Metal Gear will be bigger than Mario. Unless of course, Shiggsy (sp?) scares Konami into not making any of them by threatening to paint all their offices in yellow, pink and bright green.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

PS-Yes Stryke, I do take MGS too seriously. Now go watch DVDs for a week, only having breaks for food and water. ;D

Yeah.. MGS2 was not as big as expected. Mario will be because Mario rules.

Interactive movie... or an amazing classic.

No more needs to be said. The facts are enough for me and most others.

I also believe that the new MGS will get to Nintendo somehow.

I feel it.

Interactive movie returns, meh, I'll stick to Skies of Arcadia. :0)
