I wonder what else they could add to MGS4?

Siliconera (via Kotaku) has just uncovered a recent registration in the Japanese trademark office for a "Metal Gear Solid Existence" as registered by one "Konami." Hmm. No other details provided besides that oh-so-revealing image to the right there. Siliconera speculates this game (if it even is a game) will somehow go back to the "origins" of the MGS franchise and maybe once again feature everybody's favorite Most Famous Soldier, Big Boss. But haven't we pretty much covered the Metal Gear timeline from start to finish by now? My instinct is not to get so excited.

Siliconera has discovered Metal Gear Solid Existence in the Japanese trademark database. We're going to give you a number of things this could possibly be. Let's make some predictions now and see who wins.

* Metal Gear Solid 4: Existence - A re-release of MGS4 with added content, much in the vein of Substance and Subsistence.

* Portable Ops 2 - The long-rumored real sequel to the PSP-exclusive Portable Ops series.

* Metal Gear Solid EXistence - An Xbox 360-exclusive Metal Gear Solid game.

* OR ... A damn cell phone game that won't ever come out in America.

With TGS around the corner, there's a chance we may find out what this mysterious title is sooner than later. Stay tuned.

Not too long ago, when Ryan Patton announced that he was leaving Kojima Productions, he accidentally let it slip that the developer was working on Metal Gear Solid 5. Now, with Konami registering a new title with the Japanese trademark database, the rumors are flying. But is this really the sequel title or something else?

While we have a good idea that Metal Gear Solid 5 is coming, I think that it's more likely that Existence is going to turn out to be Metal Gear Solid 4: Existence. Like Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, I think Existence will be a Director's Cut of sorts.

I just can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 5: Abstinence.

What the hell did they cut? You mean the cut scenes were even longer? :eek: :D

I thought blu-ray ment you didn't have to cut content out.

Kojima originally wanted the
bike chase scene
to be on a skateboard, but he also wanted players to be able to choose from 1000 high definition stickers to customize their boards which required a 100gig bluray disk that wasn't available at the time.

He also wanted the boobs to have 'MOAR DEFINITION!' (his words).
 
This thread has taking a really bad turn. :D

Yeah, sorry, probably my fault. What exactly do we think they will add to this one? MGS2 was a xbox release with added mini games (which imo were pointless), MGS3 needed subsistence imo as the original camera system was pants.

This will either be MGS4 for the xbox360 or just some new packaging and minor extra content to revitalize sales... or... maybe an extra Act? With raiden? SWEEEEET!
 
At the risk of sounding like Kevin Keegan...I'd love it if it was released on Xbox but sadly I can't see it.

Would be a nice surprise though :D
 
I'd be surprised if this one didn't make it to 360, they'd be missing out on a lot of money if they didn't.

I'm just musing to myself here, but wasn't it a case of MGS2 Substance came to Xbox owing to the success of the original MGS2 on the PS2 and that MGS3 wasn't as much of a success by comparison so that one never made the jump?
