Could the next Metal Gear title opt for an open-world design; seems so if Kojima-san' speech is anything to go by...
Although Hideo Kojima stuck to his words and decided against showing what he's currently working on during his GDC keynote speech, reading between the lines could possibly hint towards a change in design for the next Metal Gear title.
The lengthy speech centred upon how technological restrictions provided the genesis for the series. For example, a limitation on the number of sprites that the MSX could display gave rise to the stealth/infiltration mechanic of the series because it couldn't handle the intensity of an action title.
Fast forward through 21 years of the Metal Gear series and we arrive to the next title.
Kojima-san mentions his desire to merge Japanese "designer-driven game design" with that of the Western "technology-based game design" approach, which has given rise to the popularity of "open world game design, going anywhere, riding on any vehicle..."
Could this possibly suggest the next Metal Gear title will offer more freedom than what's previously come before; open-world design replacing tightly woven action and meticulously directed cut-scenes?
It's hard to know for certain at this stage, as Kojima-san has often thrown nuggets of information that fail to materialise in the past - anybody remember his speech on "inner qualities" (seeds sprouting trees) before the announcement of Metal Gear Solid 4?

Nope you got 'Militaries Sans Frontieres' on his hat - Soldiers without boundaires. Also he wears his hat at a different angle to Big Boss.
I still think Kojima-san is being at his most annoyingly best, and is probably laughing his face off with all the speculation - people staring at the rain and seeing things that aren't really there. Brilliant.
The "censored" interview was a masterstroke.

I think it's going to be a game about Raiden saving Sunny from the Patriots and also finding and delivering Big Boss' remains to Big Mama. Although at the end of MGS4 we found out that those weren't really remains of Big Boss actually they were a decoy,.remains of Solidus.
Totally confusing. The insignia on BigBoss' hat on the teaser site doesn't that match the same hat he wore in "SnakeEater?"

Yeah heres an idea. Let this series die before they run it into the ground, and start a new one with the same concepts.

MGS5 is a must
The main character i heard would be Raiden again which would be amazing considering he is a highly skilled ninja, super quick, crazy strong. I would also love to do some of those amazing tricks from the cut scene when he takes down like 20 Gekkos.
Plus he can shoot guns brilliantly but i reckon it would be a super awesome game if his primary weapon was his ninja blade, even though you can change it.
Please HIDEO KOJIMA make MGS5 because when the Metal Gear Solid series is over ill never have anything to do in my life again.
If you make MGS5 make Raiden the main character.
And it would be awesome if it was a bit of a free roaming place, but not in the same place for the whole game.
