Bungie may not<\/a> consider Halo: Reach<\/a> the “real” fourth entry in the Halo series, but Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima does think of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker<\/a> as essentially Metal Gear Solid 5 — almost.<\/p>\n “Since it is on PSP, I did not officially number it,” Kojima said in the latest issue of Official U.K. PlayStation Magazine<\/em> (via<\/a> The Gaming Liberty). “But the game design, story, number of staff and budget — you can say that this is a big project. It would’ve been number 5. It’s not a side story or a spin-off. It’s not like Portable Ops<\/a> or Acid<\/a>. I am deeply involved and this is the next Metal Gear.”<\/p>\n So deeply involved, evidently, that he’s even coming up with nearly every idea in the game. “Well it’s strange, but not so many ideas come from the other staff. Co-op Ring, Love Box — the names and the ideas come from myself,” he said (this via<\/a> CVG). “I am taking charge of the overall game design.” <\/p>\n Buy This Item: [Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
