My love of this franchise has greatly diminished over the years (though I still think MGS3 was great) mainly due to the horrid writing and never-ending monologues but I figured some here would appreciate this bit of news:

Hideo Kojima is back behind the wheel for the next installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
First details of the project are revealed in the upcoming issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine UK, where Kojima himself discusses plans for Metal Gear Solid 5 and the recently teased Project Ogre.
The issue hits newsstands on November 29, though excerpts from the interview are said to be available online sometime next week.

So the question is... will it be coming for PS3 or PS4?
EDIT:
Here's the full storry CVG originally broke,
'We'll probably have to make Metal Gear Solid 5,' admits Kojima
"But what that will be, we have no idea," creator tells OPM
(http://www.computerandvideogames.com/326823/metal-gear-solid-5-well-probably-have-to-make-it-admits-kojima/)Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has admitted his studio will "probably have to make" Metal Gear Solid 5 "at some point".
Speaking in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine UK - on sale November 29 - the Kojima Productions man said of MGS5: "I think we'll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea".
Once again downplaying his involvement in any future Metal Gear project, Kojima added: "As far as my involvement in the project is concerned, [it] probably won't be as much as it was with MGS1 - maybe I can do just one stage! For MGS1 I made the maps myself, laid out the enemy routes myself, did everything hands-on - that level I can't do again."
Of course, any fan worth his salt will point out that's exactly what Hideo said about MGS4 - and then he made it anyway.
The creator explained: "I intended to take it to a certain point and then hand it off, but that didn't work, because it's hard to convey the concept to other people then have them take the reins and carry on and preserve that vision."
His solution then is to not get involved at all, he said. "That's why it's easier to have them come up with everything from the start and then take it to the end."
