Konami Says Project Ogre/MGS5 Tie-In Rumors Are False
See Full ImageOver the weekend, gamers apparently got the benefit of one pretty massive leak; it involved Hideo Kojima's ultra-secret new "Project Ogre" and Metal Gear Solid 5.
Essentially, it was a rumor that tied the two titles together, thereby pseudo-confirming MGS5. The information evidently came from a behind-closed-doors presentation at Comic-Con that showed off the Fox Engine. But apparently, after stringing everyone along for a little while, Konami is finally saying it's all bunk.
The publisher's UK Twitter account first tossed up Tweets like, "Fake or real, we love a bit of speculation!" But then came the unfortunate clarification, which irritated some people:
"Seriously, just in case the #pinch #salt hashtags weren't enough - the chap who claims to have set up the fake rumours has been in touch."
Okay, so they're saying it's fake...but that hasn't stopped the speculation. There's no doubt that Kojima was at Comic-Con, and there's no doubt that he was being secretive about something over there. We know next to nothing about "Project Ogre" or MGS5 (the latter hasn't even been officially confirmed yet), but to learn that the two projects are one in the same might not be too surprising.
And by the way, here's a Tweet from Epic boss Cliff Bleszinski:
"Just got pulled into a back room at Comic Con by @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN and showed some crazy new secret stuff. Wow."
We're getting a little antsy over here, Kojima...

The only hint at The Terrible Children project in PO is through that god awful scene with Ursula, who was to much of an anime character to be suited within the MG universe. BB is asked about his children in PW and he denies them, that is all that is mentioned about it. It should be one of the biggest plot points of the series, if they're doing all these prequels it has to be shown.

I do somewhat agree with you about PW though, not because enough wasn't shown, but because what was shown doesn't fit with the rest of the series.
The Peace walker machine itself takes away from the TX 55 in MG1 being the ultimate weapon, the TX 55 is vastly inferior.
In MGS4, Eva said Big Boss returned to the U.S to take command of Fox hound, but in PW, Zero knew of mother base. Why would he allow Big Boss to return?

Chapter 2 could be the events of Metal Gear 1 remade (the MSX game), letting the player control a much younger Solid Snake.
And Chapter 3 would be Metal Gear 2 remade (again, the MSX game).
As it stands now, most of the events of Metal Gear 1 & 2 have been retconned by MGS1. Things like zanzibar land being the worlds only nuclear power, when MGS1 states that the U.S and russia have 20.000 nukes. And Big Boss never told Snake he was his father in MG2, but MGS1 states that he did.
In short, MG1 & 2 need remaking

hes been working on MGS for so freaking long now, even he says he wants to work on something new so enough is enough!
plus he constantly keeps saying he wants to kill off snake, so he should be kept as far away from MGS as possible!
put out a restraining order or something............
