Metal Gear Solid 5 Release Date Delayed Until 2015? Series Creator Hideo Kojima Says It Will Be Released ‘Around The Same Time The PS$ Becomes Widely Adapted’

Metal Gear Solid 5 series creator Hideo Kojima recently revealed the game might not be released until "the time that the Playstation 4 becomes widely adaptable," Famitsu reports, leaving many gamers wondering if they will have to wait until 2015.

"The main game -The Phantom Pain - is extremely massive and is still going to take a while. I discussed the situation with the marketing team and after much deliberation decided at least to let people play the prologue," Kojima told the website.

"It looks like we'll be able to release The Phantom Pain around the time that the PlayStation 4 becomes widely adapted."

Although an official release date has yet to be announced, the developer also mentioned that the new game will allow new custom soundtracks.

"Snake in GZ always carries 'Walkman.' You can listen to any song you like with it during the mission or even on the helicopter. I think 007 's theme of Bond (arranged by MOBY) & "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" theme fit well when sneaking in. I unexpectedly cried over Adel's "Skyfall" when rescuing," Kojima revealed.

The series creator also garnered attention when he revealed that Metal Gear Solid 5 will have several inconsistencies.

"When you try to write something that was supposed to be in the middle there will be some inconsistencies when you go into very small details," Kojima said in an interview.

"The most important part is writing something that is fun, something that is impressive, something that is better than it was before. So sometimes in the interest of doing this, of having a better experience, we sacrifice some consistencies in the story."
