The PS5 is the first game system since the PS1 that I didn't wait for an MGS game to come out before buying it. I bought my PS2 to play MGS2, my PS3 to play MGS4, my PSP to play Peace Walker, and my PS4 to play MGSV. Heck, Kojima's cinematic style of story-telling in MGS is probably the main reason I'm a movie collector and on this website.

I put 200+ hours into MGSV, so I was ok with what we were given, but I was actually expecting something closer to Witcher 3's expansions where we'd get additional chapters or content as DLC to expand on the vanilla game. With MGS1, we got the VR missions side-game. With MGS2, we got Substance which had Snake's Tales and more VR missions. With MGS3, we got Subsistence which added the moveable camera, MG1&2, and other things. The PSP games with their mission-based levels all seemed to be fleshed out with side-missions.

Then, with MGS4 and MGSV, we were pretty much just given the vanilla games. I guess I could include MG online as side-content for them, but I'm not an online gamer.

So, if MGS was ever revived, I wouldn't mind a release-plan similar to FF7 remake, Witcher 3, or other PC games that have planned expansions on a relatively consistent basis. They really could have done this with MGSV if the fallout didn't happen; instead, the Fox Engine was wasted on the Zombie game.
