Of course, there's life after Snake. "Actually, it's a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on." In fact, the Metal Gear franchise may continue its life as anything but a game. "Maybe it'll be a novel or a comic – I do have some ideas." Don't expect Kojima to be hands-on with the process, though. "However, I have to say that I'm not going to do everything if we were to create it. Maybe I'll just produce or maybe design the game and just act on that role, so I won't be the total creator of that series if it happens."

If Snake dies in MGS4 it will be the saddest scene in the history of video games. Nay, in the history of media.

I had a feeling he was going to die in MGS4, Kojima saying what he did makes me really think he's going to bite the dust.
It will definitely be a sad day for me :(.

I'm a grown man and if Snake dies....it's like a big chunk of my gaming life dies with it. I just might cry.

I must admit, I got a lump in my throat and my eyes watered up at the end of MGS3 (the graveyard scene). Powerful moment.

In the trailers, his face is already decaying (clone, rapid ageing), and he sticks a gun in his mouth.
At least make it a good death - no suicide. That just doesn't fit snake.

Wow, I totally didn't see this coming. Snake should go hang himself because his games suck.

True, Metal Gear is Konami's but don't ya think Sony has quite a fair bit of say on the direction and marketing of the franchise ?

Sony has nothing to do with Konami. MGS is Konami's property. Next..

whatt thee helll I dont care, I love snake way too much to see him die, what am I going to do after I beat MGS4?!?! I think my world would be filled with depression for a very long time. Im sorry if im being selfish, but think of the game and gamers. THE best game ever created is going to die, well I mean the best main character, what is going to happen next, play as Raiden? wack. If snake dies, I think a part of everyone who plays this game would die... it saddens me, I wish i could go and slap him and really know how everyone feels! ='[

I'd say 6 games is a good run for a character...now that Mario fella, he's overdue for a death scene.

LMAO!! That's the best comment i've seen today.
On topic: I wouldn't mind seeing snake die. I mean i think Kojima is very brave for actually trying to fight the temptation of recycling a franchise every so often for a fast buck. Now only if a couple of devs with crappy games would follow suit.
