Here we go. Konami is making a new title called Metal Gear Survive. And you better believe the internet has opinions about it!
Taking place in an alternative universe, it’s a co-op survival game that’s set after Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. This is the first Metal Gear Solid console game, notpachi-slot remake, that Konami has announced since series creator Hideo Kojima left.
What do people think of the debut trailer? As of writing, here are the YouTube clip’s “likes” and “dislikes.”
Ouch. Let’s have a look at more opinions from around the internet:

Pretty ballsy/tone-deaf of Konami to go forward with a new Metal Gear game so soon. 2017 release means Kojima probably knew of it, though.

Metal Gear Survive announced and it looks awesome! A great spin-off, hence no "Solid" in the title.

When I think Metal Gear I sure think "vague resident evil looking thing" and not "fever dream about the military industrial complex"

What's Konami's answer to their haters. A generic zombie game with the Metal Gear name attached.

Considering how awkward I felt just now watching that Metal Gear trailer, I can't even imagine how Hideo feels. Hope he's got some Pepto B

There’s one reaction that is missing, and it belongs to Hideo Kojima.
