In a new IGN interview, he tells that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the last real Metal Gear Solid game he will direct. "I really don't want to say that this the final game or this is the wrap up," he told IGN. "But if I don't say it, people will make me create MGS again!" Its obvious that Kojima wants to move away from Metal Gear Solid and make new games (hopefully for our PlayStation 3's) that we can enjoy. "So I have to say, 'Die, Snake,' and really end it so I can move on to something else!"
That doesn't mean, however, if Snake dies, thats the end of the game forever. "Actually, it's a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on." He states that it can live on in other ways than a game. "Maybe it'll be a novel or a comic – I do have some ideas." he said. "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."
Whatever he decides, I'm sure we can all respect his decision and thank him for bringing us some of the best games ever created.

Hideo Kojima Wants Snake Dead

Since this version of MGS is coming so early in the PS3 cycle it's doubtful that we'll see another MGS in this generation.
However, I think Kojima can't help himself from making a new MGS whenever there's new hardware. I'm sure every game is several years of his and his team's lives gone but I think when new hardware shows up it reignites their passion for the series. This, I think, is the main reason why we see a new MGS with each new hardware.
But because it's early in the PS3 cycle it's possible we could see either MGS5 or a director's cut of MGS4 (ala MGS3: Subsistence).
