Kojima Productions PR manager Jiro Oishi has started up a new "MGS PW Making" column at the Kojima Productions blog.

Notice the "5" after the Metal Gear Solid? According to Oishi, at the very start of development, one of the concepts Kojima Productions had for the new game was to make it Metal Gear Solid 5.

Oishi says that although the number is no longer there, he believes the game's content has become the highest level of the series' numbered titles.
