13 Predictions For 2017's Biggest Video Games
5. Metal Gear Survive Is Better Than Everyone Expects
The Prediction: Konami's much-maligned, Hideo Kojima-less Metal Gear Solid zombie spin-off will actually be an entertaining action game...for those prepared to accept it on its own terms.
Why It Will Happen: The Internet hate against Konami is totally understandable, but if Survive is released at an acceptable price point and is honest about what it is, it could be a fun, arcadey little shooter. After all, it's still using the FOX engine, so we know the graphics and core gameplay will be fantastic, right?
Why It Might Not: Then again, Konami are loathed for a reason, and it's clear they don't really care much about video games anymore beyond milking their franchises for every last penny.
It's entirely possible the combat will play fine, but the game will be short, low-effort and massively overpriced.
