the real question is when we will even see them.
We don't know what he is doing. Both those things could still turn out to be, or into, MGS.
My point is have you ever played MGS and then thought, "MAN! I WISH I COULD STEAL THIS JEEP AND DRIVE AROUND WRECKING THIS PLACE UP AND THEN CALL IN HELI-SUPPORT." I just do not understand why he keeps creating these non-stories to use these ideas. Wouldn't Ground Zeroes, the gameplay/concept/whatever, be better as a new IP? Something not related to this convoluted story, that wouldn't then just pile more on to it. Same with PO, PW. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the idea for an open world game, and then pulled a Portable Ops and stuck MGS into it.
So you want to play Mercenaries? Should've bought it when it came out.
I do agree with the whole story being messed up, I don't get it at 100% myself, but thats the way Kojima works.

What? My point is that no one has ever played MGS and thought that.

i think Kojima takes the safe route with these new features by plugging them into MGS. i mean when you base a game off of features you end up with Rising. a cluster**bleep** of stalled development that never sees the light of day, so hed rather cram features into a game than make a game around those features.
not to mention that it is MGS, and and anything with MGS on it sells.

at least he still has heart when making new MGS games and isnt just making them for money.
i pray that MGS never winds up like Final Fantasy. you know, a good series with good games suddenly being whored out with horrible sequel after horrible sequel, that no one asked for, about the worst FF game ever made. inb4 FOX argues that thats already happened to MGS.

But it kind of already has...
At least it didn't get stuck in the cycle.

Lol. Are you kidding me? As an example, just look at the characters in PW and tell me that they are near the same quality as the previous games, even PO had better, original characters.
If he wasn't doing it for the money he would have dropped MGS after one of the multiple times he said he was going to do it.
