Mission based gameplay involving Snake and Otacon tracking down and destroying Metal Gears all over the world. Doesn't need too intricate of a story, plot already set up and canon, lots of free reign to do what any writer wants to do with it within that smaller scope. Multiple Ground Zero sized areas that feel totally different from one another. Heck if KONAMI wanted a games as service type thing they could even have this work like Hitman and gradually add a new Metal Gear to deal with in a different location every couple of months for years. It's non invasive to the established canon of the saga, while still using a fan favourite character during a period we know happened but haven't seen, and gives lots of opportunity for marketable mech designs and to keep players on it for years without having to reinvent the wheel too much. You could have used so much of what TPP already developed and just expand on that. Anyway enough fanfiction about a fake game!

I think there was a chance they could have made it work. I'm guessing MGS:Rising fell through because they promised you could "cut anything" and it just wasn't doable. Looked phenomenal but building an entire game with buildings you can destroy and that fall in that manner is impossible.
