shiroikaze Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Aww, you make it sound like it's a bad thing. Quote
protostar8 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I thought that the next MGS had already been announced and that it was going to be another Raiden based adventure (or suckfest)... Quote
wolfx Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I'm hoping those clues point to ---> ZOE 3: Raiden. ;3 Quote
Einherjar Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Here's an analysis of the Next website: http://kotaku.com/5258935/kojima-takes-cou...surd-conclusion Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) I think the Raiden thing is a red herring. The only two pictures we have seen so far (the original magazine teaser and now the website image) don't suggest anything that says modern or futuristic. What little can be seen in them looks rather dated. In other words, with what we see right now, I doesn't *look* like a direct sequel to MGS4, or anything close to the Snatcher universe. If its not another "prequel" MGS, my guess would be a new IP. Still no love for ZOE, though... Edited May 18, 2009 by Duke Togo Quote
Ghost Train Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I'm still holding my breath for some sort of MGS4 conversion for X360, yea yea I know... disc compression issues bla bla bla. Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 I'm still holding my breath for some sort of MGS4 conversion for X360, yea yea I know... disc compression issues bla bla bla. This would be a strange way to announce it, as the images we have seen so far look like nothing in MGS4. Quote
Keith Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I hope it is a new game, MGS 4 engine is too good to waste. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 it could be a 500-hour Metal Gear anthology game? imagine all the Metal Gear games reworked, integrated & given "awesome" 2-hour long cut scenes. ...plus the obligatory unskippable 18-hour end credits i hope it's Snatcher. i'd prefer "new gaming experience" over "more of the same" Quote
Keith Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 That's definately a 5, besides, if it were Snatcher, it'd be Snow, not lightning. Quote
Einherjar Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 If this was a promotion for a new Boktai game, the stormy clouds on the website would be clear and sunny by the end of the countdown. Sounds like something Kojima would pull off. S -> SUNLIGHT!!! Quote
kung flu Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I hope its the old msx metal gear games getting a remake, that would be nice, but if its a sequel to mgs 4, not sure how they would continue the story since mgs 4 pretty much ended the mgs saga. If its a prequel, then maybe a story about raiden saving sunny from the patriots or the old metal gear games remade. Thats what i hope it is, but i bet its got nothing to do with metal gear at all.

Ghost Train Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Well, 5 is a prime number, the previous prime number is 3.... .... 3 is the first number of 360 5+1 = 6 ... 6 is the second number in 360 When the timer ends it will be zero ... OMGWTF BBQ, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE!!1!! MGS4 for TEH XBOX360!1!!! I am retarded. desu. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Personally I hope it's something other than a new Metal Gear. I was never that into the MGS games until 4, and after seeing just a little bit of what 4 offered I went and bought/played through all the previous title multiple times and then went headlong into 4. Personally, I'm not sure any game ever is as good as MGS4. It tied up everything so well that there doesn't need to be another one. I know Kojima has said he'd be fine with someone else taking the reigns on Metal Gear and telling new stories, I just don't think it'd work. What's Metal Gear without Snake, or Liquid, or Otacon or anyone else? Quote
Roy Focker Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah I'd prefer modern remakes of the old 8 bit games Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Besides ZOE 3, I'd like a post-Metal Gear but pre-MGS game. Maybe even a 70's era "Big Boss" Snake game. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 what ever happened to the page that had "(something)+!= power symbol" in green text from a few months ago. what ever became of that? Quote

That was for Metal Gear Solid Touch for the Iphone/Ipod... it's a "shooting" game. Quote

Jeremy007 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 can anyone here possibly tell me the name and issue of the japanese gaming magazine that features this ad? Do any of the MW'ers in Japan know? any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Keith Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 It was already mentioned on the first page, Famitsu. Quote
Jeremy007 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) i see. many thanks FAMITSU is a weekly mag, right? Does anyone know if thats the newest issue? Edited May 19, 2009 by Jeremy007 Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Upcoming Famitsu to cover new Metal Gear game for PlayStation system by Andrew Yoon { May 21st 2009 at 2:15PM } PlayStation Unsurprisingly, there's a brand new Metal Gear game coming out. No, Kojima Production's countdown isn't over yet (that's later today!). A listing at a Japanese 7-Eleven product database reveals that an upcoming issue of Famitsu PSP+PS3 will feature a brand new Metal Gear game. The magazine is scheduled to ship next week on May 30. We're pretty certain the upcoming Kojima Productions reveal is somehow tied to this upcoming Famitsu story. Considering the game will be featured in a PlayStation-exclusive magazine makes it a pretty safe bet that the game will arrive on either PS3 or PSP. Perhaps handheld players will get a chance at a new Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops experience -- Konami indicated their interest in a sequel over two years ago. Edited May 21, 2009 by Duke Togo Quote
Chowser Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Maybe the story of how Raiden went from MGS2 to MGS4???? We'll know in about 30 secs. and of course a billion people are online trying to load the page so it is real slow... Edited May 22, 2009 by Chowser Quote
Vegas Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 damn website froze.....it better not be another countdown timer hahaha Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Maybe the story of how Raiden went from MGS2 to MGS4???? We'll know in about 30 secs. and of course a billion people are online trying to load the page so it is real slow... 119:25:00 wow... what a load. So the flashing message is now 5/S, E3, and backward 9/g) this is retarded Edited May 22, 2009 by anime52k8 Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Kojima countdown reveals another countdown by Randy Nelson { May 21st 2009 at 9:15PM } Breaking News PlayStation The countdown timer on Kojima Productions' teaser site for its next project -- launched one week ago today -- has reached zero, revealing ... another countdown! This one is set for a little more than 8 days, expiring on May 30, Tokyo time. It's also raining now, as if the sky itself is crying along with all of Kojima's patient fans. Given the news earlier today that Japanese gaming mag Famitsu will unveil a Metal Gear project for a PlayStation platform on its May 30 issue's cover, we're literally counting the days until it hits. Still, keep your eyes on the skies. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Kojima and company were listening in on your theories of what the reveal might be. Maybe next time? Edited May 22, 2009 by Duke Togo Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Its now flashing "5" "@" "E" "3" I think you can figure that one out... Edited May 22, 2009 by Duke Togo Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Its now flashing "E" "3" "5" I think you can figure that one out... the E3 parts obvious. the 5 would be if it is a 5, if it's and S then who knows what it means... whats with the 9/g if it's a g what the hell does that mean. if its a 9 why is it backwards. Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 So, putting together all of today's news: MGS5 for the PS3 at E3, Famitsu has it as its cover story in its next issue, coming out May 30th. Quote
