It's been 6 months since the release so the exclusive period may be coming to an end!

Taken from NeoGAF.

[Nelo Ice]

ruh oh

[metaly]

I hope this doesn't have anything to do with MGO.

[KingBroly]

A Next Metal Gear? That statement doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing the last part means Go, but the first part...engrish at its' finest.

[Spoon_si]

MGO .. please no... lol

it look like the xbox 360 console power button when turned on...

I wouldn't be shocked if this happen.. MGS has popped on xbox and even gamecube before.

edit: I saw this was already posted in general gaming. My bad.

[KingBroly]

In the link for it it says MGST, I'm guessing this goes back to that Metal Gear Solid Transcendence thing a few months ago. Or whatever it was called.

[VipFREAK]

Oh... god... christ... not... again... : sigh: :roll:

[Salamando3000]

I wouldn't be too hasty to call it a 360 ring. The symbol looks more like a Power Symbol to me, which could indicate a PC version.

[dallow]

I would guess 360 because of the green.
And Wii because of the exclamation marks that are like the letter i.

[BlueSwim]

!?

Fluid Ac!d!?

Zune!?

TRIOLOGY!?

GAF gag post confirmed!?:lol::lol::lol:

[KingBroly]

Your fake/old PR's do not amuse me.

[aerozero]

This isn't ZOE3... >=(

Since when have the International Electrotechnical Commission's globally-recognized power symbols (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol) been at all proprietary to PC?

Anyways, let's not beat around the bush. It's MGS4: Subblahsomething on 360. We all know this.

[CoffeeEdge]

Dear geicos27: You have been completely trolled by NeoGAF. Please cease your attempts to report gaming news.

Just like Denis Dyack, owned by NeoGAF.:lol::lol::lol:

[SynGamer]

Honestly, if this were for the PC, there would be no reason to hype it. Konami, along with everyone else, knows that it's 360 or bust for MGS.

[guyver2077]

about freakin time... make it happen already

[Dr. Pizza]

If the Green Light is indeed meant for Microsoft's Xbox 360, then Sony PlayStation 3 now have a Red Light, or to be more precise;

Sony's Red Ring of Death.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

I hate this bullshit.

[Brak]

Hopefully this has nothing to do with MGO, which gave me a severe case of the AIDS on the Playstation 3.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

Hopefully this has nothing to do with MGO, which gave me a severe case of the AIDS on the Playstation 3.

I agree with this statement.

[Dr. Pizza]

I hate this bullshit.

What part of it excatly?

[62t]

The green is a bit darker than the light green MS been using

[DarkSageRK]

It's an anagram for Metal Gear EX: Saint

The two exclamation marks indicate the setting will be in a Latin American country, and the power button symbolizes power.

Putting this all together, I can only imagine that the next Metal Gear project focuses on a priest infiltrating a power company in Brazil.

Konami was really tricky, but thankfully I was here to decipher their message.

[Luftwaffles08]

And here I was hoping that Konami was going to use the Metal Gear mechanics in a console adaptation of the smash hit, The Saint.

It's over.
Sony is finished.


TMK will probably take this seriously.

[Lord_Kefka]

Fanboy War sequence initialized. Countdown.


5....4....3...2....

[benjamouth]

Does it really matter anymore, if anyone was buying a PS3 for MGS4 they've surely bought it by now.

[dmaul1114]

Does it really matter anymore, if anyone was buying a PS3 for MGS4 they've surely bought it by now.

Yeah it would have no impact on console sales.

Just away for Konami to make more money and for 360 only owners to play the game.

[KingBroly]

I think that whatever materializes out of this (I think it's Metal Gear Acid because of the first i), we can safely say that Kojima is the biggest cockteaser in the gaming industry.

[ninja dog]

Hopefully this has nothing to do with MGO, which gave me a severe case of the AIDS on the Playstation 3.

you're lucky you got off with only AIDS. The last 3 acts of MGS4 gave me the clap as well.

MGS4 Sub-something with actual gameplay or no thx kojima

[Krymner]

Kind of weird wording, I agree with KingBroly. "A Next Metal Gear is..."

Is that some engrish, or something on purpose?

Or maybe related to this?
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/thumb/9/91/A_Next_10.JPG/300px-A_Next_10.JPG

Maybe a Metal Gear vs. Marvel crossover fighting game!!

Please tell me this is an april fools joke....please?
Im feeling more outraged than the people who bought the LE MGS4 PS3, DAMN YOU Konami.

[KingBroly]

That is a joke from NeoGaf over a year and a half ago. Notice the January 11, 2007 date in there?

Another victim to NeoGaf I suppose.

[Anexanhume]

Things I take from it...

The first inverted exclamation point is used in Spanish as well as many other romance languages. I doubt that is significant. Also, there's no juicy clues hidden in the page source.

[Chase]

Call of Duty: Metal Gears confirmed.

[Salamando3000]

As others elsewhere have mentioned, the inverted exclamation could just be the letter i, as in iPhone, Nintendo DSi, or the Wii (although the latter being more of a stretch). Seems this can be linked to any game platform out there.

[homeland]

saw this posted on 1up in response to the article about this.

pretty far stretch.. but I got a chuckle.

Out of those three platforms, the Wii is the likeliest candidate. I sincerely doubt they would create a game specifically designed for the iPhone or a DSi exclusive.

It is a toss up between the Wii and 360. Hopefully, it's for the 360 simply because I will not ever buy a Wii.

[torifile]

Hopefully this has nothing to do with MGO, which gave me a severe case of the AIDS on the Playstation 3.
Playing MGO gave you AIDS? Are you sure that the MGO you're talking about is the same one others are talking about?

[cochesecochese]

Bull and shit.

This is merely the announcement of Substance backpat on 360. Better late than never, etc.

[RelentlessRolento]

I don't give a shit what console but it better be Ac!d.

if the last logo isn't a system I say it's Metal Gear Acid Online (Different title most likely). Why?

- Acid Exclamation

- Global Symbol (the circle... though yeah, it's more like a power sign)

- Green is the new color for the game since yellow was the last one.

[CrimsonPaw]

I wonder if the initial i refers to something coming for the iPhone considering that MGS4 had a iPod and Macbook Pros in the game (it's obvious they're fans of Apple) and also considering the iPhone just launched in Japan. Then again, the last symbol does look like it ties back to the 360.

Hope we find out soon.

[whoknows]

I was just about to post that I wanted it to be MGA3 :lol:

[Brak]

you're lucky you got off with only AIDS. The last 3 acts of MGS4 gave me the clap as well.

MGS4 Sub-something with actual gameplay or no thx kojima
I didn't make it that far. I wanted to beat MGS3 before I got too far into MGS4, but I never got around to it.
Playing MGO gave you AIDS? Are you sure that the MGO you're talking about is the same one others are talking about?
That shitty / laggy / boring / unbalanced / archaic gamplay MGO? Yeah. That one.

[Thongsy]

I got back into playing MGO. Yea it isn't the best, but I did enjoy playing it with my friend. Too many glitchers playing it though. Real annoying. I just enjoy it's not a fps like every other popular online shooter around.

[Persona7]

Maybe both ACiD games repackaged and released on XBLA? I wish. :( Or even Portable ops redone and put on XBLA and PSN.

I just want something MGS related released on XBLA or Wiiware.

[KingBroly]

The only Metal Gear Solid game I could see coming to XBLA is the original MGS because of the size issues. Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2, as well as Portable Ops also kinda fall into this size trap (maybe?)

But as many people have noted, it says mgst, not mgs4_t like mgs2_sub or whatever it is.

[RelentlessRolento]

all those would be win.

[blitz6speed]

Its for the iphone.

[bardockkun]

If it's for the IPhone all I imagine is basically the whole game taking place on a CODEC screen and you have to scream as much non coherent nonsense as possible to a person on the other line of the CODEC.

[Krymner]

I also agree that its Metal Gear Acid Mobile for the iPhone. The cell-phone version won the Best Mobile Game at What Mobile awards just last month.

After watching this video I'm pretty sure it will have something to do with the Acid series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfGMSRs9Hnw&feature=related


The opening and closing uses the exclamation point symbol prominetly, so I think that solves part of the riddle.

The "i" part of the riddle could easily be for the iPhone, or even possibly for the new DSi. But my money's on the iPhone.

[vanilla_shakin_it]

Maybe more at spike vga's? God I hope they don't draw this out.

[Krymner]

ZOMG! The image has been updated!!

http://www.vgcats.com/news/rings.gif haha, j/k.

[xtreme_Zr2]

Haha, nice Krymner.

And I wouldn't mind seeing Metal Gear on the 360.

[sleepy180]

damn hope mgs4 comes to 360. that is the only game that still makes me want to purchase a ps3 for it.

[VipFREAK]

ZOMG! The image has been updated!!

http://www.vgcats.com/news/rings.gif haha, j/k.

LMAO! Bwahahahahahhaaha!

[Mr. 420]

Have fun playing metal gear acid on your big screen.

[MillerTime2523]

LMAO! Bwahahahahahhaaha!
:lol: I was thinking the same thing

[bigdaddybruce44]

Anything to do with Metal Gear would be great, no matter what platform it is on. Well, minus anything to do with cellphones, because I don't have that can play games. I would actually love to see a new Ac!d game. I know a lot of people don't like the series, and I am by no means a fan of card games, but I had a load of fun with both games.

As for MGO, I don't know where all the hate is coming from. MGO is great. It's something very different. It's not, "Oh, let's all run out into the open, and whoever has the twitchest fingers wins." It's a load of fun getting the drop on people, using traps, etc. Both versions are easily in my personal top online games ever, especially Subsistence MGO. MGS4 MGO was a slight disappointment, just because it didn't feel like that big of a jump from the original. Still, I easily put in a month with it and will probably return, if I start hitting a lull in games that interest me.

[torifile]

Metal Gear for iPhone (http://www.konami-digital-entertainment.co.jp/en/news/release/2008/1217/index.html)

[Hydro2Oxide]

Metal Gear for iPhone (http://www.konami-digital-entertainment.co.jp/en/news/release/2008/1217/index.html)

Another one bites the touch.

How are they going to fit all those cutscenes on a 360 disc? I'm guessing it'll come in 3, if it does come...

[bigdaddybruce44]

Damn, that blows. I wish they would eventually make these Metal Gear cellphone games available in some kind of collection for the PSP or something.

[guyver2077]

http://www.n-gage.com/ngi/ngage/web/us/en/showroom/gamedetail.504.GameDetail.html

[BlueSwim]

So, is this officially(a.k.a. Konami) confirmed to be what the "A New Metal Gear Is...." thing was about?

[The Mana Knight]

So, is this officially(a.k.a. Konami) confirmed to be what the "A New Metal Gear Is...." thing was about?Yup, it's an iPhone game. Konami announced that, DDR, Silent Hill, and Frogger for iPhone.

[dropbearGSH]

Bummer, really wanted to play MGS4 but im not gonna buy a PS3 to do it.

[CoffeeEdge]

Weaksauce.

So fucking obvious they did it on purpose, too. They knew how much attention they'd get from the copious 360-hinting.

[dmaul1114]

How are they going to fit all those cutscenes on a 360 disc? I'm guessing it'll come in 3, if it does come...

Yeah, of course it would just be on multiple discs if it ever came to the 360.

I still think it will eventually. Though I don't care as I don't like the series much any more--couldn't get into MGS2 and never played MGS3. My patience for stealth gameplay is pretty much gone.

[Malik112099]

Multiple disks on the 360 wouldnt have even mattered anymore with the install option on NXE

[KingBroly]

Multiple disks on the 360 wouldnt have even mattered anymore with the install option on NXE

Then you're getting into arguments about space on the hard drive and install times. Let's not go there, shall we?

[Chase]

All in due time.

[luan87us]

... it's not a xbox360 symbol. That's there ad for the new soda in japan >.> it has nothing to do with next metal gear game or Xbox 360 version of MGS4 nor next MG

[62t]

Multiple disks on the 360 wouldnt have even mattered anymore with the install option on NXE

you are assuming everyone got more than 20gb, plus you still need to swap disc

[Thongsy]

It'll probably come to the 360 eventually. I rather take disc swapping over the install and than install between chapters. That was annoying.

[Malik112099]

you are assuming everyone got more than 20gb, plus you still need to swap disc


60gb is the new standard and once the game is installed you would probably only need to have disk #1 in...so no disk swapping.

[KingBroly]

You're wrong. You need each individual disc to play it, even if it's on the hard drive. Ask Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, etc.

[BackInBlack]

Could they not have you install extra discs like a PC game? A possibility. I know they haven't done it for any multiple disc games yet, just saying.

[Malik112099]

A quick disk swap is still faster than a 4 minute install in between chapters.

[Kaijufan]

Weaksauce.

So fucking obvious they did it on purpose, too. They knew how much attention they'd get from the copious 360-hinting.
Yeah I don't even like the Metal Gear franchise but having the teaser in 360 green was a pretty mean thing to do to people who want it on the 360.
