A teaser image found in a Japanese magazine by GameTrailers forum member "hweita" (http://forums.gametrailers.com/thread/first-tease-of-kojima-s-new-pr/809239) indicates that we'll be hearing more -- ie, something -- about Kojima Productions' next project very soon. As you can see above, the image shows a field below a gathering storm. The URL underneath the date currently doesn't exist, but no doubt it will be up and ready for us to view on Monday, May 18.
This corresponds somewhat -- though not entirely -- with the email that was received by 1Up just yesterday (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/12/rumor-new-kojima-productions-project-sneaking-out-in-three-days/). The email contained the same URL, though the indication was that the reveal was only three days away on May 15. Regardless, it's clear we'll be hearing something within the next week that will explain the image above.

You should post the pics of all the things they deciphered in the clouds. Personally, I see a cartoony old snake and a 360 controller, but I'm pretty sure it will be nothing with NGS.

the website has been updated to flash a 5/S when the lighting strikes. Unfortunately- that doesn't get us anywhere. He has 3 possible directions to take that:
Snatchers
MGS5
Boktai 5
I really want it to be a MGS game- and it really could be based on the meta tags, but i'm trying to prep my brain for the fact that it will be Boktai.
the_punisher
05-18-2009, 01:00 AM
It's probably Project S. It's Hideo Kojima, no way it's as simple as MGS5.
On a happier note, it'll be announced on my birthday. I told the world MGS4 way the ebst game ever made, and i was rewarded.
Take THAT MOM AND DAD!

92 hours left? Thought it was going to be revealed tomorrow. May 18th was just the start of the countdown. Nice.
I pray that it's Project S.
I'm still thinking it will be Tornado Outbreak and that the 5 will stand for F5, the highest classification of tornado.

It's not a date related to MGS (either release dates or story dates) from what I can tell.

Let me take a wild baseless guess...
Project S and Tornado Outbreak are one in the same. It will be the spiritual successor to one of Suda's past games, Michigan: Report from Hell, only instead of playing as a cameraman of a news crew going up against leech monsters, you'll be the cameraman guiding a group of storm chasers who get close to tornadoes and other serious weather conditions. (Project Storm Chaser? Project Suda?)

Cao Cao, Project S is related to Snatcher.

Rule #1: You do not tease a Snatcher revival.
Rule #2: You do NOT tease a Snatcher revival.
Snatcher's in my top 3 favorite games of all time, the soundtrack's on my Winamp playlist, I have the original Sega CD game and a backup of it on a CD-R.. and a backup of the backup, just in case something happens to the backup. It's a fantastic game and a modern day revival or sequel.. shit, even a port to the DS, PSP or even the iPhone would make me need new pants..

How can a background "not really resemble" MGS5 when MGS5 hasn't been announced yet? And I doubt it's something a simple as MGS5. They wouldn't announce MGS5 from some little flash site. I don't think it'll be a huge announcement. I think this is getting blown way out of proportion because it's Kojima.

http://pspupdates.qj.net/New-Metal-Gear-game-to-be-featured-in-Famitsu-PSP-PS3-/pg/49/aid/131543
Too much of a coincidence. On May 30th, Famitsu PSP+PS3 will exclusively reveal a new Metal Gear thing, possibly a game or DLC on either the PSP or PS3.
My guess? Going by what FriskyTanuki said about the new letters, this will either turn out to be DLC for MGO or an Ac!d-esque side-story called something like Metal Gear SEeD.

!!! Look at this: http://wiieveryday.blogspot.com/
Can anyone read this?! It looks like he is explaining the code.
There is another screenshot of cyborg Raiden. This begs the question:
1) Are we talking about a non-canon game? Where a cyborg Raiden and a young BigBoss could co-exist?
2) Are there going to be 2 games? PSP/PS3?
3) Time Travel?
4) Novella Style games? Maybe these will be just short story filler games.
5) Kojima just Shaq-ing with us?
I'd really like to see more Solidus- and I think a Raiden game could provide that with flashbacks.

Big Boss: Represents Metal Gear 1 (Where he was the villain)
Gray Fox: Represents Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (Where he was a traitor)
Granted, while a remake of both games is the most plausible theory, it's also possible that it could be a side-story with missions featuring Gray Fox working for Big Boss during MG1 and MG2.

I'm not a Metal Gear Solid fan, but hasn't every single Solid game had a remake/re-release with more features a year or so after the original came out (which the exception of the Gamecube version of the first game of course)? Couldn't this announcement be for the Metal Gear Solid 4 re-release?

I figured it might be Fox when I first saw the "raiden" picture- but I haven't played through the first 2 games, so I wasn't sure. The key point of confusion was the eye patch
It would make sense.

Yea- i agree that it's probably Gray Fox- the eye matches. But what about the jaw? He clearly has his lower jaw in that picture- where as Raiden is just a head and a spine.
I want more Liquid and Solidus.

Why do companies keep making countdowns, when they so often get spoiled by mag scans?

My guess is that, even if the countdowns get spoiled by mag scans, they get us talking and theorizing about what's to come. Then we can either be pleasantly surprised or horrifically disappointed at the actual announcement/early leaks.
I just want to see a company troll for ideas with a fake countdown. That would be delightful!
[In a Konami Conference Room]
"Wait, these people want MG1 and MG2 remakes? BRILLIANT!"
"And this large demographic wants a game that features Gray Fox between MG1 and MG2..."
"Some people want some more Big Boss badassery."
"OK, people! You've got your ideas for the next four games. Start crackin'!"
"What about Metal Gear Acid 3?"
"...you're fucking fired. The rest of you, get to work!"

Big Boss: Represents Metal Gear 1 (Where he was the villain)
Gray Fox: Represents Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (Where he was a traitor)
Granted, while a remake of both games is the most plausible theory, it's also possible that it could be a side-story with missions featuring Gray Fox working for Big Boss during MG1 and MG2.
I thought about that, but Big Boss seems too young for it to be MG1 and Gray Fox wasn't a cyborg ninja yet in MG2:SS.

I think the new rumor going around is that the game takes place 7 years after MGS4, and that "Big Boss" is another clone.

maybe its not even big boss or solid/liquid/solidus, but ANOTHER brother.
so.. it would explain how raiden and that dude that looks like big boss could co-exist.
instead of TIME TRAVEL to the PAST. its the future and what happens... after MGS4
but my main guess is...
remake of the Metal Gear games since Kojima said Solid was donzo.
if it is... YAY cause i wasnt old enough to play those games...

A new image has been posted, apparently titled "Mask"
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/mask.052809-580px.jpg
If you super-impose that image over Raiden/Gray Fox, you almost have to conclude that the character is indeed Gray Fox.

I don't think its Raiden, due to the eyes. I don't think its grey fox, because imo this ninja is a female. I think this may be Sunny. just because of the eyes.

the whole get-up looks pretty steam-punk compared to MGS4 raiden- maybe it's an older suit. EDIT- eh- i looked again- he looks the same in 4.
Also- it could be Olga I guess. I don't like the Sunny theory- it's depressing.

I went for the first time to the site and saw the Big Boss and Raiden just like in the magazine scans. That mask figure is almost complete, only thing missing are it's eyes. If you look at the Kojima/Grey Fox logo on the bottom of the page, it switches to the woman every now and again.
I clicked on it, entered my birthday, but all I heard was music. Nothing shows up. Just refreshed and saw that blasted mask.
Hopefully it will be more than an announcement and we get gameplay video.

I believe the facial structure of the "woman" is actually that of Raidden. The nose and teeth sort of give it away.

According to this site (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-12218-Providence-Video-Game-Examiner~y2009m5d28-Kojimas-Mask-is-Lords-of-Shadow) it's not an MGS game at all but something called "Lords of Shadow."

So, it is indeed Raiden and it's Metal Gear Solid: Rising coming to the 360 and more than likely, PS3 and PC.

My guess for Rising is it'll fill in all the gaps in Raiden's story. Tutorials will be child army under Solidus, the meat of the game will be post-MGS2 through MGS4

I doubt that.
Microsoft debuted the first details on Metal Gear Solid Rising at their E3 press conference this morning, but there's a reason Microsoft wasn't bragging about this Raiden-starring adventure being an Xbox 360 exclusive -- it isn't.
"You know, we didn't say that it was exclusive," clarified Xbox executive and corporate VP John Schappert (he was the guy hosting most of the event) during an interview with me immediately following the press conference.
"We said that the next Metal Gear will be coming [to Xbox 360]," he said.
"I couldn't be more excited about him [Kojima] working on that [Metal Gear Solid Rising] and having that be part of our show," said Schappert. "When I heard about that, I was pretty ecstatic and it was an honor to be able to be on stage with him and announcing his next Metal Gear, which will be on Xbox 360."
Of course, Schappert wasn't in a position to announce where else Metal Gear Solid Rising would be appearing, but could series creator Hideo Kojima be pleasing everyone by announcing this latest work at one conference, showing it at another? We'll have to wait and find out tomorrow morning at Sony's E3 conference.
And thus, the waiting game continues.

We'll know tomorrow for sure. If it was exclusive, they'd probably would have been bragging more, even though he did say the next games were 360 only, so who knows?

yea it aint exclusive... remember when ff13 was announced last year theyre liek YEAH 360 360 360 360.... and ps3
if its part of the story line which it will be, then it prob wont be 360 only.
thats like having..... halo odst for ps3 only then no one knows the side story that bought the 360.

With Kojima behind it, you have to give it more faith than the other 3D Castlevanias.

Why the fuck should I have faith in Kojima doing a good 3D Castlevania, when even Koji Igarashi can't pull it off? And I mean, these are the dudes that made Clive Barker's Jericho developing it. Ugh.
Besides, one way or another, this will always be a rebrand. They should have left it as it's own thing.
