Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Brad Shoemaker on Dec. 5, 2008
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
Speculation is rampant, of course. What do we have so far?
- Shacknews, where I first saw this, highlights the use of the glowing green color and that third symbol--which is nearly identical to the one on the Xbox 360's power button--to connect the dots to some sort of new 360 Metal Gear release. Whether that's the Xbox MGS4 port rumored ad nauseam or a whole new game isn't for me to say. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of interesting new XBLA Metal Gear release.
- That "i" at the beginning of the equation is obviously significant. Could relate to the iPhone. Could refer to the Nintendo DSi. It also looks like the font used in the Wii logo. Those possibilities conflict with the obvious Xbox-related imagery though, in my mind. Maybe it relates to Metal Gear Acid in some way? The logo for that game is usually written as AC!D.
- Could any of this relate to Metal Gear Solid Existence, the trademark Konami registered in both the U.S. and Japan some time ago?
- Jeff points out the acronym "MGST" appears in the URL for this teaser site. Could that be telling? It might be the abbreviated title of the new game. (Metal Gear Solid Transience: Solid Snake is on hard times, takes up residence in that cardboard box.) Then again, it might simply stand for "Metal Gear Solid teaser."
What do you think is up with this "next Metal Gear?" Post your analysis in the comments, or send us your ideas, and I'll post some of the best ones if we get enough.

The power button design is universal, not specific to the 360. Nonetheless, I still hope dearly this is an MGS4 360 port.

I definitely needs me some more MGS... and another AC!D game wouldn't be too bad, especially if it was on the DS with touch screen controls.
well i actually hope it isnt a 360 port...ok nah im teasing...barely!
theres an exclamation in the power symbol! ooooh

They wouldn't have designed that teaser like that unless it was related to Microsoft. Do you think that they really want to answer any more "MGS4 360 port" rumors? Designing that third symbol like the 360's power button will obviously reignite those rumors, and Kojima Productions would not bring it up again unless there actually was a Microsoft-related project.
Well, first off, I noticed the grammatical error in the message. It should say "The next Metal Gear is...", not "A next Metal Gear is...". Maybe that's on purpose. Maybe it's just bad translating.
To me, this looks to me like Metal Gear Solid 4: Existence, a Xbox 360 port of MGS 4 with extra stuff packed in.

The i relates to Solid Snake and the ! relates to Solid snake upside down. Conclusion: a first-person break dancing game on Xbox360.
I have no clue, but it looks like it's 360 related. I'm rooting for both a MGS4 port and a MGS5 announcement.
I kinda hope this ISNT a 360 port, not for pro sony fanboy reasons - but becasue
A NEXT METAL GEAR IS.....
A) The internet would explode over how awesome the 360 is
B) A Lot of people who have so far hated this 'interactive movie' would be forced to eat their hats
C) I can do without giving fanboy trolls more ammunition to fire at me for owning a ps3 "HAHAHAHA WE GOTZ YOU GAME PWNT!!!" thank you very much
I would like to point out a couple of things
1) Maybe this is a new metal gear story - no mention of a snake or solid snake in particular anywhere -this is what im hoping for
2) The phrase Doesnt make sense, im thinking
A NEXT METAL GEAR IS.....
Maybe an anagram of some kind?? i mean come on- translation can be dodgy but that sentance is so incorrect it hurts?
Looks like it all points towards a 360 release to me.
Hope its the original on XBLA!!
Hope its the original on XBLA!!
Why does everyone automatically assume XB360? someone else already pointed out that the power sign is universal, its on my ps3. I guess its the green color..i still think that this is a red herring.(flashbacks to the Clue movie...)
Looks interesting, cant wait to find out! MGS 4 on 360 is not beyond possibility.
