Metal Gear E3 Countdown Gets A Little Bossy

Curses, Kojima! Curses!

Bring on gray fox - boss story - im down with that

YAY! Another Metal Gear! 

It's been too long...

It strikes me as being so soon to be another number Metal Gear, but I'm curious to see what this is.

Also, what happened to "This is my last MGS game" talk from Kojima? I guess that same thing that happened every other time. So much for closure.

Well, that can't be Gray Fox, as the armour looks exactly like Raiden's, especially with the jaw-thingy.

Sadly, I'm a sucker for any and all things Metal Gear. Why am I so excited for this?

Whit MGS3 being my favorite im hoping for more of that. Though a Raiden of War game would be sweet. Maby its MGS3-2(or simply MGS5) for the PS3 and MGS4+oxid(like the rumor) staring Raiden in a GOW(GOD not GEARS) style game set in the MGS4 time for the 360. My mind would be blown the fuck up if that would happen. Two new MGSs for 360 and PS3(one each, both exclusives) wold be sweet. Good thing i have both consols :P

Metal...Gear...?!?!?!?

Im not interested, I only have room in my heart for one fox and thats mysterious fox!

Oh and plus I dont really like Metal Gear since ive never really been into the stealth type games, if this is a Raiden/God of War type game ill probably give it a look.

It does not look like Big Boss- facial structure is a bit different.

God I want a mullet

Well I just wished it could be for 360 but I'm sure it won't be

Also, if 360 does indeed announce that they're going to be releasing MGS4 later this year, I can't wait to see the snide remarks for Sony PR afterwards. "Oh that's cute, MGS4. I remember that game. Now excuse me while I go play this new hotness."

@atejas - IF it lookls like Solid Snake then it looks like Big Boss, since Solid is a clone of BB. Also the eye patch kinda give it away. Its big boss. It cant be anyone else. Also the PS3 big boss would obviously look different form the MGS3 PS2 big boss. If it wouldn't then that would be pretty damn weird and every graphics designer and programer should be fired from the project.

Apparently Kojima said it's 'not exactly' Big Boss and there's a 'difference'.

I have a feeling that Kojima is hyping this up a bit disproportionately. I wouldn't be surprised that it ended up being a PSP game and was made to look like it was a huge MGS console announcement.

Remember, one of Kojima's main themes for the MGS series is information control. He exemplified that beautifully in the time leading up to and the release of MGS2 when no one knew about Raiden untill they saw it for themselvs.

Who knows? It is Kojima we're talking about here. Anything is possible, really.

I feel asleep.

I must be dreaming.

Touche' Kojima, touche'. Godfather Part II style game confirmed.

Up Top!

First of all the way that Kojima is handling this is stupid and ridiculous. Releasing a timed teaser site is stupid enough, why drag it out this long? It only good for frustrating fans. Second, Metal Gear? Again? Really? Come On! Kojima is a brilliant man with a creative mind far beyond many designer out there. Please put it to use on something that is not MG related. His other projects have been wonderful ( ZOE anyone? ).

If it says Metal Gear on it I'll buy it, regardless of its quality.  That's the magnitude of fool that I am.

Supposed Big Boss looks so bad ass

Kojima sure does love their teasers.

Raiden and Big Boss, one game for the PS3 another for the PSP?

Why isn't anyone talking about the MULTIPLE characters that flash up on the screen during the llightning flashes.  It's not just a 5.  The order is random meaning to me that it's a scrambled word or code.  

What the hel are you people talking about. 

This is clearly a sports game, staring contests.

You have contests against your fav MGS characters is only the first part.  This will be bigger than Super Smash Brothers game.  More franchises, and the characters talk to you and try to put you off.  and the secret character you get to unlock is Hideo himself!  In a level where he laughs manically at the screen for 2 hours as the credits roll.

It uses feedback from the camera he will put out with it, Hideo Vision.

Theres also secrets for putting 2 TV's beside eachother... where in different conbimations, the characters will communicate through the camera's that have a mic in them.  They will recreast many great MGS codec conversations if you play the sound near it.  Thus you need 3 consoles.  Sony's unit shifting worries over.

Come on people.  It's obvious.

Anyone able to translate? NEED ANSWERS.

Also, I thought Kojima said no more games about Solid Snake...not no more MGS games.

Zanzibar Land!

Although I'd be open to many different options at this point, I think it'd be really great if they re-made Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.(The original games for the MSX.) 

I think it would be good for Sony if MGS4 is ported to the xbox360, It could create more fan of the series and maybe some of them will buy a PS3 if the new MGS is on ps3 first.

There will never be sane, contained speculation for a Metal Gear game. This just is one example.

Here's the picture of Big Boss with the countdown timer removed:

curse you hideo curse you all the way to hell
but this is a leason i learned a wile ago
you should never trust hideo untill the deal is done

i really wouldnt be suprised if this was a handheld release....a new metal gear (of sorts) for the new PSP, wich is cool... i guess.

hope its not just the 360 port, hope its at least 1 new game, dont care which system.

I was really really hoping that it was gonna be another game about Big Boss, but that "P" has me kinda worried it's going to be another "Portable" for the PSP. I loved the idea of the games, but trying to control the characters in those games gave me a headache. Here's hopin it's a PS3 release.

After reading through a Japanese BBS I found an interesting point.

If the next game was to be a Metal Gear Solid game and was following the same pattern of telling the timeline. It would be a prequel before MGS3.

In timeline: 5 --> 3 --> 1 <-- 2 <--4
In order of release: 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4 --> 5 (Origin, Future, Past, Future, Past)


I personally don't think it's Metal Gear Solid 5, but it was an interesting read.

C'mooooooon Raiden game. C'moooooooon Raiden game. I'd love to see how he went all badass cyber ninja AND rescued Sunny.

A buddy of mine had an idea, MGS5 is split up into two parts. One part is a futuristic Ninja Gaiden-esque Raiden game and the other is an MGS4 style game set in the 1980s featuring Big Boss.

Something occur's to me and probably many other's... After examining the picture for a few seconds it becomes apparent that snake is young(er) in this teaser. In MGS4 his rapid aging made him look and behave increasingly old. which definitely confirms this game is going to go back into MGS's past some.

I'm slightly frustrated with konami pro' for not releasing MGS4 on the X360 yet (YET being the word in question.) but I am happy they are releasing a new game, even if I never get a taste of it, something to raise the bar for their next release ever higher(they allways deliver) hopefully I will have the PS3 and/or PS4 by then. ;-)
