Rumor: New Metal Gear Game?

kojimaAh, Hideo Kojima. You’re a little rascal. You like to make crazy cut scenes, pretentious dialogue, awesome action and things that tease your loyal followers. Take this new announcement Web site from Hideo Kojima, for instance. It appeared sometime last week and has a mysterious countdown, a field, some lightning, and what appears to be the number “5” (or the letter S) splashed across it.

However, it seems some Metal Gear Solid fans have done some digging around, and the source code for the site shows that the timer runs out on June 1, the day of the Microsoft E3 press event (Sony’s is on June 2). A Microsoft Metal Gear game, perchance? Also, looking at the meta keywords reveals the words “next” “metal gear” and “mgs”, though nothing that says “mgs5”.

So, what does this all mean? While Metal Gear Solid 4 was the last entry into the Solid Snake story, I wouldn’t put it past Kojima to keep the series going, only with a new and rebooted storyline with some different characters. What do you guys think?

  3. MGS5 is too easy – it’s what they want us to think. Remember the last time they announced a “next metal gear”? I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer not to. It could be anything from a 360 port of MGS4 (twelve disk collector’s edition) to a completely new stealth action title. Honestly, though, I don’t really care – I guess I’ve just never been one for the MGS games.

    I think that MGS4 is actually 8 360 disks worth 😛 lol. I dunno what this means but as long as it isn’t a 360 exclusive MGS thingy I don’t care.

  6. Snake makes the Metal Gear games, in my opinion. The pretentious dialogue is a lot easier to take if it’s delivered by a over-the-top gruff military voice. Bless you, Mr. Hater.

    I’d love a 360 MGS port, as I thought the multiplayer was pretty fun, even if you did have to jump through a few frustrating digital hoops to do it.

    ZING!

  8. Actually, a whole metric crapload of the data on MGS4 is uncompressed, so i’m pretty sure it could fit on fewer than eight discs.

  10. It may be coincidence… But I stopped my Music Player to hear the audio, and after exiting, reopened and hit play… The shuffle actualy jumped to the MGS 1 Soundtrack … A song called “The Best Is Yet To Come”…

    I shit you not…

    (p.s. I still havent played the 3rd or 4th besides brief glimpses)
