The madness around the mysterious Kojima project countdown is continuing with the previous countdown being merely a countdown for another countdown. Rapid internet fanboys are ablaze with the latest update to the site being either a 5 or an S and off course the popular and somewhat blind decision among many is that it’s a 5 and that means “OMG MGS5 is coming soon!” It’s also a bit presumptuous to assume the S could also stand for Solid Snake as it could also be for this:
But at this point who the hell knows. It’s most likely an S as that style of font has been used in old Metal Gear promotions. It would be somewhat odd for a new Metal Gear game let alone MGS5 be announced the year after MGS4 is released but if the game follows the standard 3 year release schedule I guess announcing a project now for a 2011 release is reasonable. Though I’m still a bit wary if this announcement is for MGS5 as it almost seems too blatant and obvious compared to the other teaser campaigns that were used to announce the previous MGS games. But perhaps Kojima just wants us to second guess ourselves or have high expectations for something that we may not get.
So the new teaser image is either a S or a 5.
Now while everyone is eagerly awaiting the next countdown they should just be aware that there will be a total of 5 countdowns (OMG does is that another hint towards MGS5! :{), with the last countdown being either the day of the Microsoft E3 conference or the day before. This uncertainty towards the time situation is slightly because we don’t know if it’s by Japanese or American time. So we could be getting hyped up for something that is merely a “See You at E3” tease or we’re going to be in for a bunch of fan meltdowns if Kojima’s next project is announced as a 360 exclusive.
Below is what you get when you do some analyzing of the KojiPro countdown site:
But in the end who knows what the hell this is all for. It could be for the next MGS game but when you have things like the image below pop-up it really shows that none of us have a firm or definite ideal on what any of this could mean.
And let’s not forget there were people that got hyped up for the image below as a sign of MGS on the 360 but what we got instead was an iPhone game.
Never forget to not get too excited at potential news.
I don't really care if it's an exclusive or not. Why would it matter if 360 can play it to? I kinda hope its nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid though. While 4 was beautiful and wrapped up some story elements I found it over all to be Meh. I expected to play through that game multiple times and had no desire to play it a second time. I want new Kojima IP!
The reason i want this to be an exclusive is because kojima doesnt have a market on the 360. when he released MGS2 (or 3 i forgot) on the 360, it sold horribly, so if this is some new IP or something sure make it multiplatform, but if its Metal Gear, kojima wont have a market on the 360.
Well, I wouldn't have bought any of the old MGS's for any platform. They had already been out for so many years they were old news. I think a lot of 360 owners would love MGS4 and buy it up like crack LOL. Though I'm positive MGS will never port. The file size would be redonkulous. They would have to do DLC episodes like SIREN, or in a bundle of DVDs. Just so unlikely it will happen.
But this time I want new IP. Come on neeeew IP! I loved the MGS series as a whole but I think it's time to move onto something else. Bring it back later perhaps. I could care less if it's sold on every console and an iPhone app LOL. Just make it interesting ahha.
LOL Gotta love Kojima. I too hope that this isn't MGS5. 4 was amazing and that should be the end of it.
If anyone would have wanted to play MGS4, he would of bought a ps3 already.
There's about 17.5 million xbox 360 in U.S. households and you are going to tell me that there's no market for a Metal game on the 360!? Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance was released on Xbox 7 years ago and it had minor success.
Kojima sure knows how to start the mind rolling, because these ads are very convoluted. The possibilities are endless. Nevertheless, I am excited as to what the new game, or news, or whatever could turn out to be. Just a couple more months...
While another Metal Gear would be great for me, it does not have to be in the future of MGS4. It can be a next-gen remake of Metal Gear or Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, going to back to Outer Heaven and the Zanzibar Incident. Or even a second remake of Metal Gear Solid, the Gamecube one wasn't a big deal.
Well my whole point is that sure it will sell on the 360, but it wont sell even close to the PS3, personally i dont give a fuck about sales and shit like that, but i bet Kojima wants to make money, and releasing it on the 360 wont give him much...
Im going with the obvious and say MGS5.I cant get enough of MGS!!
man ive only played mgs4(watched the other 3) and it had an awsome ending...but damnet i just started i want more mgs!!!...btw i think its mgs5 bc i read alot of articles 1 with a former kojima employee comfirming htered be an mgs5 another where kojima is thinking of mgs5 b4 mgs4 realease and another one saying hes leaving mgs5 to his staff he might just point them in the right direction from time to time...so fingers crossed for mgs5
Im not trying to sound fanboyish but i really hope its a PS3 exclusive.
