Big Boss Makes Presence Felt At Kojima Teaser Site?
That darn countdown has started again and this time, something very specific has been added: a revealing picture.
If you check the teaser site for Hideo Kojima's new project, the countdown is back and after you wait a few seconds, the picture you see here pops up. At first, there was some argument concerning the character's identity, but the common consensus now is that it's Big Boss from the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Now, at last check, we had a "5" accompanied by an "E" and a "3," both of which are fairly telling and even obvious. The addition of a lowercase "e" got people thinking it was actually an "S" for "Snake," which prompted even more discussion. But now that we have this picture, it's difficult to see it as anything else: there must be a new MGS in the works; the only question that remains is what exactly is it, and what are the intended platforms? The good news for PlayStation loyalists is that the upcoming X360 Famitsu issue has no mention of the game, and Kojima has never wanted to put his games on Microsoft platforms. But we'll just have to wait and see. E3 drops next week and hopefully, everything will be all cleared up and we can start anticipating the next big PS3 (or PSP) exclusive!
As if you haven't thought about this enough already, right? But hey, feel free to speculate and discuss to your heart's content. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. ;)

Big boss would whoop any mgs characters ass in less than ten seconds except the boss[took about 3mins & solid snake,who beat him twice.
Solid snake is triple hardcore but he deserves a rest after all the sh!t he was put through last time round,
I like big boss too,he's got a better sense of humor(well he did before he shot you know who)more big boss means more ocealot !! huurray!
A solidus story on how he found raiden would be cool but he did'nt get an eyepatch untill mgs2 and i think it was on the other side of the face from big boss wasn't it?

Metal Gear 5 Raiden PS3 exclusive (That's explains the 5 number on the teaser site).
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops 2 PSP exclusive (That's explains the P letter on the teaser site).
Both to be shown at E3 (That's explains the E3 letters on the teaser site).
Edit : I forgot the R letter, could be Raiden...

Also they could improve gameplay being that they have better hardware such as the cell and blu ray. Don't forget the dual shock 3...that definitely pwns psp button layout.

Kojima insisted on keeping the title on Playstation family, but if he's announced that he won't be involved in the next title, then it's a question if his teammates can resist those large checks from MS.

And few of the people on the Japanese forums are saying that the "elderly man" might be Solidus Snake.
Also there was another photo that looked like it was Raiden, and it might be because he had some rivalries with Solidus in MGS2...or some of the people speculate it might be The Grey Fox. I'm not sure but i hope it's something to do with either of them. It would be pretty cool to play as all 3 of them.
Sorry for the long post :P

For all you Xbots roaming around, I don't want to hear your gibberish! Examples:
Question: But why don't you want more people to enjoy it?
Answer: NO! Most multiplatform games tend to be crap anyways with the 360 always holding back the PS3. You should be content with all the exclusives Microsoft secures and steals, not every game needs to be multiplaftform.
Fact: Xbots are just bitter because they spend $400 on a 360 and couldn't wait a year for the PS3. This is called buyer's remorse
In conclusion, if you want to play Metal Gear Solid, go buy a PS3!

For those who haven't been there as of late, there's more lightening & thunder now, with heavy rain, and much more lettering codes, along with BB's face showing up here & there
Here's the sets of codes I wrote down
while watching the site
3PR
(then BB's face 2 times)
ReP3SE
(BB's face 2 times)
P5e
(BB's face again, twice)
3eR
(face again twice)
5e3PER
9BB's face once)
3ReE5P
(BB's face-once)
5R
(BB's face-once).
It seems like the codes are in a radom order, but I really doubt it's, especially with the way Kojima's mind works)....
PS. After this much I got tired of watching the site, left it & came over here.

A story concerning Solidus and Raiden would be awesome, and if you think about it they have a good story plot concerning the child soldier stuff which I strongly believe might play a role in the next installment.
So here's to hoping I'm kinda close to about at least 10% right. XP

Yeah, the code seems to be in random order & doesn't repeat itself in any sequence(see my code in another post above), but I think that letter's themselve aren't random in their meaning somehow & that Hojima's scrambling the groups of letters & their sequences around.
I took last week's code "5-E-3 to mean
MS#5 at E3

Given the timeframe (in development), and Kojima's love for West (not a great thing, imo), I'm guessing it will be 2 games:
1. MGS4 DLC for the PS3 (hopefully with a Trophy patch)
2. A new game that is multiplatform (probably a Metal Gear spin-off, so they can create a new series that is multiplat from day one)

Does anybody else see the odd things going down the side of the screen? The only way I can think to descibe it is like letters (or other) in stealth camo from MGS1. Now this may be just me viewing it on a dodgy internet connection.
They are moving pretty fast too - too fast for me to react to screenshot them but one that I got a half look at looked like the ! from above soldiers heads.
Anyone else seen this?

Kind of reminded me of two different shaped "tetris" blocks(1 thin flat block on top of 1 fat elongated rectangular block) that dropped into place, but then they just disappeared altogether after that.

Any Metal Gear game is good as far as I am concerned. Snake is gone as much as I don't want to say it so it could be someone new. I can't see them re-using Snake once Kojima has said he is gone from it.
It could also be a remake for PSP like another Portable Ops game.
I am hoping for MG 5 so fingers crossed :)

Also another thought - could the lightning/storm clouds be morse code? The lightning strikes being dots and the clouds being dashes?
Just some thoughts! =D

like zanzibar, grey fox...where it all started...and maybe that isnt big boss...after all snake and him where cloned what if thats the orginal snake...and its basicly remaking the orginal...
another thing i can say is the story is kinda mixed its suppose to be MGS3 - MGS1 - MGS2 - MGS4...so after mgs3 if anyone remembers big boss vanished we played as snake then...so maybe mgs5 is the finish of the big boss story??
and nick42...goodjob on the pic...idk if yall can go back or remember mgs3 but thats the same screens from the philosophers legacy...

if you remember it correctly then snake and liquid are the makings of big boss which then leads to the mgs story which leads to MGS2 which leads to mgs4...
i said the wrong thing, but big boss is snakes father...i didnt mean clone i meant son in the attempt of a clone
and after MGS3 we remember seeing Naked Snake saluting to the grave of the women he killed which was named big boss and since you kill her then there is a new man in town that is as good as her so your then named Big Boss...
COME ON PPL am i the only one who watches the vids??
so technicaly MGS - 2 - 4 is the ending of Snake
MGS3 is the beginning of Big Boss...as we dont know what happened after he left the story...but Big Boss and the ending of MGS4 the guy in the wheelchair (Major Zero) we dont know there story

Solid news! Simply Solid, even if there is no confirmed idea of what we are looking at.
If there is anything I have learned from following Kojima is that all speculations could be dirt wrong and we end up with a fighting game of some sort. The man is a genius! Screw all those other stars I would probably faint if I met Kojima. Yes, I am a loser.

However since the 3 is already up there it could be unrelated and the 0 could infact be a o. But what about the 6? It's certainly interesting

Notice that there's as many as 6 letters that have added to some of the code now. And here's something else to ponder too: The S could be either the letter S or the number 5, and the small e could be the an e or maybe it could be his abbreviation for the @ computer sign too.
Also those couple of tetris type blocks that were coming down occassionally seem to had stopped now.
