Kojima Productions' Next Game

[R Nilla]

UPDATE 3.5 Multiplatform Castlevania from Kojima! That's what the mask on the site was! Link courtesy of Queasy.

I guess I should also mention in the OP that Metal Gear Solid: Rising is a Raiden title coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 (and possibly PC?). Also, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is coming to the PSP--a sequel to MGS3.

Konami will also be introducing Metal Gear Arcade, a coin-op version of Metal Gear Online that includes option 3D goggles. Released in Japan this year and other parts of the world eventually.

UPDATE 2 Just under an hour to go, and Kojima announced Metal Gear Solid Rising for the 360 at the E3 MS press conference. Is there more to this countdown than further revealing this game? We'll soon find out.

UPDATE The madness continues with more characters flashing on the screen and now an image of Big Boss.

According to an alleged Famitsu scan, Raiden should be making an appearance as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's an animated version of the same stormy scene that appeared in Famitsu with a date of 2009.05.18.

We've had a thread about what people would like to see next from Kojima, but what do you think the next game will actually be?

I've read some comments theorizing that the storm is a reference to a quote from Snake in MGS4 regarding Raiden and that this will indeed be another MGS game with Raiden at the helm.

Interestingly, there are some Metal Gear keywords for this page:

Hideo Kojima, MGS,METAL GEAR, NEXT, game, konami, kojima game, KJP, Kojima Production

Although that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I guess we'll have to wait until 5/18 to find out. For now, let the speculation begin!

I think it means MGS4 to the 360.

Kidding! or am I? :laugh:

What's the quote?

 

[Kromis]

Two words: Diablo III

I'm pretty sure we all remembered how the reveal went on the Blizzard splash page....

I don't have the exact quote. I think this is part of the conversation:

Old Snake [to Raiden]: You were the lightning in that rain, you can still shine through the darkness.

There was also something about Raiden being born during a terrible storm. I'm trying to find that as well.

has anyone tried to decompose the swf to see if there's anything juicy in it?

Ugh. Definitely doesn't look like it'll end up being Z.O.E. 3.

Now with more tease!

The "S" must stand for Snatcher

I'd buy the original Snatcher with new current-gen HD graphics in a heartbeat. Of course, that would also be a project on scale with SF2HD Remix, so I'm not really holding my breath on that one.

I really hope it's MGS4 for 360 as I only have a 360 but I borrowed my brother's PS3 to play MGS4.

I hate announcements of announcements... but this is an announcement, of an announcement, of an announcement. Stupid ass hype.

Well good news. We're either one or two announcements down. I think. Konami could just be playing with our hearts, and the real announcement won't even be until E3.

First announcement was an announcement would take place on the 18th.
Late last night, the web page displays a timer, so this is an announcement that an announcement will occur at the end of the timer.

Just wait, at the end of the timer, it'll announce something still confusing, with full details to be announced at E3. Frak. I hate this game.

Lost, the video game!

 

[destrekor]

Ooops, looks like I might have been right.
Now reports are stating that after digging through all the flash material on the site, it looks like there are a total of 5 clocks. So we have 4 more clocks to endure. And apparently the last clock is set to end on June 1st, the first day of E3.

Wow, that is absolutely disappointing.

Oh well, whatever. They got what they want.

Most likely, it IS Snatcher. The dates match up.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

that's very anti-climatic.

I dunno. If it is a new Snatcher game, I am intrigued. Never even heard of the original, but looked it up and had an interesting concept/story that could be expanded upon greatly in the current generation. I'm thinking he could get a story/presentation to the same level as ZOE and MGS4 (story may have been crazy, but awesome).

And it is sounding like everything being hinted so far that it is definitely pushing toward it being Snatcher-related.

4 More hours left.

I don't think Kojima is making Diablo III.

[NiKeFiDO]

ohhh 1.5 hours...until another countdown IIRC

 

[NikolaeVarius]

And the site goes down...


And its another countdown. With E3, and 119 hours left to go

konami.jp appears to be down altogether. Interesting.

 

[R Nilla]

5@E3, apparently.

 

[gorcorps]

What a fucking bust. A countdown to another countdown? I'm no longer curious about whatever the fuck this crazy bastard is doing next.
