Big Boss, Raiden appear as Kojima/Konami teaser resets.

The teaser web site that i reported about last saturday, have been updated. This teaser website is about a mysterious "Kojima Productions Next" project. Many speculation and rumor about this "Next". Any doubt that the mysterious "Kojima Productions Next" project was not part of the Metal Gear Solid canon were erased, when a character from the long-running series appeared on the game's--or games' teaser website.

As part of a countdown teaser--which has now been reset for a third time to end on Sunday, May 31--the site is now flashing a shot of Big Boss, series hero Solid Snake's erstwhile commanding officer and often-nemesis. The characters' semi-youthful age points to a period after Metal Gear Solid 3's Vietnam-era setting and before that of the original Metal Gear.



Several scans of Famitsu magazine show the site will eventually also show another member of the MGS canon, Raiden. Alongside the teaser site's pic of Big Boss, the Raiden image shows the character in futuristic armor--and with one eye patched over--indicating it is from a game set after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4.

The two shots has led to speculation that two separate games may be announced by Kojima Productions and Konami. So far, one title has been all but confirmed for a PlayStation branded platform, while a Metal Gear Solid 4 port is rumored to be coming to the Xbox 360.

More will be revealed at this coming E3. Check back to by blog for the latest developments from the Kojima Productions teaser.

The New Metal Gear Game?

Kojima Production the maker of Metal Gear game series, and Konami release a teaser website hinted the next game they are making. It's maybe the next Metal Gear game. The fact that series creator Hideo Kojima himself hinted at a "Next MGS" in the final slide of his 2009 Game Developers Conference Presentation. The teaser site revealed a countdown clock ending at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26--the day after the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the US.



Given that the teaser site bore the fox logo of Kojima Productions and what looked like the number "5," speculation that a Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement was imminent went through the roof. The site teasing the letter "E" and the number "3" after lightning strikes, raising suspicions that Konami will make an announcement at the June 2-4 Electronic Entertainment Expo. On Thursday, the publisher announced that its own E3 press conference will be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday June 3. The site is also flashing the letter "S" and the number "5," sustaining speculation of an MGS5 reveal, as well as the number "9" and a lowercase "e"--which could also be the Japanese character for "snake"



There's also a rumor that they are porting the top rated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriot to Xbox 360 console. The title are rumor to be Metal Gear Solid 4 + Oxide. Whatever it is, we have to wait until they reveal it at E3 this coming June.
