The countdown continues - 120 more hours of waiting for Kojima's new game |
Ó
Every minute or so, lightning will flash on the page, leaving different characters in a repeating cycle. The characters are, in the order that I caught them: e, S (or 5), E, and 3. While I don't quite get what the first two are, the last two spell out the biggest surprise that no gamer saw coming - E3. I was totally blown away. Really.
Kojima Productions apparently took the long way around, tossing us around instead of just going for the usual announcement for an announcement format and telling us to look out for E3. Though the very, very, likely direction that this is going is in E3, who knows? It might be the name of Kojima's new game or something. Heck there's a game called QJ, so who knows?

I called it! Guess we will have to keep waiting. Sad thing is that I had my celebration hat on, with party blowers and stuff, just like new years; waiting for the timer to count down and hit 0:00:00 hour Oh oh well..... :( Guess E3 will be the day.
I was on the site sor like 2/3 monutes and i got e, s/5, 9, e
I got a backwards 9 also
Knowing Kojima he is weird with puzzles, and this can only be solved with weird logic. Zone of the Enders 3 for 2009??? Ok, what if we just regard the last letter (digit) of each except of (since its a non-important preposition). zon"E" th"e" ender"S" "3" 200"9"
maybe the backwards 9 also say the other letters are backward, then the "S" is a "Z", the "E" a "3", the "3" a "E", then: "Z"one of the "E"nders "3" "9" obviously meaning it's coming this year
if its a new metal gear i hope the release is some time next year. maybe 4th quarter 2010. i love the entire metal gear and metal gear solid series. but with the release of mgs4 this seems like a bit of a rush to put out a new metal gear. but of course if hideo would be directing it then it would be perfect no matter what

The 'e' or backward '9' may be a Kanji 'Mi', the meaning of which is 'Snake.'
OK, so I just looked at the HTML code for the page and came across this: meta name="keywords" content="Hideo Kojima, MGS,METAL GEAR, NEXT, game, konami, kojima game, KJP, Kojima Production" Read into that what you will. IMO it's probably Kojima being Kojima and trying to throw us off the scent, since he must've known that people would be looking at the source. Here's hoping I get proven wrong though. I think that w0rmh01e's comment makes sense too: An announcement at E3, about Mi (Snake) and 5 (MGS5). I'll just be leaving to go back to the teaser site now :P

Z E 3 9 Z E3 9 see E3 - 2009 hmm :P pretty obvious though, so all wrong i'm sure :P
The flash image on the teaser site and the little image of Raiden on Kojima's presentation a while back made me think about the conversation Snake and Raiden have in MGS4. "It was never going to work for me. It even rained on the day I was born." -Raiden, MGS4 "You've got it all wrong. You were the lightning in that rain." -Snake, MGS4 I have a theory it's another prequel, one that covers the origin of Raiden and his tour as a child soldier in Liberia under Solidus.
I agree, although it's more commonly used as a Chinese Zodiac symbol. You don't see it used as Japanese too often, they usually use a different Kanji for "snake".
Oh and here's the link to anyone that wants to see it: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%B7%B3
after watching it all the way through the first letter i was was E. if you turn that backwards its a 3. so maybe at E3 whatever this is will be announced.
i want that game!
A lot of people think that. But if you didn't already know, it wasn't a small pic of Raiden at that presentation it was an april fools joke. The person was actually the colonel. A prequel with Raiden playable would be great. I'm not too big on prequels myself but I would not mind playing a game starring him. But I'm always more in the favor games that advance in story line rather than expand.
A friend of mine at work said that the 'small e' that people have been puzzling over looked like an @ to him, so in order, it would say - "5@E3" Seems pretty obvious, eh?
...as well as a "P" every now and then...
