During Kojima's GDC panel, he informed everyone that there would, in fact, be a new game unveiling at E3. And from the looks of things, he is definitely holding up to his word.

Several press outlets have mentioned receiving a mysterious e-mail from within Konami, including only a message stating "T-3 days" and a link to a dead Kojima Productions webpage

Project S? ZOE3? Next Metal Gear? A New IP? On Friday, we're going to find out! :)

The above teaser has appeared in a magazine. I guess it's time for some wild mass guessing...

Well, considering this was said not so long ago:
1UP wrote:Hideo Kojima divulges the fact that he is directing not just one, but two games concurrently. The title that will be announced first is being made in a style similar to the way his team has worked in the past, while the second will be produced by a restructured Kojima Productions with the overseas market firmly in mind.
The first title to be released will be this "old style" game. Most likely a disaster game, or maybe a horror game?

The second will be revealed at E3. It most likely will be an FPS of some sorts, since he visited many Western game developers, who specialise in First Person Shooters.

As much as I love Kojima games, this constant teasing and jerking around surrounding all of his games, really pisses me off. Why can't they just be straight with us? There is such a thing as too much hype. :roll:

Oh well, atleast the games are good. I just wished they didn't toy with us and cause so much speculation amongst the most ravid fanboys. It can be quite exhausting hearing new theories every day.

actually the way I see it, these days it's more fun to try and figure out what kojima's next game will be like than actually playing any of his games.

Oh my god... everytime I go to neogaf two hours disappears. Those mothers are crazy... though I would like to see the complete flash source code... the frequency of the lightning flashes is driving me crazy and I want to figure out if it's randomly generated of if it's preset...

these are what, 10 or eleven seconds or so.
I captured a bit to get a visual on this april 2007 thing, and its always the same pattern.
and for the source, I haven´t been able to analyze much.
I couldn´t find the link between this new SWF(called frame) and the old one (kumori_15)
Kumori 15 should still be there, providing the clouds background and the wind/thunder
frame only contains all the timescripts, as well as the countdown.
At every completed countdown, frame will load a new SWF, next one is:
loading_eae.swf and key_eae.swf

kumori_15 is not available anymore, I don´t undertand this structure :-(

When I looked on my main computer the clouds were moving pretty fast and the lightning was about 10-12 seconds apart... now at least.

On my xandros eeepc (flash9 if it matters) the clouds move slower and exhibit a strange pattern of flashing lightning somewhere between 20 and 34 seconds apart... every 7-9 minutes the lightning flashed exactly on the :00 second mark during this minute it would flash three times all other minutes it would only flash twice

i recorded every flash from 56:24:31 till 55:59:59 but couldn't pin down a structure or real repeating pattern, that's why I thought it was a randomly generated sequence...

maybe I'm trying to solve a non-existent puzzle. trying to impose order where there is none.

I see an object (the black thing) in the far field moving closer.

Compare this to the current image. I can see what looks like a barrel(?) by the fence now. The same Y-axis as the black thing, only lower X-axis. And I think the pole coming out the fence near it is new.

you´re right
I haven´t even noticed!!
The fence door is open on the pre-countdown picture, now its closed.
The grass is older, so it seems cause the color changed, also there is more fog on the Hill but less fog in the field.
And you´re right about the pole, in the old picture there is something like a Sign on it, now its just a pole.

The countdown's finally over, and the site's getting clusterfucked, so I can't make a connection...
Edit: LOLOLOL ANOTHER COUNTDOWN OHOHOHOWHOAHASD
Except this time, there's a storm 'a brewin'! And now, instead of an "S" or "5", there's an "E".
Edit Edit: I think these cats got it right. http://www.thesnakesoup.org/?section=an ... dex&t=3076
Look for the post by SolidSnarf86 concerning the weather-symbol loading icons. Brace for MGS5, guys.

There is an 3 now as well, most likely standing for E3. In addition, there's a lower case 'e' that flashes...wonder what that could be for?

EDIT: Just saw this at Magic Box:
Japanese 7-11 store revealed that the May 30 issue of Famitsu PSP+PS3 Magazine will feature a new Metal Gear game in development from Kojima Productions. It is safe to assume the game is hitting the PlayStation platform, but it is uncertain whether the game will be for PS3, PSP or both.

so the face/bust in the trees changed, and it looks a lot like Harry Benson to me now. So it went from some guy that looks like Gillian, to a guy that looks like Harry. Maybe it's Hideo messing with us again, but that to me points the game in the 'Project S' direction, but we'll just have to see.

Kojima's playing with our expectations, obviously. As Shid said, brace for MGS5.

So the new countdown ends in May 27.
I was checking wikipedia to see what events happened in that day and I don't see anything relevant. The day probably doesn't mean anything, then.

"S" or "5"
"E"
and "3" have all appeared.

I'm guessing that just means "E""3" will showcase either "S"natcher or MGS"5". Pretty obvious.

Until then.

You forgot the "e".

I feel somewhat screwed, I really had hoped that we finally got to see something of the mystery project and not something else that makes us continue to speculate.

I still hope its either Snatcher related or something completely new, please let Metal Gear die in peace and stop digging it up its corpse again and again.
