Kojima website updated with Raiden image?

Update: But is it a fake?
Hideo Kojima is nothing but a dirty tease. And we love it.

Fake or real?
Update: This Twitter pic has just come to our attention (thanks chriskernagham) and we've had a look at the countdown but can find no image of said Raiden. He either popped up for a limited time only or someone's been playing with Photoshop. Update out.

Original story:As reported last week the man famous for the Metal Gear series is teasing his new project with a website and countdown. That same website has now been updated with the number '5' or could it be an 'S'?

All the site has done so far is prompt more rumour and speculation than any PR department can deal with. Is it a new Metal Gear? A spin-off or something completely different. Either way, there's not too long to wait before we find out.

If you can't wait any longer though, go and have a read of PSM3's latest blog, which begins, "We might retract this hastily on Monday - though we doubt it - but Kojima's new game is... a Metal Gear title (possibly MGS5, or a new subtitle), starring Raiden. Hideo Kojima will, more than likely, announce another new game at E3 (we're not giving you any more clues than that) but our sources suggest it'll surprise and delight fans."

Was it only me to think that this was inevitable? Kojima is Metal Gear, and for him to leave and watch somebody else make a gear game will kill him.SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Posted by Darkwaknight
the date could be a key 22/02/1988 was this not when the the first Metal Gear was released in the states.. could this be a remake of the original Metal Gear game from the MXS2??? MG5 with Raiden just seems to obvious for kojima.. the other game I would be is Zone of Enders 3!!
Posted by Miss_Wacy
would be wicked if its true, bugt i want my mgs 4 trophys for now haha
Posted by silversun_111
Who gives a damm about trophies when we could have a metal gear solid 5!!
Posted by silversun_111
Darkwaknight the numbers are a clock that is counting down to the time the info is revealed.
Posted by nottsville
Maybe nothing, but the countdown ends on the day of the MS press conference at E3.
Posted by svd_grasshopper
people with a ps3.
Posted by MilitaryRaiden
Well, E3 and Kojima's countdown are not far away so we'll just wait and see.

Hope they make a new and much better mgs title.
But most of all I'd love it if konami would give a multiplayer addition to whatever the title will be that's a lot less of a hassle than today's Metal Gear Online...
Posted by lonewolf2002
To me that looks more like an S than a 5 but as my PC blew up at the weekend I am viewing on a crappy laptop.

Is there not a game called Storm or has Storm in the title due soon?
Posted by svd_grasshopper
raiden is a shit character for MGS. too ninja like.
Posted by romeolovesyou
not sure why this is Playstation 3 news tbh. The final announcement is coming on June 1st, at the same time as the Microsoft E3 conference. One of two announcements specific to 360. The latter akin to the FF announcement of last year except this time its wholly exclusive. ;op And yes Raiden is going to be a keyword here. Think back to April 1st 2007 ;o) Kojima took you all for fools
Posted by WHERESMYMONKEY
i thought metal gear solid 3 was a remake of the original. or was it snakes revenge.

hmmmmm. MGS 5 exclusive to the 360. that'd piss a lot of people off. wouldn't it. However highly unlikely.
Posted by Vyvrtka
WTF? Can you name any other character that's better at SNEAKING and STEALTH KILLS than a friggin NINJA?! O_o
>_>
Srsly. <_<
Posted by Vyvrtka
MGS 3 wasn't a remake, but the very first part in MGS games
Metal Gear Solid 3>Metal Gear>Metal Gear 2>Metal Gear Solid>Metal Gear Solid 2>Metal Gear Solid 4
Posted by bevoboro
Why would Kojima/Konami alienate almost the entire Metal Gear Solid fanbase by Making MGS5 an XBox exclusive? Most 360 owners I know are not (or say they are not) at all interested in the games.
Posted by Velocitar
Metal Gear Solid 4: Special Edition.

The kicker is that not only is the special edition coming out on the Xbox360...

It's an Xbox360 exclusive.
Posted by svd_grasshopper
TOO ninja like i said.

like being able to jump the height of a building.

i like to play on an even playing field. old coughing spluttering snake cant even jump. raiden is cheap.
Posted by Mark240473
Whilst I would be happy to see the 360 get a version of MGS4/5, I wouldn't jump to conclusions because of the date. It could just be the date of a Konami/Kojima speech and merely be a coincidence.

Who knows?

Only a few more weeks to E3!
Posted by svd_grasshopper
special edition. like the special yellow bus.

i.e. gimped.
Posted by DevilsNeverCry
Lol. And wouldn't all the xbots rejoice?

Xbots: "meh, don't even like MGS anyway, It got poo at number 2"

*News of MGS 4 on 360*

Xbots: OMFG ROFLOLZ TEH PS3 is Fa1L! We are X-ellent with MGS 4!

Xbots will never learn.

What's your point? He's a ninja. He can jump over a building, perform ninja vanish, dance the deadly dance with his sword and kill you just by staring directly into your eyes. From behind.

NINJA! TOO NINJA LIKE? How can a ninja be too ninja like? All he needs is a black outfit and he's set.
OH MY GOD he's a CYBORG NINJA! That's like whole new level of awesome.
Metal Gear Raiden: The Swords of Ninjas bring it on!

too ninja like for the game.

whats the point in a racing game if your car can travel 10 times faster than anything on the track?

cheap and cheesy.

and anyway, forget it. unless they are going to make the next game INFERIOR to MGS4, 360 cant have it. unless its just the 360 version thats gimped.
Posted by Little Moth
Well, if it is MGS5, I hope it's multiplatform.
Posted by JuiKuen
More like Konami can only make money from MGS and PES games and hardly nothing else. That Rock 'Revolution' has been getting panned so its not gonna help them in any way...

That is, if this is an MGS game
Posted by bevoboro
I would say this is definitely an MGS game. Snake was in the original poster.
Posted by almanac2015
Kojima said a while back that he wouldn't remake the Metal Gear Games. However, if a company approached him to do it, he'd let them. (Such as what happened with Twin Snakes). I'd love it too, it would complete the wstory for me as I can't play through the Metal Gear games...

And as for people getting excited about trophies...why!?! They're trophies. I'd love a new game, I'd love DLC. But to think all this is about trhopies, or get excited by them?

Metal Gear Raiden would be good. Either DLC or a full game, doesn't bother me which.
Posted by svd_grasshopper
you'd be complaining if the new MGS never had trophies ya mug.

and this isnt all about trophies, **** you talking about?! its MGS5.
Posted by Vyvrtka
Hahaha yea, sure, they'd make a gimped version just so that you wouldn't have to be jealous :lol:

If it's gonna be MGS5 (MG Raiden or w/e), then I'd guess it's going to be multiplatform, definitely not a 360 exclusive, that wouldn't make any sense since all the hardcore MGS fans are PS3 users.
And I don't give a damn about it being multiplatform, I'd get it on the PS3 anyway since I like it a lot more than xbox.

Now, if it's gonna be Substence/Subsistence/Lolstance/whatever version of MGS4, then it might be a 360 exclusive (but I doubt that, more like a multiplatfrom like MGS2) but I really don't think MGS4 will make it to X360 in any form, MGS5 probably will.

And guess what! Like with any other multiplat game, both versions are gonna be basically the same. HA! :lol:
Posted by silversun_111
Kojima-yes
Mgs5-yes
Raiden-Yes
Old Snake-yes
Mgs4 Trophies-who cares get a grip
svd_grasshopper-**** you
Posted by spud-o
i got a semi
Posted by svd_grasshopper
the 360 doesnt have the capacity to hold MGS4.

so what chance does it have for MGS5?!


it would have to be a step back in terms of quality. which wouldnt please anybody.

****ing that little shite box holds everyone back.
Posted by metallicorphan
fixed that for you-(metallicorphan puts on a smug face that you want to punch)

i love all the MGS games,but i dont want a 5th,i thought number 4 ended well and tied up a lot of loose ends

but yes,i would rather play these games on the 360(that's just me)..so i would love to see MGS4:substance whatever for both PS3 and 360

and i would love to see remakes of the MSX/NES games


MGS4 came out a year ago on the 18th June(just saying)


@ romeolovesyou :E3 runs from June 2nd to June 4th..so i don't know where you got June 1st for the Microsoft presentation

@Grasshopper even MGS4 was too much for PS3 as you had to install each act,apparently i have heard that that MGS4 was the same amount of infomation as Lost Odyssey...i wouldnt mind 4 discs for a 360 version

i take 10 second swapping discs over 10 minute installs any day
Posted by almanac2015
:lol:
Cudn't give a shit

You know, I've played MGS4 around half a dozen times, and not once have I felt the need to whine about lack of trophies. Would they be easy to put in? Yes, probably. But my enjoyment of the game certainly wouldn't go up if it had trophies, so couldn't give a shit.

Ah thanks, forgot that one (shame on me) :P



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sure sure...

Of course xbox would be able to handle MGS4, both Xbox and PS3 can handle the new CryEngine 3 (even when they said that consoles wouldn't be able to handle Crysis) which is by far more advanced than the MGS4 engine. You see, it's all about optimization.

So yea, xbox is capable of handling MGS4 without being gimped, so there. Learn to live with that. :lol:

Aaaah fanboys, gotta love them. :lol:
Posted by Vyvrtka
The installs between acts were like 2-3 minutes, so stop exaggerating.
As for me, I HATE disc swapping, so I'll take the installs any day. I'm even using no-cd patches on my original PC games.
Lost Odyssey was great, but swapping those 4 dvds was a pain the ass.
Posted by Black Mantis
Sounds like something a lazy fat person would say! May I suggest Wii Fit

I'm going to burst your bubble here. I'm definitely not fat. I AM lazy, sure, but not fat. :lol: 182cm, 63kg, doing martial arts, but when I'm at home, I'm LAZY as hell. So yea, getting up from my couch during play session is something I really hate. :lol:

Why people think that only fat people are lazy? I don't really have fat friends and even then most of them are lazy f**ks like me. :p
Posted by svd_grasshopper
im more skinny than fat, and i despise disc changing. if a game has a PSN version, i buy it just so i dont need to bother with the disc.

so multiple discs really get on my wick.

MGS4, initial game install is 8 mins and 2 mins for every new chapter.

its 33GB, so thats 4 DVD's. that alone ****ed the 360 over regarding a MGS4 release.
Posted by metallicorphan
yes but Lost Odyssey was 4 DVDs..and no problems there


and i am sure the Act installs were longer than 2 minutes,i remember Snake puffing on that smoke for ages...god that was so lame
Posted by Black Mantis
I'd take the disc swapping. **** the two minute installs.
Posted by silversun_111
On a more sounder note....whats Metal Gear Solid??
Posted by silversun_111
On a more sounder note....whats Metal Gear Solid??
Posted by Vyvrtka
Google it. They were like 2-3 minutes long, one of them was just around 1 minute from what I remember.

Disc swapping is annoying.

do you need to say tomato because i say potato?!

**** off!!! you sound like my little sister.

Can't take it when people bite your style! Don't worry, it's a one-off. My attempt at copying your style has made me feel nasty so I'll revert back to type; Installs or swapping? Don't care to be honest.
Posted by metallicorphan
installs also take up valuable HDD space..sure it doesn't seem like much at the time but it all adds up

instead of just taking a few seconds to get up and change the disc
Posted by tina1167
What is up with the April 2007 date? I remember the April 1st joke with Raiden and Campbell. It's Raiden isn't it? He will be the new game.
Snake isn't dead so isn't it plausable that he would make an appearance? Although David Hayter is making such press waves reguarding this series..I am not sure.
Hideo just loves to tease. :shock:
Posted by Vyvrtka
Considering the fact that my 500GB HDD for my PS3 arrived last Friday for 92,-eur (incl. tax) I'll say that I don't really care about installs eating my hdd space anymore :p

I must say, changing the PS3 hdd was way easier and more comfortable than changing my PC HDDs, that actually surprised me tbh.
Posted by headspin
i borrowed mgs4 this weekend and put it in my ps3 on saturday, played it for about 3 hrs and got as far as where that flying dude and doctor octopus rip off and a few others show up and cane that bulldozer and soldiers, and ive got to say whilst i didnt think the game was gash, i didnt think it was amazing either, why do the cut scenes need to be so long as well????
Posted by Vyvrtka
Is this your first MGS game? Because that's what MGS games are, hybrid between a game and a movie.

And to answer your question: because Kojima wants it that way. :P
Posted by headspin
nah, played and completed mgs2 (sons of libert?), i just think the cutscenes are really unnecesarily long, adds nothing to the game for me, in fact id go as far as sayinb its more of an irritant...
Posted by svd_grasshopper
theres a start button.

you press it and the cut scenes magically disappear.

dont see the problem. if your interested, view away. if not skip.
Posted by headspin
thank christ for that!!! thankyou!!!
on mgs2 i seem to remember it was either circle or square and ive been tapping away at them everytime theres a cutscene and been driven bonkers having to wait, didnt even think about pressing start, nice one, maybe ill enjoy the game a lot more now...... :wink:
Posted by wiikii007
Here whe go :roll: ...

Watch E3...Thats what I recon...Some big announcements this year from Sony and Nintendo.
Posted by spud-o
why did niether M$ and sony not think of puttin a multi-changer in there machines? Tools!!!
Posted by svd_grasshopper
because sony didnt need it.

and MS has more than enough inside that crowded little box. would probably send it into meltdown.

good idea in theory though. its been in hifi's for ages... disc changing is a ****.
Posted by superdave
grasshopper is the biggest ps3 fanboy there has ever been, hes a total loser, look at his profile he has been online flaming all day on numerous articles. i wish i could meet you and smash my xbox over your hollow skull, i made an account to say this cuz i been reading this website for ages and your a tw@. i hope you fall down a well
Posted by voodoo341
:? at time of typing this reply it's over 300 hours until June the 1st.
Posted by sonic_uk
In all probability its gotta be Mgs5. What else could it be.
Posted by tina1167
For one thing the timer ends JUNE 1, BUT you need to add another 24 hours until it's done. Think about it. Raiden called himself Lightning at the end of MGS4. His words were.."Raiden is dead, I am Lightning now."

I loved Raiden. I thought he was a little bit naive in The Big Shell incident..but he was the typical uninformed, lied to, used..soldier. Plus he was green as they come. He was endearing all the same.
There are rumors that Sunny will be in this new one...if Sunny is in it..Otocan will be in it. If Otocan will be in it, Snake will have to be in it. He's not dead yet!!!
Posted by headspin
is raiden that bumbling fool who has bad guts ive bumped into near the start, cos if that is, hes nothing like he was in mgs2..... that prob means he aint the same person then and i was wrong in my assumption.... although i had my suspicions when i bumped into him cos the voice is similar and he wears a mask.... dont worry about telling me if he is the same guy cos i dont care a hoot for the mgs story, seems like pointless jap over-dramatised rubbish so far the storyline does... gameplay is ok tho... :wink:
Posted by spud-o
The only thing an xbox is good for... well that and mass effect
Posted by spud-o
No that was jonny. Raiden is the kick ass cyborg ninja who saves snake on many occasions through the game
Posted by superdave
yeah i wish i had a £400 paperweight, sorry i mean games console so i can play Haze and Killzone 2. man i wish i was cool like yoyu

I own both ya numpty
Posted by CVG Gav
We've watched the site and can't find that image of Raiden at all! We're calling fake.
Posted by DevilsNeverCry
tina 117: Raiden, from the japanese - —‹“d - translates directly into Thunder and Lightning.

So the significance of his name being 'Lightning' is probably not relevant ;)

So is that Raiden image Photoshopped do we reckon? I've not personally seen the site recently so I'm gonna go with yes until proven true.
Posted by Burney123456789
Looking at that picture with Raiden in it... Its convincing at first but closer look you can see its photshop just an image of raiden put on a background and opacity decresed. very basic stuff "/
Posted by metallicorphan
so is it 13 hrs then until the number 4 appears on the screen?

and no i stayed on that site for a few minutes,didn't see the image..perhaps it was only up for a bit,if true
