I'll start by saying I have no insider info or anything about Kojima Productions's plan for Comicon, but I have noticed a number of hints that lead me to think that there's a high chance they will show something at this week's Comi-Con. So here's what I've collected so far:
1. Kojima in Paris (see my post here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=473812). During an interview for Gameblog.fr, Kojima said they won't show the Fox Engine during E3 (and they didn't indeed), but he added that he wants to show it this July, to coincide with the original Metal Gear's 25th anniversary (it came out July 7th 1986).
2. San Diego's Comic-Con is in July (12th-15th).
3. Kojima and Imaizumi just flew from Tokyo to LA today.
4. Kojima tweeted this:
and this:
Which clearly means that he's presenting something (his staff brought him some last minute data at the airport), and it's something important because of the way he said he's gonna go fight against the rest of the world (rejoining the idea that his Project Ogre is gonna shock a lot of people?)
5. Imaizumi tweeted this:
Which made me think that maybe this won't be a public presentation, and that they're only gonna show their tech to a special someone in LA. But then I asked him about it and he replied this:
Which reassured me a bit and made me think that they will make a public announcement later this week.
So there you go, that's all I got, but I'm pretty sure that they're having a big presentation at Comic-Con. My bets on what they will show? A short tech demo of the Fox Engine, nothing game related, just with random assets. And then, they will show a bunch of goods related to the 25th anniversary (we already know that they're making an orchestral medley CD of the best tracks from the games, and they also teased a Fox Hound bento box). In any cases, I'm excited, and I hope we'll get something new by the end of the week
TL;DR:
Kojima promised to showed Fox Engine in July. We're in July, and he's at Comic-con this week with presentation files to show to the world, so GET HYPED
