Teaser sight flashes Big Boss's likeness and random consonants amidst a rainy field background with a countdown to the announcement in the forefront.Relix said:
Poor Famitsu scans abound of a character that looks exactly like Raiden in ninja armor, yet NeoGAF somehow assumes it's is Sunny, a pre-teen girl who can barely cook eggs much less take out Geckos.
The last 1500 posts are purely speculation of the same theories over and again while piecing together the mystery that is the logo on Big Boss's beret and why he's wearing it on the wrong side.
Also, arguments of why MGS4 is good or bad.

You aren't missing much. The Raiden-like character is wearing a dirty t-shirt wrapped over one eye and the other eye is brown.
Therefore it must be a woman, right?
Has anyone brought up the possibility of nanomachines somehow changing eye color or the fact that he's 89% robot now? He has white blood for Christ's sake. His eye color is the last thing we should be questioning.
I brought up the fact that Akiba looks just like Snake a while back. He was one of the original Genome soldiers modeled after him, after all.Kowak said:
Raiden looked like
The Patriots did capture Raiden at some point and fucked him up, so perhaps the famitsu image depicts that.
I felt that MGS4 did not feel like the previous games. It lacked a bit of charm and the insane attention to detail that Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater had.
Now that Kojima is in 100% control from the start, I'm sure this will blow our minds.
And we better get a proper intro like the jump from the bridge in Sons of Liberty and the jump from the plane in Snake Eater. To this date those intros are still unrivaled in my eyes.
to have a some what normal body at the end of MGS4.

Where do you people find these no-name websites? Gamefaqs? The last thing NeoGaf needs right before E3 is members posting crap from GF.

I've always wondered this myself. People will post the most inane trash to be followed by a link to a website no one has ever heard of. Half the time, it's the webmasters of said sites themselves.Jason's Ultimatum said:

With some key Japanese Capcom folks skipping E3, Kojima apparently wont be there either.

Is there a source? AFAIK theres no travel ban, there are Japanese devs which are coming to E3.RiotPelaaja said:

It was a theory, not a rumour. I can understand being upset if there was a link to a baseless rumour posted, but it was just a screen grab of the teaser that was linked to.DangerStepp said:

It's only a mimicry of a human body. Pretty obvious with all the markings and "detachable" lines his body has.
Anyway, the barcode on his forehead and the scar running across his face in the scan is just plain strange. Raiden pre-MGS4 is what I'm venturing to guess. It could also be post-MGS4, doesn't really matter. I hope it's a sequel and not a prequel. I don't want a MGS game about saving a character I don't give two shits about (sunny), but that's just me.
People saying it's Greyfox are just fucking stupid, sorry had to take that off my chest.

If this happens then I wonder if this game will even be shown? Kojima's always the one to introduce these things.

As i've been saying, I don't really know who it is. I just don't think it's completely obvious that it's Raiden.

Famitsu Teases Raiden and Big Boss Counting Down To Sony E3 Press Conference
Kojima Site Unveils Familiar Characters.

As RedFox1160 so astutely pointed out, Hideo Kojima's big cocktease of a countdown site has finally revealed some pertinent information. Waiting out the thunderstorm reveals the original bad ass, Big Boss, mixed in with all the gibberish numbers and letters. But what about this new countdown? Could it be that the cyborg we all love to hate will also be featured?
Famitsu seems to think so. According to this scan, Raiden will be joining the as yet unnamed Kojima production as well. As you can see, there's actually another countdown clock reading 36 or so hours. Now, I put my noggin to good use, and broke out the ol' abacus to crunch some of these numbers.
The current countdown on Kojima's site has a clock counting down from 116 hours. At this point (10PM on Tuesday night), that puts the end of that clock sometime around dinnertime Sunday the 31st. Now, that would seem to be the time Raiden will be revealed to all, thus starting the next countdown of 36 hours. That should end Tuesday morning, or June 2nd, which many of you may know is the day Sony will be holding their press conference. Coincidence? I think not.
Whatever plans Sony and Kojima have, it looks like the cat is just about out of the bag. All that remains is finding out when, where, and why. Looks like it's up to Coop and Sarah to get answers those questions when they hit up E3 next week.
This is exciting, no?

After looking up Berets, there are some references to the French military wearing the badge on the right. Where the US/UK have it on the left.

I just listened to the Kojima Productions Report and they said nothing about Kojima not going. In fact, they talked about how Ken (I think), will be bringing a camera and capturing video about behind the scenes stuff and they mentioned him filming Kojima.infinityBCRT said:

I wasn't even aware the podcasts were available again. I was under the impression that after Ryan left that they were only posting the podcasts within MGS4 and not on the web. I have some catching up to do, although I wonder if it will be the same without Ryan. Ken is a funny guy thoughShalashaska said:

I haven't played MGS2 in awhile, but did the models really age that badly? Solidus looks terrible.

MGS5 to use Just For Men product placement?
I reckon it's BB in the 80s, he might bump into Solidus and little Raiden.

Sadly, it isn't. And Ken hasn't been on in a while eitherinfinityBCRT said:I wasn't even aware the podcasts were available again.

. There's 3 new people that weren't on before. They've been boring lately but that's because they obviously can't say anything yet but I think next week things will be get better.There's new high-res famitsu scans out. The eyes are most definitely brown and there are a couple of weird holes in the head.

Clearly "MILITAIRES SANS FRONTIERES" is a reference to military in outer space. And the black background is supposed to be space. So I added stars and Jupiter and Jehuty...Chinner said:OMG GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT:

It must be a ZOE game!
Perhaps these french references found on Big Boss are simply alluding to the other major french reference in the series: the Les Enfants Terribles project which is the cloning experiment conducted on Big Boss's genes by Zero and the beginnings of Liquid, Solid, and Solidus. Which could mean this game revolves around that era. But that doesn't explain the hi-tech cyborg ninja, unless he/she is from a separate game entirely.
I will stand by my crackpot theory that this game is post-MGS4 and someone who looks a lot like Big Boss is attempting to continue the legacy / form a new cloning project, perhaps from Solid Snake's genes.

If Big Boss can survive two massive explosions from the previous games, surely Olga survived that gunshot from Solidus. Or maybe it was a giant conspiracy from the patriots in the first place.
She's clearly on a mission to get Sunny back and dons the ninja suit once more.
However Akiba being a clone of Big Boss is sterile and so since him and Meryl can't have a kid, they want to adopt Sunny since she's so awesome and will win all the "honor role student" bumper stickers.
So it's Akiba vs Olga in a fight to the death over who has custody of Sunny. Somewhere along the lines, Olga stabs Akiba's eye out. We all know he probably wins in the end though because of teh awesomz soldier genes

Yes, it was. When he was the ninja, the only real part of him was the head. At the end of the game, his head was reattached to his red-blooded body.Blader5489 said:

Also completely stupid.Ballistics said:How can people not understand the Ocelot/Liquid thing?
EasyLiquid was never fully in control of Ocelot in MGS2, then between MGS2 and MGS4 he had the arm removed (which can clearly be seen). So the whole of MGS4 was drug induced to hide his true intentions from JD (Big Boss tells you that). Then Snake beats it out of him.

They look great, mostly considering there was a lot more on screen + 60 fps to boot. And that was a decade ago as well.
And those were some poorly compressed shots.

Anyone who doubts the quality of MGS2 models should just take a quick viewing of this:
