E3 09: Kojima’s Countdown Ends Today! (Updated)

For the past week gamers have been glued to this teaser site for what many suspect is the next Metal Gear Solid title.

Now we’re just over two hours away from the end of the countdown. A few clues on the site include the lightening, which suggests this could be another Raiden heavy title – he proved very popular in his Metal Gear Solid 4 incarnation. Another big and widely debated clue is the symbol lit up by the lightening - is it an S or 5?

All will be revealed in a couple of hours; while you wait, take a guess in the comments!

update: The Kojima website has updated with 199 hours, meaning the rumour the announcement might possibly be timed with the Microsoft E3 Press Conference, may hold some water.

Is MGS4 or a potential MGS5 heading to the Xbox 360 platform exclusively???

This answer and much more when NZGamer.com will be @ E3 reporting live!

I don't know about exclusively but it makes sense to make MGS4 (and/or 5) for the X360. I mean they say that MGS4 took up like 40gigs or something but thats just because of uncompressed textures and sound. Gears 2 is a big game and they got that onto one disc.

Kojima deserves a bigger crowd to, might as well let everyone share in the MGS goodness.

A previous exclusive going multi-plat doesn't suprise people anymore (which has been the focus of Microsoft conferences two years running) and if getting MGS is the biggest announcement Microsoft has, it will be quite disappointing for Microsoft fans. Sony looks to be having a huge line-up of upcoming games for E3 (a lot of which are new IP's), and those are just the known ones.

I was watching it live and it only added 120 hours to the countdown(a lot of people got different numbers), as well as rain and new numbers and letters in the background.
