Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement this week?

New graphic on Konami teaser site suggests triple-A sequel is in the works

A new visual tweak on an already heavy speculated Konami teaser site has given the biggest hint yet that Metal Gear Solid 5 will be revealed early on Friday morning.

The site, which is tentatively entitled ‘Next’, has been updated with the number five now appearing briefly every few seconds. The rest of the graphic depicts a stormy sky above a grassy field.

Everything aside from that is down to guesswork. If the new game follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and is a PS3 exclusive, it will prove a further shot in the arm for Sony’s PS3, which already looks set for a strong 2009.

However, Konami has recently released a brand new Metal Gear title on iPhone, and the publisher has previously expressed is multi-platform aspirations, so a big surprise could yet be in the works.

The countdown on the site will reach its conclusion early on Friday morning – May 22nd 02:00 BST.

I have a feeling its an "S" not a "5", and viscious rumours are all over the net suggesting about a Project S, and this is the first of 4 countdown clocks. We'll see. Viral marketing! can't beat it.

Calvinio - do you mean the Kojima Product logo in the bottom right? thing is couldn't find a Foxhound symbol. foxhound has a fox face on with a knife in it's mouth, the fox with the arched back with Kojima Priductions written underneath is (needless to say) the Kojima production symbol and it leads you to their site. if you look closely (or bother looking at all) you'll see there are also pages for ZOE and other games, it's not an MGS portal (although MGS is all that's happened there recently so it is fairly dominant).

Ijy - well not really. if i remember there was a cliff, little things to hide behind and no grass. and that in itself isn't that significant in the MGS canon, not like Shadow Moses say.

if i know Kojima (which i don't lol) it would be too obvious to put a great big 5 on the screen. it's not exactly subtle, or clever.

i think Jimmmmmmmmbooooo is nearer the mark, we'll see. personally i'm hoping for a brand new IP. the question of which console is a very good one however. but if it does turn out to be MGS5, shouldn't Xbox release MGS4 first? think about it Calv.
