It will say Metal Gear and I also found something Interesting. You have to look at the pictures carefully.
This is Solid Snake in both pictures okay.
Okay now look at this very carefully. You can barely see Solid Snake here and his chest says 5 on it.
I'm not kidding about these pictures. Just select the 2nd key of your mouse zoom in once on the Konami website.
4 Bwark-Kupo
Now, as for the Snake in the trees...
-strokes long chin beard-
I'm all for a new MGS but this is slim pickings.
If that really is Snake, that is some damn good hiding Kojima's done there.
Can't be another iPhone game. The only formats MGS haven't been on are 360 and DS. Besides, Konami bank so much on MGS, when they should really be givng us other stuff.
Ring of Red 2 would be nice instead, Konami.
I'm tired of MGS right now. gimme HD ZOE Kojima. give MGS a break.
though on that image, I saw Snake ASAP on that ad posted on the front page yesterday. I don't see how you can't see it. But those pics above are horrible to the point I can't see a thing.
The filename of that flashmovie is called: kumori_15.swf.
As much as people want to believe it has got to do something with Blade of Kumori, it's just the Japanese word for 'Cloudy'.
Thank you trusty Japanese dictionary.
Also, I think there's a circlular symbol around where we see Snake.
I hate viral marketing.
Honestly though, there isn't any indication this is a Metal Gear game aside from the meta tags on the page, and if they were going to go through all the trouble of making a flash file and hiding images in it (I think what you're seeing as snake it's just a blurry spot, to be honest), I doubt they'd fuck it up by putting shit in the meta tags.
There are, however, other weather icons for the loading screen. The normal one now seems to be just a cloud, but there's also one for a thunderstorm, rain, what looks like snow, sun and a !. In April 07[/url, a [url=http://science.howstuffworks.com/question595.htm]nor'easter (also check wikipedia for details) hit the US. the grass, trees and fence look like any number of fields around here in Wisconsin (which is really only the eastern US by being in the eastern half, but whatever, it doesn't suddenly become Mars on the other side of the Great Lakes).
My guess is Tornado Outbreak
April 2007
nor'easter
April 3, 2007 is also the day MGS3:S online multiplayer was shut down, but since it doesn't specify the 3rd and the chances of bringing back the old game are slim to none, I'm not sure that's important.
6 as in 360?!?! ZOMG MGS4 FOR THE 360 CONFIRMED!!
I couldn't find anything else.
STILL. It's not ZOE and right about now i'm kinda ignoring anything Konami till I hear word of a ZOE.
Also, if they did another Ring of Read, that'd definitely be on the 360. :P Sorry, I tried to resist that joke, but just couldn't.
