Retail listing hints at new Metal Gear reveal for PS3 or PSP photo

Everyone is quite worked up over Kojima Production’s teaser Web site. Theories of what it could be are flying, with everything from a Metal Gear game on the Xbox 360 to a game starring Raiden, even a new Boktai or Snatcher title.

Our gut tells us it’s probably Metal Gear related. Now a Japanese 7-11 product listing for next week’s issue of Famitsu PSP + PS3 could hold the answer. The listing, when translated, clearly states that the contents of this issue will contain something about a "New Metal Gear."

One could put two and two together and assume that this is referring to Kojima Production’s announcement -- we may be seeing a new Metal Gear on the PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable very soon.

Of course, the details of what’s in the magazine remain to be seen. It could be a simple “what if” discussion about a new Metal Gear, although the timing of the magazine hitting newsstands, the teaser, and E3 are pretty strong indicators. 

What do you guys think? Excited about the prospect of a new Metal Gear, or are you expecting (even wanting) something different?

i reckon its the official release of RapeLay to the west. Kojima loved it so much he wants to make a big budget sequel/prequel.

New Metal Gear?

If it somehow bridges the stories between Metal Gear and ZoE, I'm down with that.

In other words, I want mech battles.

If it is a new ps3 metal gear bet its the first game to us the 100gb blu-ray disk.

New metal gear, now with twice as much la-le-lu-le-lo.

I want something different. Metal Gear needs s break, and Kojima has plenty of IP to choose from.

My theory is it's some MGS4:Subsistance type deal

How about Metal Gear Ac!d 3 for PS3, hmm? Using existing MGS4 assets would allow for a short turnaround time, a lot of people have never played the series and it would have Metal Gear on the box ensuring decent sales. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of these rumors mention Metal Gear, not Metal Gear Solid.

I played through the first Ac!d and really enjoyed it, even though I'm not a card battle guy at all.

Im not holding my breath on a new Metal Gear game. When this gets revealed...when ever it does then I will get excited depending on the announcement.

If it's Metal Gear Solid on the 360, the whole world will explode. It will probably be a Metal Gear spinoff like Metal Gear Acid. But I'm hoping it's not a Metal Gear game, I want something new.

Hopefully its a grand metal gear game that's more like mgs 3.

A part of me want it to be an announcement saying they are taking a break from this series, wishful thinking, they milk it so much.

Feel sorry for you now Konami, is MGS and Pro Evo all you want to really sell us?

Lightning flashes a 5 behind the timer. The last metal gear was 4. Logic suggests Metal Gear 5.

why not remake Snatcher and/or a new Snatcher game? do something besides Metal Gear for a change.

I can already see the E3 announcement: PSP2 with touch screen comes bundled with Metal Gear Solid Touch. Oh, what a rumor!

A lot of people are building this up to be something really really exciting, but my currency is bet on a MGS4 "complete" title like Substance or Subsistence before it.

I do hope I'm wrong though. Please?

I hope its not a PSP iteration...last time they did that, it was mediocre at best. but i mean last time they had something that caught my eye it was MGS shit for the iphone so this better not suck...

@ Tubatic: ZoE + MGS = fucking brilliant like REX vs RAY shit...

Using the MGS4 assets won't help, they'd still have to remake them so they could actually run on the PSP and more than 4 frames a second, although I am more interested in another AC!D game then another portable ops, hopefully they interconnect, AC!D on my PS3, multiplayer connected to my PSP for card selection, all real time, could be great, could suck.

It dosent matter what it is, if it has a kojima productions logo on it I'll buy the collectors edition without thinking twice, never has a kojima game been a disapointment.

Think you missed part of his post. He suggested Metal Gear Ac!d 3 for the PS3, not PSP.

OK, I would really be upset if it was another Metal Gear game. I want to see Kojima put his efforts towards making an entirely new game... or at least make a new ZotE.

How the fuck can someone be disappointed by a new Metal Gear? What the hell happened in the gaming world? All the naysayers are insane. I'm very much pro creative, new and original games. Kojima does that every single time he creates a new Metal Gear. There are guys here that are saying Kojima shouldn't make another MGS and/or postpone it for a couple of years. Yet the same guys are creaming their pants when a teaser of a new Call of Duty is released. How unoriginal can games get? I don't know why people are complaining when one of the best series ever made gets a new episode. I guess you can never do right as a developer nowadays.

Dear Kojima san, do what you have to do. AC!D 3, ZOE3, Policenauts and Snatcher remake or Metal Gear Solid 5. I don't give a damn. I'll buy it day one.

Takeshi, while I value creativity as much as the next guy, I think some folks get too wrapped up in whether or not a game is creative or innovative and forget that creativity isn't always enough to carry a game. Take Braid for example. It's one of the most creative games I've seen, but playing it was pretty-nearly akin to getting my teeth pulled. It had its moments, but overall it bored me to tears.

Now I'm not here to argue that MGS4 aint fun. Mainly because I've never bothered to play it. I'm just saying that if your only argument is that we should support it because it fills some abstract "creativity" quota, then you're playing videogames for the wrong reason.

It's a new Raiden centric MGS. Or it could be all be a act and really it is ZoE3 or Project S.

I'm with Fantus on this one. Probably a Subsistance game. I've said it plenty of times before but I really wish it was a ZOE announcement.

*smacks head against table* Too Damn Soon...

Though if it's a Metal Gear Acid game...I might be slightly less disappointed.

I'll end up buying it anyhow whatever it is due to rampant fanboyism though...

I hope that it's not a new MGS or Snatcher or Boktai. I just want the infinitely talented Kojima team to put something new out there. I wouldn't mind seeing these game ported (i.e. MGS4 to 360) or updated (i.e. Snatcher HD for XBLA/PSN), but let that be handled by a different studio. Kojima has to be as sick of revisiting old IPs as I am of playing them.
