As if three teaser countdowns in a row weren't enough, now we get to be teased some more about Kojima's upcoming game. The image above is the silhouette of a character from Kojima's new game and can be found in PSW. What clues does it give us? About as many as the teaser ads and site do, but dissecting it is fun anyway.
So we have a knife, and a guy with long hair and he might be wearing a jacket. It definitely doesn't look like Snake, but it could be Raiden or Vamp, right? Isn't Vamp a master knife wielder? Then again it could be from Snatcher right? The guy in that game wore a trench coat and this silhouette looks kind of coaty. There are even rumors that it is Guy Savage from Metal Gear Solid 3's easter egg mini-game. The final possibility, and this is the one I'm rooting for, is that it is a character from a completely original game. I'd love to have Kojima jump into something totally new and different.
That might actually be the case as Konami has an old trailer for a game called Lords of Shadows. If you watch the trailer you'll notice the protagonist (or the man who we assume is the protagonist) looks a lot like the shadow on that page. So have we confirmed the new game here?

I wonder what Kojima doing with a medieval game...
I honestly believe the 2 things are completely unrelated. That silhouette is obviously from the main character of Lord of Shadows, and I bet Kojima is producing/overseeing/fucking around with that project.
But the countdown is most certainly, 100%, for a Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement at E3. Bet on it.
mmhmm, Lords of Shadow

PS:The Lords of Shadow logo looks like was made on Paint.
I guess we'll know soon enough.
Doesn't really seem to tie in with the teaser site though unless Kojima is just fucking with us by giving us false hints to make us keep thinking it has to do with Metal Gear. Or maybe he's working on two games? the man is a master of suspense I tells ya!
Picture not related.
It definitely is the character. There are little details found on both that give it away. Such as on the left side of both pictures near his head there is a little thing jetting up on his shoulder, and in between his his arm/side you can see a thing twisting off his gauntlet and his sword.
But I'm really not to sure that THIS is the game that Kojima has been teasing. He might be involved with it, but I don't think it is the one with the site that has the count down going on.
Kojima should team up with IGA and do 3D CV.
NO FUCK THAT GIMME ZOE3
Kojima should just go away, he can't write for shit. Retire with his millions of dollars.

That may be the single best thing I've ever seen written here or anywhere else, bravo good sir, you make the world go round with your insightful and well worded comment /endsarcasm.

Anyway, screw all of this, I'd much rather a new IP, MGS5 or (much poreferably) ZOE3. Come on Kojima, give us the usual, "Well, I know the last game was supposed to be the last, buuuuuut..."
And if its something totally new altogether, then I'm all for it still.
I still want some more Ring of Red, though. Lol.
At first, I thought that it could have been something Castlevania related. Kojima could have been brought in to help make a good 3-D Castlevania. That guy can really make a great action game with great cut-scenes even when the story is a little on the crazy side...
Does anything in the world not trigger these anger spasms of yours?
anyway its kojima, it will be epic, full of interesting characters, won't make a bit of sense and I will probably love every minute of it.
Seriously Kyousuke, you're one of the bitchiest e-cunts I've ever seen and I hate you. Please disappear from the face of the Earth. Thanks.
