I think the submissions are hilarious =D But i'm sure they got plenty of serious ones too.
Here's my theory:
1. If you invert the colors, I think the trees on the left look like Gray Fox / Raiden's mask.
2. The colors of the scene looks identical to Raidens colors. (Suit=Light Grey, Black. Face=Peach, Eyes=Light Green) (http://media.photobucket.com/image/raiden%20mgs4/shinlord/UpStart/MGS4Raiden.jpg)
3. Raiden is quoted saying "I am lightning, the rain transformed..." in MGS4 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462423/quotes)
4. "Kumori" (the flash file's name) and Raiden's name does mean "thunder and lightning" in Japanese
5. "Sunny" is Olga's child who was rescued by Raiden. (http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Sunny)
Thus: New Raiden Game

I thought about connecting all the blades of grass to for a field of dicks, them I thought of field of dreams, and combined them to form the caption "Field of Dicks: If you build it, they will come"
I laughed too hard to photoshop it and submit it.

If you're going to draw a field of dicks the caption should be, "If you play with it, they will cum."

Whisper it softly through the grass, I'm sure most people will be smart enough to make the connection.

It's real simple guys: Kojima mentioned wanted to make something Raiden related. Raiden in japanese is Storm or Lightning. Cloudy screen picture? Approaching STORM? Clearly this is a Raiden game. DUN DUN DUN.....

Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure? Cuz I think you could scratch out another two or three posts about this if you really tried.

Iceorb that is the most sensible thing I have hear since that picture appeared. You maybe on to something. I am still crossing my fingers for something new. And no more Iphone games. That's right I am talking directly to you Kojima.

"You think when Sherlock Holmes stared at a daguerreotype of clouds that almost certainly had no hidden clues in it he just got bored and drew pictures of Duke Nukem?"
I would certainly like to think so.

I think Konami's going to re-release a MGS4 Special Edition with more features: Raiden as playable, more cutscenes (damn...), etc.

There's nothing to see. Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait like good little gamers.

Oh and a more serious note, I did some color adjusting, occluding, bla bla photoshop magic, and the clouds read "ZONE with a skull for the O. Recently Kojima asked if anyone was interested in a follow up and he has expressed interest in revisiting the franchise.
But yeah, I subscribe to someone else's theory that it's a Raiden game. Storms bring lightning and rain, and Raiden's story of transformation (between MGS3 and 4) would be pretty fascinating.

Yay! they posted mine! http://www.joystiq.com/photos/kojima-teaser-ad/2016120/full That was actually the best picture I could of him crawling on Google image search. Still think it looks like a crawling figure in the clouds though.
