The countdown timer on Kojima Productions' teaser site for its next project -- launched one week ago today -- has reached zero, revealing ... another countdown! This one is set for a little more than 8 days, expiring on May 30, Tokyo time. It's also raining now, as if the sky itself is crying along with all of Kojima's patient fans.
Given the news earlier today that Japanese gaming mag Famitsu will unveil a Metal Gear project for a PlayStation platform on its May 30 issue's cover, we're literally counting the days until it hits. Still, keep your eyes on the skies.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Kojima and company were listening in on your theories of what the reveal might be. Maybe next time?
Update: If you watch the scene on the site long enough, you'll see the characters "5," (what is likely the typeface's equivalent of) "@," "E" and "3" briefly flash on the screen, one after the next. "5@E3" it is, then! We've added a gallery showing the not-so-cryptic characters below. The timer has also been adjusted for 120 hours -- 5 days -- ending on May 26. Just maybe the sun will come out a little early?

As much as I hate to say it, didn't Kojima say that MGS4 was going to
be Snake's last game. I mean the Foxdie Virus was really doing a
number on Snake in MGS4. Is he going to even be alive after the
ending of MGS4, *spoiler alert* where he sticks the gun in his
mouth, and the camera pans away. yes he will.. but really the
Foxdie is killing him and he's growing old fast. I actually had a
thought that maybe Raiden, would take over the series, but with all
the things that's happened to him over the period of game 2 to 4 is a
mystery...to me at least

Kojima's NEXT Campaign Related To Metal Gear Solid
Skoar writes-"One such issue of Famitsu also contains a similar thing where this person places his magazine under a camera and a box titled "The Orange" with an exclamation mark appears. Boxes are an infamous method of hiding in the Metal Gear series, and this box titled "The Orange" was last seen in Metal Gear Solid 2 and was used by either of the protagonists"

The "5" at ES means that MGS4 will be relased to the 360 on 5 DVD's.

Last week, there was a mysterious Kojima Production countdown teaser page that appeared on the web. When this countdown ran out, gamers were teased with the start of yet another countdown that will expire in a little over 52 hours from the time of this posting.
The rumor sweeping the internet, due to advertising spreads found in Famitsu, is that this countdown relates to an announcement regarding a new Metal Gear Solid title.
We'll have to just wait the 50 hours and hope that another countdown doesn't begin

im no computer wizard and im too lazy to check but does the final countdown end june1st or begin? if it begins it could have a middle finger flashing until sony's speech thing where it changes to a happy face. also is anyone else worried its one of those internet videos where something jumps out? and finally i believe kojima said it was snakes final chapter not game so there could be more snake based games which fill in gaps, furthermore if it is a new metal gear please use psn for online and find a way to include octo camo, the mkII, cqc, the mkIII, the iconic floor hump, drum, face octo camo, you know what? just go ahead and give me new environments for mgs4

that symbol is not an "@"
it stands for the Japanese year of the snake, see:
http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyominifeaturestories/354/tokyominifeaturestoriesinc.htm
anyways, kojima is the biggest attention seeker out there, this is defiantly the LAST time I bother with one of his LAME countdowns, usually countdowns are fun(if ur awake at that time and happen to be next to a pc), but this dude makes it crappy
looking forward to mgs5(but not the STUPID story which everyone fails to see how CRAP it sank to, he even makes jokes about how cheesy there getting for God's sake lol)
cheers everyone.
