avatar Kojima Countdown, METAL GEAR SOLID 5?

Tag: Game, Hideo Kojima, Konami, Metal Gear Solid, MGS5
A countdown of another countdown just doesn't make sense to me *a bit annoyed* but I guess this is how Hideo Kojima-sama makes his countdown site become headlines twice on major video gaming sites. Just a few hours ago, the first countdown, which was expected to reveal the truth behind the mysterious "5" has expired and led to another 5-day countdown timer. This time around, the "5" seems to be missing but according to Joystiq, if stare long enough on the site, you will eventually get "5", "@", "E" and "3".

Countdown to reveal METAL GEAR SOLID 5?

Rumors have it that a new Metal Gear series is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming E3 expo (and Famitsu) and it seems to make a lot of sense based on the hint -5@E3-. The title tag on the site reads KOJIMA PRODUCTION "NEXT" and fans are expecting the announcement of the next Metal Gear Solid, "METAL GEAR SOLID 5" aka "MGS5".

Oh man...Just when I thought I've finished the entire saga, this comes out! But I wonder where they would go from here (or rather, where would Kojima bring us next...).

Ermmmm this is my guess the 1st word that i seen is either a 5 or a S well my guess is 5 for MGS[5] and there is an E3 so this might be a big news at E3 and the last [e] well or might be [@]... Well just wait for 30th of May. (when the countdown stop that is.....)

@ jusuchin85,
But that should be a long time ago, no? Anyways MGS5 is still a rumor. We will need to wait 5 more days.

@ Jus a loser,
I did mention that actually. It sums up as 5@E3. Well, until 30th May, we all might just be completely wrong and there's no "METAL GEAR SOLID 5".

MGS4 just released last year...and the plot has just ended with Liquid and Outer Heaven being *ahem*. Not to mention about the Patriots as well...

But yeah, knowing Kojima he may pull a thing or two.

@ jusuchin85,
True, Outer Haven is doomed, which means this (MGS5) could be another prequel as claimed by many speculators.

Yeah... Maybe Outer Haven is done for but hey if it is a continue story of MGS4 i wouldn't suprise cause the story still got many unexplained stuffs to me... So lets wait for Kojima's suprise

@ Jus a loser,
Some claims that there will be a dedicated game for Raiden based on MGS4, or just a downloadable content, but I think that's not going to happen.
