Metal Gear Ac!d is written with an exclamation mark. the i could be iphone, right? internet?

its all pure speculation at this stage however... the "power button" is the same bloody power sign on every single appliance, just a coincidence that the xbox shares it hehehe

It's def going to be an announcement that MGS4 will be ported to the 360, 10 discs and all. Just further proof that M$ doesn't have an innovative or creative bone in their collective bodies when it comes to games. ;)

Pity then that it's not MGS4 it's "the next MGS" ...

When it comes to original IP's on the 360, there's Gears and .... not much else worth even mentioning. ;)
Kay, i'll just mosey on off to the flamethread.

That's okay, but just remind me which massively successful generation defining games came out on the PS3 ... oh yeah right, none. The biggest seller is a rehash and the best idea was a flop.
So yeah, off to the flame thread .... ;)

This looks plausable :D

http://www.pushingplay.com/2008/12/05/a-next-metal-gear-is-damn-you-hideo/

Last night MGS creator Hideo Kojima and Konami decided to keep the Internet from sleep by stirring up some good ol’ fashioned speculation. A new site popped on Konami’s Kojima Productions page saying “A Next Metal Gear Is…” as shown above. Notice how those symbols are in a nice shade of Xbox green? Yeah, that’s why the Internet is on high alert. Could a version of MGS4 be coming to the Xbox 360? Doesn’t that last symbol remind you of the Xbox power button when it isn’t 3/4 red? I dunno. What I do know is that Sony fanboys are praying to their bronze Solid Snake effigies as we speak. The NeoGAF forums are bubbling with some witty theories and some hilarious gifs (and photoshops) which you should all check out.

I’m gonna say the symbol is hinting at Metal Gear Ac!d for the iPhone and iPod Touch. iPod + Ac!d? The html link contains the phrase /mgst/ in it, which I’m guessing stands for Metal Gear Solid Touch. But that could also mean that it might be a DSi game. But then are they using Xbox green just to screw with us? OH, I DUNNO! How about just telling us what the hell is going on, Kojima?! It feels like the internet needs to take a huge MGS dump and Hideo’s Shena****ns are occupying all the stalls in the washroom.

I find it strange that since a teaser like that points to the 360 with "green", all the bots are excited. Yet before all the bots said it sucked and that it was a movie :rolleyes:

I'm excited to see if the "next" MGS is actually a franchise reboot or just a port of MGS4. If it's the later I'm not interested.

There seem to be enough characters that they could do a parallel episode, like GTA4 "Lost and Damned" for the 360 which is a bit more intriguing that another episode of "Senile Snake," which would make financial sense, as they could reuse the MGS4 artifacts.

If it isnt a port of MGS4 to the 360 then it probably wont be out on the current Xbox console. Kojima productions has a lengthy turn around time for a new game. They typically take between 3-5 years on a new release. But one thing you can be sure of is a rock solid game unlike other franchises that release full of bugs with a hope to patch over the net.

That's why I figure it might be a parallel story, they could reuse a lot of the MGS4 assets and turn it out by the end of 2009.

Following the news that it wouldn't be long until the next MGS game would be revealed, and then the first potential evidence of it being for the iPhone, we now have the official confirmation of the new game: Metal Gear Solid Touch is the title and it's coming to the iPhone. So much for the green teaser hinting at a Metal Gear Solid 4 port for the Xbox 360, which many people assumed to be the case (Kojima's ploy to get people talking certainly worked).

According to what little information is available so far, the game is based on the characters and story from Metal Gear Solid 4 and players will naturally be able to control everything through the touch screen.

I feel sorry for the xbox guys.

It would have been cool for them to be able to play MGS on the console.

They will get a port (at the very least) but not now. Maybe 2011.

The longer you wait, the better it gets...

;)
