Metal Gear Solid: Rising
A new Metal Gear for Xbox 360! "Raiden is Back"! Lightning Bolt Action!
Click for E3 2009 teaser.
Click for E3 2010 Trailer
Metal Gear Solid: Rising stars Raiden, and will take place between MGS2 and MGS4. According to the "Metal Gear Solid 4 Database" this dates the game between 2012 (the year Raiden was captured by the Patriots and given his exo-skeleton) and 2014 (the year of MGS4). Crying Wolf is also somehow involved in the game, as concept art from E3 2009 shows.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
A new Metal Gear for PSP! Portable Ops 2!? Missing link in Metal Gear Saga!
E3 Trailer.
GamesCon 09 Trailer.
Demo at IGN
This game is out now! Go buy it!!
Kojima will be writing and producing Peace Walker. It is set in 1974, ten years after Snake Eater, four years after Portable Ops and two years after the Les Enfants Terribles project, which resulted in the birth of the Sons of Big Boss. It will chronicle Big Boss setting up a military force without a government, known as Militaires Sans Frontieres, who have been hired by Costa Rica to defend themselves from a powerful army which wishes to take over and deploy weapons there. This is the beginning of what will become Outer Heaven.
So, any questions?
Metal Gear Solid: Rising will basically be Metal Gear Solid 5?
Kojima says Rising is the "next gen MGS5", and Peace Walker is "the MGS5 inside me".
Rising is 360 exclusive?
It will also be coming to PS3 and PC.
And Peace Walker is basically Portable Ops 2?
Yeah, basically. It carries the exact same graphic style and camera, is set a few years after, and you play as Big Boss (Naked Snake). It essentially makes a Big Boss trilogy, along with Snake Eater and Portable Ops.
I never got a PS3, and have never played MGS before. What do I need to know?
Well, here's a timeline of the general events, mixed in with some relevant real world events. Note: it is rather long and contains spoilers for all the games that are out so far.
There's been seven game in the series so far, but these new ones make it nine. Here's the games in chronological order:
1964: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
1970: Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
1974: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
1995: Metal Gear
1999: Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
2005: Metal Gear Solid (The Twin Snakes)
2007/09: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
2012-ish Metal Gear Solid: Rising
2014: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots
If you're interested in playing catch-up, head on over to the Metal Gear Monday thread and see what those guys are up to.
Don't worry about playing Metal Gear or Metal Gear 2 as they've been pretty much retconned to oblivion. You can get by just reading a story synopsis. Portable Ops contained some hints at plot-twists which are fully revealed in MGS4, and if you enjoyed MGS3 it's an interesting epilogue. The PSP's controls turned a lot of people off however.

Oh, but the guys do buy the games. That's the rub.
If you don't like their games, why the hell are you here?
"...
You're that tin man"
...because his games are frustratingly close to awesome while being simultaneously retarded.
Can love bloom on the wheat field?
im calling wheat camo. srsly.
Don't make me hunt you, son.
Because I played the fuck out of MGS2 on my xbox and loved it (especially all the missions and hidden shit), then played MGS4 for an hour and my friends house and wondered what these games had in similarity with each other apart from Snake and a laughable story.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Master Chief vs Aliens vs Crysis Man set on the Crysis island
you're welcome
Probably true, actually.
on a wheat field.
with thunder damage.
So... Halo?
If it's anything else... I'll figure it out then.
By the way, why the fuck do we need announcements for an announcement? I HATE that shit. You want to do something cool? Just fucking show us. Don't make us wait to find out what it is that we're waiting for.
No, more like the best multiplayer game ever, AvP2. Holy fuck that game needs a sequel.
Hey, it might be irritating as hell, but it builds hype and that's the point, I guess.
I know what you mean, though I'm sure it will be painfuly obvious once they tell us...
Thunder and lightning: Raiden.
Kojima's speech at GDC(?) had an image of Raiden with the words: "The Next MGS".
MGS5 announcement, will have Raiden as the main character.
It's like this social experiment I read about, where this guy walked up to an unmarked door on a nondescript building in a city and just stood there. After a little while, people started lining up. After an hour or so, there was a line around the block. They didn't know why they were in line.
Same here. We don't know what we're hyping up over. You're right, it's irritating as all hell! I get it, I just disagree with it. I mean, it's five days from today. Why bother even saying anything? Just whip it out all Dirk Diggler and go "BAM, deal with that, motha-fahkoo!"
I mean I know they were stupid enough to age and kill off their money machine but noone wants to play as fucking Raiden.
Raiden doesn't even want to be Raiden.
This is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
I did that at school once, though it was staring at the cieling as opposed to standing by a door. It was pretty great.
"Raiden's gay. I hate him because he's not Snake, ABLOO-BLOO-BLOO"
Raiden haters are so 2001.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Yes doing new things with video game characters is very stupid. They're complete idiots for trying anything original.
Let me let you in a little secret about Kojima that's become increasingly obvious over the years:
I'm sorry! I just wanted to be the one to start that stupid bullshit flame war.
You forgot to mention your inside source.
[tiny]I'm so sorry. I feel dirty.[/tiny]
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Well, you can blatantly see a 360 controller in the clouds there.
As for me, I'm guessing Metal Gear Solid iPhone 2: Tap Female Guards in Inappropriate Places.
Also theres someone suposively wearing a (power)suit in the clouds laying down.
I bet you can see a goomba in the clouds if you look hard enough.

Oh God, please be Snatchers.
