Konami online countdown ends, new countdown revealed

26.05.2009
Yesterday, GamePro ran a story about a new Metal Gear game being revealed in an upcoming issue of Famitsu magazine, and spoke of how the infamous countdown clock on was to run out at 6:00 PM PST. Well, the clock ran out, and what did it reveal? Another bloody countdown. As of this writing, we've 103 hours, 4 minutes and 43 seconds until yet again undoubtably teases us with something equally mysterious and frustrating.

What's new, besides the new countdown clock, is the fact that there is now rain and lighting passing across the field and the letter E (which is backwards sometimes, which could then work as a 3) seems to flash every now and then, along with a backwards 9. The original 5 or S that popped up in the last incarnation of the site, flashes as well. Some seem convinced the 5 or S, stands for a Metal Gear 5, but what could the E and 9 stand for? Perhaps someone versed in symbology or is an expert at solving anagrams might have a clue, but as for the rest of us, we're quite perplexed. Again.

Once more, Kojima has duped us into waiting for another announcement of an announcement. But, one can't blame them, for if it's anticipation they're trying to build, they've certainly accomplished just that.
