A new Metal Gear game. One where you'll play as Big Boss again. (FUCK YES)

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/26/kojima-teaser-site-updates-with-big-boss/

Also, Raiden.

QuoteAnother countdown has come to an end on Kojima Productions' now-infamous teaser site, and, in among flashes of lightning, the unmistakable face of Big Boss appears on-screen. He looks older than he did in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and is wearing a beret bearing a patch which reads "Militares Sans Frontieres" (Military Without Borders).

In Metal Gear canon, Big Boss was part of Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) in Vietnam during 1969 -- five years after the events of Snake Eater and one year before Portable Ops takes place. Will we once again be donning the Greatest Soldier's boots, this time on a sneaking mission in/during 'Nam? The new countdown ends just as E3 begins. Our anticipation? It's endless.

And this...

Looks like we'll get even more fun on PS3. Fuck yeah.

I'm stoked.

This. Hopefully they make it more sneaking this time.

Cool. I like playing as the Big Boss but I would prefer a game where your The Boss. Seems so fun. Have one of the missions where she has her baby(OCELOT!) in WWII.
But this still looks nice.

Yea, a boss game during WW2 would be epic. I'm sure if someone pitched the idea to Kojima he'd be intrigued.

But you really can't go wrong with the big boss. I mean he's really in the upper tier of classic/epic villains and even heroes to an extent.

Hmmmmm......
Herillain. Yeah.
I always liked Big Boss/Naked Snake more than Solid/Old Snake. I don't know why but he just seems like a better hero.
But come on. Fighting w/ The Pain, The End, ect... during WWII? It could still be a sneaking game then at certain parts they come and help. The End and Boss sniping together, The Fury helping you fly through an area. That just makes me happy to think about.
And you know Kojima would do it.

Hell, it's WW2. Kojima could make an entire series on that premise alone.

Although I still want my Col. Cambell game like the April Fools joke XD

I would play it. Unless your giving orders the entire time.

But back on topic, it says that it goes over time. And it shows Big Boss and Raiden. So does it seem like, to anyone else, that Big Boss will start the mission and Raiden ends it later? Or will Raiden finally meet face to face w/ the legendary hero in battle?
I want both, personally.

it really depends... do we get whiny MGS2 Raiden or cool badass why did you let me play as him MGS4 Raiden? (a.k.a. Grey Fox Raiden)

Frankly, I'd prefer that the two never meet. Wasn't it explained at the end of MGS4 that Big Boss only got most of his body back towards the end of the game? Unless Raiden did something before Metal Gear 2, I doubt it would ever happen like that. I think it's something Big Boss starts, and Raiden finishes after MGS4 (possible Patriots back up plan?)

I think its Raiden AFTER MGS4. Looks like he still has part of the ninja suit.
I thought Big Boss died after he talked w/ Snake as well. I really don't know. After all this is speculation. Kojima can't be speculated that much. Remember when MGS2 came out? "Yeah. Snake! WTF?! Who's this whinny kid?"

I know with Kojima it's essentially pointless to try and speculate story wise, I'm just saying unless something really crazy/stupid happens (Jedi spirit visiting, time travel, criogenetics, etc.) the two meeting is pretty much impossible since Raiden could only have met Big Boss as a kid (thus having no gameplay)

No seriously, I really do like the idea of those two meeting up, but like you said, it probably won't happen. The best I can come up w/ is Raiden finishing Big Boss' mission.

With Kojima's constant (and sometimes pointless) plot twists, him having a spy on every semi-major gaming site isn't out of the question @_@
