7-Eleven Reveals Kojima Productions Mystery Game?



A retail listing from 7-Eleven's Japanese branch makes mention of a new Metal Gear for the PS3 or PSP. Could this be the new mysterious new game from Kojima Productions?

7-Eleven. Home to cheap taquitos, pro wrestling-themed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7fcpPR4bFA] Slurpee cups, and, after midnight, every homeless person within a two-block radius. And, possibly, home to info leaks about intensely shrouded mystery games from superstar game developers.

For about a week now, Kojima Productions has been leading gamers on a wild goose chase to figure out what exactly their new game is. Snatcher 2! Zone of the Enders 3! A duck-riding simulator! Something with Charles Barkley [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.113141#2031825]! Well, the answer might be finally here, and it comes courtesy of none other the Japanese branch of everyone's favorite convenience store: 7-Eleven. Oh thank Heaven.

A listing over at 7-Eleven Japan's e-Commerce database spotted by IGN [http://psp.ign.com/articles/985/985429p1.html] makes mention of the new issue of Japanese game magazine publisher Famitsu's PlayStation magazine, stating that it will divulge info on a new Metal Gear game. The magazine covers all Sony platforms, so it could mean a game for PS3 or PSP (Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops 2?).

The magazine comes out on May 30, so it'll be a while until we find out exactly. The Kojima Productions teaser site countdown, meanwhile, is due to end in about five and a half hours as of my writing this, but who's falling for that one again? It's just going to be another countdown. Or is it?

Damn. I want ZOE3! But knowing Kojima's talk of MG recently, this is a new game in the works... perhaps a sequel to that PSP game, the one with the cards?

Metal Gear Ac!d. I think they'd do Portable Ops 2 before another one of those, which they already have two of.

Ah, I didn't know (not a terribly big follower of the PSP).

That makes sense then... a DC of MGS4 and PO2 at the same time maybe?

Is that a link to the teaser site, because I just get a link saying konami followed by a page load error.

I thought the 5 was well known? I'm surprised there is any doubt this isn't a MGS5 announcement. It's the only game they have that is up to 5. And is it any surprise that they'd move on to the next chapter of their cash cow, especially given the tough economic times? This is not the time to gamble with things like ZOE3 or a new IP.

Okay, so I watched it for 10 minutes or so and these are the characters that came up:
53Ee35EeE35

This is assuming all the "5" are actually fives and not "S". Also, the "e" I am assuming because it is a backwards 9, which looks like a lowercase "e" to me. I expected it to repeat exactly, so but it didn't. Might be random.
