For the past few days, a teaser website has been running a countdown, and each time it hits zero, new bits are added and a new countdown begins.
At first, it was just an open field with clouds and lightning. Then, it started to rain, with the letters E3 appearing every couple seconds. Now, it is pouring rain. The letters are now showing PS3, E, R, and e. But the biggest, and best, addition is this:
Big Boss.
The next Metal Gear Solid game will once again take us back in time. That is what it appears to be. A PlayStation 3 exclusive, most likely, where Big Boss is once again the main character, filling in bits of the story through history.
But I wonder, what else can be added to the story when MGS4 did such a good job at filling in mostly every hole? How much of what happens can tie in to the main story line and how much can be new enough to surprise gamers? (Okay, the second part of that really should not be too difficult consider the franchise that I'm talking about.)
Honestly, though, I am a little upset that this was not going in the direction of a Raiden game. I like Raiden. He's a badass. MGS2 did not bug me all that much. It just made me look forward to MGS4 that much more. A Raiden filler game would have been way cool, since it would turn him from little bitch to ninja badass.

It just hit me. The time frame for this new game can lean closer to the events of the first Metal Gear. That would be cool.
