GamingBolt : Kojimas secret project : "NEXT"

From the way GamingBolt.com see it, this "NEXT" photo describes a new game, perhaps a new IP maybe. Though it could also mean a new Metal Gear, a "NEXT" Metal Gear, like all of us think, this could be Metal Gear Raiden, Metal Gear Solid 5, or anything else in that matter.

Though the most talked about topic is "Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to the Xbox 360", and from this photo, the chances go lower.
Like GamingBolt.com said "NEXT" means something new, a sequel, or anything like that, so if MGS4 was coming to the 360, why would he put this "NEXT" on the photo?
Updates:
Update : A new image has been added to the story with a "5" !!! What this could be ? MGS5 on the cards or another new IP starting with a letter "S" ?

Why would kojima waste his time porting MGS4 to 360. If MGS4 was going to 360 it will be passed on to some internal konami group to port it while kojima works on something else. Spending time to port MGS4 on 360 = waste of kojima time but it won't be a waste of time to konami so they can handle the port

You're completely right, Kojima has too many amazing ideas swirling around his head, hes not going to dwell on the past. I know that 360 owners would love MGS4, but I think that they would really benifit (if the game was multiplat) from some hard work on a new IP from Kojima Productions.

Im expecting some really great things from Konami at E3

No you got it all wrong.

- In a large field like that there's often a lot of spiders: Arachnid

- Take the first two letters from Arachnid: Ar

- The bigger field with white grass probably represents the first name of a large white guy while the green grass represents his last name: Aron Greenberg

- Then there's clouds in the sky and there are similar clouds in gears 2 act 1 and the Halo 3 trailer: Connected to Gears 2 and Halo 3

- And as Mr kojima is also involved I can't help to see the obvious connection of Metal gear solids: Snake

This all concludes my suspicions that: Aron Greenberg will announce a new AAA title "Metal gear VS Gears 2 VS Halo 3 (working title)" at E3 this year exclusively for the xbox 360.

I've also managed to leak an In-game screenshot of this new super blockbuster. /PS, this is actually how they ride in-game.

1.7 - What will happen to 360 fanboys when they know that MGS4 won't be coming to 360?
Do you know?

Nothing will happen to "them" as it's not "them" that wont let this rumor die already, its the media. I honestly dont know any one of my friends who own a Xbox 360 and friends on Xbox Live who either:

-want MGS4
-even KNOW what MGS4 is
-care

I got the MGS4 PS3 bundle when it came out particularly for the game and figured that would be the right time for me to buy a PS3 as I wanted the game and i'm sure if anyone REALLY wanted it that bad they would've gotten a PS3 by now.

360 owners dont want MGS4, it can't get more clearer than that. Xbox 360 'FANBOYS' just want it as something to brag about to bash against playstation 'FANBOYS' for a loss "exclusive".

1.11 - Maybe Snake's been standing there all along, wearing octocamo?
It's all a total quessing game at this point....

Kojima could have a team split off with added devs just for the 360 version with added content? Anybody in their right mind knows the cash to be had with a port to the 360.I just would not put any money on it....

This could happen,but odds are it's "not" going to happen.

Kojima is looking to get more of a "west" flavor into his games,his recent visit to Infinity Ward added into this makes me think he is going after a new IP. Then after this new IP,he will have his main (designers) men directly under him tackle the next MGS all on their own.But first a new IP.....Then the next MGS....

The picture has "Metal Gear Raiden" written all over it however...

Next can stand for the the next MGS or his next series,anybody can make a quess.Anyways,less than 24 hours and we can all find out what is really up...

your completely right when the teaser first came out I was all hyped up for a new game then I start seeing the predictions on ign and those sites and everysingle one of them had a "MGS4 on 360", I didnt mind it but then the fanboys just started going crazy over it all over the comments and forums, I have seen atleast 50 threads here, gametrailers, neogaf etc...which have the title "MGS 4 on XBOX 360 OOOOOMMMMGGGGG!!!11!!!!1!!!&qu ot; and its really annoying

1.13 - I agree with Blaze
I think most x360 fans don't care about MGS4 anymore.They would have cared if it was relased togeher with the PS3 version last year i understand this.

The same way i didn't care as well as most PS3 fans didn't care for LP and Bioshock when it was released later on the PS3.

It does seem like its media that are looking for hits.

What would be better for x360 fans is a new IP for the x360 weather its multi-plat or exclusive.

if this is a hint for the NEW IP, then DAMN! 1080P high quality game. Most likely they will try to surpass their past projects in gameplay, physics, and graphical quality.

At the end of the GDC keynote he did the last picture had the captions:

NEXT METAL GEAR PROJECT or something like that, but NEXT was in it. It had that mini picture of Raiden, and on April fools day you got to see Campbell in Raiden's outfit from MGS4 kicking butt.

Honestly I'll be MORE surprised if tomorrow he announces something that isn't a Metal Gear game starring Raiden. Either way it'll be a day 1 purchase from me. Kojima = can have my bank account. :)

I am so absolutely sure MGS4 isn't going to 360 that i will put my account on the line.

If at this years E3 (Pretty much the last chance of it going Multi)
it gets announced for 360 i will put up my account password in the forums and leave N4G.THAT'S how certain i am it won't happen.

If it doesn't...give me a bubble? :D

It's the next MGS that he wants to make, the one he talked about at GDC. He kept saying the "next" MGS this the "next" MGS that.

He also said he is done with making metal gear games. Thats why i don't think it will be metal gear. He tied up that story well. Kojima is likely working on a new game that appeals to a western audience. This new game will likely be multiplatform

^ I thought the last slide at GDC was called "The Next Metal Gear?" and had a pic of Raiden. Is that when he said there wouldn't be another metal gear? I didn't listen to what he said.

That was Kojima's ultimate April's fool joke. Las month it was revealed that it really wasn't Raiden in the presentation rather it was Roy Campbell with his cane.

To be honest, they probably are or have had some financial involvement somewhere in the development but have agreements not to reveal the fact they have paid for it.

No dlc for MGS for the game is too old. I believe he is moving on and getting out of the metal gear franchise (even though that is his life and blood). He is going to experiment with other ideas.

11.2 - Too old?
GTA: The Lost and the damned came out about 10 months after the original game dropped and went on to sell very well.

Burnout Paradise is supported to this day with car and game mode updates (and is getting a large island add-on in a bit) after almost a year and a half of being released.

MGS4 isn't that old, and even if it is, DLC is DLC.

Since NEXT has and X in it, it is obviously coming to the Xbox360. ALso, that word NEXT is somehow shaped like a 360 controller. Not to mention the fact that Masterchief is in the clouds.
