Kojima posts mysterious tweet about Ground Zeroes

Kojima posted a photo on Twitter that caused some internet debate. Underneath the already known artwork of Snake from Ground Zeroes, is another sheet of paper of which only the corner can be seen. (Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, PS3, Xbox 360)

The disagree votes on this comment baffled me

you guys take these agree / disagree votes to seriously ..... who cares if he has disagrees!!!

@jon1234

Disagreeing with someone's opinion about their favourite game series is a little weird. Unless they just wanted to point out his weird typos.
jon1234  +   291d ago
what ever, i dont want to argue about this... i just find it funny that donnie got so angry and omar only had 2 disagrees, so he had to make a point of it...
DA_SHREDDER  +   291d ago
The amount of agrees is what got me? ZOE is a better game conceptually.

@jon1234

I can see your point mate but if you think that was me getting angry then you should see me when i'm actually angry haha

i was amused by it more than anything

@hkgamer

How is disagreeing with someone's opinion about his favorite game series weird? All that means is that it's not that person's favorite game series that hit the disagree button.

I agree with Jon1234. This website is pathetic in that on every single article there are several people whining about how someone got disagrees. Who cares? Grow up and stop worrying about what the internet thinks of your terrible responses.

@DA_SHREDDER: Really? Hmmm, well the games explore two pretty different areas. The thing about ZOE is that most people have only played the two games when there's a film and an anime and a gba game. So yeah, ZOE is a lot denser than I think a lot of people realize, but still, overall I think it's much more accessible than mgs and conceptually a lot simpler if you ask me. I mean it borrows a lot more than mgs does.

Why would "Xbots" disagree? Xbox owners are stoked about MGS on Xbox. It's PS3 owners that hate the fact that MG is multiplatform, even though it was never Sony's to begin with.

I mispelled of... Im typing from my phone and its not as easy. But i agree the disagrees although are meaninless to me make no sense.

Speaking of your comment, if disagrees make no sense, neither do the agrees..

My guess is that this game will centre around the creation of Solid and liquid snake

From Fox came two phantoms.... my guess is solid and liquid

Meaning this game could be a prequel to the original Metal Gear
RyuX19  +   291d ago
But what about Solidus?
Ice2ms  +   291d ago
Initially only solid and liquid were born, from the surrogate mother EVA. The two possessed different Big Boss qualities with liquid recieving the superior soldier genes and solid taking the recessive genes.

After that zero wanted a perfect genetic clone of big boss so solid us was made in secret with a different surrogate mother.

So it's quite possible that ground zeroes could feature Les Enfants Terrible

Same here, I wonder what specs they had on the rig running the demo.
Sarcasm  +   291d ago
3 GTX 780s engineering samples with a Haswell i7 6 Core CPU running at 5.4ghz.

lol

I wish they would release some footage already though.
ZombieKiller  +   291d ago
Agreed Omar. I love the MGS series! I bet you that they will have multiple protagonists throughout the game.
I would love it if the game told a story going through time. Let me play as Snake, and Big Boss, make it a surprise, inside the story. Playable flashbacks that retells the past ala Batman Begins.

God that would be EPIC!
I agree about the playing as different protagonists part. Do you remember that picture of that person sneaking in that desert environment? He or she had dirty blonde hair in a ponytail. That could be Liquid snake or maybe Eva or someone who knows
auen1  +   291d ago
i think i saw a conceptual photo of what may have been a young volgin quite a while ago when the fox engine was announced. it'd be cool to see him in a ww2 setting, or something around that time frame.
cj1pate101  +   291d ago
Hmm i remember when hideo kojima wasnt obsessed with crap anime and actually made good games. Shit snake walking through the microwave oven ruined mgs4 for me. Did any one ever play this ?

MattyG  +   291d ago
Yeah it looks kinda like MGS2 Raiden though.
Nimblest-Assassin  +   291d ago
Can't be... if this is big boss... raiden would still have been a child, or not even born yet
ZombieKiller  +   291d ago
Oh! Is that why it says Snake in big bold letters....
I didn't know that was Raiden. SMH

Ok kinda annoying he mirrored the image.

Mirrored it myself online because I couldn't be bothered trying to read backwards.

From "FOX", two phantoms were born.

DasBunker  +   291d ago
That means "Snake" is also mirrored; so "Ekans" from pokemon confirmed as a character in the game anyone?
azshorty2003  +   291d ago
I wonder if Snake gains enough XP will he evolve into Arbok?
Lulz_Boat  +   291d ago
oh shit, i just noticed that Ekans and Arbok are "Snake" and "Kobra"... 10 years of pokemonnerdage and never noticed that.

That looks like Old Snake.. Game may take place in multiple timelines.
DasBunker  +   291d ago
If that's old snake he must be on dat Just for men hair color. You blind?
sjaakiejj  +   291d ago
I don't know what you think I'm referring to but Old Snake does have the same hair colour as the character in the obscured image.
ZoyosJD  +   291d ago
I initially didn't see what you were talking about, but that may be gray hair in the other hidden photo.

You may want to post a picture with it highlighted or something.
its definitely Big Boss. You can see his eye patch strap
-Gespenst-  +   291d ago
Exactly what I was thinking, I can see this game hopping between different time periods. The title sort of suggests that.

I'm guessing it'll probably feature events involving Zero in the span of time between MGS3 and 4, which is reinforced by the image of what seems to be Big Boss and as I mentioned, the actual title of the game. The phantoms thing then seems like it has to refer to Solid and Liquid. So you've got two pretty distinct time periods in mgs history right there. But we'll see.

I've been trying to figure this tweet out for the past hour and I think I've got it figured out. 'XOF' spelt backwards is 'FOX'! Am I a genius or what?

/s
LightSamus  +   291d ago
Looking at it full-size, it's clearly a character with white hair (Old Snake or Ocelot?) and the movie-style words at the bottom mention things like programmers and lighting artists. Another game maybe? Or just another poster for Ground Zeroes?
Im betting on Liquid Snake. I have a feeling this game will span different time periods. It may have to do with the creation of Solid Snake and Liquid Snake. Remember the from Fox two phantoms were born line? Liquid and Solid were created around the same time as Fox was created. But who knows right. All I know is that this is gonna be the best Mgs in the entire series
-Gespenst-  +   291d ago
Definitely looks like Old Snake to me. you can see a sort of nylon strap thing going over his shoulder and a vague glimpse of what could be a bandana just above the grey hair, which looks about the same length we're used to from Snake.

It also seems possible that the caption says something like "Snake is...???" Dead perhaps haha? Maybe Alive?

The image is reversed because the guy in the picture is not Solid Snake - its Big Boss (he wears an eye patch) - and they reversed the image to make that clear - because the "normal" version of the image has the eye patch on the wrong eye.
feraldrgn  +   291d ago
Picture in the back won't be Raiden, since it says "Snake" something, but it's not an "L" or an "S".

So it could be "F" "H" "N" "M" "P" or "R"
Could be "Project", a codeword, or a "Snake" we don't know about.
DeadManMcCarthy  +   291d ago
Kojima is such a troll, that's what I like about him. He keeps us guessing. I don't think anyone has ever got an MGS prediction right.

My guess is that the reason why it's flipped, is to imply that the two phantoms quote is referring to Liquid and Solid Snake because it's on the flipped side showing the side without the eyepatch.

Liquid and Solid Snake are mirrored clones of Big Boss right? This could be a strong hint that they will appear in some form in the game.

This is why I like Kojima. He often tease us gamers of a guessing game, whenever he's working on something. Making us do the detective work. I think American developers need to start doing what he did. This way the game we care about is 10 times more excited.

People who could be bothered hitting a disagree button on a website have small weeners, people who care that some small weenered loser on said website clicked a disagree button against them have only slightly larger weeners, but have the added complicity of being geeks, & for all the rest of you......you all have small weeners compared to mine anyhow.

MGS series is crap, just like the Halo, Gears, SF, VF, Tekken, Mario, SSB's, NG, GOW, Diablo, Fallout, COD, BF, Socom, FF, Oblivion, Bioshock, all console games in general, except Barbie's Horse Riding Adventures, & all pc games full f$#king stop.
Psycho_Mantis  +   291d ago
Wait a sec... since theres a lot of speculation as to way the image id flipped for a reason i have a theory on that. Reports came from the party from journalists states that there was a guy about to board a plane. And he was handing out XOF patches. XOF and FOX can very well create that war between Zero and Big Boss. XOF can mean something else and not just FOX spelled backwards. No... there could be something much more going on here. XOF could be Zeros own new unit instead to combat Big Boss's newly created FOX unit which would then lead into FOXHOUND. I think Ground Zeros may in fact take place over a period of time after all when you think about the details adding up here. I like the sound of this so we wont have to continually wait for the next installment of a requital. Having one prequel here that can take place over a set time period would make things great into Big Boss's back story.
