Sunny, Not Raiden, Will Star in Next MGS?

Gamervision writes: "Last night we reported that the Kojima countdown would end during Sony's press conference after finding an image of Raiden in Famitsu. We were sleepy, it was late, and we didn't realize something: that's not Raiden. If you look closely - look at the eyes - you can see that it's actually Metal Gear Solid IV's Sunny."

PS3 and PSP2 FTW.

[Kain81]

is it Official or is that your Opinion?
It would be Cool if it is a PS3 exclusive cause i dont want a Dumped down MGS.

[morganfell]

Indications from Famitsu are that it is a Sony exclusive.

Kojima said in the interview that it is a new system. Sony and it's a new system? What better way to push the new PSP2 than with a totally new game in the Metal Gear universe that is interactive with the PS3 version. It just seems logical.

[Kain81]

But Sev said that the New PSP is not a PSP2, more a Redesigne of the PSP without UMD, but with 8 and 16GB flash Drive.

[steel21]

It may not be for the psp GO!, Metal Gear games take years to develop and it could be a launch title for the actual psp 2.

[killax3563]

Plausible and interesting theory.

How much you want to bet that older Sunny will have an ultra, smoking hot body?

How awkward would that be?..... You see Sunny as an innocent little girl in MGS4 and then as an uber hot chick in MGS5 (or whatever they call it).

[Mainman]

I hope its not for PSP though. Its uncomfortable gaming on PSP and I rather have Kojima pro working on a console game instead of wasting there time on a handheld game.

Plus from the renders of Raiden and Big Boss look better than MGS4 renders, so I am thinking it is a PS3 game.

[Killjoy3000]

Wouldn't it be great if the project was a remake of both Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake?

[zoneofenders]

plz............kojima means the game will have a new system...

[Nodoze]

I don't see anything to indicate that this title is for the PS3. The original rumor from long ago was that the 360 would get MGS (not MGS 4, but a new Raiden specific MGS). Um this appears to be it. Additionally the rumour went on to report that the PS3 would get some form of DLC for MGS4 (including the long awaited trophy patch).

I have a feeling that there will be a ton of unhappy folks come E3 when Kojima is on stage with MS. I am sure they paid a devil's fortune to make it happen...but alas I think it has.

[zoneofenders]

There is 0 chance for it to be on XBOX360 exclusively and very low chance for multiplatform(at least not in japan)
you can check the scan of famitsu PS and famitsu Xbox in june.

[GrieverSoul]

Interesting theory from this site but I think the RAIDEN picture isn´t very feminin. But then again Raiden isnt very Masculin...

I´m confused! This EMO characters are hard to judge!

Also, everyone seem to discard a "symbol" in Raiden´s picture. Why is he covering is left eye?! What could that possibly mean?!

OFFTOPIC: I think thats not Raiden but Kakashi with the sharingan ready to kick patriots a**!

For the lulz!!!

[RememberThe357]

It's Raiden.

[Dir_en_grey]

Little Raiden Jr.!!
7 years after MGS4, rapid aging? Perfect Fit!!
Hehe well I'm not serious about that but just throwing another option out there. Well he IS a cyborg so maybe he can change his eye color to whatever he likes? =)

Been trying to reck my brain the whole night on who the Big Boss like picture could be if it's not Big Boss... I do wish for a Big Boss' new Outer Heaven Saga, but if it's not Big Boss then my only conclusion was that another clone was made from Solid after he died, rapid aged cuz of Foxdie...

Knowing how Kojima likes to fxck w/ people all the time, I can't wait to see the explanation he has for all these though =)

[tiamat5]

Sunny? As a cyborg ninja? Interesting. Maybe that 's why it's raining. When they reveal the game the rain will probably stop and the sun will come out. Get it? Rainy then Sunny. At first i thought it was raining because of Raiden's name (God of Rain and Lightning. After Old Snake it would be nice to see grown up Sunny fighting in tight body armor.

[LONEWOLF231]

Now this i can agree with sir.
Didnt Olga wore a similar suit to Grey Fox in MGS2???
Maybe sunny dons Raiden's suit. But we will see what happens.

[MetalGearBear]

it sunny?
it raiden's son?
it grey fox?
i am confused!!

[Pintheshadows]

Sunny will be the ultimate ninja egg frying queen. Tactical Egg Making Action confirmed.

[GrieverSoul]

Oh my God! It a wii game name Advanced-egg-frying-tactical-e spionage-simulation! Who start as a cook in a fancy restaurant in order to infiltrate outer heaven!

[pwnsause]

that would blow cooking mama out of the water.

[Raoh]

that's an interesting angle. well worth giving it the thought.

[artgamer]

rain turns to Sun, hmm, maybe...

[Foxgod]

Cyber Sunny ?
Hopefully Metal gear wont be getting a cyborg overdose, cyborgs are cool, but if half the cast gets turned into one....

[Flipfito]

Mommy + Daddy = Daughter/Son

Rose + Raiden = John

he has a son u know..

[sinncross]

This theory is so awesome... I loved Olga in MGS2, one of my fav characters in the MGS Universe.

I would love to play as her daughter who would be following in her footsteps (and Raidens).

[Tomonobu Itagaki]

So if the Raiden is actually Sunny...

then Big Boss is actually...

[Etseix]

LOL! hahaha... oh.. wait.. on MG world.. Kojima could make any strange things... and.. this could be true .. in a bizarre/weird way o_O (eyes are the same )

[Tomonobu Itagaki]

Same eyes, same eyebrows, same "fuuuu you've seen that wind outside?" haircut, and the beard is one step to another in beard evolution. I know Hideo's dealer, full of psilocybin mushroom powder.

[CaitSith]

But, what about the eyebrows? They're brown. Same as Raiden's picture in MGS4. =T

[mastemikegee]

what you all should be asking yourselves is: who is the enemy?

if the game is after mgs4 then who the hell is the enemy?

it's not liquid-ocelot!

[Etseix]

.. dam. ur mouth is full of.. true :l

since i saw ur message i never think on that lol,

maybe.... maybe... Snake will turn to be like Big Boss , and Raiden/ Sunny, are bosses, ... and those pic are not from our main characters .. theyr enemies .. well anything can happen right? lol

[DA_SHREDDER]

Im really sic of Metal Gear. I just want my Zone of the Enders. This is getting way outa hand already.

[kazan]

if i get to play a 50hr long MG game with multiplayer (my dream) it would be enough for me and i need no other game in my life

[lordv8der]

Does anyone have the numbers that sunny sings during the egg frying cutscenes in mgs4? any correlation with the numbers and letters in the teaser, just a shot in the dark...

[Ninjamonkey]

I always wanted to know what those numbers meant...

But seriosuly cant we have a game where the star is boss. WW2, no tech help. Otherwise were just getting the same MGS4, same scenery.

I know Kojima spent a lot of time making that engine. But i want a change of scenery, and I want to go back to no tech help. MGS3 is the best MGS game so far. And going back to WW2, fighting axis soilders with CQC. It would be great, and it would be a whole new take on WW2...

[trane07]

She had the same eyes as her daughter. And she's also been outfitted with an exoskeleton suit before. Could she be the one in the magazine?

Another thing, the mystery ninja's forehead is covered up in the same place olga was shot. Just a theory though.

[trane07]

Either its Gray fox, Olga gurlukovich, Or Gray fox's lover who he killed accidentally in Metal Gear 2.

[Crystallis]

Sunny's mom was a ninja so it would make sense that she'd follow suit.

[drdistracto707]

The king of viral marketing

[Pintheshadows]

But if that is Sunny, could it be that she finds out who killed her mum a goes on a mission of vengeance in the style of her hero Raiden.

[steck67]

The cyborg ninja may also be Raiden's son. But why would he become one? Same goes with Olga. For what purpose would they become a cyborg ninja? IDK... The cyborg ninja might be Raiden, it certainly looks like him. I think Sunny will also be in the game, but not as a ninja.

[antoinetm]

here goes : its Sunny and Otacon 10 years later!

[The_EE_God]

C-c-can I have seat?

[matts82173]

I really think Konami would be stupid not to put some sort of MGS on the 360. It has been this long and there has been this much hype? I mean, come on, it's a no-brainer. They stand to make tons of cash.

[Sarcasm]

It's not always about cash, otherwise MGS4 would have been on both 360 and PS3 at launch.

[Adonaeus]

Whaaa-? Okay, I'm done with this. No more wild speculation. Let's just wait for some definitive info.

[mcm]

I think you guys are reading a little too much into what Kojima said.
He said "the system of the game will be new." If you speak and understand Japanese and how they translate into English, he is saying that the IN game system will be new. Meaning how you play the game and NOT what console you will play it on.

[spike]

Its Master Chief
