The countdown has completed, but now what? Kojima Productions replaced one countdown with another. So we will see in a little over 199 hours or a little over 8 days 120 hours or 5 days. At least it wasn’t a Rick Roll.

[Update] There are a few more messages in the rain:  3 5 E e  Seems to indicate MGS5 at E3.  Not sure what the Lower Case E means.

  1. damn you kojima. i knew you would do something like this

  2. Brent says:

    There better be a good reason for doing this.

  3. lol good thing u changed it Richard, cause I sure as hell wasnt gonna wait 199 days :D

  4. The countdown to a countdown of another countdown…

  5. JonhX says:

    The next countdown will be showing a snow field or what? hope this to be worth the wait because i hate this kind of publicity. Now it shows the same 5 or s, a 3, an E and what it looks like an inverted 9, what would it mean?

  6. The countdown is 119 hours not 199 hours.

  7. KyleSF92 says:

    We first had 5 symbols, cloud,lightning,rain,sun and one more snow?(can’t remember)
    We see these in the loading screen and and then it changes so i suppose its obvious now but we can expect to see these other symbols become part of the site/frame during the remaining countdowns such as first was the clouds, second lightning and now third rain
    This better be a worth while announcment!!

  8. Kyle P. says:

    Damn! I wanted some news, but I guess this is alright.

  9. Max Power says:

    i wonder why it was 199 hours then changed to 119

  10. Max Power says:

    the “lower case” also bothers me, it doesn’t quite fit.

  11. I really hope Kojima is not working on another MGS game. Leave that series at least for now. I want a new Policenauts and Snatcher then in a few years there could be a new MGS game or instead a new ZOE.

  12. SolidCake_ says:

    maybe MGS for the new PSPgo?

  13. Maybe it is 5@E3! It would be kinda hard to do the @ in the block lettering…

  14. Or maybe it’s the evidence of its Sony exclusivity: if the “5″ turns out to be an “S”, it would be: S@E3, or “Sony at E3″. Probably the rendezvous place where Kojima will make his announcement: the massive Sony booth at E3… Let’s hope for the best!

  15. KwietStorm says:

    MGSE (rotate the 3 for the M, flip the e for g) – Metal Gear Solid Existence … as in Substance(MGS2), Subsistence(MGS3)…

  16. Leksa says:

    lower-case -e is 9 means E3 ’9 – 5 means (E3 2009 – 5 (MGS) )

  17. 35Ee or 3SEe
    63SE or 635E (upside-down)
    32E6 (mirror vertical)
    932E (mirror horizontal)
    W[?]M[?] (sideways)

  18. Sneeches says:

    5@E3 – New metal gear, you wait and see.

  19. BigDchamps says:

    And ……… we wait more!!! WOW!!! Just can’t wait till E3!

  20. supersi84 says:

    In japan a small ‘e’ is the symbol for ‘snake’ or it could also be ‘S’ony ‘e’ntertainment E3 but the ‘e’ would be a capital so i don’t really think its that.

    My patience will be rewarded soon, again?
