Hideo Kojima Demystifies Pre-E3 Cryptic Messages
Hideo Kojima, in a recent interview with WorthPlaying, discussed the pre-E3 Kojima Productions teaser site that sent the internet into a frenzy. While many had speculated as to what the meaning was behind the letters, and numbers (which flashed breifly every so often while viewing the teaser site), nothing was confirmed until now.
Hideo Kojima:
5=it is an MGS5 class game
S=Snake
å·³ï¼snake in Kanji
E=E3
R=Raiden
3=3 from 360 and E3
6=6 from 360
P and S=PSP and adding 3 makes it PS3
-Aside from the Snake and Raiden visuals, we featured a total of 10 “symbols” and when all of these are rearranged, they form connections to the announcements that we made at E3.
The first symbols that appeared were the number “5″ and the letter “S” for Snake that represented PW which, to me, is a “5″ class title. “å·³” not only hints at the lowercase lettering of “E” for E3, but it is the kanji for the word “snake.” Also, the symbol that appeared at the very end is the kanji “®—¥” and represents a sunny background and the sunrise that links to Rising.
The “Rising” of “Metal Gear Solid Rising” implies “the sun rising,” “the sun shining,” and “the sun shining on Raiden” that was revealed in the visuals on the HP. In addition, “Rising” also represents how “Metal Gear Solid” will be taking the next step up.

WTF? Is this guy on shrooms?
I don’t know what Japanese font you’re using but it isn’t working for me.
maybe the site doesn’t support Japanese.
日本語で書いてる、読める？
Rising also describes the Last Scene in MGS4 (the eggs).
So when are we going to get that video, it never was released 6 months after the game launched (when someone was supposed to run out of time)
That means we may be infected by the MIMIs or Machines or FoxDIE or whatever.
