Rumour: Kojima’s “orange box” revealed in new Famitsu [Update]
Update: There another video after the break showing a virtual can of soda with Ocelot’s face stamped on it. Thanks, mart.
The back of the latest Famitsu appears to have thrown up a serious hint that the new Kojima project is a Metal Gear title.
Watch the video after the break. It shows a webcam pointed at the magazine bringing up a cardboard box topped with an orange exclamation mark.
Remember: rumour. It may well be fake.
E fucking 3, baby. Thanks, Shatner.

I can’t see Hideo jumping on the “Orange Box” wagon. However perhaps this is MGS4 – “Subsistance” or as it could be called “MGS4 : Sustenance”. Which would play along with the can etc.
Highly doubt it’s MGS5

Its a fake.
-Look at the famitsu cover (2nd video). wtf, 2008?
-Then look at the right bottom corner in the 2nd video at 0:45. Hit Lab logo (http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/Home)
-why in the first one the question mark page give the orange box and then THE SAME question mark give the can?

@Zarckan: Konami did register “Metal Gear Solid Existence”… which is what the next one is most likely to be.

this is a screenshot of the HitLab AUTHORING TOOL for Non Programmers. Look at the logo

It must be a bundle of all the MGS for PS3 and 360, can’t see any other options. They would make millions on something like that.

@jonarob: Eye of judgement did that sort of thing in 2007. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were earlier examples too.

Lesson of the day: Don’t trust anything Shatner sends you.
But yes, jonarob, this sort of this is possible, with the right software and hardware.

I can see that appealing to the Trek fans.
