Kojima Productions wants you to get talking about its next Metal Gear project.
What on earth does this image, currently displayed on the developer's website, mean? Besides, of course, that its mastery of the English language has gone downhill since the departure of Ryan Payton? It's a clue to where the next game in the storied series will end up. Speculation is running rampant. This is what we're hearing:
1up.com says the green color might refer to the Xbox 360, and repeats the rumor that made the cover of EGM a while back -- that Metal Gear Solid 4 will end up on Microsoft's console. If it's not that, says the site, it could be a port of the original Solid for Xbox Live Arcade.
In the NeoGAF thread, at least one person has speculated that the lowercase i stands for iPhone, and that the exclamation point is from the logo of Metal Gear Acid, meaning that the strategy series might end up on Apple's new toy. I kind of like that explanation.
Somebody else said that the i is "in the Wii font," which I think we can all agree is a bit too much wishful thinking.
