Kojima finally explains his wacky countdown site

Posted by Mister-X on July 16th, 2009 at 05:30pm

Remember when Kojima's countdown ended ... and started another countdown? Man, that was fun! The creator of the Metal Gear series seemingly had a big laugh as he teased gamers all the way to his E3 announcements: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP, Metal Gear Solid: Rising for PS3 and Xbox 360, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

As the countdown continued, the site featured a number of symbols that flashed on the screen. Many of you attempted to break the code ... but were you successful? Kojima just revealed what each of those symbols was supposed to mean:

• 5 = it is an MGS5 class game
• S = Snake
• 巳＝snake 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

Once again, Kojima asks gamers: "Did you like it?" We think we can speak for most gamers when we say ... "no."
