May 26, 2009 - While the Kojima Productions teaser site is still teasing away in anticipation of what will presumably be a big E3 unveil for the Metal Gear studio's next project, leaks from this week's Famitsu appear to have spoiled the surprise.
The magazine has an interview with Metal Gear series father Hideo Kojima who says that he's serving as director and designer on the new game, which the magazine confirms to be a new Metal Gear Solid title. While not giving away the title, Kojima does say that it's a proper entry series.
The big reveal from the last teaser site update was an image of Big Boss. The Famitsu report also shows an image of Raiden. We presume this image will appear at the site when the new countdown strikes zero on Monday.
As for the actual content of the interview, it's a bit difficult to make out what's said as Famitsu censored the text by covering up key characters with white circles.
Here's what happens when we translate some of the text while keeping the circles in place (replaced with Xs):
Famitsu: Is the generation XXX?
Kojima: No, it's XXX. If I were to say it all, perhaps XXXXX. I'm currently doing the game design and direction.
Famitsu: Really!
Kojima: I believe Japan will be the focus, but it will be sold throughout the world. Within me, this is XXXX. I won't say it's X, but I am making a proper story, and it is being made by the MGS4 staff.
Famitsu: Really! That's amazing.
Elsewhere, the interview touches a bit upon the content of the game:
Kojima: The mark on the old man's hat is very important
Famitsu: This mark is different from a fox. It's like a world map.
Kojima: Not just the mark, but the game systems are also new.
Famitsu: Is it XX-XXXXXXXXXX?
Kojima: Yes. We'll be doing stuff that one would expect of XXXXXXX. XXXX and so-forth are obvious, so those will be included. Uh-oh... I said stuff that was unplanned (laughs)
Famitsu also asked Kojima about the setting. "The setting is XXXXXXX," responded Kojima. Apparently, something called "XXXXXXXXX" happened in this location, leaving it as a "XXXXX" country.
Confused? That's probably the point!
If we have any sudden revelations about all those Xs, or if other areas of the interview yeild anything newsworthy, we'll let you know

Thanks to Zokie for posting @ Gamescore :D
UPDATE: Apparently, not Raiden, it’s actually Gray Fox. If you read the scans carefully, Gray has red eyes where Raiden had blue. This one has the former.
UPDATE 2: Oh god, now we’re getting confused. PlayStation Insider has translated it and while there is no mention of Raiden, there is also no mention of Gray Fox. It’s 7 years after the events of MGS4 (by which time, we assume Snake died).
