GDC: Raiden to headline next Metal Gear?

Will Raiden return to action as the leading character of Metal Gear Solid 5? A recent picture from Hideo Kojima's GDC 2009 keynote seems to suggest so.

At the end of Hideo Kojima's GDC keynote, the developer started talking about the future of the Metal Gear franchise and how a Western/Japanese hybrid method is what he envisioned for the series.

As he spoke, an animation played in the background. At point one the animation stopped with the words "the next MGS" and a conceptual picture of Raiden.

Raiden to headline next Metal Gear?

Is Raiden going to be the leading man of the next Metal Gear? What does this mean for Snake? Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!

I can't think of any other way to interpret that other than Raiden being the focus of the next Metal Gear game. After his revamped appearance in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, I say bring it on.

it would be cool if Raiden took the lead role in an expansion pack or if he do take the lead role again all hail Raiden.
