On all of Sony’s social media recently, they have teased the above image giving no context or reason.

Naturally, speculation has begin as to what the image could possibly mean, some of VGU’s favourites so far include:

• Since the image is a hybrid solar eclipse and the fact that one will happen this year on November 3rd something (perhaps even the PlayStation 4) will be released then.
• Assume that leap years begin in year 0 (they don’t, but it’s a good benchmark) 2001 is the year Half Life came out for PlayStation. 
  495 leap years since year 0 (not including 0) (2001/4 = 500 R1 (drop R); 2000/400 = 5, 500 -5 = 495) (every four hundred years a leap year is not counted)
  4 + 9 + 5 = 18 Make it a complex trinomial (3 terms; see where I’m going with this?), drop 18 for now so the discriminant formula can be used easily
  4x^2 + 9x +5 = 0
  Using the discriminant formula : b^2 – 4ac
  9^2 – 4(4)(5)
  81 – 80 = 1
  D > 0 Therefore there are two real roots

  Using the quadratic formula:
  X = -1.25, x = -1
  SUM OF ROOTS: -2.25
  -2.25 x -1 (root) = 2.25

  Bring back 18 from 4 + 9 + 5
  18 / 2.25 = 8
  5 leap years knocked off (400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000; remember 0 is not counted)
  8 – 5 is 3.Three Pictures.

  Half Life 3 Confirmed.

I don’t know about you but I think we can all agree, the Half Life 3 theory is rock solid! 

But what do you think? What could this image mean? What do you want it to mean? Let us know in the comments below!
