People with a sharp eye may have noticed something odd in the new trailer of Metal Gear Solid 4. Although everyone is falling down and some people vomit, there is one guy who is still standing. Now, who is this guy?
Some people at the dutch website www.ps3only.nl may have discovered a clue. This guy has some gray hear in his neck and just above his glasses, which is very similar to the young snake-guy who appeared at the end of the trailer shown at the last Tokyo Game Show.
At the time, everybody thought this was Old Snake, playing around with his Octo-camouflage, but in the new trailer, Snake and this mysterious gray man are both appearing, so it seems this guy isn't Snake. But then, who IS he? Maybe Kojima will reveal him tomorrow, at the live demonstration of MGS4 in Tokyo.
Hit the hump to see some screens as evidence
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.
Maybe it was just Raiden...and that he was just using the ninja suit like Olga did in mgs2...but then again, maybe it IS olga. Or maybe it is Olga's son....god I can't wait for this game!
Can't wait for the demo tomorrow. I need to go back and finish MGS1 and 2.
Yeh I like the idea that its Olga's son, it would make sense in the MGS Saga, he would have been held long enough by the patriots to be that age, and snake promised to save him too in son's of liberty, so it would make him an ally of Snake's.
Good thinking erosevaporator
thats my guess... but raiden neva was the one to wear shades... hmm
This is Solid Snake's son.......O.0 He is a clone of Snake, just as Snake is a clone of Big Boss. I heard in a podcast from Hidechan's website that the theme in MGS 2 was about censoring information. And that this one was about 'passing on genes' to the new generation.
Besides, Olga died in front of Raiden in MGS 2 and Olga's son is about 6 years old if we follow the current events (The Tanker chapter incident takes place in 2007, at that time Olga was pregnant of her child so he was born presumably in 2008. The Big Shell incident takes place in 2009. MGS4 takes place 5 years after the Big Shell, so the boy isn't old enough to be that guy in the trailer).
I a really big fan of the Metal Gear series.
I own every (canonical) game:

Metal Gear games that I don't have (directly):
Metal Gear - NES (Bad port of the MSX and story is a little different than the true MSX game)
Snake's Revenge - NES (Non canonical game hated by most Metal Gear fans, but we must never forget that without this game Kojima would have never made Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and the further sequels to this great series)
Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel - GBC (Non canonical, but fun and good game. Looks alot like Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, I have this one on ROM)
