PS3clan solved the new Metal Gear puzzle

Everywhere you can read about Famitsu, Big Boss, the old man, Kojima Productions NEXT and teaser site, Metal Gear Raiden, etc. But nobody seems to figure it out.

But think logic. Picture of Big Boss? Hideo speaks of the old man. It's not Big Boss, it's Solid Snake! Look at his military hat. No Foxhound logo but something completely different. Check out the link for more 'answers'.

Outer Heaven... And yes! That very well could be Solid/Old Snake, prospectively disguised as Big Boss.

Here is what everyone seems to be missing. Kojima said the game was on a new system. Yet Famitsu points to the game to be Sony exclusive.

IS IT REALLY SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT EVERYONE?

MGS5 WILL BE TWO INTERACTIVE TITLES. ONE FOR THE PS3 AND ONE FOR THE PSP2.

1.4 - PSP2?
PSP has plenty of life left. And why would they announce a game for an unnanounced handheld anyway? Unless they announce both at E3. I can't hit the link since I'm at work but if you can tell me where did you get your PSP2 conclusions I'll gladly read it.

@ Morgenfell,

No PSP2 for at least 2 more years.

The PSP is very much still alive and kicking, and is about to get it's best lineup ever.

i think ts the big boss, if you've read the metal gear database, you would be familiar with this passage. This is a massive plot sequence leading on from the events of operation snake eater (MGS3) take note after he lost his right eye. Also after assumng command of special forces group FOXHOUND.

the passage..

"In 1972, he provided his genes to the patriots for thier les enfant terribles project. Three clones of big boss were created. however, Big boss himself was outraged by the way his DNA was used and broke off from the patriots. he became a lone solidier drifting from country to coutry.
He joined LRRO (long-range reconnaissance patrol) in vietnam and fought alongside SOG (special operations group), The green berets, and the wild Geese. Later, he became a mercenary who appeared in numerous territorial and ethnic conflicts around the world. He achieved near-mythical status. after that, he served as a combat instructor and worked to reintegrate former child soldiers into society."

now that right there is a killer story line for MGS5...

EDIT: on top of that this new teaser picture of the big boss shows him wearing a green beret, which speaks for itself given the above passage. also in 1972, the end of MGS3 he is said to be in his fifties, which to some may constitute as being an old man.

I think Kojima means a new gameplay system(FPS?)the translation seems to have gotten people confused.

@Sev

While I don't know if this game will be for a new PSP or not (I would much prefer a PS3 game), I do know that if there is a PSP2 reveal at E3, it probably wouldn't be out for a couple of years anyway, as is the case with most first revealed info about a new gaming system.

PS3: Raiden Game.

PSP: New portable ops game.

Both will share links to each other.

Plot will be around Philosopher's Legacy and where it is after MGS4. Raiden's going in with Snake in his ear to tell him how to get the job done. The symbol on the hat is probably for the organization that Otacon and Snake made(forget the name) in order to stop Metal Gears.

Snake said at the end of MGS4 there's still one thing left he has to do, and I can't think of anything better then to help stop what started most of the MGS plots which is the Philosophers Legacy's money. Without the cash no new power can rise up again to try and make Outer Havens or rule jack sh^t somehow. Snake's old and tired of fighting, but he can't just do nothing about this issue so with Raiden's help they'll stop this mess once and for all.

I think Jink is spot on about the big boss picture, think it would be either a remake of the original msx version or some other mission from that time (in the mgs universe) probably for the psp

The raiden images in famitsu will show soon on the countdown clock on the teaser site. I think they are about the next ps3 mgs probably starring raiden. (It could also be Gray Fox)

Im kinda hoping i am wrong, i dont own a psp and a big boss adventure on ps3 would be awesome!

Isn't it obvious. It will be on the Wii. A return to the company that Metal Gear first played on. Hideo is going to get on stage, and waggle his snake around.

Solid Snake had the fake eye patch over his left eye, Big Boss and that picture on the teaser site has it on the right eye. so unless some thing happened between MGS 2 and MGS 4 to Solid Snakes right eye, temporarily having Solid Snake to wear one on the right, we'll just have to wait and see. but it could be just of Kojima's tricks.

...doesn't have a blue eye. Big Boss (John) does have a blue eye.

This new game is a remake of the original Metal Gear from MSX console.

3.8 - It will only make sense...
That it's a story between MGS 2 and MGS 4.

I mean, we dont know what happened there... example, how the hell Raiden became a cyborg.

There are still questions yet to be answered.

and i agree about, snake wearing eye patch on both his eyes, and will still be deadly in combat.

His eye doesn't get injured at all, at the graveyard he can still see perfectly.

Plus he's younger in that pic anyway, there isn't a cure for aging. You can't unscramble an egg.

7.2 - Modest-Genious is modest (and has a point)
Very true. And besides, Solid has gray eyes, while Big Boss had blue eyes. And the guy in the picture? Blue eyes. The facial features are more Big Bosses than Solid's as well, especially around the mouth. Solid has a much narrower Jaw.

As for the patch, it is extremely similar to Outer Heavens original logo of the flying skull, and we have to remember that he turned Foxhound INTO Outer Heaven, or rather it became a part of the greater whole.

As for Raiden's picture, only the mechanical jaw is Raideney. The rest fails to resemble post MGS4 Raiden. It may seem like a stretch, and it probably is, but I'm going to hold out on that being Gray Fox, since we really haven't seen a good picture of Null from the Outer Heaven era.

10 - Okay this is another theory.
Some of you who've been listening to the KP Report (podcast) for a long time now might remember the story as to why Metal Gear Solid 2 had Raiden as a main character.

Well if you dont ill tell you, it was during a playtest for Metal Gear Solid where on of the tester was a young lady who kept complaining why the main character wasnt young and kept refering him to a...yes, old man.
(And Kojima talked to the producer and chose to make a young man for the sequel, leading to Raiden, but thats irrelevant)

However throughout most podcasts Ryan Payton & Ken Imaizumi would always say 'Old man' to Snake, even when Kojima guested on one of the episodes he also said 'Old man' to Snake.

I Think she said Snake is ugly and thats why he created raiden... thanks to her we now have a suicidal cyborg ninja thou... anyway this does'nt solve nothing, it can be just aswell Metal Gear 1-2 remakes or more background for Big Bosses history... but I don't think that's snake in the picture... Snake and Big Boss don't look too much like each other, Big Boss is clearly more rugged... but someone should look closely on the emblem on the barret to see if it belongs to the Green Barrets.

11 - Very Possible Theory!! *READ*
Ok guys, i came up with a theory that i think makes a lot of sense..
Raiden saved sunny from the patriots, we all know that.. but we also came to know that SOLID SNAKE helped Raiden in saving Sunny. Later in Raiden's quest of saving sunny, he was captured by the PATRIOTS. Snake's pre-mature aging phase was starting, therefore that picture's character is no one but Solid Snake himself. Everyone knows he looks very similar to Big Boss, therefore he disguised himself as Big Boss in order to fool the patriots in thinking that he is Big Boss himself. Doing this he can easily save sunny from the patriots!

This is Snake... he'll go save Sunny/ Raiden/ the world as himself.

yea, its an ok theory but i dont see why solid snake would need to disguise himself as big boss, i mean through mgs4 he's lead to believe big boss is dead (until he sees the body on life support, which turns out not to be him anyway)

i think the picture is of big boss not snake.

Solid Snake just had a little cosplay fetish... of his dead daddy... =)

I'm just kidding, but knowing Kojima this might not be so absurd...
Kojima did say there will be no more story on Solid Snake though.
