I'm intrigued by the whole "infitrating circumstances" thing. I got hooked loads on MGS after playing MGS3! IMHO the best PS2 game to date.
I remember thinking that Far Cry instincts was "environmentally" like a MGS3 FPS. MGS4 seems to be like a very interesting game. I cant wait, but I must. At first I thought there was going to be a really big surprise, like say, Ocelot is wearing the bandana, and tight suit thing. I had pondered whether you were playing as Ocelot or not. I kind of think, also, that the new Metal Gear will be an Aerial one. Like a metal dragon that shoots nukes out of its mouth!
The explenation doesn't surprise me, since Liquid actually said something along the same lines in the beginning of MGS2. However, I must say that making Snake old is a rather interesting and new thing for games, since heroes in games usually stay young, or arn't a main charatcer when they turn old.
You know, I just thought of something: there may be a possibility that there will be a razor in MGS4, just like in the normal and above difficulties in MGS2.
Yeah, but you know, Liquid takes over Ocelot Body with its DNA, but since Liquid is also a clone of big boss, wouldn't Ocelot's life be shortened? a razor in mgs2? what are you talking about? Yeah, i like that too. At first it was pretty weird...But then, i thought that it was an unpredictable move by konami, Something you wouldn't expect. It just makes the character more human. I wouldn't be surprised if snake would die at the end of mgs4.
Yeah, there was a razor in MGS2. Play until the Plant part with Raiden on Normal or above difficulty, then head to the closed off area where you first start out at. There will be a razor that you can give to Snake during a cutscene that will cause him to be shaved by the end of the game.
