Multiple snakes

Post by BrianM »

A while ago people were fussing over the changes of snake's appearance from video to video. While it's obvious that Snake would undergo changes throughout the making of the game, there may be another explanation.

Obviously the Snake in the e3 2k3 video looks much more like snake in mgs2sol. We now know that there will be snake tales. Possibly some of the clips were taken from one of the snake tales in which Snake parachutes into a forest somewhere, while other clips are from the intro to Virtuous Mission, as seen in the demo.

Although this seems kinda like a stretch, if you look closely you'll notice that when he lands, he falls much more vertically, barely clearing a large stump (rather than the almost 30 degree landing he makes in Virtuous mission). Also, some of the shots are clearly from the demo's intro, while some of the shots appear to look much more like a forest than a jungle.

Just a thought

I was curious about this too, but I found out that the snake before the CQC trailer was just an early build of naked snake. Everything from that first demo was like a beta run. Yes there are two missions, the mission to save solkolov(virtuos meaning moral) and the mission to kill the boss and destroy metal gear(snake eater). The main character for the whole story is confirmed as big boss. In the mini games you get to play as solid snake though.
