I didn't quite believe this at first, but the news that the rumour came from PartnerNet (explanation in the linked article) has me reconsidering. So does anybody want to buy MGS again?

They would have to change the part where Ocelot tells Snake "press the circle button repeatedly".

I always wondered why they didn't just say "Action Button" like elsewhere in the game.

What did they do about that in the PC version?

For that particular version, all they did was cut out the part where Ocelot said to press the circle button, etc. and the part where he said something about submitting.

The keys were changed to pressing action key for life up, and select key for give up.

Does the Windows version have Ocelot and Snake's conversation about French torture methods prior to the torture event?

There are other parts in the game where they refer to PlayStation-specific button names such as in the Rappelling Event or whenever they mention the L or R buttons.

The audio is identical, they only changed the text.

Does the Windows version of MGS have Sneaking Suit Meryl? Nobody I know has ever managed to answer this clearly.

I believe so, but as of now I only saw Otacon's ending... I just got the game, but it strangely the game didn't ask to save nor showed my rank after the credits... Just went back to the title screen.

Another rumour that's come up is about a PSP game called "MetalGear 3: Revolver Ocelot". I don't believe this one to be true, as the rumour seems to have spread because of an image of an image with "MetalGear 3: Revolver Ocelot" written in the standard post-MGS2 font pasted over an image of an Ashley Wood illustration of Ocelot. The game is also supposed to take place between MetalGear 2: Solid Snake and MetalGear Solid: Portable Ops... wouldn't that be MetalGear 1, then?

It's fake, thank God. Payton said it.

It could be something like Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, which overlaps with the events of the original games.

I didn't really believe that rumor anyway. I mean, isn't MGS4 is supposed to be the end of the series?

Only the end of Hideo Kojima playing a creative role in the series.
Spoiler:
I doubt whoever creates the next one will have Snake as the protagonist, either.

Do you guys all think that the MGS will be any good if Kojima isn't the creative designer? I'd be worried they'd get less crazy and philosophical.

Plot-wise, I'm worried about the series, but as long as they don't deviate too far from the gameplay of MGS4, we should still end up with some very good new games (even if they aren't as strong as what's come before).
