General Gaming / RE:Metal Gear Solid 3 Theories

>>"The main thing being that Ocelot looks different than Snake... acts differently... has a different voice... and a different build."<<

I would say that Liquid has a much different voice than Snake, wouldn't you? I would also say that Solidus had a different build then Snake, wouldn't you? Also, I speculated on the fact that Ocelot could have been a child of Big Boss, not necessarily a clone.

>>The hints in the pamphlet were very subtle, and from the action on the screen, you would have no idea that it wasn't Snake you were watching.<<

Very subtle? They flashed '1960's' all over the place! Unless Snake is going back through time (and let's pray he isn't),  it was plainly obvious this isn't the same Snake.  The allusions to it being Big Boss are TOO obvious.

Listen, I'm just speculating. I just thought it would be a cool thing to do with the story. I would rather be surprised by the storyline than have Snake end up being Big Boss. Wouldn't you?

I would agree that the Snake in MGS3 is Big Boss, except for the fact that Kojima wouldn't give so many hints unless it wasn't true. If you've ever played MGS or MGS2, you'll know that Kojima loves playing mind games with his audience (i.e. Psycho Mantis [MGS1] and every plot twist in MGS2). That's why I think theories for MGS3 require a little more than superficial observation.

General Gaming / Metal Gear Solid 3 Theories

   A lot of people have been saying that they think you play as Big Boss in MGS3. I happen to think that you play as Ocelot, and I'll tell you why:

1. The game takes place in Russia in the 1960's (according to images from the trailer), the height of the Cold War. This could explain some storylines for Ocelot. Ocelot quote from MGS2:
Ocelot: "Mother Russia can ROT for all I care."
Gurlukovich: "When did you turn?"
Ocelot: "I abandoned her during the Cold War."

2. The character looks like Snake. Ocelot could be another project of Les Enfants Terribles, maybe the original clone, or maybe a son of Big Boss. Here's why: Ocelot has Liquid Snake's arm attached to him in MGS2. How else could Ocelot's body accept this arm, unless they had similar genetic information?

3. The Snake in MGS3 looks younger than Snake in MGS2. Since MGS3 takes place in the 60's, assuming the Snake in MGS3 is 20-30 years old, that would make Ocelot the age he is now.

4. MGS2's cliffhanger has to do with the patriots, and Ocelot is working for them, as far as we know.

5. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. An ocelot (small tiger/large cat) in the wild eats snakes.

Plus, I think that MGS3 will do a Godfather Pt. II kind of storyline, switching from the 60's era to the present day (2010?) era of MGS.

Any thoughts/theories?

Nintendo Gaming / Mega Man Anniversary Collection Question

« on: September 27, 2003, 07:06:57 AM »

Hi all-

Does anyone know whether Mega Man 1-6 on the MM Aniversary Collection will be the original versions from the NES or the versions from the PSX re-released in Japan only (These versions had updated graphics/music)?
