This is what MGS 4 killed. I'm glad we have it back. The nonsensical stuff, the crazy community theories. I love that..
How did MGS4 kill that? I recall a lot of stupid theories regarding "young Snake" the first time he appeared on the trailers. Hell, people were even saying it was an older Otacon, another clone (It's always another clone), a flashback, I even remember some time travelling theory.
When Peace Walker first appeared with the promo art of Big Boss' close up, people were saying he was an older Otacon in the future...
Metal Gear Rising also brought a lot of dumb theories when it was first shown. People were claiming that the main character was not Raiden, but Gray Fox. Some people even claimed it was an older Sunny... I also remember seeing some people saying it was Laughing Octopus or Raidens' son...
People always make crazy theories about what the next Metal Gear main character may be, and it's always a lot simpler than that. I'm certain that Big Boss is the protagonist in both Ground Zeroes AND The Phantom Pain. No "body doubles", no "clones", no nothing.
Anyways... Any news on Ground Zeroes' ending...?
