How about the flying flaming skull in MGS3?
Not a hallucination.
Snake Eater is not meant to be taken literally. Remember in MGS4? Zero embellished the stories of Big Boss to make him a bigger hero than he really was.
MGS3 is the exaggeration of Operation Snake Eater to turn Big Boss into an Icon and a legend. There was no Volgin, no exploding flaming skull heads and levitating pads. All made up.
Because just imagine you send your best soldier into the field, he comes back to the debriefing, he sits down and you ask him "What happened".
"Well, the Boss was there, and she was with this guy, and then, get this: THE GUY STARTS SHOOTING LIGHTNING OUT OF HIS FUCKING HANDS" "What? No way!? That didn't show up on the intel?!" "Yeah totally, and then, get this, there was this other guy, he fucking had these BEES right!" "Bees?!" "Yeah, fucking bees, and he made a machine gun out of them and he would fucking shoot me" "Holy shit, this all sounds plausible and not crazy at all!" Yadda yadda.
Talking straight out of your ass you are.

This would only work if the series wasn't so explicitly campy and silly with themes of supernatural and magic technology. I don't mind the idea of information control and exaggerated history, even from the perspective of playing. After all, this is kinda what MGS2 tried to do with Snake being a secondary character you watch rather than play.
But not for MGS3. At least, not until Kojima decides to retcon it.
Oh, I don't know that it's so impractical. I said the same thing earlier in the thread and noted that it might actually make good sense to do mini-sodes of Metal Gear. Little test projects to put Fox Engine through its paces on current-gen platforms in a familiar universe. And maybe these episodes would be done by different teams across the globe, some by Kojima's team and some by the new American studio as it's starting up ... maybe even some by a company that really did start in Sweden (because otherwise, it's kind of a racist joke, even if it is on-white racism, to just say that 'Kojima' misspelled looks funny and swedish,) all working together with a common engine and asset set.
Dude WTH are u on? are u being serious?
Okie, just got in the thread and saw this:
someone be kind enough to tell me how Cyprus is involved in this? I don't have the time to read this whole thread since I'm at work
How strange. I might have to play this if my country is involved :lol
never been into MGS games that much so I don't really know how this ties in

Ill see if i can make a video detailing everything we have found later this week. The chronological trailer someone made was awesome.
It seems the hospital Big Boss was being treated at is located in one of the British territories there. That's all we know.
Well
Sniper Wolf call Big Boss Saladin,Wolf and the real Saladin are both Kurd, Cyprus is very close to Kurdistan region.
Big Boss will need to be near Kurdistan/Iraq/Turkey at sometimes of his life to get that nickname and meet Sniper Wolf.
A tiny bit. But it being a "swedish" joke, it's just cheap and seems out of all the design that went into this presentation, having a "gee, Kojima sounds funny spelled wrong?" joke is low-ball and out of place. I'm not sure there's supposed to be a clue in the Sweden reference, but if it's just a joke, GAF has done a ton of work on a lot of aspects of this teaser and that avenue is curiously fruitless as just as way to hide the letters "joakim".
But... It's not about 'sounding funny' it's an anagram for a legit Swedish name that has the same origin as Joaquin and a dozen other variations.

I don't know if that's why they decided on the Swedish theme, but racist?

In sweden (and Cyprus) they have name days.. The name day for Joakim is the 20th. March..
Fair enough, I didn't know it's a legit name. Just saying, the first thing kids do when they scramble letters is say what kind of funny foreigner accent it sounds like. It's kind of below Kojima, although if it's a normal name then that's clever at least, and if Sweden is actually supposed to be a clue then all the better.
Carry on.
Made me lol. So was that 100% confirmed Keifer Sutherlands voice?

Getting silly now, but what's he doing in this pose? Looking at his bare arm?
Is that a join or random Shinakwa line, you decide!
Sou you think Sweedish names sound like generic funny foreigner sounds, isn't that racist?
if they're getting nearer to shadow moses in the timeline i hope they go with a more electro synth soundtrack like they did with the first mgs.
those pounding ominous synth baselines sounded like they were straight from The Thing, or Escape from New York. Set the scene so well for Shadow Moses and made the whole place seem 10 x spookier.

True that. I think FOXHOUND will show in the game as bosses, so Big Boss will convince them to join Outer Heaven in the end. Also, I'm not arguing/doubting you - but where is it said that Sniper Wolf gives the name? I know Big Boss gives himself the name at the end of thecredits.Peace Walker
OMG is this the first time Kojima used the word "lol"?
That must be a hint!
Who's the guy in the bottom left? Might be the first time he uses the Japanese lol equivelant "w" but I somehow doubt it...

During Wolfs death speech in MGS1.
Its where my username came from
EDIT: The context of the scene is basically Snake giving her a nice speech before she dies and she sees his resemblance to Big Boss (Saladin)
Also, Horse Statue:
"Ramp up the exposure, and the horse statue looks similar to the statue of Saladin in Kerak, Jordan."
Very interesting that you brought that up. CVG has a great dissection of the trailer, with some images brightened up to see more clearly.
