Translation?

A new Metal Gear game was revealed in leaked Famitsu scans. Since then, people have been rushing to try to translate the article and get some details on the new title. Here is what we've found so far.

It's going to be 1 game PSP and 1 PS3 with interconnectivity between the two. They hinted at advances in story by playing through both. The New Metal gear takes place about 7 years after MGS4. That is not Big Boss, that is actually his most recent clone. I'll give you a hint, he played a roll in MGS, MGS2, MGS4. The deceptive part is his age, over the last 7 years his aging has been rapid (posibly Akiba?)

No mention of Raiden that is all. Thx Vega
That guys Goukis translation was on point with this guy not being Big Boss.

 

[DXPetti]

Was Akiba in MGS2 though?

EDIT: Wiki confirms Voice Only appearance

 

[Ether_Snake]

Les Enfants Terribles. What if there was another program similar to this? That might explain why Raiden of MGS4 and this character (Grey Fox???) look alike...

There was one, see MPO. Perfect Soldier program. The link to Gray Fox was already confirmed it that regard in the database, as Raiden was subjected to the Perfect Soldier program just like Gray Fox was in MPO.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Looks like Grey Fox to me too, he was blind from a eye. Raiden alwayes had both intact.

He only became blind during the fight against Rex.

 

[kairu]

I could not be more excited about this year's E3

 

[soldat7]

OK here's a crazy thought...what if this is actually SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!

 

[Bit-Bit]

So lets recap from what I can remember about the games and some of the missing parts of Raiden using the database.

Raiden goes to find Sunny at the end of MGS2. He rescues her and gets captured by the Patriots who than proceeds to turn him into a cyborg ninja. He than at some point is rescued by Paradise Lost and asked to steal both Solidus' and Big Boss' body.

Ether Snake's theory about Raiden reliving parts of Big Boss' life makes the most sense to me from the way that Raiden acts in MGS4 and how Raiden has previously relived Solid Snakes mission of Shadow Moses.

I'm willing to bet that in order to find out where Big Boss' body is hidden, Raiden must relive important key points of Big Boss' life and learn what Big Boss had learn.

Kind of like Harry having to find the Horcuxes in Harry Potter by using Voldemort's memory, if you will.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Was Akiba in MGS2 though?

Johnny is in every MGS in some form or another.

 

[DrPirate]

Was Akiba in MGS2 though?

You have to use the directional mic, but he sure is in there. It's in the scene with Emma traversing the oil fence.

 

[TTP]

While I'm not doubting your speculation, according to the MGS Database, Raiden infiltrates Area 51 in collaboration with Paradise Lost, gets Sunny extracted, but he gets captured, and is tested on and turned into a cyborg, filled with controlling nanos. He is then later saved by Paradise Lost, and Dr. Madnar, the cybernetics expert, helps Raiden recover as his bad-nanos are removed from his body.

I want to play all of this. Please Kojima.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I think its a retro game, Big Boss & Grey Fox

In the game you'll find out that Grey Fox had a son named Jack

 

[RavenFox]

He only became blind during the fight against Rex.

Raiden never had eye damage either. So who is Raiden a clone of? Also why eyes turn from blue to brown?Since our old man in the scan is also a clone? I think the answer is obvious. E3 is going to own us.

 

[SRG01]

No mention of Raiden that is all. Thx Vega

Can't be Akiba. He's blonde. Eyepatch guy has brown hair.

 

[kairu]

Was Akiba in MGS2 though?

EDIT: Wiki confirms Voice Only appearance

Yeah, when solidus and ocelot are talking (and you're in the hostage room) if you use the directional mic and look off to the left you can hear akiba having some troubles in the bathroom.

 

[MCermak]

Yeah, why couldn't it be snake. I mean, he certainly looked like he could super age and die soon. But who else is a clone of big boss, played parts in mgs1 2 and 4 and rapidly aged?

 

[Darkpen]

Was Akiba in MGS2 though?

EDIT: Wiki confirms Voice Only appearance

Akiba appears only as a voice clip during the scene where you have the microphone mid-Agent Ames cutscene. He's off to the left, having diarrhea.

 

[VegaShinra]

Can it be him?

 

[DrPirate]

Akiba appears only as a voice clip during the scene where you have the microphone mid-Agent Ames cutscene. He's off to the left, having diarrhea.

he also encounters emma behind one of the base of the struts, and he has to run off to the bathroom. It's a pretty funny dialogue though.

 

[TalonsOfJustice]

It's not Akiba guys. Definitely not. If it is, I'm not playing this game. I hated that guy.

 

[SRG01]

Akiba appears only as a voice clip during the scene where you have the microphone mid-Agent Ames cutscene. He's off to the left, having diarrhea.

No, he also appears during the bridge crossing when you have to protect Otacon's sister.

edit: beaten

 

[Darkpen]

He only became blind during the fight against Rex.

While I don't think that's Gray Fox (purely based on the refinement of the robot parts that Raiden has in comparison to Gray Fox), you do see that Gray Fox has one blind eye during the cutscene before he ultimately loses the eye.

 

[Blablurn]

fuck, i'm so excited. hopefully it comes for ps3. although a new psp wouldn't be that bad either.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I GOT IT! Otocon sends Raiden back to the pasy to warn Big Boss about the future. McG will direct the game.

 

[RavenFox]

He only became blind during the fight against Rex.

No more Raiden talk

 

[EmCeeGramr]

If this is a game starring Johnny, and it reveals that he's a Big Boss clone, then Kojima can just go to Hell. There, I said it.

 

[Dreweyes]

Kojima's playing a practical joke, I know it!

Aaaaaaaand can we finally settle this arguement?

Blue Eyes!

Brown Eyes!

Blue Eyes!

 

[Turk]

If this is a game starring Johnny, and it reveals that he's a Big Boss clone, then Kojima can just go to Hell. There, I said it.

I hope he does it. The fan breakdowns on gaf will be worth it.

 

[RavenFox]

Yup and Raiden's blonde hair. Gray Fox white hair. Its damn obvious now.

 

[Ether_Snake]

you can only do that by travelling to the past (assuming one playable character of course).

Or by reliving the memories.

Look at this trailer of MGS3, it was one of the first MGS3 trailers, probably at a time when the "relive the memories" idea was still no scrapped.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2k4-mgs3-snake/87

They explicitly show the sequence where Snake says "We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our sad and messy history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing"

It was planned early to be to a digitized memory of Big Boss, even the promotional campaign had "Relive the memories", and the MGS Digital Graphic Novel website still has the old "Memory Rebuilding Process" interface, which practically proves that this was originally planned:

http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs_dgn/index_en.html

MENTAL SEARCH MODE

MEMORY BUILDING SIMULATION

This was even before Assassin's Creed, it was an idea Kojima was exploring a while ago.

This idea was strongly supported, it still makes perfect sense, heck, even more.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

and johnny is a big boss clone and raiden is a gray fox clone and kojima is a stupid crazy man clone

 

[Ether_Snake]

Kojima's playing a practical joke, I know it!

He has his jaw, he has a different suit, etc.

 

[Hy_]

If this is a game starring Johnny, and it reveals that he's a Big Boss clone, then Kojima can just go to Hell. There, I said it.

Pretty sure that was revealed in the first MGS.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Holy 500 errors batman. Is MGS news really bringing GAF to it's knees? It's not even E3 yet.

Damn Snake your the man. You even get an Assasins creed outfit in the MGS4. Looks like Kojima is up to a whole lot.

 

[Darkpen]

Actually Raiden has pretty white hair in MGS4.

 

[IamMattFox]

The deceptive part is his age, over the last 7 years his aging has been rapid (posibly Akiba?).

OK here's a crazy thought...what if this is actually SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!

Snake's been aging rapidly in reverse for seven years!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Pretty sure that was revealed in the first MGS.

No, they said that the Genome Soldiers had some basic genes pertaining to things like reflexes and aggression and intelligence spliced in from Big Boss. They didn't make them into Big Boss clones.

Besides, Johnny's afraid of needles, he probably didn't get the therapy anyway.

 

[hobart]

Pretend I know nothing about the series...

Why can't this be Snake? Furthermore... why can't this be the new series' new villain?

It makes little sense for this to be a remake, or a prequel. Kojima wanted something "new." So... although he's using some of his old "ideas," I still think he wants something fresh. This isn't MG*S*... it's MG__. I think we will see elements of the prior series in here... but I know Kojima wants to tell a new story. In telling this new story it may span some elements that take place in the past... but at the end of the day we've got a new set of toys to deal with here.

Raiden takes the wheel on the new series.

This is bullshit, someone with some credibility prove us that this was in the interview.

 

[Darkpen]

Ah, I never noticed the mental search/memory building aspects of that. Well, that pretty much validates it, then.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Well. As i said in the other thread, haven't read the previous posts but I get it. It's too obvious (or maybe not too obvious).

"Metal Gear Solid Prologue: Raiden" at E3

It'll feature Raiden's quest from MGS2 all the way to MGS4 including

Spoiler

The rescue of Sunny and Big Boss' rescue with EVA's support and Raiden's creation as the cyborg.

 

[RavenFox]

This is bullshit, someone with some credibility prove us that this was in the interview.

These guys aren't a site like kota... but yeah from the translation that I got some of this stuff is not in there.

But its not Raiden lol. He's a family man now.

That's why I put the ?. They say they got it from various places.

I'm trying to translate the article myself still.

 

[Neiteio]

Can someone pleeeeeeeeease make a 1280x800 wallpaper of the "Big Boss" image without the countdown timer?

Pleeeeeeeeeease? ;__;

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why can't this be Snake?

The eyepatch.

 

[Ether_Snake]

These guys aren't a site like kota... but yeah from the translation that I got some of this stuff is not in there.

It is DEFINITELY not in the interview, no way he would give that much info.

People are jumping to conclusions saying this is set after MGS4 now because of that site, :lol

Believe.

He and Sunny are going to meet in the middle.
