Well, it is a prequel in that it happens first, but because it happens first it doesn't need you to have played any of the others. MGS2 for example is meaningless if you haven't played MGS1. Literally, it the whole game is based on the premise you've played the first one. MGS1 is a PS1 game, so wouldn't look great.Darklord said:The third title in the series is a stand alone? What? I thought it was like some flashback thing like a prequel.
I think Snake Eater is a genius choice.
