[Ephemeris]

if raiden is just

a spine and a head

why does he have so much junk?

 

[BobTheFork]

Seriously, that pic (if accurate) would be a OMGWTFBBQ moment in the game, possibly THE OMGWTFBBQ moment.

DO NOT CLICK IF EVEN SLIGHTLY SPOILER SENSITIVE

 

[Doc Evils]

Spoiler

I don't know if anyone noticed but OPM UK gave a huge spoiler on what the last level is and the ironic thing is that it's in one of the trailers.

[Dot50Cal]

Hum, don't know if it's been posted before but I stumbled upon a screen from a 'Press Playthrough' I think and one of the pics snapped during that event showed, if true, a massive plot-twist.

Here's the pic (MEGA-SPOILER INBOUND):

Is anyone brave enough to tell me if it's true or not?

This was posted a long time back. The general thought was:

Spoiler

If you look at the white inkblot you'll see Big Boss' face in it, so people speculated that it was a flashback sequence or something

 

[industrian]

I know what the screenshot contains without even looking at it.

If it's any "consolation" to people who think they were spoiled, take this into account: you really have no fucking idea what MGS4 truely has in store for you unless you actively choose to read previews from reputable sources and/or see something in motion.

That said: if you value the spoiler-free nature of your mind, then stay the fuck away from anything with "Metal Gear" in the title.

Hell yeah. I ain't clicking that shit. The game is just around the corner.

 

[klee123]

For some reason I kinda expected it ages ago. The picture just confirmed it.

I don't feel spoiled, I know the game has WAY more crazy in store than just that pic. That said, that pic (if it means what I think it does) just answered the biggest question I had about MSG4. I can't wait to see what it means.

! Epic!!
My guess is it ain't a flashback, besides since Eva is back, why not he as well?....
Kojima said as many characters from the MGS series as possible will return for the story closure. Don't be surprised if you see Solidus making a comeback......

Don't highlight this if you didn't see the picture.

^^^ Aggelos, please edit that post with spoiler tags. The way you wrote it heavily implies what's in the picture, and I didn't even click on it.

please spoiler that anyway, its kind of a giveaway

[Crateman]

Aggelos, I read your post and you just fucking gave it away.

The hell... my brain already figured out who will be in that pic...

... at least now I'll be able to click on it.

EDIT:

Spoiler

Yup. The one and only. Alas, I saw that one coming since long, long ago and I'm not surprised. You guys remember the first promotional image of the game? The one with the Shinkawa artwork on a blue background? He was there. I knew from that point on that he would end up in the game.

Looks fucking epic. I can't wait to see how this will develop.

Spoiler

Yeah, but he's fuckin' dead. I'm sure it'll surely be in flashback form as to show us what his intention was to form Outer Heaven and other obscure motives.

 

[Lonestar]

Spoiler

When it comes to big boss, is he ever truly dead? I mean, he had clones babies made, who's to say he didn't have actual clones used for Zanzibar/Outer Heaven. They could come up with some reason he's still alive, I'm sure.

 

[Aggelos]

Aggelos, I read your post and you just fucking gave it away.

No man, I didn't give anything away... It was just an assumption.

Spoiler

The clone project was started many years after he died. They didn't have the technology back then to produce clones let alone a PERFECT clone. But if you remember the brochure that was given at E3 2005. There were sketches of all the main players in the MGS4 plot and Big Boss' corpses was in there. I'm sure he's gonna have a big role, just not a living one.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

Spoiler

It's a fucking flashback, guys. There is no way Big Boss would still look the same as he did in MG2 -- it's just not possible. Notice how it looks like he's wearing the same coat he had on in the MGS1 artwork.

Thanks for clearing that up. Unfortunately, it was spoiled for me weeks before, but I was afraid this was an entirely brand new "OMGWTF" leak I'd have to try and avoid. I can rest easy... for now.

Eva is actually a MAN!

 

[Crateman]

No man, I didn't give anything away... It was just an assumption.

Damage control whatever you want... what you wrote + OMFG! MEGATON WTF + having played MGS practically gives away the spoiler. I mean

Spoiler

as soon as you wrote "since Eva is back, why not he as well?" the brain of any MGS fan would go "Ok, so it must be a man... and if Eva, being a character from MGS3, is back... and it's a OMFG moment..."

Anyway. It had to happen sooner or later.

 

[Aggelos]

Spoiler

Yeah, but he's fuckin' dead. I'm sure it'll surely be in flashback form as to show us what his intention was to form Outer Heaven and other obscure motives.

Spoiler

I don't think "he's dead". When it comes to a story closure, most of the huge characters have to make a comeback. I bet that he's there, Kojima cooked up a way to bring him back (like the crazy idea with Liquid to live through an arm). I entrust the E3 2005 bronchure. I mean, when you guys saw the E3 2006 trailer of MGS4 who could predict back then that Eva would be making a comeback?

 

[proposition]

MEGA SPOILER PICTURE DISCUSSION IN THIS POST DON'T READ IF AVOIDING MAJOR SPOILERS

Spoiler

He looks the same age as Old Eva, I doubt it's a flash back, plus he seems to be wearing a soviet uniform of some sort?

Spoiler

Right but he was burned to death with an aerosol in MG2 right? And yet in that picture his skin looks fine. And EVA always seemed younger than Naked Snake in MGS3, I assumed that by MG2 he was kind of an old man.

I'm guessing flashback.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Eva is actually a MAN!

Spoiler

DAMNIT! I Jerked off to her in MGS3 :/ cockblock confirmed!

Spoiler

Riiiiiiight, it CAN'T be Solidus, the wrong eye is patched!

But it's the end of the Saga, OF COURSE I WAN'T TO SEE

Spoiler

BIG BOSS, or a flashback on when he died

. The ending must be AT LEAST 1 hour long for me to accept this as a closure...

 

[SRG01]

... Yeah, I think it's about time to bail out of all MGS4 threads.

Spoiler

It'll be a flashback, man. I think you fail to realize that bringing Big Boss back from the dead totally destroys the entire MGS narrative. There is NO WAY Big Boss will be coming back alive in MGS4. Everything about the MGS games were about how the brothers were trying to become(Liquid), Surpass(Solidus), and totally avoid walking down Big Boss' path(Solid).

Spoiler

It'll be just absolutely ridiculous and dumb if he just suddenly comes back to life.

If Big Boss already had been cloned... could it be that who you actually killed in MG2 was another clone? I mean, this is MGS, anything is possible.

Oh, and believe me when I say that I was more shocked to know that Eva was coming back that now that I know that Big Boss is, in some form, back. Big Boss return was written all over the walls, but must of us preferred to ignore all the signs.

Looking into a mirror? I mean it could be Solidus considering how young the guy looks on the photo and considering John Cygan, the voice actor for Solidus, can be heard in the recent trailer I wouldn't rule Solidus out.

 

[Ephemeris]

WTF Crateman.

YOU DIDN'T SPOILER YOUR POST PROPERLY.

Go ahead. People are just going OMFGWTFBBQ over something that most of us, MGS fans, already know in the back of our heads.

 

[djkimothy]

Damn it, why did I look at the picture...

 

[Prime crotch]

Keep them spoils coming, as a non-PS3 onwer I'll take what I can get.

 

[Lonestar]

I wouldn't mind

Spoiler

Solidus to return. Seemed heavily underutilized for a "Snake" brother. His introduction was perhaps one of the best parts of MGS1, and he just didn't seem to get the same treatment as Liquid did.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[BocoDragon]

That picture no one wants to click on? I saw it a couple weeks ago through GAF already. Can't remember where, but no one was nearly as spoiler scared of it, as in this thread right now :lol

 

[Nemo]

This is not the coolest thread on GAF anymore.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The "REVIEW. NO SPOILER!" thread welcomes you with open arms

 

[eso76]

guys that's actually

Spoiler

Solidus. Don't be fooled by the eyepatch being on his right eye, that is actually a picture of solidus taken at the mirror. Kinda like what people do for the "post new pics, do it now!" thread in the off topic section.
Seriously, reviving Big Boss would be silly, that's just a flashback.

Also, i am still perplexed at SS looking that old in the game.
I also find it rather curious the hud itself refers to him as OLD SNAKE.
