It'll be old Snake I'm willing to bet, highlighting dat MGS4 PS3-exclusivity. Plus that's how he looked in the Michael trailer.
We'll get different designs for alts of course, but I think his moveset will definitely have more MGS4 inspiration.

It could be Old Snake with skins for younger Snake. Basically what they've done with Kratos/Deimos.
It'll be "all" Snakes. Three or more costumes indicates, to me, MGS3, MGS4, and MGS2/1 looks.
Beat me to it.
I'm telling you, it's going to be raiden! Snake will be in the game in some form, but raiden is going to be the character.
I'm calling it!
You can make fun of me later if I'm wrong

Raiden would be more interesting just because of his potential moveset. Snake is heavily gun based, and the game will have plenty of characters like that.
I wouldn't mind Raiden but its Snake,people been asking for him so yeah.
Those characters are different though not one plays alike or have supers alike.

Even though Omar says that they're still trying to cram characters on the disc, that's just his way of saying that he doesn't want to reveal the final number yet, excluding DLC. The game's out by October 23, but the game should hit gold around September, meaning that they can't touch the disc anymore.
This is what bugs me: did Sony force them to rush the game? October 23 doesn't really sound like the "Holiday 2012" release date that they first promised. A lot can happen in two months, it seems to me that they're quickly rushing the last bunch of characters in the game and the others that didn't make it in time will be released as post-launch DLC.

True, but I think a lot of the "shooters" have plenty of close-range attacks to back them up (Jak, Drake). Radec seems to be the biggest gun-guy thus far, and Snake himself has CQC and the like to balance out his gun use.

Noted ( :',
This game has been in development for like 3 years. It's time to come out.
Yeah, I'm glad they waited so long to reveal it. We haven't had much of a wait at all for this one, thankfully.

I didn't say that they played like one another. But there are currently 3 characters where guns are their primary weapon. They currently don't have any characters that are sword based. Ninja Raiden's moveset would be very different from Snake or any of those gun based characters because of his primary weapon, and that was my point.
I think MGS4 raiden is totally a comparable character to snake. (I actually loved MGS2 raiden, but whatev)
I don't think there would be a whole lot of hate for raiden.
I just feel like solidsnakex said that raidens playability would be waaay more interesting than snake.
(I would actually go out on a limb and say that I will probably main raiden if he is in it)

Oh, I know. 3 years is a long time, even by today's HD standards. I hope this is a learning experience for Superbot and that they can use that for the next game they're gonna make.
True,well sweetooth does use a knife
THANK YOU! Finally I can hear the voices and not just fanboy shouting.

I just don't think (talking about hades old level here) that is a good lvl design, it's a total jumble.
Drakes level (which could quite possibly be in it) is awesome.
Also in the Q&A at comic con, Omar stated that they have a unique way of dealing with "falling off the stage"
And that the ONLY way to die Is to be killed by a super, I'm really happy with that.
That means there will be No unforced errors, unlike playing as sonic on a small level with dodgey net code in online SSB
Yeah I have no clue what people see in the old Hades level.I just don't think (talking about hades old level here) that is a good lvl design, it's a total jumble.

I would prefer Boss though.

I'd like Raiden but I don't think the game will be lacking in swordsmen once Cloud
is confirmed.
I didn't see the pitch version of Hades but I fucking love the current version. It's got a good platform setup, a wicked stage hazard in Hades himself, and PATAPON!
probably Lightning...so swordswomen I guess...

Lightning I think for sure somewhat unfortunately, and Nariko I think will make it in. Im alright with cloud not making it in as long as raiden makes the roster too.
Raiden would be the fastest character (that's something there is none of yet a FAST guy) with a pretty much just mellee and some kind of bullet block.
Literally a dream come true for me if that ends up being the case
Some EU ps blog comments
When asked about more female characters like Kat and Nariko

Maybe this game should have assist trophies like Brawl for the characters that didn't make it as playable.
Something tells me majority of the PlayStation fanbase including Superbot don't even know Jen Tate exists. I bet Superbot was never asked a question regarding her which is a damn shame. Shes one of the 3 characters that will convince me to purchase the game.
1. PaRappa. Confirmed.
2. Jen Tate.
3. Ape Escape character.
All 3 must be met and no DLC wont count because I doubt DLC characters will be represented in the story.

How these assist trophies work?? didnt play brawl as much
You're right.
You throw it then a character comes out and fights for a sec

You can't blame them, she's really, really obscure.
So unless Jen Tate happens you won't be buying? Isn't that a little short-sighted? Don't you enjoy any other characters that have been shown or who could potentially be revealed, or even the general gist of the game?
