You creepy little stalker
Dunno about the date, but I keep watching the trailer from E3 over and over and over.
I love the bit where it says "yesterdays heroes could be tomorrows evil", and I think it points a lot to Big Boss.
It looks like it'll be a tragic tale, as we seeSnake crying. We see him as a proud and noble soldier, wearring a smart uniform and a beret, doing a salute. He looks so much like how I pictured Big Boss it's unbelievable.
The bit with the nuclear explosion at the end of the trailer is thought provoking - what's all that about? because we actually see Snake looking like he's pretty close to the blast.
I reckon we find out what made Big Boss so bitter, so cold, and hardened.
Remember Metal Gear has always been about "nature vs nurture" in that humans can surpass the means to which they were bound to at birth (Snake has proven this in the past - being the inferior clone to Liquid yet still winning). I'm guessing we see some more of that in Snake Eater, we find out that the governemnt royally screws with Big Boss, and he loses everything that kept him on the good side.
I reckon we're gonna see a bit of Darth Vader in old Snake this time. Except in MGS there's always a grey area between good and evil. Depending on how you look at it, Solid Snake and Raiden could be on the side of evil, doing the governments dirty work, and finding out they were used, just as I think Big Boss was.
With all this talk about government conspiracies - I'm betting we find out exactly WTF is going on with the Patriots too. They're bound to bring in the patriots again, because the trailer points to carrying on the MGS2 story. Maybe in Big Boss' past we find out the information about the patriots and the conspiracy from Solids timeline?
