I'm going with this one, not just because no one expected to be a new character, but because Kojima went to the trouble of inserting Snake into fake trailers of the parts Raiden appears in so people really had no clue.

And honestly, I still don't understand liking the twist in Kotor. They were so heavy handed about foreshadowing it that by the time they reveal it it's not even a surprise.
