And for anyone who can't be bothered to read through Hideo's biography:

Set after MGS2 events, stars Solid Snake, promises a completely new sneaking experience.

Snake, Otacon, Ocelot and Vamp are easily recognisable in the portraits, I like how Vamp has the bulletwound still in the middle of his forehead. I'm guessing the two women on the left are Meryl and Olga, be interesting to see what part Meryl has come back for (assuming it is her). I have no idea who the women on the far right is, but by far the biggest mystery is the guy with the eyepatch.

That Big Boss' ghost/zombie? Solidus back somehow? Looks very emaciated, and it seems strange Kojima would make yet another character with one eye. Be interesting to see if they throw in more characters or keep it in the MGS family. Either way, I'm already looking forward to this.
