Predictions for Metal Gear Solid 4

[Erdrick Holmes]

Got any predictions for this game that aren't obvious?

Here's one that I thought up.

Snake will die.... I'm serious, the legendary hero, Solid Snake wil be wormfood in this game. How do I predict this will be a good chance of happening? Here's a few.

(SPOILER)
1. FOXDie was put into Snake's bloodstream at the begining of MGS1, it's a specially designed virus to kill people with specific genetic characteristics. Everybody on Shadow Moses, except for the ones Snake killed, Ocelot, and Maryl were targeted by the FoxDie Snake was carrying to die... including Liquid Snake. Liquid and Snake are clones of Big Boss, making them to have the exact same DNA, Liquid died from FOXDie so that must mean that at some point Snake will keel over from it to.

2. Snake is aging rapidly. Notice how Snake looks alot older in MGS2 than he did in MGS: Twin Snakes. When the project to make clones of Big Boss were starting Big Boss was in his late fifties, so by nature the clones of Big Boss will age quicker to catch up to the age of the host. Snake probably ages twice as fast as a normal person, he probably won't even live to be 60.

Everybody on Shadow Moses, except for the ones Snake killed, Ocelot, and Maryl were targeted by the FoxDie Snake was carrying to die... including Liquid Snake.

The only people FOXDIE was designed to kill were Solid Snake, Kenneth Baker, Decoy Octopus, Psycho Mantis, Vulcan Raven, Sniper Wolf, and Liquid Snake. (Of course, Snake killed Mantis, Raven, and Wolf before FOXDIE had a chance to.)

Liquid died from FOXDie so that must mean that at some point Snake will keel over from it to.

Naomi specifically states at the end of MGS1 that, unlike the other FOXDIE targets, Snake is set to die from FOXDIE at a random time. It could take effect in ten seconds, ten years, or he could live a full life with it never happening.

Snake is aging rapidly.

Technically, Snake is experiencing "accelerated aging."

When the project to make clones of Big Boss were starting Big Boss was in his late fifties

According to what Liquid said in MGS2, yes, but Kojima changed that aspect of the plot in MGS3. Officially, Big Boss was cloned during his forties, and Liquid simply had the wrong information. Not that it really changes anything.

Snake probably ages twice as fast as a normal person

It's unknown. The MGS2 script mentions that Snake had only begun to experience accelerated aging prior to the tanker incident. It could be that the accelerated aging occurs in bursts, or it could stop completely after a certain point. The "rules" for Snake's accelerated aging have never been clearly defined.

People are making so many MGS threads. Anyway, i don't think snake will die in MGS4, but i bet a really main character does. Mabye Raiden... anyway, what do you think raiden would have changed his name too? Because at the end of MGS2, he says, ill start off with a new life, and change my name, and he looks at his dogtags and says he dont know any of them. So, i wonder what his name will be...?

[Maxico]

Yeah, Snake is clearly sporting a moustache in the concept art.
Here
I'm guessing it's an attempt to make him look older, as usualy changing a characters apperance for no reason is a bad idea.

[Ohhh]

Oh yay!! another MGS thread!! i want Snake to be a heartless badass again...
I heard meryl was gonna be in it in some form or another...

[Pure Strife]

I don't know, with all the surviving and fighting greater odds Snake has done it doesn't really seem in his character to die.

I have no predictions for MGS4 whatsoever, but I am confident Kojima is going to make it another masterpiece.

[Dreddz]

I think Snake should die in this one.......Brutally.

[Cloud No.9]

how about this? a re-animate big boss fight bare handed man on man (like most mg's end). but the outcome is uncertain? the biggest cliff hanger.

[Drift]

raiden SHOULD die. Snake'll go back into retirement training huskies or something. meryl probably die. otacon will become the weirdest fanboy of anime forever.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I also somehow predict Maryl will be a mother in this game.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Who's the father?

[Erdrick Holmes]

Well, I couldn't say. It's been 4+ years sence Meryl escaped. Maybe she found a lover or something.

You just completely ruined the spoilers.

You just completely ruined the spoilers.

All the games in question are over 3 years old.

Ah, but is this a thread talking about MGS2?
