New, mysterious character in MGS4?

xsynergyx | July 16, 2007 | News | Playstation 3

In the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer, some people may have noticed something oddly new. You see everyone falling down and people vomiting, there is one guy who is standing. Who is he? He seems to have gray hair at his neck and just above his glasses. Could it be Old Snake? No, both Snake and this mystery guy are both seen, so this can't be Snake. If not, who is he?

People with a sharp eye may have noticed something odd in the new trailer of Metal Gear Solid 4. Although everyone is falling down and some people vomit, there is one guy who is still standing. Now, who is this guy?

Some people at the dutch website www.ps3only.nl may have discovered a clue. This guy has some gray hear in his neck and just above his glasses, which is very similar to the young snake-guy who appeared at the end of the trailer shown at the last Tokyo Game Show.

At the time, everybody thought this was Old Snake, playing around with his Octo-camouflage, but in the new trailer, Snake and this mysterious gray man are both appearing, so it seems this guy isn't Snake. But then, who IS he? Maybe Kojima will reveal him tomorrow, at the live demonstration of MGS4 in Tokyo.

Going by what I think he is saying, the guy in the picture is not Snake and the guy questioned is but yet not sure on it.

Anyone able to get a image of this mysterious guy ?

Its Raiden, it has to be, but covering up because he is with Foxhound, he was supposibly with them in MGS2 as he had the outfit, he is the only other person who could not be affected by this due to what happened prior to MGS2

You can tell its Raiden as look at parts of his hair when he is fighting Vamp, co-incidence? i think not...parts of his hair reveals its him, along with the way he says Jonathon and Commander when Meryl and Jonathon fall to the ground!!

  Yeah I thought so too. Besides, doesn't Meryl specifically say that she injected Snake with the same nanomachines in MGS1 making him just as susceptible to this "disease" and hence why he was falling down and shit.
  
  Yeah when I saw that one guy not getting messed up with the mask on I immediately thought it was raiden. The hair looked more white than gray that was sticking out.

i had thought it was raiden as well, and anyway the guy who was fighting at the end of trailer definitely has to be raiden, whats more in the previous trailer he tells sanke its time he paid him back for all that sanke had done for him..
