Metal Gear Solid Did you knows...

[CRN7112]

Did you know...

1. Meryl Silverburgh's look in MGS1 was lifted from the game Policenauts. Her bullet earring from Policenauts was added in MGS4.


2. The MKII from MGS4 is also the helper in the game Snatcher. The helper in the Snatcher is said to be based from "the metal gear threat of the late 20th century" as was the MKII in MGS4.


3. Doctor Madnar crosses between the Metal Gear games and Snatcher.

4. Big Boss loses most of his body at the end of Metal Gear. Doctor Madnar said he was rebuilt by the Snatcher program, making Big Boss the first one.

5. If you can't tell by now it appears MGS and Snatcher take place in the same universe because it uses direct reference and cross overs, unlike Policenauts that appears to be an alternate timeline.

6. Solid Snake, named David, and Otacon, Hal Emmerich get their names from the movie 2001 Space Odyssey. Snake is named after the main character and Otacon the computer.

7. Former members of the Policenauts used to belong to High Tech Special Forces Unit Foxhound.

8. In MGS3 Subsistence during the intro codec call in Snake vs. Monkey, and Ape Escape crossover, Snake tells the Colonel to get "Sam or Gabe to do it" referring to Sam Fisher and Gabe Logan, other greats in the stealth genre.

MGS has tons of hidden stuff. Its late, so I or maybe someone else will update more MGS did you knows in the thread. If these have been done before I'm sorry, but I'm just trying to spread the gaming secrets.

UPDATE: Did you know...?

1. In MGS3, in Granin's Lab, in the background can be seen a mech from Zone of the Enders, along with Metal Gear Rex and Ray, not only that there are pictures of Granin and Huey(Otacon's father).

2. At the end of MGS2, the scene of Arsenal Gear crashing into New York City was to be shown, but was removed due to the 9/11 incident.
