The 3 Solid Snakes

June 12 is coming up, and you problably wondered how it would feel playing with the different models of Solid Snake. The first Solid Snake model was shown in the TGS 2005 Game show. He has been remodeled over the years. In the pic on the left, is Snake in TGS 2005, while in the middle showed Snakes model in 2006, and the on the right is the final Snake. Check them out, which is your favorite!?

I'm not going to lie, I like the TGS 2005 Snake the most, though I also like the final Snake.

ErcsYou6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

I also prefer the TGS 2005 Snake and ill tell you why..
1... That white background really make snake stand out
2.. I like the darker utility belt more than the green or brown
3.. The gray hair keeps the characters look more fluent top to bottom
4.. That look... he seems to be looking right at me. The other pictures seem to be at a slight angle compare to the first. Plus his eye brows are slanted up a little more giving him the impression that he's scowling...

To me..... The TGS 05 Snake looks more like a bad ass....

theKiller6595d ago

both the first and last, but more the last because
its much more realistic and i liked the gray and brown colors, it goes well with his skin color, but his hair color would have been better if they made it like the first picture, so the only advantage the first pic has is the hair color, he looks not too old in it while in the last picture he looked so old, which is the closest to the reality, dont forget guys that a virus making him age so fast and is about to kill him, so its understandable if it makes all his hair white but yes the gray is better on him, he looks still have some strength in him with gray color! also i didnt like the greenish colors on his suit in the first picture because its so unreal!!

barom6594d ago

I kinda like the middle one. Fewer wrinkles so it makes him look somewhat younger. Makes him being on the battlefield a little bit more believeable.

Max Power6595d ago

but i like the new one. It also interesting to see the different models of guns.

crimsonfox6595d ago

better he looks fuller i dont know how else to say it

he looks crazier

jackdoe6595d ago

Never liked the 2006 model where he had shock white hair. He's more grizzled/badass in the final build, but looks more realistic in the 2005 build.

ChrisGTR16595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

they forgot the best one.

i really hope theres an option or something to grow a beard like in mgs 2. snake could shave in the early part of the game.

ice_prophecy6595d ago

where in the world this hairy pic come from lol!?

Tetsuryu6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

I believe that would be up Big Boss' alley. ;)

[Here's an excerpt from an EGM interview with Kojima concerning MGS4]

EGM: We were wondering if Snake's beard grew in real time and you had to shave it in a minigame?

HK: We actually first had that idea for MGS 2, but we weren't able to do real-time whisker shaving. So this time we also want to include that...hopefully we'll be able to get it in the final game. Also we'd like Snake's face to look older and to show realistic expressions of fatigue as he goes through the game. Well I told my team that, and they said, "Please, we don't want to have to do that." We're not sure what's going to happen with that.

ChrisGTR16595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

what i find wierd is in the new trailer it shows him transforming into the young snake.

@ Tetsuryu . how long ago was that interview ? it sounds pretty old but im keeping my hopes up on that feature being in game. :)

if you havent seen it here it is,
its at 1 min 20 seconds.
trailer http://www.gametrailers.com...

Tetsuryu6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

Yeah it is, I believe it was conducted in 2005. I just thought I would bring it up since we're on the topic of beards. :)

In regards to Snake reverting to a younger state, I'm pretty sure it's just Octocamo, you can even hear it's activation.

HorseJacked6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

Ether_Snake from NeoGAF made it, then GT started using it... it kinda picked up from there. He go the idea from the beard-shaving and the battle damaged suit ideas that had been talked about in interviews.

Edit: I'm pretty sure it was Ether_Snake at least, but it was definitely someone from GAF...

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle47d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7747d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde54d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy54d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12554d ago (Edited 54d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7755d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga55d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199255d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga54d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman54d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger55d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box55d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion54d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7255d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7555d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit55d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14955d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7755d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
