Yeah the shots at Rising are old man. I too am way more excited for Peace Walker, but you need to consider all the possibilities with Rising.

1) What if Kojima becomes more involved with the project?(He's done this before where he says he'll be on the outside looking in then jumps in full throttle...it could very well happen)

2) What if this game comes out and gets outstanding marks all across the board? What then?

I'm hoping for the best with Rising. We don't know much and it seems like it will be less than stellar, but being out on an agenda against this game is stupid, especially when the odds of it succeeding are probably just as close of it failing.

I can't wait for PeaceWalker though. <3 my PSP to death. :D

What if purple monkeys invade the earth and take over the world?

If, if, if. Coulda, shoulda, woulda, maybe, maybe not. We can issue suppositions all day long. But what we have are the facts as they satnd, not flights of fancy to the Emerald City aboard candy cotton hot air baloons.

And if you watch the MS presentation at E3 then you will see a Kojima that wasn't thrilled to be there - buit he no longer has a choice since he is also now a Konami exec. It is pretty certain where Kojima's attention lies and that place is Peacewalker, THE next Metal Gear title.

At ThatCanadianGuy below, I actually have the real coat he is wearing in that clip. It also the same style coat worn by Liquid.

All this talk of MGS made me go check out the ending of MGS4 again.

Wow.Just wow, gets better everytime i see it.Can't wait to play as Big Boss again

Is it just me or is a lot of people getting Liquid's Trench Coat I could of sworn a friend of mine has one though I might of just heard it from you.

my bro has a copy of that version of MGS 3..... i never got around to trying the old games out. guess its time i give him a call :)

My bad, didn't want to post here.

Would like to clarify to the OP that Miller wasn't in MGS though. Don't want to spoil anything so let's just leave it at that.

A random idea I had, that the game takes place in the past and the events are being narrated by Big Boss in later life.

Doyle does the narration, Hayter does the in-game charater.

Well he does have a good voice that would fit Big Boss perfectly. Either one will be great, and as long as it suits the character I'm fine with it.

Doyle just seems to have a wisdom and realization implicit in his voice that I do not get from Hayter - however much I like his performances. There is almost a sort of resignation in Doyle's voice as if the knowledge of the truth resides in every word. It isn't just what he says, it is his performance.

I get the idea Thom I still just hope they go with Doyle.

@Unicron, I think we'll see Zero as the break between he/Patriots and Big Boss occurs.

@morgan
Yeah, he has that wise voice whereas Hayter has that war-torn voice. If they could have a mix between the two, it would be perfect. But a change would be nice, too. Hayter's voice has been in every MGS game, and Doyle would be a nice change.

@thorn
That's a great idea, but it would play out like someone was telling you a story rather than creating the story as you go. I don't know, but narration has that 3rd person perspective, and a 1st person perspective just seems right. Great thought though!!

@thom

Wow, that's actually a really awesome idea.

I agree with you morganfell, so I think the Big Boss voice actor should really depend on BB's maturity as a soldier at Peace Walker's point in his life. If he's still stubborn and reckless, go with Hayter, but if he's more all-knowing and wise, make it Doyle. Also I totally didn't realize it was Doyle narrating the trailer, good ear. God I'm so pumped for this game
