Metal Gear Solid 4 family tree

Solid Snake
First appearance: Metal Gear (MSX2)
Nationality: American
Affiliation: Philanthropy
Looks like: Your Grandpa
Voiced by: David Hayter
Biography: Solid Snake is a black ops/spy entrusted with keeping the world safe from the huge bipedal, nuclear-armed robots known as the Metal Gears. Since the first Metal Gear, Solid Snake has gone from snot nosed new clone (reproduced from the DNA of Big Boss) to white-haired and decrepit war veteran (despite only being set five years after Sons of Liberty).

What he's doing in MGS4: was last seen melting into the crowd at the end of MGS2 with information on The Patriots - a sinister organization controlling the US Government. Despite having retired from active duty more times than "Sugar" Ray Leonard, he's now back to take them on - let's hope his colostomy bag is suitably hardy.

Vamp
First appearance: Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2)
Nationality: Romanian
Affiliation: Unknown
Looks like: Freddie Mercury
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr
Biography: A dangerous mercenary with a taste for blood, Vamp was a member of the Dead Cell unit that was co-opted to become the terrorist organization "The Sons of Liberty" in MGS2. Vamp seemingly has supernatural abilities, as well as being indestructible - Raiden apparently kills him several times in MGS2, though he is seen in the crowd at that game's conclusion.

What he's doing in MGS4: MGS4 will see a rematch between Raiden and Vamp - the 2007 E3 trailer showcases some of this epic fight, and it's a doozy. Whose side is Vamp on though? Nobody is sure yet…

wow I did not know Vamp was Romanian, lol Snake looks like your grandpa hahaha funny one.

This Old like Snake suits more his character then a younger version.
it makes him look more experience and a better badass.

HeartlesskizZ6798d ago

Vamp is one of the characters that needs to be on the movie or else ill be disappointed

HeartlesskizZ6798d ago

They said MGS4 will reveal all the mysteries and connects everything with out answers. So I guess everyone will be back and maybe we will see the faces of the patriots. =)

SnakeCL6798d ago (Edited 6798d ago )

Big Boss was in the original preview concept art for MGS4 back when it was first shown. With the return of Eva, its entirely possible that Big Boss will be making an appearance as well.

In the attachment, from left to right...
Vamp, Meryl, Raiden, Ocelot, Snake, Otacon, Big Boss, Naomi

And its not Solidus either, eyepatch would be on the wrong eye.

Mr_Kuwabara6798d ago

Big Boss is back but as in he'll play a big role in the story. He'll be there symbolically but not physically. (Since he was burned to death)

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart85d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby85d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb198184d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran884d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
