Biography: The DNA template for Solid, Liquid and Solidus Snakes, Big Boss was a Vietnam War hero who resented the machinations of politicians, resulting in him attempting to form his own army, Outer Heaven, and constructing the very first Metal Gear. His death at the hands of Solid has sparked much of the conflict in the MGS games.
What he’s doing in MGS4: Despite his “differently alive” status, he’ll play a role. This being MGS, he may not even stay dead…
Metal Gear Solid's former art director once said he spends "a lot of time fussing over the details of the characters' backside since that's the side the player sees most in-game"
In 1997, Hideo Kojima said the "one thing" he wanted to avoid in Metal Gear Solid was "tedious" cutscenes with characters "blabbering at each other for 4 or 5 minutes"
