I remember Liquid saying in MGS2 that big boss was already in his late fifty's when they created his copies. So big boss must have been... let's just say 56 in 1972 (les enfants terrible project). So he must at least been 48 in 1964 during MGS3? That means he was older then The Boss who only was 42? Doesn't seem right....

Metal Gear Solid	I wouldn't really chalk it up to be a writers mistake. Kojima never intended to make the sequels to MGS1. So in MGS1 he decided that would be a good age for him. In the later installments of the game he backtracked in order to fit Big Boss into the storyline. If you look deeply into the series you'll notice little errors like this all over the place. For example, MGS4 Spoiler Spoiler: click to toggle The DARPA chief is said to be X amount old and Signet Y amount old...both don't match up when you put them together and yet they are the same person. Its simply a small detail that the average and larger crowd of fans wouldn't notice. Only the hardcore notice really.

Maybe in some database. But about this age thing of big boss... What Liquid was talking about at that moment is something I think a lot of people remember who played mgs2. It was a pretty important moment in that game. So I do think they made a little mistake with the timeline in mgs3. (sorry about my english... it's not that good)

DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH!? Posts: 1,100 Group: Outer Heaven Member #2,641 Joined: June 29, 2006 Favourite Metal Gear Title? Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty	Spoiler: click to toggle well he was kept in sort of a frozen state so maybe he stayed the same age he was at the end of MG2:SN

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater	Yeah I agree... but even so according to Liquid he would be like 80 in outer heaven (1995). That's possible maybe... but that would also mean he was at least 48 in 1964 meaning he was older then The Boss (who was 42). I found that a little weird. But yeah.. they could explain it in a way that Liquid was simply wrong.
