I like Solidus and everything... but i'm not for the game revolving around or even having a centralized plot point on him or Raiden. As stated above, if paths crossed, then that would be something cool to see, but I really want this to stay true to being about BB's story...

Me too. Big Boss...and then maybe a little hint to Solid Snake at the end. Won't bother me if there is no mention of Solid, but c'mon, it has to... Please...no? Yeah? :unsure:

I'm sure there will at least be some mention of Solid Snake. He might not be in the flesh but just some mention, depending on how much Cipher's stuff is delved on.

We had no idea that Raiden was even in MGS 2.
I did...I read the previews and the review with Raiden on the cover :D

Kojima hinted in a recent interview with Game Informer that Solid Snake will be in TPP, but didn't want to spoil it. That pretty much confirms it, to be honest.

I think you very much confirmed Solidus, OP. And since the accelerated aging (assuming that nonsense is still canon) would make him look much older than Solid/Liquid this could work in favor of your theory. It's a shame no John Cygan tho

Or...it stands for 5?

Saying this confirms Solidus is ludicrous.

I didn't think of how solidus would be included in the game, but reading this, it makes you think that big boss and solidus had to have crossed paths or solidus was told about who his father is, because of the similarities. Big boss is going to be portrayed as evil for having child soldiers on the battlefield, so I'm not so sure about the doppelganger thing but I could definitely see a young solidus and liquid being child soldiers for big boss. It wasn't ever explained wether solidus was part of the 8 octuplets, I'm assuming he was born after and I have a feeling cipher used big bosses arm to create solidus. The perfect clone. With his advanced aging it's safe to say he will look between 16-20 if we see him in the game.

Well V means peace, it also means victory, and maybe Vic boss "big boss nickname" but certainly kojima changed from arabian numbers to roman numerals for a reason

So Paz's V shaped stomach wound means Skull Faces victory over Big Boss?

Which interview was that?

There probably is some deep meaning for the V in MGSV, that isn't simply 5 or "Victory" (too obvious) but we won't find out until we play the game.

Kojima did say that TPP would feature Orwellian themes like surveillance, being that it's set in 1984 and all that - so it could be a reference to "V for Vendetta" too...

Possibilities:

V = 5
V = Vic Boss
V = Venom Snake
V = \ and / Solidus (Skoot)
V = Symbolism for a gameplay style reboot (not the typical 1,2,3,4 numerals)
V = Vendetta (Soviette)

Similar to the one above
V=5
V=Venom Snake/Big Boss
V=Vendetta
V=Victory
V=The V of Peace/Paz

Theory-I know there isn't much credit to this, but also:
V=Vanished

Speculations, speculations... You'll never knew what V stands for until game's release, because it has a lot of meanings, from lots of cultures around the world.

V for Victory - very popular gesture from WWII.

V for Vendetta - famous british graphic novel about anonymous ex-prisoner of concentration camp. His skin was burnt into crisp while escaping (say hello to Skull Face) and since then he wears famous Guy Fawkes mask and terrorises government with well-orchestrated symbolic actions of terrorism (Motherbase destruction was symbolic as fuck) to give opressed people some hope.

V-gesture means Peace in some cultures.

V is roman numeral.

V stands for Venom as Kojima said.

'V has come to' which means 'Big Boss has awakened from coma' points that 'V' is secret codename for Big Boss while he was in coma.

Tons of interpretation, but I don't think that any of them are relevant. Lack of new information makes all theories of that sort nothing more but dumb faggotry. There is no need to seek for deep meaning in Kojima's games. Game will be more straightforward than many of us thinks. Yes, there will be some mind-blowing plot-twists, but nothing that we can't handle.

V is Venom. I don't see there being any more reason to debate this.
