As someone who has worked with an operative with psychic powers, I hope they handle Mantis skilfully...
How was this overlooked?

Tell us more.
I didn't really want to talk about it, but basically I used to be in an elite unit comprised of individuals with specific skills and one member of the team relied on psychic powers to take down the enemy.

It would be interesting if he uses the internet on the PS4, maybe goes to some secret site set up by Kojima or something.
Damn the possibilities really are endless with this one.
Facebook,twitter...the 4th wall can be shattered.
Mantis goes wild on your Facebook page.

Yeah well I didn't really want to mention it because people get jealous etc., but I sort of had to bring it up to make my point.

What would you say Kojima gets wrong with Psycho Mantis? Or was he portrayed pretty well in MGS1?

One thing I would say is that in real life, psychic powers are used slightly differently on the battlefield - trust me, I've seen it.

I regularly hang out with the Justice League and from my experience Mantis' psychic abilities were portrayed pretty realistically.

All right, it's clear the guys either trolling or nuts, lets move it on.

OT: It's interesting that it appears the Mantis looking figure has hair, I always imagined that it got burnt in the fire in his village.

My elite commander once told me, "he who holds the torch of truth will often singe the beards of the deluded."

As for Mantis, perhaps this is set before his village was burned?

Damn, that'd be awesome. Or maybe he reads your computer history.

DID YOU ENJOY VIEWING YOUPORN?
LOOOOOOOL THAT WOULD BE EPIC

Imagine playing that scene with your girlfriend and he reads your internet history. Oh man, either Mantis should be in MGS5 or MGS1 needs to be remade for PS4 XD

He mentioned something interesting... Konami, they claim that what they're doing in Casinos are the missing piece... money, to surpass video games.

Is it true that the soviets did research on psychics or is that only in fiction? The reason I ask is because Mantis is Russian and antoher game also has Russian psychics. So I wonder why this is.

Yea I read some research on the Russian's studying psychic/ESP phenomena. Not sure how factual it was though. I would reckon the Russians had a similar program to the CIA's MK Ultra experiments.

I thought MK Ultra was to control the mind, not using minds to obtain intel (which I read was what the Russians were trying to use it for)
You too have known loss, and that loss torments you still. You hope hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away.

Ohhh I see. Very interesting. I thought it was just a thing with these games where many psychics were russian, like Mantis and Yuri.
