Art Depicting an Older Big Boss and Unnanounced Character (possible spoilers)

Am I crazy or is that Solid Snake in the background? It even looks like he has his bandana and mullet. Boss is looking a ton older there too. Maybe the old theory that we'll play as Solid in the last act and kill an evil BB basically remaking the first Metal Gear has some merit to it.

EDIT: Though it is possible its fake too. I'm no artwork expert or anything, but Solid in the background kind of looks like a different art style than Boss. Maybe someone bsed him in.

Hayter also seems to constantly be playing up the fact that he is no longer voicing Big Boss in his tweets. Hell, his latest tweet is him talking about how he's the most expendable in a joke poster featuring a ton of gone or forgotten video game characters including Solid Snake. He seems like he does this a bit too often.

That's not Solid Snake it's a young Big Boss. But even if it was that's just a piece of promo art and has no connection to the possible plot of the game. Also, Hayter is Snake from MGS2. He hasn't been edited out of the credits. RT'ing a fanmade pic is not suspicious in any way

I'm not sure about that. One thing that's always set apart Solid from Boss in artwork to me is facial hair. That guy is completely bare, like Solid usually is (except the mustache he had as Old Snake). Boss is usually drawn with a beard. Even in MGS3 art.

And Hayter constantly playing up the fact that he was replaced for MGSV is a bit weird. Sure, its not evidence of Solid Snake, but you cant fault people for being suspicious.

I didn't at first but it's been so long I really doubt that he's connected to this game in anyway. If it is a ruse it's gone on for far too long to be amusing or funny, IMO.

I think that looks more like Liquid than Solid tbh.

Agreed, but its also not something they can just spoil that easily either. I can see Kojima wanting to keep it under wraps until we get closer to the release date. Is it so hard to imagine Solid in this? Liquid is. It seems pretty likely that Solid would make an appearance.

EDIT: It's fake. I knew that looked familiar. :/

That was a picture posted on Gameinformer's website. They themselves confirmed that is created by themselves.

Why is this thread still open when it's been proven fake? lol

But for the sake of it that picture of Big Boss definitely does look older and his hair is completely slicked back just like his MGS1 art/MGS4 look.

The world would be better without Snakes.
You can tell this is fake by the horrible cutting of the line art, especially over that big black rectangle on the far right where Snakes nose extends upward. This is a poorly done photoshop job.

it's sincerely not fake, It was put together for gameinformers metal gear solid V coverage back a few months. It's compromised of a recent drawing of Big Boss by Shinkawa and using old art from the essential collection with Liquid on the front.

The only thing to take away from this is Big Boss does seem older than what he looks like in TPP, but it's artwork..

in context it is fake. As in we believed the entire image was art exclusive to TPP, however the Solid Snake art was just added from previous works. So yes it is fake, whether an official outlet created it or not.

Ok, let me break it down, Either of the two artwork pieces there are both official Shinkawa artwork. Coming from different pieces in the franchise. Whether or not the final piece was put together by anyone at KJP or not, both pieces being official doesn't make it fake at all, and I'm sure if it wasn't authorized, it would have been stripped for copyright reasons off of the gameinformer website. The fact that they were able to use it, still have it up to this day, makes it as far from fake as possible, and again.. it's liquid :)

You've completely ignored my explanation. I said "In context", we believed the art with Liquid was created specifically for TPP, which strictly in those terms means it is fake. I didn't mean it was fake as in some random guy drew it up and billed it as official artwork, that's not what I meant at all.

And my bad I thought he had a bandana lol

No it just means you were wrong to assume it was TPP, that doesn't make it fake in any context. It's just a collage like this from the same article:

Read OP's post as it was speculating that the art was specifically for TPP wasn't it? Fine, forget about being 'in context', it isn't fake but it isn't a part of the game which is exactly what I've been trying to say that you've now ignored.
