The game takes place over a period of 10 years?
Maybe the first couple hours your the young snake. Then a cutscene happens(10 years later type of thing). Then your the old snake.
Kojima likes to play mind games. It wont be anything crazy like evil clones or something.
I'm thinking camo or the fox die effect wore off during that period of time. onemicIt's the fact that he's a clone that causes him to age, not the Foxdie. I think it's the camo, but knowing Kojima, it could be another clone of Solid Snake or even another direct clone from BigBoss's remains.
i think its another big boss clone.. or the camo theory.. or perhaps you used the octo camo through out the game and appeared as old snake fooling others to think you have lost your touch..but infact...BAM!! swifty punch to tha face.......think about it.. ocelot looks the same and yet he was much older than snakesinabun12siBut why would snake pose old? we saw in another trailer that he some sort of spazzum and then injected some serum into himself...he must be old.
i think he is just camoflaging.downPlayDemonWhy does everyone think its camo. What would be the benefit of Camo to take away a few wrinkles. One would think him being old and less recognizable would be better then him being the spitting image of himself in MGS2.
Well Solid does tend to find and lose equipment throught every game. Also I bet the player can decide which things to wear at any current time.Myabe the game is split into two parts like MGS 2. Cause in one trailer we also see snake with the electronic eyepatch and another without it.

****New Theory****
Old Snake is Solid Snake from MGS, as it says in the Trailer...
***Spoiler*** MGS 3: Eva and Naked Snake do it in the Ending Cutscene (Not actually depicted but implied), Eva Disappears....
2009(Big Shell) - 1964(Snake Eater) = 45 years...
Young Snake coule very well be the True "Son" of Big Boss...the offspring of Eva and Big Boss...
This would be a major plot twist....

I also think this to be true.
****New Theory****This actually does make sense. It would be nice to see it happen, however we will not know until it unveiled.

All Hail The Great Kojima!
****New Theory****nope, that cant be true, Big Boss was/is infertile and for people saying that young snake is the octo camo at work, then how can he use the cigaette? im pretty sure you cant stick cigs through a mask

One thing I really don't understand though... In the trailers, seeing solid snake apparently old implies this game take place a long time after MGS2 (Lets say... 20 years after). But in the trailers, we see Otacon has barely aged at all, if anything he looks younger. Not to mention FoxDie lasting over 20something years is kind of odd. I also want to point out this: would it really take that long (long enough so that snake would age so old) for "Liquid Ocelot" to cause another threat?20 years has NOT passed, the reason snake is old and everyone is still pretty much the same age is because Snake is a clone and his cells are degrading faster than normal
I know almost everything wants me to beleive I'm going to playing some old geezer in this game, but for some reason I'm skeptical...

I'm a Metal Gear Solid fan but i don't know all the details of this saga as much as i would like. Is it possible that the old Snake we see in the videos is Big Boss and the young one is the Snake we know from MGS1 and 2? Just a thought.lusitanogamerSorry to TC for going off-topic, but do you have to play the past 3 games to understand number 4? Because i dont own a Playstation (it broke)
