It goes much deeper than MGS2...
Along with the rest of the world, I was disappointed and angered at the enormously stupid "Patriots" Illuminati-style conspiracy which anchored the plotline of Metal Gear Solid 2. And like the rest of you, I hope and pray that Metal Gear Solid 3 will learn from the past and not mess with any of this conspiracy theory silliness.
However, I was shocked to discover that Hideo Kojima's efforts to work the Patriots into game storylines was not limited to just Metal Gear Solid 2.
I was playing through Metal Gear Solid 1 (you know, the one with the good storyline) again, and I noticed something that I never really looked at in the right light before. It seems there is a short, small reference to the Patriots hidden within the original work of Metal Gear Solid! Pictures speak louder than words, so here is the evidence:
And that's not all. Apparently the plan to ruin Metal Gear Solid 2 by making the game be about Raiden instead of Solid Snake was well underway years before the game was even announced. There is a reference to Raiden hidden within the 1997 Gameboy Color game, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (renamed Metal Gear Solid in the States for market appeal, I guess they think American's won't know a game w/o the exact same title). Again, here is the evidence:
Now, I know that most of you don't care about this. But for the Metal Gear fans in the audience, this is something you'll no doubt find interesting to say the least. Let us hope that they don't screw up Metal Gear Solid 3 with this crap. Also let us hope that with the remake of mgs, The Twin Snakes, they don't decide to retroactively insert more links to the Patriots in our beloved Metal Gear Solid.
