Metal Gear Solid 4...

What's with the eye patch? Is it robotic or something?

Ok.... So before TGS, Konami announced something about Metal Gear Acid 2... Saying something about a key word being "Solid Eye"...

We later learned that this game would take advantage of some sort of... 3D device made for the PSP...

... The "patch" on Snake's eye says "Solid Eye"...

So either it's placed there as sort of a joke, or that patch is some sort of device he's using and he DOES still have both eyes...

It makes sense because I don't believe Solid ever lost his eye. Unless it happened after MGS2.

He didn't, that's why some people believed that it wasn't Snake... Some people thought maybe Big Boss was still alive... But his eye patch was on the other eye, so that wouldn't work...

Then people thought maybe Solidus... That would fit, because the eye patch is on the correct eye...

However now it doesn't appear to be an eyepatch at all :>

The first picture of the ones Null posted looks like it might be from the Eye Patch.

I thought that too, however I just watched the trailer and it turns out that infrared-esque view is coming from one of those walking mechs...

The trailer is here: http://65.110.55.90/mgs4.wmv for anybody interested...

Not sure how long that'll stay up...

You'll notice though that in the video he has his own scanner vision from the Snake Eye.

Looks like there is comic relief as well.
