Liquid (even if he's some weird fusion with Ocelot now)? FOXDIE? Raiden actually being badass? (he's gotten the Grey Fox treatment, it looks like...) Old man Snake? (i so hope there's fatigue in this game...)
The promo trailer Knives posted looks pretty sick, but once again it indicates that there's going to be alot of cool stuff going down in cut-scenes... I was hoping for more interactive gameplay, but those cutscenes did look badass... I'm very happy that they're finally getting back to some of the stuff from the first Metal Gear Solid, after that complete crap-house called Sons of Liberty and the prequel (although good) Snake Eater.
Hideo Kojima, single-handedly forcing the PS3 into our lives...
edit - where can i find clips or even images of ACTUAL gameplay for this? do they exist?
