Big Boss with a FoxHound beret and what looks like Solid Snake? Seems more like MG1 art rather than Peace Walker.
There’s still a huge Peace Walker Logo in there; and the Foxhound unit was already created by Big Boss before that, in Portable Ops.
True. Plus Zeke and the Motherbase soldiers. I know FoxHound was created in PO, but the FoxHound logo and Solid Snake(?) is still interesting in this PW artwork.
That’s not Solid Snake. Solid Snake is not anywhere in this image.
Are you sure? The black and white figure in the foreground with a bandana and no eyepatch?
Yeah, it does indeed look more like Solid Snake rather than Big Boss.
It does, in a way.
But it is Big Boss (look at his clothes, boots, right knee, shoulders…).
The ambiguity may be intentional. There’s a very peculiar reflection on the spot where the eyepatch is supposed to be, which makes it look like he’s not wearing one.
Big Boss used the bandana in Peace Walker. It was only in the end when he threw it away, when he moved on from The Boss.
The eye-patch can be hard to notice in that black and white figure, because of Shinkawa’s art style and the bandana being close to it.
This artwork can be found in the official Peace Walker artbook.
And on the HD Premium Pack OST.
“No! That is NOT Solid Snake!” 😉
14 days left.
😀 oooh yeah
Yep, can’t wait.
PS: I’m a little worried that there are less then 2 weeks left, and still don’t have a PC Trailer, or an up to date version of the Comparison Trailer for Ground Zeroes.
Godly Art as always! Shinkawa-san!
Looks so cool <3 !
Vic boss!
how much does this run in american dollar? i can’t quite figure it out.
Around $430 for the aluminium finish and $550 for the plexiglas finish.
Don’t know how much they charge for shipping overseas.
