Weekly Request and Discussion Thread | April 12th, 2021

With the Metal Gear rumours gaining momentum recently I want to share an observation I had from the Demons Souls Tech breakdown video with Digital Foundry from back in Nov 2020 that I haven’t seen discussed anywhere.

This may be me seeing what I want to see but that looks like Solid Snake’s blurred silhouette on the left behind Marco Thrush. To me, that appears to be a part of Snake’s upper torso, armoured vest and his bandana. The dark blue hues against the white background also remind me of the first MGS’ art and atmosphere. The other image directly behind Marco also seems to contain a large object which dominates much of the picture. This is probably a boss from Demons Souls or Sotc but I wonder if this could be Metal Gear Rex or even the original Metal Gear (the warmer colour palette could suggest a scene from Outer Heaven in South Africa). That is probably a stretch though.

Marco may just be having fun with the fans or it may be something unrelated. However, given the rumours, I think the image(s) could be new concept art for the MGS remake on PS5.
