As we're debating about this, I can't help but think it would've been cool if they had indeed made a game that focused more on the things that happened after MGS2 and before MGS4 like what was in their original draft. That you'd take control of Raiden, rescue Sunny, help out the Paradise Lost Army, see him get acquanted with Borris, see him get taken by The Patriots and turned into a cyborg ninja, then later rescued...maybe also focus on the stuff that happened during MGS4 and how Borris survived the ordeal that whiped most of Big Mama's group out. That kinda stuff. My only question is: "What's stopping them?" and the only answer I can come up with for that would be "originality and giving the fans something that they don't expect or predict." Though who's to say that they can't tell it in their own way when they made prequels that involved Big Boss and Ocelot when you know that they both survive in each game? So many questions to criticize Konami with...
