Kojima wouldn't be lying if he said that we will be playing as Snake/Big Boss, because if there is actually a new character involved, he would eventually be codenamed Snake too...

The fact that Kiefer Sutherland was introduced as 'Snake' only is already mysterious... They never confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland will be the voice for BIG BOSS, and this alone makes you doubt whether or not he will actually be the real big boss... Why weren't they specific in the Konami Pre-E3 show (calling him just Snake)? Don't forget that there are 4 Snakes in the MGS universe, and at the start of MGS2 Raiden was also codenamed Snake.

Python himself said that there was nothing more to add on the turning-on (eye-patch) animation unless it is featured again in upcoming trailers/gameplay videos, he already showed what he noticed and couldn't show more, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I doubt it's just a leaning animation... You can clearly see that he was already next to the wall when he lifts his hand towards his face, but that's a matter of opinions now. :)

I don't blame him for analyzing every little detail because Kojima is known for his mind tricks and we can never know for sure what's happening unless revealed in other trailers and in the final game. And again, I don't blame him for creating a reply video since Yong tried to ridicule him and some of his theories and Yong was mocked by his own viewers with some of his own reasons, so it was a fair reply by the 2 brothers.

Also, I really can't understand how someone who pretends to be such an avid MGS fan like Yong tries to debunk a theory when he doesn't know how to pronounce Frank Jaeger, saying Jay-ger... And this was noted by his own viewers, but whatever. :P

Anyway, I respect Python's theory and your opinion as well.

It's just a matter of time now before we know the truth. :)
