The more I think about it, Big Boss telling Solid Snake he was his father actually doesn't make much sense considering his attitude about the Les Enfants Terribles project throughout the rest of the series. He left the Patriots in disgust over the project, and decades later in MGS 4 he reveals to Snake, "I've never thought of you as a son, but I've always respected you as a soldier." Now what I think might have been cool is if, at the end of Metal Gear (which I would love to see remade someday) Big Boss revealed to Snake before their first fight not only that he was the commander of Outer Heaven,  but also that he was his father and tried to get Snake to join him like Darth Vader did. Also, I maintain that Gray Fox will appear in Phantom Pain, with Big Boss in Africa, and that they will found Outer Heaven together (maybe with Kaz). Operation Intrude N312 was a ruse from the begginning.
