MGS4 showed us (ending) who BB really was. Also, same goes for Zero. Different ideaologies on what they believed The Boss wanted. They took different paths. I dont think BB is this demon previous trailers have shown him to be. In fact, I do believe Zero has constructed "a plot" to make BB out to be what we have thought of him from the beginning... "a bad guy".

I can follow the idea that the playable character in MGSV is Gray Fox. I don't think I need to rehash his backstory here as we are all pretty aware of it or go through PS video analysis one by one. I do believe this is a frame-job put on by Zero to smeer the name of BB, much like The Boss was willing to smeer her name for the sake of the "good fight", though in this instance, BB is forced in this situation.

A power struggle clearly exists between the two men and in this period, Zero has the upper hand. Gray Fox is a pawn of Zero and would not be surprised if the actions in the majority of the game take place while BB is actually in a coma. I would not be surprised if, like MGS2, we are to play as GF and BB.

But who knows. Kojima is a mastermind at messing with out minds. He's done it in every game we have played in the MGS, in multiple ways, from the controller port in MGS1, to revealing Solid has a brother (or two), to showing us as Snake in all the trailers up to MGS2 then for the majority of a game playing as this unknown character Raiden, to giving us a different glimpse of who BB is in MGS3, to fooling us about Ocelot in MGS4 and this is to name a few. So... I'll wait and see what tricks is up the man's sleeve in this one, but none-the-less, always fun to speculate.
