Considering that those stories were concocted more than 2 decades ago, it seems reasonable to expect that Kojima's vision for the series has developed significantly since then. Furthermore, Big Boss' flattering portrayal in MGS4 is a far cry from his portrayals in each of MG1 and MG2. Either MGSV will soften the crimes Big Boss commits in MG1 and MG2 or it will show that someone else was responsible. I also find it difficult to swallow that someone who is supposedly playing as significant a role as Skull Face could go unmentioned throughout the rest of the series, especially by characters such as Ocelot and Eva. I hope none of the explanations for these mysteries is as dire as Liquid Ocelot's bizarre and unnecessary self-hypnosis and psychotherapy. You do realize Skullface wasn't even conceptualized until MGSV started production, right? Hideo literally went with the thought every Metal Gear title was the last up until Peacewalker, so no... your point about Skullface going unmention holds no water what so ever.

And there's something people keep ignoring. HIDEO KOJIMA stated we will be playing through Big Boss's downfall into villainy. Seeing how that's the case...WHY in gods name would we be playing as anyone else? If Snake in TPP is anyone BUT BIG BOSS, why would he give a shit about the white flowers? Why would Volgin chase him? Why would anyone listen to him? Why would the soldiers around Mother base call him Big Boss? Freaking THINK PEOPLE.
