No, they weren't. Not in the cutscenes/gameplay, at least. Can't say whether such was the case in Codec calls, as I don't know whether the prologue even utilizes Codec.

I fail to see how this is an issue. He's clearly wearing gloves to conceal his cyborg hands. I mean he didn't transform into that cyborg suit as soon as a he threw his blazer off. He was wearing it undeneath. You can see that by his feet when he steps on the ground. He has heavy armor cyborg feet underneath his pants. The camera focuses in on it just so you can see that he' has a cyborg body underneathe, which I still beleive is a body, and not a suit. Even still, a Konami rep basically stated that the armor was a suit. And besides which, look closely at Raiden's arm when it is cut off: The stump looked more different than when he had to remove his other arms, hinting at it being more human based. I think the description for the prologue armor even implied that it was effectively wearable armor, if one of the people's comments on GameFAQs is anything to go by. As I have yet to actually play the game, and they havem't released gameplay videos of the prologue suit yet, I can't verify whether this is true or not. We need confirmation on the Konami rep. Nevermind a Capcom rep once said Nero was Vergil's son, but Capcom said he was full of crap and just part of the localization team. I have the prelude armor in game and it calls it a body. The only "suit" that you can unlock is his blazer.

Suit, as in, wearable armor. That's what I think that rep meant. I also created a topic on GameFAQs to find that source. I know it was mentioned on either MGSForums or GameFAQs, I think it was an interview.

And if he was crap, why didn't Capcom just fire him for making that error. If Dan Rather got fired for the Killian Documents controversy, they can most certainly fire him for something like that. Something like that would make the company look bad.
