I haven't watched all the gameplay footage, but from what I've read Medic went through hynotherapy like Ocelot did to become Liquid Ocelot.

Basically Kojima took twists from MGS2 and MGS4 and threw them in a blender, in order to explain a minor inconsistancy of how Big Boss survived in MG1. Okay hynotherapy is acceptable (although certainly not preferred), but still the MG1 Big Boss has no horn, which is still a minor inconsistancy to the game saga unless he sort of say that Ahab's horn got squeezed out through time.

To me, such story writing has cheapened the MGS4 ending, making the ending reconciliation much less touching and still left unanswered questions. I am still puzzled how real Big Boss regain control at FOXHOUND and why he sent Snake to hunt down the fake Big Boss who is fighting against Zero's cause...
