Yeah true. It's hard to know how much of this is hype generation and how much is actually the game we will be playing. Hopefully it's fairly "product as described" though. Kojima got burned pretty bad by MGS2 so hopefully he's playing a straight hand.

The Peacewalker thing was pretty cheap though. But people should've been able to figure out that he would've been a toddler or so during the events of that game and would not feature in any serious capacity.

The trailer in my opinion is projecting Eli as a fairly important character, since he gets an intro in the same way as Codetalker, Quiet, Ocelot, Huey etc. Liquid is kind of a fan favourite. The timeline is right for it, and it's a great opportunity for character expansion which I really hope Kojima doesn't miss the boat on. I don't think he will though, after he shed light on Ocelot so well in MGS3.
